5. Termination

 

    (a) Employee’s
employment with the Company and the Employment Period will end on the earlier of (i) Employee’s death or Disability (defined below),
(ii) Employee’s resignation or (iii) termination by the Company at any time with or without Cause. Except as otherwise
provided herein, any termination of the Employment Period by the Company or by Employee will be effective as specified in a written notice
from the terminating Party to the other Party.

 

    (b) If
the Employment Period is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) above or (ii) by the Company with Cause, or if Employee resigns
(other than for Good Reason), then Employee will only be entitled to receive his Base Salary through the date of such termination
and will not thereafter be entitled to any other salary, bonus, severance, compensation or benefits from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or affiliates or their benefit plans, other than vested retirement benefits or insurance continuation rights expressly required under
applicable law (such as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). In the event
of a termination under the Section 5(b), Employee’s unvested stock options shall be forfeited and immediately cease to be
exercisable effective as of the date of such termination. Vested stock options shall remain exercisable by Employee until the earlier
of (x) the three (3) month anniversary of such termination and (y) any expiration date of such options, as more fully provided for in
the Option Plan.

 

    (c) If
(i)  Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated either by the Company without Cause or by Employee with Good Reason
and (ii) Employee executes and delivers a general release (the “Release”) in favor of the Company and its affiliates
in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and such Release is not revoked or rescinded so that it becomes effective in accordance
with its terms no later than sixty (60) days following the date of Employee’s termination, and so long as Employee continues to
comply with the terms of the Agreement and the Release, Employee will be entitled to receive continuation of her Base Salary and group
health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with COBRA subject to payment of premiums by the Company, for a period
equal to six (6) months after the date of termination (the “Severance Period”) (provided that any amounts otherwise
payable prior to the effective date of the Release shall instead accrue and be paid during the first payroll period that follows the Release
effective date, with the remainder of the payments made as originally scheduled). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations
to pay Employee’s COBRA premiums shall cease during the Severance Period to the extent that Employee becomes eligible to participate
in another entity’s health and disability insurance programs. Employee agrees to promptly advise the Company of the amount and source
of any compensation received or earned by him for services rendered and/or any eligibility to participate in another entity’s health
and disability insurance plan during the Severance Period. Additionally, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company
cannot provide the COBRA premium benefits to Employee without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law
(including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof pay Employee a taxable
cash amount, which payment shall be made regardless of whether the Employee or his qualifying family members elect COBRA continuation
coverage (the “Health Care Benefit Payment”). The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be paid in monthly or bi-weekly
installments on the same schedule that the COBRA premiums would otherwise have been paid to the insurer. The Health Care Benefit Payment
shall be equal to the amount that the Company otherwise would have paid for COBRA insurance premiums (which amount shall be calculated
based on the premium for the first month of coverage), and shall be paid until the expiration of the Severance Period.

    (d) The
severance payments payable to Employee pursuant to Section 5(c) will be paid at the time and in the manner set forth in Section
3 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions apply to the extent severance benefits provided
herein are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations
and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”). Severance benefits
shall not commence until Employee has a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A. Each installment of severance
benefits is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the severance benefits are intended
to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5)
and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if such exemptions are not available and Employee is, upon separation from service, a “specified employee”
for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the
timing of the severance benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one day after Employee’s
separation from service, or (ii) Employee’s death. If the severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the
application of Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Employee
separates from service, Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Employee’s
separation from service. None of the severance benefits will be paid or otherwise delivered prior to the effective date (or deemed effective
date) of the Release. Except to the minimum extent that payments must be delayed because Employee is a “specified employee”
or until the effectiveness of the Release, all amounts will be paid as soon as practicable in accordance with the Company’s normal
payroll practices. The severance benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its
requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be
interpreted accordingly.

 

    (e) Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of Employee’s rights to salary, bonuses, fringe benefits, severance and other compensation
hereunder or under any policy or program or benefit plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which might otherwise accrue or become
payable on or after the termination of the Employment Period will cease upon such termination other than vested retirement benefits or
insurance continuation rights expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA).

 

    - 4 -

     

    

 

   (f) For
purposes of the Agreement, the following terms shall have the following definitions:

  

    (i) “Cause”
will mean (A) the commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or the commission of any other act or omission involving
misappropriation, dishonesty, unethical business conduct, disloyalty, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty, (B) reporting to work under the
influence of alcohol, (C) the use of illegal drugs (whether or not at the workplace) or other conduct, even if not in conjunction with
his duties hereunder, which could reasonably be expected to, or which does, cause the Company public disgrace or disrepute or economic
harm, (D) failure to perform duties as lawfully directed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Board or any other officer or representative
of the Company to whom Employee reports, (E) gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates
or in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, (F) obtaining any personal profit not thoroughly disclosed to and approved
by the Board in connection with any transaction entered into by, or on behalf of, or in relation to, the Company, (G) violating any of
the terms of the Company’s established rules or policies which, if curable, is not cured to the Board’s reasonable satisfaction
within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Employee, (H) the unwillingness to meet the performance objectives outlined by
the Board, or (I) any other material breach of the Agreement or any other agreement between Employee and the Company which, if curable,
is not cured to the Board’s reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (30) days after written notice thereof to Employee.

 

    (ii) “Disability”
shall mean Employee has become permanently disabled within the meaning of any policy of disability income insurance covering employees
of the Company then in force. In the event the Company has no policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the Company
in force when Employee becomes disabled, the term “Disability” shall mean the inability of Employee to perform Employee’s
duties under the Agreement, whether with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of any incapacity, physical or mental, which the
Board, based upon medical advice or an opinion provided by a licensed physician acceptable to the Board, determines to have incapacitated
Employee from satisfactorily performing all of Employee’s usual services for the Company, with or without reasonable accommodation,
for a period of at least one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve (12) month period (whether or not consecutive). Based upon such
medical advice or opinion, the determination of the Board shall be final and binding and the date such determination is made shall be
the date of such Disability for purposes of the Agreement.

 

    (ii) “Equity
Event” will mean either: (A) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a person, or a group of related persons,
acquires from stockholders of the Company shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company,
except for transactions which the Board determines in good faith are primarily financing transactions, (B) a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues shares of its capital
stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the shares of capital
stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged
for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power,
of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting
corporation, excluding in any case transactions which the Board determines in good faith are primarily financing transactions, or (C)
the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except where such
sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

    - 5 -

     

    

 

    (iii) “Good
Reason” will mean the occurrence of any of the following without Employee’s consent: (A) Employee is involuntarily assigned
a position materially inconsistent with Employee’s position, (B) a relocation of Employee’s principal place of employment
by more than 100 miles, or (C) the Company commits any material breach of the Agreement, provided that any such occurrence (x)
shall only constitute “Good Reason” during the thirty (30) day period following the date such event occurs (after which it
shall be deemed waived by Employee if prior thereto Employee has not exercised his right to resign for “Good Reason”) and
(y) shall only constitute “Good Reason” if Employee gives written notice to the Company of his intent to terminate the
Agreement and the Company fails to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after such.

 

6. Section
280G

 

    (a) If
any payment or benefit Employee would receive from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute
a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for the sentence, be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced
Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the
Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after
taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest
applicable marginal rate), results in Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding
that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding
sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner
(the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for Employee. If more than one method
of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction
Method”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion
of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section
409A of the Code, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid
the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the
greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for Employee as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments
that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are
not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code.

 

    - 6 -

     

    

 

    (b) In
the event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined pursuant
to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise Tax, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient
amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced
Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, Employee will have no obligation to return any portion of the
Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

    (c) Unless
Employee and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance
purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the change in control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting
firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in control,
the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear
all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

 

    (d) The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide
its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after
the date on which Employee’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by Employee or the Company) or such other
time as requested by Employee or the Company.

 

7. Confidential
Information

 

    (a) Employee
recognizes and acknowledges that the continued success of the Company and its Subsidiaries depends upon the use and protection of a large
body of confidential and proprietary information and that Employee will have access to certain Confidential Information of the Company,
its affiliates and Persons with which the Company and its affiliates do business, and that such Confidential Information constitutes valuable,
special and unique property of the Company, its affiliates and such other Persons. “Confidential Information” includes
all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (i) related to the Company’s
or its affiliates’ (including their predecessors) current or potential business and (ii) not generally or publicly known. Confidential
Information includes, without limitation, any and all oral, written, graphic, electronic or machine readable information, observations
and data obtained by Employee while employed by the Company (or any of its predecessors) concerning the business or affairs of the Company
or any of its affiliates, including information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Company’s or
its affiliates’ business or industry, the identities of the current, former or prospective employees, officers, directors, advisers,
attorneys, representatives, stockholders, suppliers and customers of the Company, development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies

processes, designs, drawings, engineering, formulae, markets and potential markets, regulatory and quality assurance information, medical
reports, clinical data and analysis, biological materials, chemical formulas and agreements with third parties. Employee agrees that he
will use the Confidential Information only as necessary and only in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder. Employee
agrees that they will not disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for any other purposes (except as described in the immediately preceding
sentence) any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that (a) the Confidential
Information becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Employee’s acts or omissions
or (b) Employee is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to disclose Confidential Information, provided that Employee must (i)
provide prompt written notice to the Company of any relevant process or pleadings that could lead to such an order and (ii) cooperate
with the Company to contest, object to or limit such a request and, in any case, when revealing, such Confidential Information to such
court order.

 

    - 7 -

     

    

 

    (b) Employee
understands that the Company and its affiliates may receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third
Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company and its affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of such information
and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the foregoing
provisions of the Section 7, Employee will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose
to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of the Company or its affiliates who need to, and are authorized to, know such information
in connection with their work for the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates) or use Third Party Information unless expressly authorized
by the Board.

 

    (c) During
the Employment Period, Employee will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former
employers or any other Person, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates any documents
or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person unless consented to in writing by the Board.

 

8. Return
of Corporate Property. Employee acknowledges and agrees that all notes, records, reports, sketches, plans, unpublished memoranda or
other documents, whether in paper, electronic or other form (and all copies thereof), held by Employee concerning any information relating
to the business of the Company, whether confidential or not, are the property of the Company. Employee will deliver to the Company at
the termination or expiration of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request, all property of the Company or its
affiliates, including, without limitation, all equipment, files, property, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes,
printouts and software, Confidential Information and other documents and data (and all electronic, paper or other copies thereof) in the
possession or control of Employee. Employee will take any and all actions reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company from
time to time in its sole discretion to ensure the continued confidentiality and protection of the Confidential Information. Employee will
notify the Company promptly and in writing of any circumstances of which Employee has knowledge relating to any disclosure to or possession
or use of any Confidential Information other than as specifically authorized herein.

9. Non-Solicitation

 

    (a) So
long as Employee is employed by the Company and for one year thereafter (the “Nonsolicit Period”), Employee will not,
either directly or through others, solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the company to
terminate his or his relationship with the Company in order to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any
other person or entity.

 

    (b) Employee
acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in the Section 9 with respect to time and scope of activity are reasonable
and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the trade secrets and other legitimate business interests of the Company
and that Employee has had the opportunity to review the provisions of the Agreement with Employee’s legal counsel. In particular,
Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Company expends significant time and effort developing and protecting the confidentiality of
their methods of doing business, technology, customer lists, long term customer relationships and trade secrets and such methods, technology,
customer lists, customer relationships and trade secrets have significant value. However, if, at the time of enforcement of the Section
9, a court holds that the duration or scope of activity restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing
or impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the trade secrets and other business interests of the Company, the Parties
agree that the maximum duration or scope under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration or scope and that the court
will be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration and scope permitted by law, in all cases giving
effect to the intent of the Parties that the restrictions contained herein be given effect to the broadest extent possible. The existence
of any claim or cause of action by Employee against the Company or any of its affiliates, whether predicated on the Agreement or otherwise,
will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or the Section
9, which Sections will be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any breach by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee
will not be prohibited from pursuing such claims or causes of action against the Company. Employee consents to the Company notifying any
future employer of Employee of Employee’s obligations under Sections 7, 8 and the Section 9 of the Agreement.

 

    (c) In
the event of the breach or a threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or the Section 9,
the Company, in addition and supplementary to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor, will be entitled to specific performance
and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the
provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Employee
of the Section 9, the Nonsolicit Period will be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

 

    - 9 -

     

    

 

  (d) If
the Company (i) brings any action or proceeding to enforce any provision of the Agreement or to obtain damages as a result of a breach
of the Agreement or to enjoin any breach of the Agreement and (ii) prevails in such action or proceeding, then Employee will, in addition
to any other rights and remedies available to the Company, reimburse the Company for any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company in connection with such action or proceeding.

 

10. Employee’s
Representations. Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (i) he has entered into the Agreement of his own free
will for no consideration other than as referred to herein, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by Employee
does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or
decree to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is bound and (iii) upon the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the
Company, the Agreement will be the valid and binding obligation of Employee, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Employee hereby
acknowledges and represents that Employee has had the opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel regarding Employee’s
rights and obligations under the Agreement and that Employee fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

corporation, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or partnership, proprietorship, other business organization,

in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any action in any other jurisdiction,

The Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by facsimile signature pages), each of which is deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.

 

17. No
Strict Construction. The Parties hereto jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of the Agreement. The language used in

18. Successors
and Assigns. The Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee, the Company and their respective
heirs, successors and assigns. Employee may not assign his rights or delegate his duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written

of the agreement, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of California. The parties agree that all disputes, legal
actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to the agreement must be brought exclusively in a federal district court located
in the Southern District of California or a California State Court in San Diego County (collectively the “Designated Courts”).
Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with
respect to the agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction
and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated

Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday
in the state in which the Company’s chief-executive office is located, the time period shall automatically be extended to the business
day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

 

21. Withholding.
The Company and its Subsidiaries will be entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts owing to Employee any federal, state, local or
foreign withholding taxes, excise tax, or employment taxes (“Taxes”) imposed with respect to Employee’s compensation
or other payments from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Employee’s ownership interest in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or its parent (including, without limitation, wages, bonuses, dividends, the receipt or exercise of equity options and/or the receipt
or vesting of restricted equity). In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not make such deductions or withholdings, Employee
will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries for any amounts paid with respect to any such Taxes.

 

22. Corporate
Opportunities. During the Employment Period, Employee will submit to the Board all business, commercial and investment opportunities
or offers presented to Employee or of which Employee becomes aware which relate to the businesses of the Company as such businesses of
the Company exist at any time during the Employment Period (“Corporate Opportunities”). During the Employment Period,
unless approved by the Board, Employee will not accept or pursue, directly or indirectly, any Corporate Opportunities on Employee’s
own behalf.

 

    - 12 -

     

    

 

23. Assistance
in Proceedings. During the Employment Period and thereafter, Employee will cooperate with the Company in any internal investigation
or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding as reasonably requested by the Company (including, without limitation, Employee being
available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s request to
give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to the Company all pertinent information and
turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into Employee’s possession, all at times and on schedules
that are reasonably consistent with Employee’s other permitted activities and commitments). In the event the Company requires Employee’s
cooperation in accordance with the Section 23, the Company will pay Employee a reasonable per diem as determined by the Board
and reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).

 

24. Waiver
of Statutory Limitations Periods. Employee agrees that any claim against the Company relating to the employment relationship between
the Company and Employee (including the termination of the employment relationship) must be brought against the Company within 180 days
of the event giving rise to the claim, or within the applicable statutory limitations period (whichever period is shorter), or else Employee’s
claim is forever barred. Employee waives any other limitations periods.

 

25. Amendment
and Waiver. The provisions of the Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and Employee
in a formal instrument, and no course of conduct or course of dealing or failure or delay by any Party hereto in enforcing or exercising
any of the provisions of the Agreement will affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Agreement or be deemed to be
an implied waiver of any provision of the Agreement.

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of (the “Effective Date”), between Suneva Medical,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Patricia Altavilla (the “Employee”). This Agreement
amends and restates in its entirety that certain EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated September 19, 2016 between the Company and the Employee (the
“Prior Agreement”). The Company and Employee are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party”
and together as “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires
to retain Employee to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company on the terms set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, Employee acknowledges
that in connection with her employment, Employee will have access to valuable Confidential Information (as defined below) including, but
not limited to, methods of doing business, business plans and trade secrets;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.
Employment; Term. Employee was promoted to Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company effective as of February 19, 2019
(the “Promotion Date”). The Company will employ Employee, and Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company,
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement until terminated in accordance with Section 5 (the “Employment Period”).

 

2.
Position and Duties

 

(a)
During the Employment Period, Employee will serve as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and will have the normal
duties, responsibilities and authority of this office, subject to the power of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”)
to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities and authority. During the Employment Period, you will also serve as a member of the Board,
provided that you agree to resign as a member of the Board should your employment with the Company cease or at any other time requested
by the Board.

 

(b)
During the Employment Period, Employee will report to the Board and will devote her best efforts and full business time and attention
(except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of the Company
and its subsidiaries and to the performance of such duties as may be assigned from time to time by the Company. Employee will act in the
best interest of the Company and, except as may be specifically permitted by the Board in writing, will not engage in any other business
activity. Employee will perform her duties, responsibilities and functions on behalf of the Company hereunder to the best of her abilities
in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner.

 

     

     

    

 

(c)
Employee will be officed primarily at the Company’s San Diego facility. Employee may be required to travel from time to time in
connection with Company business.

 

3.
Compensation.

 

(a)
Effective as of the Promotion Date, Employee’s base salary will be Four Hundred Thousand dollars ($400,000) per annum (as may be
adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”). Employee’s Base Salary will be paid by the Company in regular
installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices and may be increased annually in the sole discretion of
the Board.

 

(b)
In addition to the Base Salary, for each complete calendar year during the Employment Period so long as Employee is employed on the date
such bonus is paid, Employee will be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus (“Bonus”) of up to 50% of Base Salary
based on several performance-related targets to be determined by the Board under the Company’s performance based incentive bonus
plan. Any Bonus for 2019 will be prorated based on a 365-day fiscal year. Any earned Bonus will be paid to Employee no later than March
15th following the calendar year in which the Bonus is earned.

 

(c)
Employee was previously granted a stock option under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Option Plan”)
for 2,001,713 shares of the Company’s common stock, which will vest over four years in accordance with the Company’s standard
vesting program, subject to Employee’s continued service with the Company and as more fully set forth in the Option Plan and Employee’s
stock option agreement; provided that if a Change in Control (as defined in the Option Plan) occurs during Employee’s continued
service, then the vesting of the stock option shall be accelerated in full as of immediately prior to the effective time of such Change
in Control (provided that no such vesting acceleration shall occur as a result of the Company’s proposed transaction with Bimini
Technologies Holding Company LLC and/or its affiliates to the extent such transaction constitutes a Change in Control).

 

(d)
Employee shall be entitled to receive subsequent stock option grants with terms commensurate with Employee’s position as President
and Chief Executive Officer in the aesthetics industry as may be approved by the Board in its sole discretion.

 

(e)
All amounts payable to Employee hereunder will be subject to all required withholding by the Company.

 

4.
Benefits. In addition to the Base Salary and other compensation provided for in Section 3 above, Employee will be entitled
to the following benefits during the Employment Period:

 

(a)
Employee will be entitled to participate in the Company’s health and welfare benefit programs and vacation and other benefit programs
for which other employees of the Company are generally eligible, subject to any eligibility requirements of such plans and programs.

 

    -2-

     

    

 

(b)
The Company will reimburse Employee for all reasonable expenses incurred in the course of performing her duties and responsibilities under
this Agreement which are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment
and other business expenses, subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to timely reporting and documentation of such expenses.
Any reimbursement payments that are taxable income to Employee will be paid to Employee promptly after submission, but in no event later
than the December 31st of the calendar year following the year in which the expenses were incurred.

 

5.
Termination

 

(a)
Employee’s employment with the Company and the Employment Period will end on the earlier of (i) Employee’s death or Disability
(defined below), (ii) Employee’s resignation or (iii) termination by the Company at any time with or without Cause. Except
as otherwise provided herein, any termination of the Employment Period by the Company or by Employee will be effective as specified in
a written notice from the terminating Party to the other Party.

 

(b)
If the Employment Period is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) above or (ii) by the Company with Cause, or if Employee
resigns (other than for Good Reason), then Employee will only be entitled to receive her Base Salary through the date of termination and
payments (at the rate of Base Salary then in effect) for any vacation time accrued during the portion of the then-current calendar year
ending with the date of such termination and not used prior to that date and will not thereafter be entitled to any other salary, bonus,
severance, compensation or benefits from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or their benefit plans, other than vested
retirement benefits or insurance continuation rights expressly required under applicable law (such as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”)). In the event of a termination under this Section 5(b), Employee’s
unvested stock options shall be forfeited and immediately cease to be exercisable effective as of the date of such termination. Vested
stock options shall remain exercisable by Employee until the earlier of (x) the three (3) month anniversary of such termination and (y)
any expiration date of such options, as more fully provided for in the Option Plan.

 

(c)
If (i)  Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated either by the Company without Cause or by Employee with Good Reason
and (ii) Employee executes and delivers a general release (the “Release”) in favor of the Company and its affiliates
in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and such Release is not revoked or rescinded so that it becomes effective in accordance
with its terms no later than sixty (60) days following the date of Employee’s termination, and so long as Employee continues to
comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Release, Employee will be entitled to receive continuation of her Base Salary and group
health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with COBRA subject to payment of premiums by the Company, for a period
equal to one (1) year after the date of termination (the “Severance Period”) (provided that any amounts otherwise payable
prior to the effective date of the Release shall instead accrue and be paid during the first payroll period that follows the Release effective
date, with the remainder of the payments made as originally scheduled). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations
to pay Employee’s COBRA premiums shall cease during the Severance Period to the extent that Employee becomes eligible to participate
in another entity’s health and disability insurance programs. Employee agrees to promptly advise the Company of the amount and source
of any compensation received or earned by her for services rendered and/or any eligibility to participate in another entity’s health
and disability insurance plan during the Severance Period. Additionally, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company
cannot provide the COBRA premium benefits to Employee without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law
(including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof pay Employee a taxable
cash amount, which payment shall be made regardless of whether the Employee or her qualifying family members elect COBRA continuation
coverage (the “Health Care Benefit Payment”). The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be paid in monthly or bi-weekly
installments on the same schedule that the COBRA premiums would otherwise have been paid to the insurer. The Health Care Benefit Payment
shall be equal to the amount that the Company otherwise would have paid for COBRA insurance premiums (which amount shall be calculated
based on the premium for the first month of coverage), and shall be paid until the expiration of the Severance Period.

 

    -3-

     

    

 

Additionally, in the event
of a termination under this Section 5(c), the vesting of all stock options then held by Employee will accelerate and be deemed
vested and exercisable as of the effective date of termination as if Employee had remained an employee of the Company for one (1) year
following the effective date of termination and shall remain exercisable in accordance with their terms until the earlier of (x) the twelve
(12) month anniversary of such termination and (y) any expiration date of such options, in each case subject to Employee’s execution
of the Release and such Release becoming effective and not being revoked or rescinded in accordance with its terms, and so long as Employee
continues to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Release.

 

(d)
The severance payments payable to Employee pursuant to Section 5(c) will be paid at the time and in the manner set forth in Section
3 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions apply to the extent severance benefits provided
herein are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations
and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”). Severance benefits
shall not commence until Employee has a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A. Each installment of severance
benefits is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the severance benefits are intended
to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5)
and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if such exemptions are not available and Employee is, upon separation from service, a “specified employee”
for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the
timing of the severance benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one day after Employee’s
separation from service, or (ii) Employee’s death. If the severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the
application of Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Employee
separates from service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Employee’s
separation from service. None of the severance benefits will be paid or otherwise delivered prior to the effective date (or deemed effective
date) of the Release. Except to the minimum extent that payments must be delayed because Employee is a “specified employee”
or until the effectiveness of the Release, all amounts will be paid as soon as practicable in accordance with the Company’s normal
payroll practices. The severance benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its
requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be
interpreted accordingly.

 

(e)
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of Employee’s rights to salary, bonuses, fringe benefits, severance and other
compensation hereunder or under any policy or program or benefit plans of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which might otherwise
accrue or become payable on or after the termination of the Employment Period will cease upon such termination other than vested retirement
benefits or insurance continuation rights expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA).

 

    -4-

     

    

 

(f)  
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following definitions:

 

(i)
“Cause” will mean (A) the commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or the commission of any
other act or omission involving misappropriation, dishonesty, unethical business conduct, disloyalty, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty,
(B) reporting to work under the influence of alcohol, (C) the use of illegal drugs (whether or not at the workplace) or other conduct,
even if not in conjunction with her duties hereunder, which could reasonably be expected to, or which does, cause the Company public disgrace
or disrepute or economic harm, (D) failure to perform duties as lawfully directed by the Board, (E) gross negligence or willful misconduct
with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates or in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, (F) obtaining any personal
profit not thoroughly disclosed to and approved by the Board in connection with any transaction entered into by, or on behalf of, or in
relation to, the Company, (G) violating any of the terms of the Company’s established rules or policies which, if curable, is not
cured to the Board’s reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Employee, (H) the unwillingness
to meet the performance objectives outlined by the Board, (I) failure to fulfill the commitment to work in either Santa Barbara or San
Diego as agreed by Employee and the Board, or (J) any other material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between Employee
and the Company which, if curable, is not cured to the Board’s reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (30) days after written notice
thereof to Employee.

 

(ii)       
“Disability” shall mean Employee has become permanently disabled within the meaning of any policy of disability income
insurance covering employees of the Company then in force. In the event the Company has no policy of disability income insurance covering
employees of the Company in force when Employee becomes disabled, the term “Disability” shall mean the inability of Employee
to perform Employee’s duties under this Agreement, whether with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of any incapacity,
physical or mental, which the Board, based upon medical advice or an opinion provided by a licensed physician acceptable to the Board,
determines to have incapacitated Employee from satisfactorily performing all of Employee’s usual services for the Company, with
or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve (12) month period (whether
or not consecutive). Based upon such medical advice or opinion, the determination of the Board shall be final and binding and the date
such determination is made shall be the date of such Disability for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(iii)    “Good
Reason” will mean the occurrence of any of the following without Employee’s consent: (A) Employee is involuntarily assigned
a position, title or management or supervisory responsibilities materially inconsistent with Employee’s position, (B) the salary
of Employee is involuntarily reduced, (C) a relocation of Employee’s principal place of employment by more than 100 miles, or (D)
the Company commits any material breach of this Agreement, provided that any such occurrence (x) shall only constitute “Good
Reason” during the thirty (30) day period following the date such event occurs (after which it shall be deemed waived by Employee
if prior thereto Employee has not exercised her right to resign for “Good Reason”) and (y) shall only constitute “Good
Reason” if Employee gives written notice to the Company of her intent to terminate this Agreement and the Company fails to remedy
the same within thirty (30) days after such.

 

    -5-

     

    

 

6.
Section 280G

 

(a)
If any payment or benefit Employee would receive from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute
payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced
Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject
to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account
all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal
rate), results in Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion
of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced
Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction
Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for Employee. If more than one method of reduction will result in the
same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, then the Reduction
Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to
Section 409A of the Code as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest
economic benefit for Employee as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events
(e.g., being terminated without cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and
(C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be
reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(b)
In the event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined pursuant
to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise Tax, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient
amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced
Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, Employee will have no obligation to return any portion of the
Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

    -6-

     

    

 

(c)
Unless Employee and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance
purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the change in control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting
firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in control,
the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear
all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

 

(d)
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide
its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after
the date on which Employee’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by Employee or the Company) or such other
time as requested by Employee or the Company.

 

7.
Confidential Information

 

(a)
Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the continued success of the Company and its subsidiaries depends upon the use and protection
of a large body of confidential and proprietary information and that Employee will have access to certain Confidential Information of
the Company, its affiliates and Persons with which the Company and its affiliates do business, and that such Confidential Information
constitutes valuable, special and unique property of the Company, its affiliates and such other Persons. “Confidential Information”
includes all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (i) related to the
Company’s or its affiliates’ (including their predecessors) current or potential business and (ii) not generally or publicly
known. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, any and all oral, written, graphic, electronic or machine readable information,
observations and data obtained by Employee while employed by the Company (or any of its predecessors) concerning the business or affairs
of the Company or any of its affiliates, including information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Company’s
or its affiliates’ business or industry, the identities of the current, former or prospective employees, officers, directors, advisers,
attorneys, representatives, stockholders, suppliers and customers of the Company, development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies
and methods of doing business, strategic, marketing and expansion plans and strategies, financial and business plans, financial data,
pricing information, employee and consultant lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives and distributors, new and
existing customer or supplier programs and services, customer terms, customer service and integration processes, requirements and costs
of providing service, support and equipment, technology, trade secrets, know-how, research, product plans, products, developments, inventions,
processes, designs, drawings, engineering, formulae, markets and potential markets, regulatory and quality assurance information, medical
reports, clinical data and analysis, biological materials, chemical formulas and agreements with third parties. Employee agrees that she
will use the Confidential Information only as necessary and only in connection with the performance of her duties hereunder. Employee
agrees that she will not disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for any other purposes (except as described in the immediately preceding
sentence) any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that (a) the Confidential
Information becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Employee’s acts or omissions
or (b) Employee is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to disclose Confidential Information, provided that Employee must (i)
provide prompt written notice to the Company of any relevant process or pleadings that could lead to such an order and (ii) cooperate
with the Company to contest, object to or limit such a request and, in any case, when revealing, such Confidential Information to such
court order.

 

    -7-

     

    

 

(b)
Employee understands that the Company and its affiliates may receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third
Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company and its affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of such information
and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7, Employee will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose
to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of the Company or its affiliates who need to, and are authorized to, know such information
in connection with their work for the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates) or use Third Party Information unless expressly authorized
by the Board.

 

(c)
During the Employment Period, Employee will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any
former employers or any other Person, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates any
documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person unless consented to in writing by the Board.

 

8.
Return of Corporate Property. Employee acknowledges and agrees that all notes, records, reports, sketches, plans, unpublished memoranda
or other documents, whether in paper, electronic or other form (and all copies thereof), held by Employee concerning any information relating
to the business of the Company, whether confidential or not, are the property of the Company. Employee will deliver to the Company at
the termination or expiration of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request, all property of the Company or its
affiliates, including, without limitation, all equipment, files, property, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes,
printouts and software, Confidential Information and other documents and data (and all electronic, paper or other copies thereof) in the
possession or control of Employee. Employee will take any and all actions reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company from
time to time in its sole discretion to ensure the continued confidentiality and protection of the Confidential Information. Employee will
notify the Company promptly and in writing of any circumstances of which Employee has knowledge relating to any disclosure to or possession
or use of any Confidential Information other than as specifically authorized herein.

 

    -8-

     

    

 

9.
Non-Solicitation

 

(a)
So long as Employee is employed by the Company and for one year thereafter (the “Nonsolicit Period”), Employee will
not, either directly or through others, solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the company
to terminate her or her relationship with the Company in order to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any
other Person or entity.

 

(b)
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 9 with respect to time, geographical area, and
scope of activity are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the trade secrets and other legitimate
business interests of the Company and that Employee has had the opportunity to review the provisions of this Agreement with Employee’s
legal counsel. In particular, Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Company expends significant time and effort developing and protecting
the confidentiality of their methods of doing business, technology, customer lists, long term customer relationships and trade secrets
and such methods, technology, customer lists, customer relationships and trade secrets have significant value. However, if, at the time
of enforcement of this Section 9, a court holds that the duration or scope of activity restrictions stated herein are unreasonable
under circumstances then existing or impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the trade secrets and other business interests
of the Company, the Parties agree that the maximum duration or scope under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration
or scope and that the court will be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration and scope permitted
by law, in all cases giving effect to the intent of the Parties that the restrictions contained herein be given effect to the broadest
extent possible. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against the Company or any of its affiliates, whether predicated
on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the provisions of Sections 7,
8 or this Section 9, which Sections will be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any breach by the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Employee will not be prohibited from pursuing such claims or causes of action against the Company. Employee consents to
the Company notifying any future employer of Employee of Employee’s obligations under Sections 7, 8 and this Section
9 of this Agreement.

 

(c)
In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or this Section
9, the Company, in addition and supplementary to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor, will be entitled to specific
performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations
of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Employee
of this Section 9, the Nonsolicit Period will be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

 

(d)
If the Company (i) brings any action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to obtain damages as a result of a breach
of this Agreement or to enjoin any breach of this Agreement and (ii) prevails in such action or proceeding, then Employee will, in addition
to any other rights and remedies available to the Company, reimburse the Company for any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company in connection with such action or proceeding.

by the Company, this Agreement will be the valid and binding obligation of Employee, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Employee

and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. Employee may not assign her rights or delegate her duties or obligations hereunder

THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES,
LEGAL ACTIONS, SUITS AND PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN A FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT

compensation or other payments from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Employee’s ownership interest in the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or its parent (including, without limitation, wages, bonuses, dividends, the receipt or exercise of equity options

request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to the Company all pertinent information
and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into Employee’s possession, all at times and on schedules
that are reasonably consistent with Employee’s other permitted activities and commitments). In the event the Company requires Employee’s
cooperation in accordance with this Section 23, the Company will pay Employee a reasonable per diem as determined by the Board
and reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).

between the Company and Employee (including the termination of the employment relationship) must be brought against the Company within

else Employee’s claim is forever barred. Employee waives any other limitations periods.

 

25.       
Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company
and Employee, and no course of conduct or course of dealing or failure or delay by any Party hereto in enforcing or exercising any of
