Exhibit 10.1

 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This EXECUTIVE
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of the 24 day of August 2022 by and
between WiSA Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its
principal offices in Beaverton, Oregon (hereinafter “WiSA” or
the “Company”), and Brett Moyer, an individual and
a resident of California (“Executive”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.           Executive is currently employed by WiSA, which employment is governed by an Employment Agreement executed August 6, 2002 and a
First Amendment to Employment Agreement entered into effective May 2, 2011 (together, the “Existing Agreement”).

 

B.            WiSA and Executive desire to enter into this employment agreement, the terms of which shall supersede in their entirety the Existing
Agreement, in order to secure the additional covenants of Executive as set forth herein and to provide the additional rights and benefits
to Executive in consideration of Executive’s obligations hereunder.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, each of which is incorporated by this reference as an essential term, the covenants,
conditions and other terms hereof, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
agree as follows.

 

1.             Employment and Term. WiSA shall employ Executive and Executive accepts full
time employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of WiSA on the terms and conditions set forth herein. As of the effective date
of this Agreement, Executive also serves as Chairman of WiSA’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

 

Executive’s employment under this Agreement
shall be for an unspecified term (the “Term”) on an “at will” basis. Nothing in Company’s policies,
actions or this Agreement shall be construed to alter the “at will” nature of Executive’s status with Company, and Executive
understands that Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or for no reason, provided that it is not
terminated in violation of state or federal law.

 

2.             Duties and Responsibilities. During the Term of this Agreement, Executive shall
devote substantially all of his time, energy and skills to the business of the Company. He shall perform his duties as the Board may require
from time to time. Executive shall be subject to the duly-issued instructions of the Board regardless of whether he supported each such
instruction in his capacity as a Board member. Executive shall work faithfully and to the best of his ability and efforts promoting the
business interests of WiSA. Executive will discharge his duties at all times in accordance with any and all policies of WiSA and will
report to, and be subject to the direction of, the WiSA Board of Directors. Executive shall be considered a key employee of the Company.

 

Executive shall not engage in any other business
duties or pursuit whatsoever, or directly or indirectly render any services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other
person or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Board except for (a) boards of
directors or private companies on which Executive currently serves and (b) other boards of directors to which Executive shall not devote
more than sixteen (16) hours of service per month. However, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time for education, charitable or
professional activities shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement if those activities do not materially interfere with the services
required under this Agreement. Furthermore, this Agreement shall not be interpreted to prohibit Executive from making passive personal
investments if those activities do not materially interfere with the services required under this Agreement and if those investments do
not create any conflict of interest with Executive’s duties to the Company; provided, however, that Executive may
invest in index funds without regard to conflicts of interest.

 

3.            Compensation. Executive’s base annual salary upon signing this Agreement
shall be $404,250. Executive’s performance shall be reviewed annually thereafter. Adjustments in salary may be made from time to
time in the sole discretion of the Board. Salary shall be paid in arrears in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices
and subject to applicable income and employment tax withholding and authorized deductions.

 

4.            Bonus Compensation. Executive will be eligible to participate in bonus arrangements
made available to the Company’s senior management from time to time by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
to be eligible for payment, Executive must be employed by the Company on the date any such bonus is paid.

 

    	 	1	 

     

    

 

5.             Executive Benefits.

 

(a)           Vacation. Executive shall receive a minimum of twenty (20) business days of
paid vacation and thereafter consistent with the Company’s vacation policy, during each year of this Agreement (pro rata). Unused
vacation will carry over from one year to the next but the maximum amount of vacation, which can accrue (unused) at any one time, shall
not exceed thirty (30) business days. Unused vacation will not be paid in the form of cash, except upon termination of employment.

 

(b)           Benefits. Executive shall be eligible to participate in any and all benefit
plans maintained by the Company, subject to the eligibility requirements and other terms of such plans and programs. The benefits offered
by the Company may be modified or changed at the discretion of the Company.

 

6.             Expenses. WiSA shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses
incurred by Executive pursuant to Company policies (as adopted from time to time); provided, however, that Executive complies
with any established policy and procedure for the reimbursement of such expenses, including, but not limited to, submitting an appropriate
expense report.

 

7.             Compliance with Laws and Policies. As a Company employee, Executive agrees that he must act in conformity with the law at
all times, without exception. Executive will abide by Company rules, regulations and policies as in effect from time to time, including,
but not limited to those uploaded to the “Corporate Governance” section of the Company’s website (https://ir.summitwireless.com/governance-docs).

 

8.             Consequences of Termination.

 

(a)           Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment is terminated by WiSA
for “Cause” (as defined below), then (i) WiSA shall pay the Executive his base salary, as described in Section 3 above, to
the date of termination and (ii) Executive shall not be entitled to any other salary, bonus compensation or benefits after the date of
termination, except the right to receive benefits that have become vested under any benefit plan or to which Executive is entitled as
a matter of law. For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive’s employment is terminated by WiSA for “Cause” then none of
the severance related benefits described in Section 8(c) shall be provided.

 

(b)           Resignation without Good Reason. Executive may resign without “Good Reason”
(as defined below) on thirty (30) days notice, which commences the “Resignation Notice Period”); provided, however,
that the Company may thereafter terminate Executive’s employment immediately or at any time during the Resignation Notice Period
provided that Executive receives all base salary, benefits and options vested through the remaining Resignation Notice Period. Executive
shall not otherwise be entitled to any other salary, bonus compensation or benefits after the date of termination, except the right to
receive benefits that have become vested under any benefit plan or to which Executive is entitled as a matter of law. For the avoidance
of doubt, if Executive resigns without “Good Reason,” then none of the severance related benefits described in Section 8(c)
shall be provided.

 

(c)           Resignation for Good Reason or Termination without Cause. The provisions of this Section 8(c) shall apply in the event Executive
is either terminated by Company without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason and provided Executive executes, delivers and does
not revoke the Company’s standard release of claims agreement within sixty (60) days of such termination of employment. If the sixty
(60)-day period referenced in the preceding sentence spans two taxable years, payment shall only commence in the second taxable year.

 

		(i)	The Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause upon ten (10) business days’ notice (which commences the
 “Termination Notice Period”) for any reason; provided, however, that the Company may terminate Executive’s employment
immediately or at any time during the Notice Period; provided, however, that it pay Executive an amount equal to any base
salary otherwise remaining in the Notice Period.

 

		(ii)	The Company will continue payment of Executive’s base salary (at the same rate existing immediately prior to his termination)
for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”) pursuant to the Company’s regular payroll practices
and subject to applicable income and employment tax withholding and authorized deductions.

 

		(iii)	Provided Executive is entitled to, elects to and remains eligible to continue group health, dental and vision coverage under the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), WiSA will continue during the Severance Period to
contribute toward the cost of such coverage as if Executive were an active employee unless doing so violates applicable law or is inconsistent
with the coverage arrangement.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

		(iv)	The Company shall pay Executive any bonus compensation otherwise due for the applicable year of termination prorated on a 365-day
basis to the date of termination of employment in the year following the year to which the bonus compensation relates; provided, however,
that such bonus shall be paid no earlier than January 1 nor later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination.

 

		(v)	Any and all unvested equity awards in Executive’s name shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable; provided,
however, that regardless of the terms of any equity award agreement between the Company and Executive, absent a separate signed
written agreement between Company and Executive that specifically references this provision of this Agreement, no exercise of an award
that requires exercise by the Executive shall occur more than six (6) months after such termination and in no event after the expiration
of such award.

 

		(vi)	In the event of Executive’s subsequent death, Company shall continue to pay and/or make available for the remainder of the Severance
Period the payments and benefits not yet paid or provided pursuant to this Section 8(c), with any amounts other than COBRA continuation
coverage payable to Executive’s estate.

 

(d)          Termination in the Event of Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment
terminates due to Executive’s death or if WiSA terminates Executive’s employment due to Executive’s “Disability”
(as defined below), Executive shall be treated as if terminated by the Company without Cause for purposes of this Section 8. Such payments
and benefits (other than COBRA continuation coverage) shall be made to Executive’s estate or legal representative.

 

(e)          Suspension of Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
Executive is in violation of any provision of Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13 below, WiSA shall have no obligation to make payment(s) under
Section 8(c) of this Agreement if WiSA has determined in good faith that such a violation(s) has occurred or is occurring. If it is later
established through arbitration or other judicial proceeding that no such violation occurred, WiSA shall agree to pay to Executive any
such amount withheld from or not paid during such period to the extent consistent with Section 409A (“Section 409A”)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

 

(f)           No Mitigation. Executive will be under no obligation to mitigate damages by
seeking other employment, and there will be no offset against the amounts due Executive under this Agreement, except as specifically provided
in Section 8(d) above or for any other claims that WiSA may have against Executive and to the extent consistent with Section 409A.

 

(g)          Survival of Provisions. The obligations of confidentiality and assignment of
inventions under Section 10 and the obligations of Confidential Information and assignment of inventions, non-solicitation and non-disparagement
under Sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

9.             Change in Control. If there is a “Change in Control” (as defined
below) of WiSA, any and all unvested equity awards in Executive’s name shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable; provided,
however, that regardless of the terms of any equity award agreement between the Company and Executive, absent a separate signed
written agreement between Company and Executive that specifically references this provision of this Agreement, no exercise of an award
that requires exercise by the Executive shall occur more than six (6) months after such termination and in no event after the expiration
of such award.

 

10.           Confidential Information and Assignment of Inventions.

 

(a)           Executive will not disclose to a third party or use for his personal benefit confidential information of WiSA. “Confidential
Information” means any information used or useful in WiSA’s business that is not generally known outside
of WiSA and that is proprietary to WiSA relating to any aspect of WiSA’s existing or reasonably foreseeable business that is disclosed
to Executive or conceived, discovered or developed by Executive. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: product designs
including drawings and sketches, manufacturing materials, plant layouts, tooling, sales marketing plans or proposals, customer information,
customer lists, raw material sources, manufacturing processes, price, financial, accounting and cost information, clinical data, administrative
techniques and documents and information designated by WiSA as “Confidential.” Executive shall also comply with the terms
of any Confidentiality Agreement by which WiSA is bound to a third party as well as the Company’s Confidential Information and Invention
Assignment Agreement.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(b)           Executive grants to WiSA the exclusive ownership of all reports, drawings, blueprints, data writings and technical information
made by Executive alone or with others during the term of his employment, whether or not made or prepared in the course of his employment,
that relate to apparatus, compositions of matter or methods pertaining to WiSA business. Executive acknowledges that all such reports,
drawings, blueprints, data writings and technical information are the property of WiSA.

 

(c)           Executive will promptly disclose to WiSA in writing all inventions and proprietary information that he alone or with others conceives,
generates or reduces to practice, during or after working hours, while an employee of WiSA and for six (6) months following Executive’s
termination of employment with respect to work performed by Executive for WiSA. All such inventions and proprietary information shall
be the exclusive property of WiSA and are assigned to WiSA. This Agreement shall not apply to any invention for which no equipment, supplies,
facility or trade secret information of WiSA was used, and that was developed entirely on Executive’s time, and (i) that does not
relate (1) directly to the business of WiSA or (2) to WiSA’ actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (ii) that
does not result from any work performed by Executive for WiSA.

 

(d)           At WiSA’s expense, Executive shall give WiSA all assistance it reasonably requires to perfect, protect and use its rights
to inventions and proprietary information. In particular, but without limitation, Executive will sign all documents, do all things and
supply all information that WiSA may deem necessary or desirable to (i) transfer or record the transfer of Executive’s entire right,
title and interest in inventions and proprietary information and (ii) enable WiSA to obtain patent, copyright or trademark protection
for inventions anywhere in the world. Executive understands that the provisions of this Section 10 do not apply to any invention that
qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit
A).

 

11.           Non-Competition. During the Term, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly,
either as an Executive, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder (except in a publicly held company), corporate officer, director
or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate in any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever
with the then current or anticipated business of WiSA.

 

12.           Non-Solicitation. During the Term of his employment with WiSA and any Severance
Period, and for a period of one (1) year after termination of such employment or end of any Severance Period, whichever is later, Executive
will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire or otherwise engage, on his own behalf or on behalf of another person or entity, the services
of any person who is an employee of WiSA. In no event will this non-solicitation provision expire in less than two (2) years from the
date of termination of employment.

 

13.           Non-Disparagement. During and after the termination or expiration of this Agreement,
Executive shall not make any negative or disparaging remarks or comments (either oral or written) about WiSA, its affiliated or related
companies or any of the foregoing entities directors, officers, employees, agents, services or products, and WiSA agrees not to make any
negative or disparaging remarks or comments (either oral or written) about Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties
is entitled accurately to describe their past relationship to potential employers, partners or affiliates of Executive or potential partners
or affiliates of WiSA.

 

14.           Protected Disclosures. Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable
under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is: (a) made in confidence to a federal, state or
local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating
a suspected violation of law; or (b) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under
seal. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of federal or state law or regulation to any
governmental agency or entity or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law
or regulation. Executive does not need the prior authorization of WiSA to make any such whistleblower reports or disclosures and
is not required to notify WiSA that he has made such whistleblower reports or disclosures. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement prohibits
or restricts Executive from making other reports protected by law, including filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or a similar agency enforcing federal, state or local laws, and it does not limit Executive’s
ability to communicate with any government agency, entity or organization, make disclosures or otherwise participate in any investigation
or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, entity or organization.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

15.           Arbitration.

 

(a)           To the maximum extent permitted by law, any controversy between WiSA and Executive involving the construction or application of
any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration by
a single arbitrator to be held in Santa Clara, California, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes
of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) then in effect. The arbitrator selected shall have the authority
to grant Executive or the Company or both all remedies otherwise available by law, including injunctions.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the AAA Rules, the arbitration shall provide (i) for written discovery and depositions
adequate to give the Parties access to documents and witnesses that are essential to the dispute and (ii) for a written decision by the
arbitrator that includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision is based. Consistent with applicable law, Executive
and the Company shall each bear his or its own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in conducting the arbitration and, except in such
disputes where Executive asserts a claim otherwise under a state or federal statute prohibiting discrimination in employment (a “Statutory
Discrimination Claim”), or where otherwise required by law, shall split equally the fees and administrative costs charged by
the arbitrator and AAA. In disputes where Executive asserts a Statutory Discrimination Claim against the Company, or where otherwise required
by law, Executive shall be required to pay only the AAA filing fee to the extent such filing fee does not exceed the fee to file a complaint
in state or federal court. The Company shall pay the balance of the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs.

 

(c)           The decision of the arbitrators will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. The prevailing party in
the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover his or its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs,
including the costs or fees charged by the arbitrator and AAA. In disputes where Executive asserts a Statutory Discrimination Claim, reasonable
attorneys’ fees shall be awarded by the arbitrator based on the same standard as such fees would be awarded if the Statutory Discrimination
Claim had been asserted in state or federal court. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.

 

16.          Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms will
have the meaning set forth below.

 

(a)           Cause. “Cause” means that Executive has: (i) committed an
act of dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust involving the business of WiSA; (ii) willfully failed to follow any material policy or material
instructions of the Board provided such are lawful and not a violation of public policy; (iii) been indicted for or convicted of any felony;
(iv) engaged in any gross misconduct, such as sexual harassment, material violations of applicable law or defalcations in the performance
of or in connection with the Executive’s duties or employment by WiSA (including Executive’s role on the Board); or (v) otherwise
breached material obligations under this Agreement.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(b)           Change in Control. “Change
in Control” means any of the following events: (i) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (a “Person”)
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the then-outstanding shares of Common
Stock plus any other outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors (the “Outstanding
Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the Company and any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
sponsored by it shall not be deemed to be a Person; or (ii) a change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who constitute
the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board within any 365-day
period (and for this purpose, any individual whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered a member
of the Incumbent Board); or (iii) the consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate
transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a sale or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the
Company or a material acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business
Combination”) if: (1) the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities
immediately prior to such Business Combination do not beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding
shares of stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the company resulting from such Business Combination;
or (2) a Person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the then-outstanding shares of stock of the company resulting
from such Business Combination; or (3) members of the Incumbent Board do not comprise at least a majority of the members of the board
of directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination; or (iv) the approval by the shareholders (or in the case of (iv)(1)
the Board) of the Company of: (1) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (2) any merger/consolidation/recap in which Company
not survivor; or (3) upon the Company’s insolvency, general assignment for the benefit of creditors or the commencement by or against
the Company of any action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of the Company’s
debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver other
similar official for the Company or for all or any substantial part of the Company’s assets.

 

(c)           Disability. “Disability” means
that Executive satisfies the conditions to be eligible for benefits under the disability plan maintained by WiSA, whether or not Executive
is then covered by such plan.

 

(d)           Good Reason. “Good Reason” means
WiSA, without Executive’s consent: (i) during the Term of his employment at WiSA, requires a material
change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform services; or (ii) a substantial change in Executive’s duties
and responsibilities; or (iii) at any time reduces Executive’s base compensation following a Change in Control; or (iv) at any time
otherwise materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that such termination by the
Executive shall only be deemed for Good Reason pursuant to the foregoing definition if: (1) the Executive gives WiSA written notice of
the intent to terminate for Good Reason within ninety (90) days following the first occurrence of the condition(s) that the Executive
believes constitutes Good Reason, which notice shall describe such condition(s); (2) WiSA fails to remedy such condition(s) within thirty
(30) days following receipt of the written notice (the “Cure Period”); and (3) the Executive terminates his employment
within six (6) months following the end of the Cure Period.

 

17.          Section 280G.

 

(a)          Subject
to Section 17(b), in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by WiSA to Executive or for Executive’s benefit
(whether paid or payable, distributed or distributable, including, without limitation, the acceleration of vesting of any equity or other
benefit or award, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 17 (each, a “Payment”)
would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect
to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, the “Excise Tax”), then Executive
shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount sufficient to pay the Excise
Tax on the Payment(s) plus any federal, state or local income taxes, employment taxes and any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 17(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 17, including whether and
when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determination,
shall be made by a certified public accounting firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (the “Accounting
Firm”), which shall be retained to provide detailed supporting calculations both to WiSA and Executive. If the Accounting Firm
is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in control, the Company shall have the right
to appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then
be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid solely by the Company. Any
Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 17, shall be paid by the Company to Executive within five (5) days of the receipt
of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive.
As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting
Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made will not have been made by the Company (an “Underpayment”),
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. If the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 17(c) and Executive
thereafter is required to pay an Excise Tax in an amount that exceeds the Gross-Up Payment received by Executive, the Accounting Firm
shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or
for Executive’s benefit.

 

(c)           Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would result in
an Underpayment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after Executive is informed
in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid or appealed. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period following the date on which
it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is
due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive
shall:

 

		(i)	give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim;

 

		(ii)	take such action in connection with contesting such claims as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

 

		(iii)	cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim, and

 

		(iv)	permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

 

provided, however, that the Company shall
bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and
shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties
with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing
provisions of this Section 17(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option,
may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or to contest the claim in
any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court
of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if
the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive,
and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties
with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further
provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for Executive’s taxable year with respect
to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control
of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, and Executive shall be entitled to settle
or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(d)           If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to this Section 17, Executive becomes entitled
to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with
any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto).

 

18.           Section 409A. It is the intention of the parties that no payment or entitlement pursuant to this Agreement will give rise
to any adverse tax consequences to any person pursuant to Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted, applied and, to the minimum
extent necessary, amended to achieve that intention. It is further intended that payments hereunder satisfy, to the greatest extent possible,
the exemption from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a “short-term deferral”).
To the extent (i) any payments or benefits to which Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or under any agreement or plan referenced
herein, in connection with his termination of employment with WiSA constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and (ii) Executive
is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then such payments
shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (1) the date that is immediately following the expiration of the six (6)-month period
measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is at the time defined in Treasury Regulations
under Section 409A) from WiSA or (2) the date of Executive’s death following such separation from service. Upon the expiration of
the applicable deferral period, any payments that would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments)
in the absence of this provision shall be paid to Executive or his beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest).

 

Each installment of any payments provided hereunder
shall constitute separate “payments” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement is determined
to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of any such reimbursement or benefit in one calendar year shall not affect any reimbursement
or benefit in any other taxable year, in no event shall any such reimbursement or benefit be provided after the last day of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which Executive incurred such expense and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision
of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
any tax gross-up payment (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v)) provided for in this Agreement shall be
made to Executive no later than the end of Executive’s taxable year next following his taxable year in which he remits the related
taxes.

 

19.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and any other agreement specifically referenced
herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes, merges and voids all
previous agreements, representations and warranties, written or oral, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. All other
prior employment-related agreement(s) between Executive and WiSA are hereby terminated and of no further force or effect. Except as otherwise
provided herein to Executive’s benefit, this Agreement shall not amend, modify, supersede or otherwise affect the terms of any equity
award agreement(s), stock sale or sale restriction agreement(s) and any confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition and inventions
agreement(s) to which Executive is a party with WiSA.

 

(b)          No Oral Modifications. This Agreement may only be modified in a writing signed
by the Executive and an officer of WiSA expressly authorized by WiSA to modify this Agreement.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

(c)           Personal Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of WiSA. This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive, his heirs and personal and legal representative. This Agreement may not be assigned
by Executive.

 

(d)           No Waiver. No failure by either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise of any right or remedy. The covenants and agreements set forth herein may be waived only by a written instrument
executed by the party waiving compliance. Any such waiver shall only be effective in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which it was given and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of the same breach or default upon any recurrence
thereof.

 

(e)           Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur
in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, other than the payment of money for the Executive’s’ Term of employment,
were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached or threatened to be breached. In the event of any
breach or threatened breach, Executive acknowledges that damages will be insufficient remedy to WiSA in the event of a violation of Section
10, 11, 12 and/or 13 of this Agreement, and in the event of such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, WiSA shall be entitled
to seek injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting bond, through a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions
of such Sections in addition to any other rights or remedies available to WiSA.

 

(f)            Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns and any such successor or assignee shall be deemed substituted for the Company under
the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. As used herein, “successor” and “assignee” shall include any person,
firm, corporation or other business entity that at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires
the Company or to which the Company assigns the Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

 

(g)           Survival. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon termination
or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, the covenants and obligations set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8 (including the applicability
thereto of Sections 3 and 4), 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or Executive’s
employment hereunder until such covenants and agreements are fully satisfied and require no further performance or forbearance, or the
rights of a party expire on the specific date by the terms hereof.

 

(h)           Adjustment of Restrictions. If any provision of Sections 10, 11, 12 and/or
13 of this Agreement is found by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable under applicable law because one or more provisions are over
broad or otherwise not enforceable in the form as set forth herein, then the court or arbitrator shall have the power to revise the terms
of this Agreement to the extent necessary to make the provisions hereof enforceable.

 

(i)            Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction that would cause this Agreement to be governed
by the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California.

 

(j)            Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two
(2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
The counterparts of this Agreement and any schedules and exhibits hereto, if any, may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature
by any of the parties to any other party and the receiving party may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered by
facsimile as if the original had been received.

(k)           Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by both parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of

EXHIBIT A

 

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870(a)

 

(a)          Any
provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an
invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using
the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

 

(1)           Relate
at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development of the employer; or

 

(2)           Result
from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

 

(b)          To
the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being
required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This EXECUTIVE
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of the 24th day of August 2022 by and
between WiSA Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its
principal offices in Beaverton, Oregon (hereinafter “WiSA” or
the “Company”), and George Oliva, an individual and
a resident of California (“Executive”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.            Executive
is currently employed by WiSA, which employment is governed by a letter agreement dated October 4, 2019 (the “Existing Agreement”).

 

B.            WiSA
and Executive desire to enter into this employment agreement, the terms of which shall supersede in their entirety the Existing Agreement,
in order to secure the additional covenants of Executive as set forth herein and to provide the additional rights and benefits to Executive
in consideration of Executive’s obligations hereunder.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, each of which is incorporated by this reference as
an essential term, the covenants, conditions and other terms hereof, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, agree as follows.

 

1.            Employment
and Term. WiSA shall employ Executive and Executive accepts full time employment as Chief Financial Officer of WiSA and as
Secretary of WiSA on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

Executive’s employment under this Agreement
shall be for an unspecified term (the “Term”) on an “at will” basis. Nothing in Company’s policies,
actions or this Agreement shall be construed to alter the “at will” nature of Executive’s status with Company, and Executive
understands that Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or for no reason, provided that it is not
terminated in violation of state or federal law.

 

2.            Duties
and Responsibilities. During the Term of this Agreement, Executive shall devote substantially all of his time, energy and skills
to overseeing the Company’s accounting, finance, human resources and financial control departments and such other duties as the
Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may require from time to time. Executive
shall work faithfully and to the best of his ability and efforts promoting the business interests of WiSA. Executive will discharge his
duties at all times in accordance with any and all policies of WiSA and will report to, and be subject to the direction of, the Chief
Executive Officer of WiSA, except that it is understood Executive shall also work independently with the Board of Directors as required
by the Board. Executive shall be considered a key employee of the Company.

 

3.            Compensation.
Executive’s base annual salary upon signing this Agreement shall be $288,750. Executive’s performance shall be reviewed annually
thereafter. Adjustments in salary may be made from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board. Salary shall be paid in arrears in
accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices and subject to applicable income and employment tax withholding and authorized
deductions.

 

4.            Bonus
Compensation. Executive will be eligible to participate in bonus arrangements made available to the Company’s
senior management from time to time by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to be eligible for payment, Executive
must be employed by the Company on the date any such bonus is paid.

 

    	 	1	 

     

    

 

5.            Executive
Benefits.

 

(a)            Vacation.
Executive shall receive a minimum of fifteen (15) business days of paid vacation and thereafter consistent with the Company’s vacation
policy, during each year of this Agreement (pro rata). Unused vacation will carry over from one year to the next but the maximum amount
of vacation, which can accrue (unused) at any one time, shall not exceed thirty (30) business days. Unused vacation will not be paid in
the form of cash, except upon termination of employment.

 

(b)            Benefits.
Executive shall be eligible to participate in any and all benefit plans maintained by the Company, subject to the eligibility requirements
and other terms of such plans and programs. The benefits offered by the Company may be modified or changed at the discretion of the Company.

 

6.            Expenses.
WiSA shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive pursuant to Company policies (as adopted from
time to time); provided, however, that Executive complies with any established policy and procedure for the reimbursement
of such expenses, including, but not limited to, submitting an appropriate expense report.

 

7.            Compliance
with Laws and Policies. As a Company employee, Executive agrees that he must act in conformity with the law at all times, without
exception. Executive will abide by Company rules, regulations and policies as in effect from time to time, including, but not limited
to those uploaded to the “Corporate Governance” section of the Company’s website (https://ir.summitwireless.com/governance-docs).

 

8.            Consequences
of Termination.

 

(a)            Termination
for Cause or Resignation without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by WiSA for “Cause”
(as defined below) or Executive resigns without “Good Reason” (as defined below), then (i) WiSA shall pay the Executive
his base salary, as described in Section 3 above, to the date of termination and (ii) Executive shall not be entitled to any
other salary, bonus compensation or benefits after the date of termination, except the right to receive benefits that have become vested
under any benefit plan or to which Executive is entitled as a matter of law. For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive’s employment
is terminated by WiSA for “Cause” or Executive resigns without “Good Reason,” then none of the severance related
benefits described in Section 8(b) shall be provided.

 

(b)            Resignation
for Good Reason or Termination without Cause. The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall apply in the event Executive is
either terminated by Company without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason and provided Executive executes, delivers and does not
revoke the Company’s standard release of claims agreement within sixty (60) days of such termination of employment. If the sixty
(60)-day period referenced in the preceding sentence spans two taxable years, payment shall only commence in the second taxable year.

 

		(i)	The Company will continue payment of Executive’s base salary (at the same rate existing immediately prior to his termination)
for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”) pursuant to the Company’s regular payroll practices
and subject to applicable income and employment tax withholding and authorized deductions.

 

		(ii)	Provided Executive is entitled to, elects to and remains eligible to continue group health, dental and vision coverage under the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), WiSA will continue during the Severance Period to
contribute toward the cost of such coverage as if Executive were an active employee unless doing so violates applicable law or is inconsistent
with the coverage arrangement.

 

		(iii)	The Company shall pay Executive any bonus compensation otherwise due for the applicable year of termination prorated on a 365-day
basis to the date of termination of employment in the year following the year to which the bonus compensation relates; provided, however,
that such bonus shall be paid no earlier than January 1 nor later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

		(iv)	Any and all unvested equity awards in Executive’s name shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable; provided,
however, that regardless of the terms of any equity award agreement between the Company and Executive, absent a separate signed
written agreement between Company and Executive that specifically references this provision of this Agreement, no exercise of an award
that requires exercise by the Executive shall occur more than six (6) months after such termination and in no event after the expiration
of such award.

 

		(v)	In the event of Executive’s subsequent death, Company shall continue to pay and/or make available for the remainder of the Severance
Period the payments and benefits not yet paid or provided pursuant to this Section 8(b), with any amounts other than COBRA continuation
coverage payable to Executive’s estate.

 

(c)            Termination
in the Event of Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment terminates due to Executive’s death or if WiSA terminates
Executive’s employment due to Executive’s “Disability” (as defined below), Executive shall be treated as if terminated
by the Company without Cause for purposes of this Section 8. Such payments and benefits (other than COBRA continuation coverage)
shall be made to Executive’s estate or legal representative.

 

(d)            Suspension
of Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive is in violation of any provision of Sections 10,
11, 12 or 13 below, WiSA shall have no obligation to make payment(s) under Section 8(b) of this Agreement if WiSA has determined
in good faith that such a violation(s) has occurred or is occurring. If it is later established through arbitration or other judicial
proceeding that no such violation occurred, WiSA shall agree to pay to Executive any such amount withheld from or not paid during such
period to the extent consistent with Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

 

(e)            No
Mitigation. Executive will be under no obligation to mitigate damages by seeking other employment, and there will be no offset
against the amounts due Executive under this Agreement, except as specifically provided in Section 8(d) above or for any other
claims that WiSA may have against Executive and to the extent consistent with Section 409A.

 

(f)            Survival
of Provisions. The obligations of confidentiality and assignment of inventions under Section 10 and the obligations of
Confidential Information and assignment of inventions, non-solicitation and non-disparagement under Sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 hereof
shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

9.            Change
in Control. If there is a “Change in Control” (as defined below) of WiSA, any and all unvested equity awards in
Executive’s name shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable; provided, however, that regardless of the
terms of any equity award agreement between the Company and Executive, absent a separate signed written agreement between Company and
Executive that specifically references this provision of this Agreement, no exercise of an award that requires exercise by the Executive
shall occur more than six (6) months after such termination and in no event after the expiration of such award.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

10.            Confidential
Information and Assignment of Inventions.

 

(a)            Executive
will not disclose to a third party or use for his personal benefit confidential information of WiSA. “Confidential
Information” means any information used or useful in WiSA’s business that is not generally known outside
of WiSA and that is proprietary to WiSA relating to any aspect of WiSA’s existing or reasonably foreseeable business that is disclosed
to Executive or conceived, discovered or developed by Executive. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: product designs
including drawings and sketches, manufacturing materials, plant layouts, tooling, sales marketing plans or proposals, customer information,
customer lists, raw material sources, manufacturing processes, price, financial, accounting and cost information, clinical data, administrative
techniques and documents and information designated by WiSA as “Confidential.” Executive shall also comply with the terms
of any Confidentiality Agreement by which WiSA is bound to a third party as well as the Company’s Confidential Information and Invention
Assignment Agreement.

 

(b)            Executive
grants to WiSA the exclusive ownership of all reports, drawings, blueprints, data writings and technical information made by Executive
alone or with others during the term of his employment, whether or not made or prepared in the course of his employment, that relate to
apparatus, compositions of matter or methods pertaining to WiSA business. Executive acknowledges that all such reports, drawings, blueprints,
data writings and technical information are the property of WiSA.

 

(c)            Executive
will promptly disclose to WiSA in writing all inventions and proprietary information that he alone or with others conceives, generates
or reduces to practice, during or after working hours, while an employee of WiSA and for six (6) months following Executive’s
termination of employment with respect to work performed by Executive for WiSA. All such inventions and proprietary information shall
be the exclusive property of WiSA and are assigned to WiSA. This Agreement shall not apply to any invention for which no equipment, supplies,
facility or trade secret information of WiSA was used, and that was developed entirely on Executive’s time, and (i) that does
not relate (1) directly to the business of WiSA or (2) to WiSA’ actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development
or (ii) that does not result from any work performed by Executive for WiSA.

 

(d)            At
WiSA’s expense, Executive shall give WiSA all assistance it reasonably requires to perfect, protect and use its rights to inventions
and proprietary information. In particular, but without limitation, Executive will sign all documents, do all things and supply all information
that WiSA may deem necessary or desirable to (i) transfer or record the transfer of Executive’s entire right, title and interest
in inventions and proprietary information and (ii) enable WiSA to obtain patent, copyright or trademark protection for inventions
anywhere in the world. Executive understands that the provisions of this Section 10 do not apply to any invention that qualifies
fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit A).

 

11.            Non-Competition.
During the Term, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either as an Executive, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder
(except in a publicly held company), corporate officer, director or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate
in any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the then current or anticipated business of WiSA.

 

12.            Non-Solicitation.
During the Term of his employment with WiSA and any Severance Period, and for a period of one (1) year after termination of such
employment or end of any Severance Period, whichever is later, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire or otherwise
engage, on his own behalf or on behalf of another person or entity, the services of any person who is an employee of WiSA.

 

13.            Non-Disparagement.
During and after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Executive shall not make any negative or disparaging remarks or comments
(either oral or written) about WiSA, its affiliated or related companies or any of the foregoing entities directors, officers, employees,
agents, services or products, and WiSA agrees not to make any negative or disparaging remarks or comments (either oral or written) about
Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties is entitled accurately to describe their past relationship to potential
employers, partners or affiliates of Executive or potential partners or affiliates of WiSA.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

14.            Protected
Disclosures. Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal
or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is: (a) made in confidence to a federal, state or local government
official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation
of law; or (b) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing
in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of federal or state law or regulation to any governmental
agency or entity or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation. Executive
does not need the prior authorization of WiSA to make any such whistleblower reports or disclosures and is not required to notify WiSA
that he has made such whistleblower reports or disclosures. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Executive from
making other reports protected by law, including filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National
Labor Relations Board or a similar agency enforcing federal, state or local laws, and it does not limit Executive’s ability to communicate
with any government agency, entity or organization, make disclosures or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that
may be conducted by any government agency, entity or organization.

 

15.            Arbitration.

 

(a)            To
the maximum extent permitted by law, any controversy between WiSA and Executive involving the construction or application of any of the
terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration by a single
arbitrator to be held in Santa Clara, California, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes
of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) then in effect. The arbitrator selected shall have the authority
to grant Executive or the Company or both all remedies otherwise available by law, including injunctions.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the AAA Rules, the arbitration shall provide (i) for written discovery and depositions adequate to give
the Parties access to documents and witnesses that are essential to the dispute and (ii) for a written decision by the arbitrator
that includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision is based. Consistent with applicable law, Executive and the
Company shall each bear his or its own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in conducting the arbitration and, except in such disputes
where Executive asserts a claim otherwise under a state or federal statute prohibiting discrimination in employment (a “Statutory
Discrimination Claim”), or where otherwise required by law, shall split equally the fees and administrative costs charged by
the arbitrator and AAA. In disputes where Executive asserts a Statutory Discrimination Claim against the Company, or where otherwise required
by law, Executive shall be required to pay only the AAA filing fee to the extent such filing fee does not exceed the fee to file a complaint
in state or federal court. The Company shall pay the balance of the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs.

 

(c)            The
decision of the arbitrators will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. The prevailing party in the arbitration,
as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover his or its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including the costs
or fees charged by the arbitrator and AAA. In disputes where Executive asserts a Statutory Discrimination Claim, reasonable attorneys’
fees shall be awarded by the arbitrator based on the same standard as such fees would be awarded if the Statutory Discrimination Claim
had been asserted in state or federal court. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.

 

16.            Certain
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms will have the meaning set forth below.

 

(a)            Cause.
 “Cause” means that Executive has: (i) committed an act of dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust involving the business
of WiSA; (ii) willfully failed to follow any material policy or material instructions of WiSA, his or her supervisor or its Chief
Executive Officer provided such are lawful and not a violation of public policy; (iii) been indicted for or convicted of any felony;
(iv) engaged in any gross misconduct, such as sexual harassment, material violations of applicable law or defalcations in the performance
of or in connection with the Executive’s duties or employment by WiSA; or (v) otherwise breached material obligations under
this Agreement.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(b)            Change
in Control. “Change in Control” means any of the following events:
(i) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (a “Person”) within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning
of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock plus any other outstanding
shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”);
provided, however, that the Company and any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored by it shall not be deemed
to be a Person; or (ii) a change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who constitute the Board (the “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board within any 365-day period (and for this purpose,
any individual whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3rds) of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board); or (iii) the
consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or a sale or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company or a material acquisition
of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”) if:
(1) the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to
such Business Combination do not beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of stock and the
combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the company resulting from such Business Combination; or (2) a
Person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the then-outstanding shares of stock of the company resulting from such
Business Combination; or (3) members of the Incumbent Board do not comprise at least a majority of the members of the board of directors
of the company resulting from such Business Combination; or (iv) the approval by the shareholders (or in the case of (iv)(1) the
Board) of the Company of: (1) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (2) any merger/consolidation/recap in which
Company not survivor; or (3) upon the Company’s insolvency, general assignment for the benefit of creditors or the commencement
by or against the Company of any action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of the
Company’s debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment
of a receiver other similar official for the Company or for all or any substantial part of the Company’s assets.

 

(c)            Disability. “Disability” means
that Executive satisfies the conditions to be eligible for benefits under the disability plan maintained by WiSA, whether or not Executive
is then covered by such plan.

 

(d)            Good
Reason. “Good Reason” means WiSA, without Executive’s
consent: (i) during the Term of his employment at WiSA, requires a material change in the geographic
location at which Executive must perform services; or (ii) a substantial change in Executive’s duties and responsibilities;
or (iii) at any time reduces Executive’s base compensation following a Change in Control; or (iv) at any time otherwise
materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that such termination by the Executive
shall only be deemed for Good Reason pursuant to the foregoing definition if: (1) the Executive gives WiSA written notice of the
intent to terminate for Good Reason within ninety (90) days following the first occurrence of the condition(s) that the Executive
believes constitutes Good Reason, which notice shall describe such condition(s); (2) WiSA fails to remedy such condition(s) within
thirty (30) days following receipt of the written notice (the “Cure Period”); and (3) the Executive terminates
his employment within six (6) months following the end of the Cure Period.

 

17.            Section 280G.

 

(a)            Subject
to Section 17(b), in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by WiSA to Executive or for Executive’s
benefit (whether paid or payable, distributed or distributable, including, without limitation, the acceleration of vesting of any equity
or other benefit or award, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 17 (each, a “Payment”)
would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, the “Excise Tax”), then
Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount sufficient to pay
the Excise Tax on the Payment(s) plus any federal, state or local income taxes, employment taxes and any Excise Tax imposed upon
the Gross-Up Payment.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(b)            Subject
to the provisions of Section 17(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 17, including whether and when
a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determination,
shall be made by a certified public accounting firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (the “Accounting
Firm”), which shall be retained to provide detailed supporting calculations both to WiSA and Executive. If the Accounting Firm
is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in control, the Company shall have the right
to appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then
be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid solely by the Company. Any
Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 17, shall be paid by the Company to Executive within five (5) days
of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company
and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination
by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made will not have been made by the Company
(an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. If the Company exhausts its remedies
pursuant to Section 17(c) and Executive thereafter is required to pay an Excise Tax in an amount that exceeds the Gross-Up Payment
received by Executive, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment
shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for Executive’s benefit.

 

(c)            Executive
shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would result in an Underpayment.
Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after Executive is informed in writing
of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid or appealed.
Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period following the date on which it gives such notice
to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company
notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall:

 

		(i)	give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim;

 

		(ii)	take such action in connection with contesting such claims as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

 

		(iii)	cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim, and

 

		(iv)	permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

 

provided,
however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred
in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax
(including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.
Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 17(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection
with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences
with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue
for a refund or to contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before
any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided,
however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of
such payment to Executive, and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to
such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for Executive’s
taxable year with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore,
the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, and Executive
shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(d)            If,
after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to this Section 17, Executive becomes entitled to receive
any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest
paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto).

 

18.            Section 409A.
It is the intention of the parties that no payment or entitlement pursuant to this Agreement will give rise to any adverse tax consequences
to any person pursuant to Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted, applied and, to the minimum extent necessary, amended
to achieve that intention. It is further intended that payments hereunder satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from
the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a “short-term deferral”).
To the extent (i) any payments or benefits to which Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or under any agreement or plan
referenced herein, in connection with his termination of employment with WiSA constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A
and (ii) Executive is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A,
then such payments shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (1) the date that is immediately following the expiration of
the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is at the time
defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 409A) from WiSA or (2) the date of Executive’s death following such separation
from service. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments that would have otherwise been made during that period
(whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this provision shall be paid to Executive or his beneficiary in one lump
sum (without interest).

 

Each installment of any payments provided hereunder
shall constitute separate “payments” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement is determined
to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of any such reimbursement or benefit in one calendar year shall not affect any reimbursement
or benefit in any other taxable year, in no event shall any such reimbursement or benefit be provided after the last day of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which Executive incurred such expense and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision
of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
any tax gross-up payment (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v)) provided for in this Agreement shall
be made to Executive no later than the end of Executive’s taxable year next following his taxable year in which he remits the related
taxes.

 

19.            Miscellaneous.

 

(a)            Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, and any other agreement specifically referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes, merges and voids all previous agreements, representations and warranties,
written or oral, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. All other prior employment-related agreement(s) between
Executive and WiSA are hereby terminated and of no further force or effect. Except as otherwise provided herein to Executive’s benefit,
this Agreement shall not amend, modify, supersede or otherwise affect the terms of any equity award agreement(s), stock sale or sale restriction
agreement(s) and any confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition and inventions agreement(s) to which Executive is a party
with WiSA.

 

(b)            No
Oral Modifications. This Agreement may only be modified in a writing signed by the Executive and an officer of WiSA expressly
authorized by WiSA to modify this Agreement.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

(c)            Personal
Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of WiSA. This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive,
his heirs and personal and legal representative. This Agreement may not be assigned by Executive.

 

(d)            No
Waiver. No failure by either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate
as a waiver; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of any right or remedy.
The covenants and agreements set forth herein may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party waiving compliance. Any
such waiver shall only be effective in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given and shall not be deemed
a waiver of any other provision hereof or of the same breach or default upon any recurrence thereof.

 

(e)            Specific
Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement,
other than the payment of money for the Executive’s’ Term of employment, were not performed in accordance with their specific
terms or are otherwise breached or threatened to be breached. In the event of any breach or threatened breach, Executive acknowledges
that damages will be insufficient remedy to WiSA in the event of a violation of Section 10, 11, 12 and/or 13 of this Agreement, and
in the event of such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, WiSA shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, without the necessity
of posting bond, through a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of such Sections in addition to any other rights
or remedies available to WiSA.

 

(f)            Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns and any
such successor or assignee shall be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. As used herein,
 “successor” and “assignee” shall include any person, firm, corporation or other business entity that at any time,
whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires the Company or to which the Company assigns the Agreement by
operation of law or otherwise.

 

(g)            Survival.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, the covenants
and obligations set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8 (including the applicability thereto of Sections 3 and 4), 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
and 18 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or Executive’s employment hereunder until such covenants and agreements are
fully satisfied and require no further performance or forbearance, or the rights of a party expire on the specific date by the terms hereof.

 

(h)            Adjustment
of Restrictions. If any provision of Sections 10, 11, 12 and/or 13 of this Agreement is found by a court or arbitrator to be
unenforceable under applicable law because one or more provisions are over broad or otherwise not enforceable in the form as set forth
herein, then the court or arbitrator shall have the power to revise the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary to make the provisions
hereof enforceable.

 

(i)            Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the conflicts of law
provisions of any jurisdiction that would cause this Agreement to be governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the
State of California.

 

(j)            Counterparts
and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The counterparts of this Agreement and any schedules
and exhibits hereto, if any, may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature by any of the parties to any other party and the receiving
party may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered by facsimile as if the original had been received.

 

(k)            Construction.
The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent
or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by both parties, and no presumption or burden of proof
shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

 

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870(a)

 

(a)            Any
provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an
invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using
the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

 

(1)            Relate
at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development of the employer; or

 

(2)            Result
from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

 

(b)            To
the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being
required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.
