Dear Ray:

 

This letter sets forth the agreements we have made regarding your
employment with Psychemedics Corporation (the “Company”). Definitions not defined in the text below shall have the
meanings set forth in Paragraph 14.

 

		1.	If at any time after the effective date hereof and prior to the date which is five (5) years following the date hereof, your
employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or you voluntarily terminate your employment for Good Reason, in either
case at the time of, or within twelve (12) months following, a Change of Control of the Company, then you will continue to be paid
monthly an amount equal to your Average Monthly Total Compensation for the twelve full months preceding the date of such termination
(“Termination Pay”) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, provided that in the case
of your voluntary termination of your employment solely on account of the “Good Reason” factor described in clause
(iv) of paragraph 14(e) below, then such Termination Pay shall be for a period of six (6) months from the date of termination.
Your Termination Pay will be subject to normal deductions for taxes, benefit plan contributions, other payroll deductions and any
amount due the Company as a result of cash advances. The Company agrees to continue to make health insurance available to you,
under such health insurance plan as the Company has in effect, for twelve months so long as you contribute such portion of the
premiums for such insurance as is required of employees under such plan. You agree, however, that if you obtain health insurance
coverage through another employer while you are eligible to receive health insurance under this Agreement, the Company shall no
longer be required to make health insurance available to you under this Agreement. You agree to give the Company at least fourteen
(14) days prior written notice of the termination of your employment in the event of your voluntary termination without Good Reason.
You shall not be entitled to Termination Pay as a result of termination by reason of your death or Disability following a Change
of Control of the Company.

		2.	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Termination Pay contemplated to be paid to you under certain circumstances
set forth in this Agreement shall only be paid in consideration of the execution and delivery by you of a release reasonably satisfactory
to the Company waiving all claims you, your heirs, or legal representatives have or may have against the Company or any of its
shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents with respect to your employment or the termination thereof, or any other
claim.

 

		3.	You acknowledge that, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, you are in possession of specialized information concerning
the total operations, conduct, management, and strategy of the Company, as well as proprietary information concerning the Company’s
products and services and that the applicability of your knowledge of these matters is applicable to all geographic areas in which
the Company does business. You further acknowledge that the Company has a legitimate business interest in protecting its hair testing
business from unfair competition.

 

		4.	In addition to any other confidentiality obligations you may have as an employee of the Company, you shall not, without the
prior and express written approval of the Company, either during or subsequent to the term of your employment, disclose or use
or enable another to disclose or use any secret, private or confidential information, trade secret or other proprietary knowledge
of the Company, or its subsidiaries, divisions, employees or agents. Upon termination of your employment with the Company, you
shall deliver to the Company all equipment, records and copies of records, notes, data, memoranda, prototypes, designs, customer
lists and other information which is embodied in physical media and documents belonging to the Company which are then in your possession.
You agree that all such information and documents shall be the property of the Company and that the obligations set forth in this
paragraph shall survive termination of your employment.

 

		5.	You agree that in addition to any other covenant not to compete with the Company following termination of your employment to
which you may be bound, if you or the Company shall terminate your employment in such a manner as to entitle you to Termination
Pay under paragraph 1, above, you shall not, for so long as you are entitled to receive such Termination Pay:

 

(a)       directly or indirectly own, manage,
operate or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or become associated in any capacity
with any business enterprise, firm, corporation or company related to the field of testing for the detection of drug use, which
is in competition with the business of the Company, or directly or indirectly accept employment with or render services on behalf
of a competitor of the Company, or any other third party, in any capacity which may reasonably be considered to be useful to the
competitor or such other third party to become a competitor, without receiving the Company’s prior written approval; or

(b)        induce or attempt to induce any employee, officer, consultant, or
agent of the Company to leave the employ thereof or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and any
employee, officer, consultant, or agent thereof; hire directly or through another entity any person who was an employee of
the Company at any time during the six (6) months prior to the date such person is to be so hired; or induce or attempt to
induce any customer, client, supplier, licensee, or other business relation of the Company to cease doing business with the
Company or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, client, supplier, licensee, or business
relation and the Company (including, without limitation, making any negative statements or communications concerning the
Company).

 

		6.	You agree that your obligations under paragraphs 4 and 5 are special, unique, and extraordinary and that any breach by you
of such obligations shall be deemed material, and shall be deemed to cause irreparable injury not properly compensable by damages
in an action at law, and the rights and remedies of the Company under paragraphs 4 and 5 may, therefore, be enforced both at law
and in equity, by injunction or otherwise. For purposes of paragraphs 4, and 5, the term “Company” shall include any
and all subsidiaries or divisions of the Company.

 

		7.	The five year period set forth in paragraph 1 above may be extended only with the mutual written agreement of the parties.

 

		8.	If at any time a controversy between you and the Company arises as to the meaning or operation of this Agreement, such controversy
shall be submitted to arbitration by either party in Boston, Massachusetts, before an arbitrator to be named by the President of
the Boston Branch of the American Arbitration Association, provided however, that the Company shall also have the rights set forth
in paragraph 6 above. Such arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and procedures then in effect
of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and judgment on any award
made by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The costs of the arbitrator shall be borne equally
by you and the Company. Each party will bear his or its own legal costs.

		9.	This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without
reference to principles of conflict of laws.

 

		10.	This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties in respect of this transaction and supersedes any prior agreement
or understanding relating to your employment by the Company, other than any existing nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements
you may have with the Company and any prior stock unit award agreements with the Company. No amendment or modification of any provision
of this Agreement will be valid unless in writing signed by both parties. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by you or an
authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be.

 

		11.	This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of:

(a) the Company, and any successors or assigns of the Company, whether by way
of a merger or consolidation, or liquidation of the Company, or by way of the Company selling all or substantially all of the assets
and business of the Company to a successor entity; and, subject to the Company's right to terminate your employment at any time,
the Company agrees to require any successor entity to expressly assume or unconditionally guarantee the Company's obligations under
this Agreement (unless such obligations are assumed by operation of law); and (b) you and your heirs, executors and administrators.

 

		12.	Any notice or other communication required hereunder shall be in writing, shall be deemed to have been given and received when

thereunder (the “Code”), following a Change in Control of the Company, you are a “specified employee” within
the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that you become entitled to under
this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to the twenty percent (20%) additional tax imposed pursuant to
Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable

(b)        This Agreement is intended to be in compliance with the provisions of Section

this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A
of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional
cost to either party.

 

(c)        Solely for the purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each installment payment
of Termination Pay shall be considered a separate payment.

 

(d)        The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability
to you or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section
409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, said Section.

coverage through another employer while you are eligible to receive health insurance under this Agreement, the Company shall no
longer be required to make health insurance available to you under this Agreement. You agree to give the Company at least fourteen
