CLASS E WARRANT CERTIFICATE FOR THE PURCHASE OF 

SHARES OF THE  COMMON STOCK OF  BIM HOMES, INC. 

THESE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION 

UNDER TITLE 11, SECTION 1145, OF THE U.S. CODE. 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Pacific Media Group Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, hereby certifies that ___________________________________, the registered holder hereof, or registered assigns, (the "Holder") subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and at any time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on August 30, 2016, unless extended, is entitled to:

1.

Purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company for each of the within Warrants exercised at a price of $8.00 per share of such Common Stock (the "Warrant Price") or 

2.

The exercise price for the within Warrants may be reduced, but not increased, by vote of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, however, the exercise price may not be reduced below the highest of: a) the book value of a share, b) the par value of a share, or c) eighty percent (80%) of the closing bid price for a share on the business day prior to the directors’ vote if the stock is publicly traded.  

3.

Convert these Warrants, in whole or in part, into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of conversion, of the shares of Common Stock of the Company which would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to be converted minus the aggregate Warrant Price of the shares of Common Stock of the Company which would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by (b) the said fair market value of one share of the Common Stock of the Company. For the purposes of conversion of these Warrants, fair market value shall be the value determined in accordance with the following provisions:

a.

If the Common Stock of the Company is not at the time listed or admitted on any stock exchange but is traded on the Nasdaq National Market System or SmallCap Market or is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the fair market value shall be the closing selling price per share of such common stock on the date in question, as such price is reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers through, in order of preference, the Nasdaq National Market System, the SmallCap Market, or the OTC Bulletin Board, or any successor system. If there is not a closing selling price for such common stock on the date in question, then the fair market value shall be the closing selling price on the last preceding date for which such a quotation exists.

b.

If the common stock is at the time listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, the fair market value shall be the closing selling price per share of such common stock on the date in question on the stock exchange determined by the Board of Directors of the Company to be the primary market for such common stock, as such price is officially quoted in the composite tape of transactions on the exchange. If there is no closing selling price for such common stock on the date in question then the fair market value shall be the closing selling price on the last preceding date for which such a quotation exists.

c.

If the common stock is at the time neither listed nor admitted to trading on any exchange nor traded on the Nasdaq National Market System nor the SmallCap Market, nor traded on the OTC Bulletin board, then such fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company after taking into account such factors as the Board of Directors of the Company shall deem appropriate.

4.

Upon exercise or conversion of these Warrants, the registered Holder hereof shall surrender to the stock transfer agent of the Company this Warrant Certificate together with a letter identifying the number of warrant shares being exercised or converted, the address to which the share certificate should be sent, and a certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company.

5.

In the case of exercise or conversion of the Warrants, no fractional shares of the Common Stock of the Company shall be issued.

6.

The Company covenants and agrees that shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant will, upon delivery, be free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the purchase thereof hereunder.

7.

This Warrant shall not be exercised or converted by Holder in any state where such exercise or conversion would be unlawful.

8.

The Company agrees at all times to reserve or hold available a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to cover the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of this and all other Warrants of like tenor then outstanding.

9.

This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever except the rights herein set forth, and no dividend shall be payable or accrue in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby, or the shares which may be acquired hereunder, until or unless, and except to the extent that this Warrant shall be exercised or converted, and the Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise or conversion thereof shall become deliverable.

10.

The Warrants are not redeemable nor cancellable by the Company.

11.

This Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to acquire the number of shares which, may be acquired hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to acquire such number of shares as may be designated by the registered Holder at the time of such surrender.

12.

The Company may deem and treat the Holder at any time as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

13.

Notwithstanding any other provision governing the Warrants, if as of the date of exercise, the Company has registered its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Holder may not exercise these Warrants to the extent that immediately following such exercise the Holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  For this purpose, a representation of the Holder that following such exercise it would not beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company.

14.

The number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise or conversion of these Warrants and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

a.

     If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, or if the Company shall declare a stock dividend or distribute shares of Common Stock to its stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased in each instance, and if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or combination thereof the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased in each instance.

b.

     If the Company shall distribute to all of the holders of its shares of Common Stock any security (except as provided in the preceding paragraph) or other assets (other than a distribution made as a 

2

dividend payable out of earnings or out of any earned surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company), the Board of Directors shall be required to make such equitable adjustment in the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution as may be necessary to preserve to the Holder of this Warrant rights substantially proportionate to those enjoyed hereunder by such Holder immediately prior to the happening of such distribution. Any such adjustment shall become effective as of the day following the record date for such distribution.

c.

     Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant is required to be adjusted as provided herein, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) in each instance by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired hereunder upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired hereunder immediately thereafter.

d.

     In case of any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, other than a change covered by paragraph (14a) above or which solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other that a consolidation merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or capital reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expirations of the respective rights of exercise of the Warrant) to receive upon the exercise thereof using the same aggregate Warrant Price applicable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon the dissolution following any sale or other transfer, which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company would obtain upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such event; and if any classification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by paragraph (14a) above, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to both paragraph (14a) above and this paragraph (14d). The provisions of this paragraph (14d) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, or capital reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

e.

     In case of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under any of the Warrants not theretofore exercised nor converted nor expired by their terms shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date so fixed to be not earlier than the date of the commencement of the proceedings for such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than thirty (30) days after such commencement date. Notice of the termination of purchase rights shall be given to the registered Holder of this Warrant as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by certified or registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date.

f.

     In case the Company shall, at any time prior to the Expiration Date of the Warrants, and prior to the exercise or conversion thereof, offer to the holders of its Common Stock any right to subscribe for additional shares of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the registered Holder of this Warrant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such subscription rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or record date be fixed with respect to such offer or subscription, and the right of the registered Holders hereof to participate in such offer or subscription shall terminate if this Warrant shall not be exercised or converted on or before the date of such closing of the books or such record date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer effective this 6th day of March, 2014.

SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS SECOND AMENDED
AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of August 31, 2016, is between Tower Automotive Operations
USA I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and James C. Gouin, an individual (the “Employee”).
(The Company and the Employee are each a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”.) This Agreement, which
shall be effective January 1, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement between the Parties dated as of October 27, 2014 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS, in anticipation
of the retirement of the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Tower International, Inc. (“Tower”) effective
December 31, 2016, the Board of Directors of Tower (the “Board”) elevated Employee to the position of President of
Tower effective September 1, 2016 in place of Employee’s previous position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer; and

 

WHEREAS, effective
January 1, 2017, Employee shall be Chief Executive Officer of Tower; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties
wish to establish the terms and conditions of the Employee’s employment as Chief Executive Officer of Tower effective January
1, 2017;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the
Parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Effectiveness.
This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to
the Effective Date, the terms of the Employee’s employment with the Company shall be governed by the Prior Employment Agreement,
which shall continue in full force and effect until the Effective Date. For avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Employee’s
employment with the Company terminates on or prior to the Effective Date, the terms and conditions of the Prior Employment Agreement
(and not this Agreement) shall be controlling.

 

2.             Term.
Subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5 below, this Agreement and the employment relationship hereunder shall continue
from the Effective Date until December 31, 2017 (the “Initial Term”). The term of employment shall on each January
1 thereafter be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive periods of one year, unless
either Party, at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any extended term, shall give written
notice to the other of its or his intention not to renew such employment term. As used in this Agreement, “Term” shall
refer to the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date on which the Employee’s employment terminates
in accordance with this Section 2 or Section 5. Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Agreement and the
employment relationship hereunder, the Company shall have no further obligations to the Employee under this Agreement or otherwise,
except as specifically set forth in Section 5.

3.2           Duties.
During the Term, the Employee shall have such authority and responsibilities and shall perform such executive duties as are customarily
performed by a chief executive officer of a company in similar lines of business as the Company and its Affiliates or as may be

however, that the Employee shall be required to travel as necessary to perform his duties hereunder.

twenty five percent (125%) of the Employee’s annualized Base Salary (as in effect as of the beginning of the applicable fiscal
year) (the “Annual Bonus”), subject to market evaluation and adjustment of such target amounts at the discretion of
the Committee. The precise amount of the Annual Bonus shall be based on work performance and achievement of targets as determined
by the Committee at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year. If such targets are fully achieved, the Employee shall be eligible

4.4           Participation
in Employee Benefit Plans. The Employee shall be entitled during the Term, if and to the extent eligible, to participate in
all of the applicable benefit plans (excluding severance plans, if any) of the Company, which may be available to other senior
executives of the Company. The Company may at any time or from time to time amend, modify, suspend or terminate any employee benefit
plan, program or arrangement for any reason without the Employee’s consent if such amendment, modification, suspension or
termination is consistent with the amendment, modification, suspension or termination for other executives of the Company.

 

4.5           Expense
Reimbursement.

 

(a)         During
the Term, the Employee shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for all appropriate business expenses incurred by him in connection

Employee’s right to have the Company pay or provide such reimbursements and in-kind benefits may not be liquidated or exchanged
for any other benefit; and (iv) in no event shall the Company’s obligation to make such reimbursements or to provide such

4.6           Accelerated
Vesting of Equity and LTI Awards. Notwithstanding anything in the 2010 Plan or any award agreement issued thereunder to the
contrary, all then outstanding awards granted to the Employee pursuant to the 2010 Plan, including equity-based awards, cash-based
performance awards and awards granted prior to the Effective Date (the “2010 Plan Awards”), shall immediately become
fully vested upon (i) the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined below) (assuming, in the case of each cash-based performance

the Company for Cause or by the Employee Without Good Reason. If: (i) the Company terminates the Employee’s employment
with the Company for Cause; or (ii) the Employee terminates his employment with the Company without Good Reason, provided that
the Employee shall be required to give the Company at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination (subject
to the Company’s right to accept Employee’s notice of termination and to accelerate such notice and make the Employee’s
termination effective immediately, or on any other date prior to the Employee’s intended last day of work as the Company
deems appropriate, which acceleration shall in no event be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause), then the Employee
shall be entitled to receive, and the Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement or otherwise shall be to pay or provide
to the Employee, the following (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”):

 

(a)          the
Employee’s earned, but unpaid, Base Salary through the effective date of termination (payable in accordance with Section
4.1 above) and any amounts or benefits (if any) that are vested amounts or vested benefits or that the Employee is otherwise entitled
to receive under the express provision of any plan, program, policy or practice on the effective date of termination (excluding,
without limitation, severance pay plans (if any) and any amounts or benefits that are forfeited in the event of a termination for
Cause, termination by the Employee without Good Reason or other termination in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan,
program, policy, or practice), which amounts and/or benefits shall be payable or provided in accordance with the terms of such
plan, program, policy or practice;

 

(b)          any
Annual Bonus (or portion thereof), if any, relating to the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the effective date of
the Employee’s termination occurs that was earned on the applicable Annual Bonus Approval Date, but unpaid, as of the date
of termination, which unpaid Annual Bonus (or portion thereof) shall be payable in accordance with Section 4.2; and

 

(c)          expenses
reimbursable under Section 4.5 incurred, but not yet reimbursed to the Employee, to the date of termination.

For the purposes of
this Agreement, “Cause” means, as determined by a majority of the Board, in the Board’s reasonable business judgment
acting in good faith and engaging in fair dealing with the Employee, with respect to conduct during the Employee’s employment
with the Company, whether or not committed during the Term: (i) commission of a felony by the Employee; (ii) acts of dishonesty
by the Employee resulting or intending to result in personal gain or enrichment at the expense of any member of the Company Group
or any of their respective Affiliates; (iii) the Employee’s appropriation (or attempted appropriation) of any business opportunity
of any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates, including, without limitation, attempting to secure or
securing any personal profit or benefit in connection with any transaction entered into by or on behalf of any member of the Company
Group or any of their respective Affiliates; (iv) the Employee’s material breach of any of his duties, representations, warranties,
covenants or other obligations under this Agreement; (v) conduct by the Employee in connection with his duties hereunder that is
fraudulent or grossly negligent or that the Employee knew or reasonably should have known to be unlawful, provided that any action
taken by the Employee on the advice of the Company’s General Counsel (or his/her designee) shall not be treated as unlawful
for purposes of this clause (v); (vi) engaging in personal conduct by the Employee (including, but not limited to, employee harassment
or discrimination, or the use or possession at work of any illegal controlled substance) which seriously discredits or damages
any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates; (vii) contravention of specific lawful direction of the
Board, failure to adhere to any applicable policy or procedure of the Company of which the Employee has knowledge or which has
been provided to the Employee in writing, or inattention to or failure to attempt, in good faith, to perform the material duties
to be performed by the Employee under the terms of this Agreement; or (viii) breach of the Employee’s covenants set forth
in Section 6 below before termination of employment; provided, that, with respect to clauses (iv) and (vii) only, the Employee
shall have thirty (30) days after notice from the Company, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail a description of the
deficiency determined by the Board to constitute Cause, to cure the deficiency leading to the Cause determination, if curable.
A termination for “Cause” shall be effective immediately (or on such other date set forth by the Company).

 

For the purposes of
this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s consent, (i) a material adverse reduction in the
Employee’s authority, responsibilities or duties as Chief Executive Officer of Tower; (ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s
Base Salary or target annual bonus opportunity; provided that, the Company may at any time or from time to time amend, modify,
suspend or terminate any bonus, incentive compensation or other benefit plan or program provided to the Employee for any reason
and without the Employee’s consent if such modification, suspension or termination (x) is a result of the underperformance
of the Employee or the Company under its business plan, or (y) is consistent with an “across the board” reduction for
all similar employees of the Company, and, in each case, is undertaken in the Board’s reasonable business judgment acting
in good faith and engaging in fair dealing with the Employee; or (iii) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement; provided
that a suspension of the Employee and the requirement that the Employee not report to work shall not constitute “Good Reason”
if the Employee continues to receive the compensation and benefits required by this Agreement. Employee understands and agrees
that the appointment of another individual as President of Tower shall not constitute Good Reason.

 

The Employee shall
be deemed to have consented to any act or event that would otherwise give rise to “Good Reason,” unless the Employee
provides written notice to the Company specifying the act or event within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such act
or event. The Company shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Employee specifying the act or event otherwise
constituting Good Reason to cure the act or event that otherwise would constitute Good Reason.

 

5.2           By
the Company Without Cause or Due to the Company’s Decision Not to Extend a Term or By the Employee for Good Reason or Due
to Death or Disability. If, during the Term, (i) the Company terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause (which
may be done at any time with or without prior notice) or elects not to extend a term per 2 above; (ii) the Employee terminates
his employment for Good Reason upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice and opportunity to cure; (iii) the Employee’s
employment terminates due to his death; or (iv) the Company terminates the Employee’s employment due to the Employee’s

Employee (or, in the event of the Employee’s death or incapacity, the Employee’s legal representative) shall be entitled
to receive, and the Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement or otherwise shall be to pay or provide:

to the Employee’s (or, in the event of the Employee’s death or incapacity, the Employee’s legal representative’s)
execution, delivery and non-revocation of a general release in a form satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”),
which Release, among other things, shall include a general release of the members of the Company Group, each of their respective
direct and indirect parent entities and direct and indirect subsidiaries, each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, managers, partners, plan administrators, and agents, as well
as the predecessors, past and future successors and assigns or estates of any of the foregoing, from all liability; provided, however,
that the Release shall preserve the Employee’s rights, if any: (i) to indemnification under the Company Group’s Bylaws

to the Accrued Benefits; (iii) under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”),

employment hereunder (including, without limitation, the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.2):

 

(i)            an
aggregate amount equal to:

 

(A)        two
(2) times the Employee’s annualized rate of Base Salary as of the effective date of termination (the “Base Severance
Amount”); plus

 

(B)          a
pro-rated bonus for the year of the Employee’s employment termination based on the actual bonus awards earned and paid for
the fiscal year of the Employee’s termination (the “Bonus Severance Amount”). The pro-rated amount will be based
on the number of days in the fiscal year up to and including the date of employment termination in relation to the total number
of days in the fiscal year; and

 

(ii)           if
the Employee (or, if eligible for continuation coverage under the terms of such plans and applicable law, the Employee’s
legal representatives) elects continuing group coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Company (on a taxable basis) shall waive (or reimburse
the Employee on a monthly basis for) the cost of such coverage to the extent that such cost exceeds the cost that the Company charges
active employees for similar coverage until the earlier of (x) the completion of the first twelve (12) months of COBRA coverage,
or (y) the date that the Employee (or the Employee’s legal representatives, if applicable) is covered under another group
health plan, subject to the terms of the plans and applicable law. The Company may modify its obligation to provide such benefit
to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any penalty or excise taxes imposed on it under the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act of 2010, as amended, provided that it does so in a manner that to the extent possible, as determined by the Company in
its discretion, preserves the economic benefit and original intent of such benefit but does not cause such a penalty or excise
tax.

 

For the purposes of
this Agreement, “Disability” means a determination by the Company in accordance with applicable law that, as a result
of a physical or mental injury or illness, the Employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his job (with or without
reasonable accommodation) for a period of (i) ninety (90) consecutive days, or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days in any twelve-month
period.

The Base Severance
Amount, less standard income and payroll tax withholdings and other authorized deductions, shall be payable in twelve (12) equal
monthly installments, commencing within seventy-five (75) days following the Employee’s date of termination, but in no event
later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Employee’s date of termination occurs; provided, however,
that payment of the Base Severance Amount shall not commence unless the statutory period during which the Employee is entitled
to revoke the Release has expired during the 75-day period following the Employee’s date of termination and provided further
that any payments provided hereunder shall be made in the second taxable year if the 75-day period begins in one taxable year of
the Employee and ends in the subsequent taxable year. Each installment of the Base Severance Amount shall be treated as a separate
payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

The Bonus Severance
Amount, less standard income and payroll tax withholdings and other authorized deductions, shall be payable in a single lump sum
between January 1 and March 15 of the year following the year in which the Employee’s date of termination occurs; provided,
however, that payment of the Bonus Severance Amount shall not be made unless the statutory period during which the Employee is
entitled to revoke the Release has expired.

 

The Company shall have
no obligation to provide the payments and benefits (other than Accrued Benefits) set forth above in the event that the Employee
breaches the provisions of Section 6.

 

5.3           By
the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason Following a Change in Control. If, within two (2) years following
the consummation of a Change in Control, (i) the Company terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause (which may be
done at any time with or without prior notice and, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a termination by the Company without Cause
that occurs simultaneous with or immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control); or (ii) the Employee terminates
his employment for Good Reason, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice and opportunity to cure; then, in lieu of any
amounts or benefits otherwise payable pursuant to Section 5.2, the Employee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any acceleration
of vesting of 2010 Plan Awards pursuant to Section 4.6, and the Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement or otherwise
shall be to pay or provide:

 

(a)         the
Accrued Benefits; and

 

(b)         subject
to the Employee’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of a Release, the terms of which are described in Section 5.2(b)
above:

 

(i)            an
aggregate amount equal to:

 

(A)         three
(3) times the Employee’s annualized rate of Base Salary as of the effective date of his employment termination (the “CIC
Base Severance Amount”); plus

 

(B)         three
(3) times the Employee’s target bonus for the year of employment termination, plus a pro-rated bonus for the year of the
Employee’s employment termination based on the actual bonus awards for the fiscal year of the Employee’s termination
(in the aggregate, the “CIC Bonus Severance Amount”). The pro-rated amount will be calculated based on the number of
days in the fiscal year up to and including the date of employment termination in relation to the total number of days in the fiscal
year; and

 

    -7- 

     

    

  

(ii)           if
the Employee (or, if eligible for continuation coverage under the terms of such plans and applicable law, the Employee’s
legal representatives) elects continuing group coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Company (on a taxable basis) shall waive (or reimburse
the Employee on a monthly basis for) the cost of such coverage to the extent that such cost exceeds the cost that the Company charges
active employees for similar coverage until the earlier of (x) the completion of the first eighteen (18) months of COBRA coverage,
or (y) the date that the Employee (or the Employee’s legal representatives, if applicable) is covered under another group
health plan, subject to the terms of the plans and applicable law. The Company may modify its obligation to provide such benefit
to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any penalty or excise taxes imposed on it under the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act of 2010, as amended, provided that it does so in a manner that to the extent possible, as determined by the Company in
its discretion, preserves the economic benefit and original intent of such benefit but does not cause such a penalty or excise
tax.

 

(c)          The
CIC Base Severance Amount, less standard income and payroll tax withholdings and other authorized deductions, shall be payable
in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments, commencing within seventy-five (75) days following the Employee’s date of
employment termination, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Employee’s date of
termination occurs; provided, however, that payment of the CIC Base Severance Amount shall not commence unless the statutory period
during which the Employee is entitled to revoke the Release has expired during the 75-day period following the Employee’s
termination and provided further that any payments provided hereunder shall be made in the second taxable year if the 75-day period
begins in one taxable year of the Employee and ends in the subsequent taxable year. Each installment of the CIC Base Severance
Amount shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

(d)          The
CIC Bonus Severance Amount, less standard income and payroll tax withholdings and other authorized deductions, shall be payable
in a single lump sum between January 1 and March 15 of the year following the year in which the Employee’s date of termination
occurs; provided, however, that payment of the CIC Bonus Severance Amount shall not be made unless the statutory period during
which the Employee is entitled to revoke the Release has expired.

 

(e)          If
the payment of any of the foregoing amounts or benefits under Section 5.3 (when added to any other payments or benefits provided
to the Employee in the nature of compensation under Code Section 280G(b)(2)) (the “Total Payments”) shall be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999, the aggregate Present Value of the Payments (defined below) under this Agreement
shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount, but only if reducing the Payments shall provide the Employee with
a Net After-Tax Benefit that is greater than if the reduction is not made. The reduction of amounts payable hereunder, if applicable,
shall be determined by the Accounting Firm (defined below) in an amount that has the least economic cost to the Employee and, to
the extent the economic cost is equivalent, then all Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced in the inverse order of when
the Payments, in the aggregate, would have been made to the Employee until the specified reduction is achieved. For purposes of
this Agreement, the following definitions apply:

 

“Net
After-Tax Benefit” means the Present Value of a Payment, net of all federal, state and local income, employment and excise
taxes, determined by applying the highest marginal rate(s) applicable to an individual for the Employee’s taxable year in
which Payment is made.

 

    -8- 

     

    

  

“Payment”
means any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2)) to or for the benefit
of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise.

 

“Present
Value” means the value determined in accordance with Code Section 280G.

 

“Reduced
Amount” means an amount expressed in Present Value that maximizes the aggregate Present Value of Payments without causing
any Payment to be subject to excise tax under Code Section 4999 or the corporate deduction limitation under Code Section 280G.

 

The Code Section 280G
calculations under this Agreement and the determination that Payments shall be reduced or not reduced based on the Net After-Tax
Benefit shall be made by a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting
Firm”), which shall provide its determination and any supporting calculations to the Company and the Employee within ten
(10) days after the Employee’s employment termination. The reasonable costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be
borne by the Company. The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. In making its
determination, the Accounting Firm shall take into account (if applicable) the value of the Employee’s non-competition covenant
set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, which value shall be determined by the independent appraisal of a nationally-recognized
business valuation firm selected by the Company, and a portion of the Payments shall, to the extent of the appraised value, be
specifically allocated as reasonable compensation for such non-competition covenant and shall not be treated as a parachute payment.
If the Accounting Firm’s determination is disputed by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company shall reimburse the Employee
for the cost of the Employee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees for counsel selected by the Company, and any tax penalties
(including excise tax) and interest ultimately incurred by the Employee upon resolution of the dispute. Reimbursement shall be
made in accordance with the Code Section 409A procedures set forth in Section 4.5(b) hereof.

 

The Company shall have
no obligation to provide the payments and benefits (other than Accrued Benefits) set forth above in the event that Employee breaches
the provisions of Section 6.

 

5.4           No
Mitigation; No Offset. The Employee shall be under no obligation to seek other employment after his termination of employment
with the Company and the obligations of the Company to the Employee which arise upon the termination of his employment pursuant
to this Section 5 shall not be subject to mitigation or offset.

 

5.5           Resignation
from any Boards and Position. If the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason under this Agreement, unless
otherwise agreed by the Parties, he shall be deemed to resign (i) if a member, from the Board or board of directors of any other
member of the Company Group or any other board to which he has been appointed or nominated by or on behalf of the Company or any
other member of the Company Group, and (ii) from any position with any member of the Company Group, including, but not limited
to, as an officer of any member of the Company Group; and the Employee agrees to take all further actions that are deemed reasonably
necessary by the Company to effectuate or evidence such resignations.

6.            Restrictions
and Obligations of the Employee.

 

6.1           Confidentiality.

 

(a)          During
the course of the Employee’s employment by the Company (prior to and during the Term) or otherwise, the Employee has had
and will have access to certain trade secrets and confidential information relating to the Company and its Affiliates, its and
their respective direct and indirect parent entities and direct and indirect subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates,
as well as their respective predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Protected Parties”) which is not
readily available from sources outside the Protected Parties. The confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets of
the Protected Parties are among their most valuable assets, including but not limited to, their customer, supplier and vendor lists,
databases, competitive strategies, computer programs, frameworks, or models, their marketing programs, their sales, financial,
marketing, training and technical information, their product development (and proprietary product data) and any other information,
whether communicated orally, electronically, in writing or in other tangible forms concerning how the Protected Parties create,
develop, acquire or maintain their products and marketing plans, target their potential customers and operate their retail and
other businesses. The Protected Parties invested, and continue to invest, considerable amounts of time and money in their process,
technology, know-how, obtaining and developing the goodwill of their customers, their other external relationships, their data
systems and data bases, and all the information described above (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Confidential Information”),
and any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information in any form would irreparably harm the Protected
Parties. The Employee acknowledges that such Confidential Information constitutes valuable, highly confidential, special and unique
property of the Protected Parties. The Employee shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Protected Parties all
Confidential Information relating to the Protected Parties and their businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Employee
during the Employee’s employment by the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise and which shall not be or become public knowledge
(other than by acts by the Employee or representatives of the Employee in violation of this Agreement). Except as required by law
or an order of a court or governmental agency with jurisdiction, the Employee shall not, during the period the Employee is employed
by the Company or its Affiliates or at any time thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to any
person or entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall the Employee use it in any way, except in the course of the Employee’s
employment with, and for the benefit of, the Protected Parties or to enforce any rights or defend any claims hereunder or under
any other agreement with any Protected Party to which the Employee is a party, provided that such disclosure is relevant to the
enforcement of such rights or defense of such claims and is only disclosed to the extent necessary in the formal proceedings related
thereto. The Employee shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard the Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure,
misuse, espionage, loss and theft. The Employee understands and agrees that the Employee shall acquire no rights to any such Confidential
Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not preclude
the Employee from disclosing Confidential Information to a governmental body or agency or to a court if and to the extent that
a restriction on such disclosure would limit the Employee from exercising any protected right afforded the Employee under applicable
law, including the ability to receive an award for information provided to a governmental body.

 

(b)         Employee
acknowledges receipt of the following notice under the Defend Trade Secrets Act: An individual will not be held criminally or civilly
liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret if he/she (i) makes such disclosure in
confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and such disclosure
is made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) such disclosure was made in
a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding if such filing is made under seal.

 

    -10- 

     

    

  

(c)         All
files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, data, computer programs, evaluation mechanisms and analytics and similar items
relating thereto or to the Business (for the purposes of this Agreement, “Business” shall be as defined in Section
6.3 hereof), as well as all customer lists, specific customer information, compilations of product research and marketing techniques
of the Protected Parties, whether prepared by the Employee or otherwise coming into the Employee’s possession, shall remain
the exclusive property of the Company or other Protected Parties, as applicable, and the Employee shall not remove any such items
from the premises of the Company or other Protected Parties, except in furtherance of the Employee’s duties under this Agreement.

 

(d)         It
is understood that while employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Employee will promptly disclose to the Company and
to no one else, any idea, invention, technique, modification, process, or improvement (whether patentable or not, any industrial
design (whether registrable or not), any mask work, however fixed or encoded, that is suitable to be fixed, embedded or programmed
in a product (whether recordable or not) and any work of authorship (whether or not copyright protection may be obtained for it)
created, conceived, or developed by the Employee or the Employee’s Affiliate (“Inventions”), either solely or
in conjunction with others, during Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, that relates in any way
to, or is useful in any manner to, the business then being conducted or proposed to be conducted by any member of the Company Group
or any of their respective Affiliates and any such item created by the Employee or the Employee’s Affiliate, either solely
or in conjunction with others, that is based upon or uses Confidential Information. Employee agrees that (i) each Invention belongs,
or shall belong, exclusively to the Company from conception, (ii) all of the Employee’s writings, works of authorship, specially
commissioned works, and other Inventions are works made for hire and are the exclusive property of the Company, including any copyrights,
patents, or other intellectual property rights pertaining thereto, and (iii) if it is determined that any such Inventions are not
works made for hire, the Employee hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company all of the Employee’s right, title and interest,
including rights of copyright, patent, and other intellectual property rights, to or in such Inventions. The Employee covenants
that the Employee shall promptly (i) provide a separate written irrevocable assignment to the Company, or to an individual or entity
designated by the Company, at the Company’s request and without additional compensation, all of the Employee’s right
to any Inventions in the United States and all foreign jurisdictions, (ii) at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver
to the Company such applications, assignments, and other documents as the Company may request in order to apply for and obtain
patents or other registrations with respect to any Invention in the United States and any foreign jurisdictions, (iii) at the Company’s
expense, execute and deliver all other papers deemed necessary by the Company to carry out the above obligations, and (iv) give
testimony and render any other assistance in support of the Company’s rights to any Invention (with the Company paying the
Employee a reasonable fee for the Employee’s time if the Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates
has ended at the time of such testimony or assistance). In the event that the Company is unable to secure the Employee’s
signature after reasonable effort in connection with any patent, trademark, copyright or other similar protection relation to an
Invention, the Employee irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its respective officers and agents as the Employee’s
agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on the Employee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such application and
to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, trademarks, copyrights or similar protection
thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Employee. At all times during and after the Employee’s
employment by the Company, the Employee shall assist the Company in obtaining, maintaining, and renewing patent, copyright, trademark
and other appropriate protection for any Invention, in the United States and in any foreign jurisdictions, at the Company’s
expense.

(e)         As
requested by the Company, from time to time and upon the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any
reason or no reason, the Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company all copies and embodiments, in whatever form, of all Confidential
Information in the Employee’s possession or within his control (including, but not limited to, memoranda, records, notes,
plans, photographs, manuals, notebooks, documentation, program listings, flow charts, magnetic media, disks, diskettes, tapes and
all other materials containing any Confidential Information) irrespective of the location or form of such material. If requested
by the Company, the Employee will provide the Company with written confirmation that all such materials have been delivered to
the Company as provided herein.

 

6.2           Non-Solicitation
or Hire. During the Term and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the termination of the Employee’s employment
for any reason or no reason (the “Non-Solicit Period”), the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or
attempt to solicit or induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, (a) any individual or entity who or which is a customer
of the Company or any of the other Protected Parties, or who or which was a customer of the Company or any of the other Protected
Parties at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the date of the Employee’s employment termination,
for the purpose of marketing, selling or providing to any such individual or entity any services or products offered by or available
from the Company or any of the other Protected Parties (provided that if the Employee intends to solicit any such party for any
other purpose, he shall notify the Company of such intention and receive prior written approval from the Company), (b) any supplier
to or customer or client of the Company or any of the other Protected Parties to terminate, reduce or alter negatively its relationship
with the Company or any of the other Protected Parties or in any manner interfere with any agreement or contract between the Company
and/or any of the other Protected Parties and such supplier, customer or client, or (c) any employee or agent of the Company or
any of the other Protected Parties or any individual or entity who or which was an employee or agent of the Company or any of the
other Protected Parties during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the date of the Employee’s employment termination,
to terminate such individual’s or entity’s employment relationship with, or engagement to perform services for, the
Protected Parties in order, in either case, to enter into a similar relationship with the Employee, or any other person or entity
in competition with the Business of the Company or any of the other Protected Parties. The Employee further agrees that, during
the Non-Solicit Period, he shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire or engage (or assist in the hiring or engaging of) any employee
or agent of the Company or any of the other Protected Parties or any individual or entity who or which was an employee or agent
of the Company or any of the other Protected Parties during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the date of the Employee’s
employment termination to enter into a similar relationship with the Employee or any other person or entity in competition with
the Business of the Company or any of the other Protected Parties, (ii) solicit, divert with the intention to take away, or attempt
to divert with the intention to take away, any investment opportunity considered by the Company or any other Protected Party, or
(iii) interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to interfere with or disrupt, or assist others to disrupt or interfere with, the relationship,
contractual or otherwise, between the Company or of the other Protected Parties and any of their respective customers, clients,
accounts, investors, suppliers, lessors, consultants, independent contractors, agents, or employees.

 

    -12- 

     

    

 

6.3           Non-Competition.
During the Term and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the termination of the Employee’s employment (for any
reason or no reason) (the “Non-Compete Period”), the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually,
as a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner, employee, consultant or agent of any business, or in any other capacity,
other than on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates, organize, establish, own, operate, manage, control, engage in, participate
in, invest in, permit his name to be used by, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with
any person, firm, corporation or business organization), or otherwise assist any person or entity that engages in or owns, invests
in, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise which engages or proposes to engage in (a) the sale, distribution,
manufacturing and/or design of structural metal components and assemblies for the automotive industry, or (b) any other business
conducted by the Company, any other member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates on the date of the Employee’s
termination of employment or within twenty-four (24) months after the Employee’s termination of employment in the geographic
locations where the Company, the other members of the Company Group and/or their respective Affiliates engage or propose to engage
in such business (the “Business”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Employee
from owning for passive investment purposes not intended to circumvent this Agreement, less than five percent (5%) of the publicly
traded common equity securities of any company engaged in the Business (so long as the Employee has no power to manage, operate,
advise, consult with or control the competing enterprise and no power, alone or in conjunction with other affiliated parties, to
select a director, manager, general partner, or similar governing official of the competing enterprise other than in connection
with the normal and customary voting powers afforded the Employee in connection with any permissible equity ownership).

 

6.4           Nondisparagement.
The Employee agrees that he shall not at any time (whether during or after the Term) publish or communicate to any person or entity
any Disparaging (as defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning the Company, any of the other Protected Parties or
any of their present or former respective members, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors
and assigns. “Disparaging” remarks, comments or statements are those that impugn the character, honesty, integrity
or morality or business acumen or abilities in connection with any aspect of the operation of business of the individual or entity
being disparaged. Nothing herein shall restrict or limit the Employee from exercising any protected right afforded under applicable
law, including reporting information to a governmental body in accordance with applicable law.

 

6.5           Property.
The Employee acknowledges that all originals and copies of materials, records and documents generated by him or coming into his
possession or control during his employment by the Company or its Affiliates are the sole property of the Company and/or the other
Protected Parties, as applicable (“Company Property”). During the Term, and at all times thereafter, the Employee shall
not remove, or cause to be removed, from the premises of the Company or any of the other Protected Parties, copies of any record,
file, memorandum, document, computer related information or equipment, or any other item relating to the business of the Company
or any of the other Protected Parties, except in furtherance of his duties under the Agreement. When the Employee’s employment
with the Company terminates, or upon request of the Company at any time, the Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company all
copies of Company Property in his possession or control.

 

6.6           Cooperation.
During the Term and thereafter, the Employee shall cooperate with the Company and its Affiliates in any internal investigation
or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding as reasonably requested by the Company (including, without limitation, the
Employee making himself available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing to
give testimony at the Company’s request 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 the Employee’s
possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with the Employee’s other permitted activities and
commitments). In the event that the Company requires the Employee’s cooperation in connection with this Section 6.6, the
Company shall pay the Employee a reasonable fee if the Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates has
ended at the time of such testimony or assistance, and the Company shall reimburse the Employee for reasonable expenses incurred
in connection herewith (including lodging and meals, upon acceptable substantiation, including receipts). Nothing herein shall
restrict or limit the Employee from exercising any protected right afforded under applicable law, including reporting information
to a governmental body in accordance with applicable law.

 

    -13- 

     

    

  

6.7           Remedies;
Specific Performance; Calculation of Time Period. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Employee’s breach or threatened
breach of any of the restrictions set forth in Section 6 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Protected Parties
for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and that the Protected Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including
specific performance and temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief (without being obligated to post a bond or other
collateral) and to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising, directly or indirectly, from such
violation, as remedies for any such breach or threatened or attempted breach. The Employee hereby consents to the grant of an injunction
(temporary or otherwise) against the Employee or the entry of any other court order against the Employee prohibiting and enjoining
him from violating, or directing him to comply with, any provision of Section 6. The Employee also agrees that such remedies shall
be in addition to any and all remedies, including damages, available to the Protected Parties against him for such breaches or
threatened or attempted breaches. In addition, without limiting the Protected Parties’ remedies for any breach of any restriction
on the Employee set forth in Section 6, except as required by law, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments set forth
in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof if the Employee has breached the covenants applicable to the Employee contained in Section 6, and
the Employee agrees to immediately return to the Company any such payments previously received under Sections 5.2 or 5.3 upon such
a breach. Further, in the event of such breach, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any of the amounts that remain payable
by the Company under Sections 5.2 and 5.3. The Employee also agrees that, without limiting the Protected Parties’ remedies
for any breach or threatened breach of his obligations under Section 6, the Employee shall be responsible for payment (in an amount
not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate) of the attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses of the Protected Parties,
as well as court or other forum costs, pertaining to any suit, arbitration, mediation, action or other proceeding (including the
costs of any investigation related thereto) arising directly or indirectly out of the Employee’s violation or threatened
violation of any of the provisions of Section 6. Further, without limiting the Protected Parties’ remedies for any breach
of any restriction on the Employee set forth in Section 6, the Employee agrees that if he breaches any of restrictions set forth
in Sections 6.2 or 6.3, the running of the time period of such provision(s) shall be extended from the end of the original Non-Solicit
Period or Non-Compete Period, as applicable, for the period of time the Employee was in breach of the provision(s).

except as expressly provided in Section 2, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect thereto.

 

7.3           Representations
and Warranties by the Employee. The Employee represents and warrants to the Company that: (a) he has the legal authority to
execute and perform this Agreement; (b) this Agreement is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against him according to its

legal restrictions or other agreements in favor of any entity or person which would in any way preclude, inhibit, impair or limit
the Employee’s ability to perform his obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, non-competition agreements,
non-solicitation agreements or confidentiality agreements. The Employee shall not disclose to the Company or to any of the other
Protected Parties, or induce the Company or any of the other Protected Parties to use, any proprietary, secret, or confidential

and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions
hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the Parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving compliance.
No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any waiver on the part of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

(a)          Any
and all actions or controversies arising out of this Agreement or the termination thereof, including, without limitation, tort

(b)          The
Parties agree irrevocably to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts or, if no federal jurisdiction exists,
the state courts, located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding
brought by any Party arising out of any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive, and agree not to assert
by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the
venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper, or that the provisions of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such
courts. IN ADDITION, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ACTIONS OR CONTROVERSIES
AND REPRESENT THAT SUCH PARTY HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THIS WAIVER.

 

7.6           Benefit
of Agreement; Delegation of Duties Prohibited. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, and legal representatives, including any entity with which the
Company may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred. This Agreement also shall
inure to the benefit of the Protected Parties, as well as their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any entity
with which any Protected Party may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its or their assets may be transferred.
The duties and covenants of the Employee under this Agreement, being personal, may not be assigned or delegated.

 

7.7           Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

 

7.8           Headings;
Construction. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect
the meaning of terms contained herein. All references to “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding
Section or Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All words used in this Agreement shall be construed to be of
such gender or number as the circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the work “including” does
not limit the preceding words or terms. Given the full and fair opportunity provided to each Party to consult with their respective
counsel with respect to the terms of this Agreement, ambiguities shall not be construed against either Party by virtue of such
Party having drafted the subject provision.

 

7.9           Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
of any foreign, federal, state, county or local government or any other governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or authority
to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against public policy for any reason, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected or impaired or invalidated.
The Employee acknowledges that the restrictive covenants contained in Section 6 are a condition of this Agreement and are reasonable
and valid in temporal scope and in all other respects.

 

7.10         Judicial
Modification. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants in Section 6, or any part of any
of them, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such covenants and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall
be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portion. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of such
covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such
court shall reduce such scope to the minimum extent necessary to make such covenants valid and enforceable.

7.11         Compliance
with Law. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Code Section 409A, the provision shall
be read in such a manner so that all payments under Sections 4 and 5 shall comply with Code Section 409A. For purposes of this
Agreement, the terms “employment termination,” “termination of employment” and terms of like meaning are
intended to constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1).
If necessary to comply with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) concerning payments to a “specified employee,” any payment on
account of the Employee’s separation from service that would otherwise be due hereunder within six (6) months after such
separation shall nonetheless be delayed until the first business day of the seventh month following the Employee’s separation
from service, or the Employee’s death, if earlier, at which time all delayed payments shall be aggregated and paid in a lump
sum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall be responsible for any taxes, interest and penalties imposed on the Employee
under or as a result of Code Section 409A in connection with the receipt of payments and benefits under this Agreement.

 

7.12         Tax
Withholding. The Employee authorizes the Company or other payor to withhold from any benefit provided or payment due hereunder,
the amount of withholding taxes due any federal, state or local authority in respect of such benefit or payment and to take such
other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.

 

7.13         Notice
of New Employment or Engagement. The Employee shall, during the Non-Compete Period and Non-Solicit Period, give written notice
to the Company, within ten (10) calendar days after accepting any employment or other engagement to perform services, of the identity
of the individual or entity by whom or which the Employee has been employed or engaged. The Company may notify such individual
or entity that the Employee is bound by this Agreement and, at the Company’s election, furnish such individual or entity
with a copy or summary of this Agreement (in whole or in part).

 

7.14         Indemnification.
The Company shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, to the extent permitted by the Company’s Bylaws (as amended from
time to time), against all liability, expense or loss (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and penalties) incurred by the
Employee by reason of the fact that the Employee is an officer of the Company acting within the scope of the Employee’s duties
and authorities.

 

7.15         Survival.
The provisions of Sections 5, 6, and 7 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the employment relationship
hereunder.

 

7.16         Recoupment.
The Company’s recoupment policies shall apply to all bonuses and awards, if any, payable to the Employee under this Agreement.
If the Company restates its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under
applicable securities laws, any payments pursuant to this Agreement for or in respect of the year that is restated, may be recovered
to the extent the payments made exceed the amount that would have been paid as a result of the restatement. Additionally, without
limitation of the foregoing, any amounts paid hereunder shall be subject to recoupment in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations or policies thereunder or as is otherwise required by applicable
law or stock exchange listing conditions. Without limitation of the foregoing, all bonuses and other incentives payable under this
Agreement will be forfeited by the Employee or recouped in their entirety by the Company if it is determined that (i) the Employee
engaged in, or knowingly permitted, intentional misconduct pertaining to any financial reporting requirement under the Federal
securities laws resulting in the Company being required to prepare and file an accounting restatement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as a result of such misconduct; or (ii) the Employee engaged in, or knowingly permitted, any fraud, theft, misappropriation,
embezzlement or dishonesty to the material detriment of the Company’s financial results as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. If triggered, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company may require the Employee to reimburse
the Company for, or surrender to the Company, all or a portion of any bonus or other incentive compensation under this Agreement
received in cash or shares of Common Stock within the last twelve (12) months, and remit to the Company any profits realized from
the sale of Common Stock within the last twelve (12) months.
