Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) three hundred fifty thousand (350,000) of the Company’s restricted stock
units (the “RSUs”). The RSUs grant will be evidenced by the Company’s standard Restricted Stock Units
Agreement that will specify such other terms and conditions as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”),
in its sole discretion, will determine in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, including all terms, conditions
and restrictions related to the grant and the form of payout. 66.6% of the RSUs shall vest on the second anniversary of the Amendment
Effective Date (the “Initial Vesting Date”) and the remaining 33.4% of the RSUs shall vest on conclusion of
the Term (the “Second Vesting Date” and together with the Initial Vesting Date, each a “Vesting Date”),
provided that the Executive is continuously employed by the Company through the applicable Vesting Date (except as otherwise provided
in Article 8 of the Employment Agreement). In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), if the Executive remains employed
by the Company through the date of a Change of Control, any unvested RSUs shall vest immediately prior to such event. Each vested
RSU shall be settled by delivery to the Executive of one share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), of the Company per vested RSU on the first to occur of: (i) the date of a Change of Control, (ii) the date that

sale by the Executive in the open market of a number of shares of Common Stock underlying the vested RSUs up to the maximum applicable
withholding rate. As permitted by law and subject to any required consents (including under any applicable agreements of the Company),
on or before each Settlement Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to allow Executive (and if permitted by
the Company, other executives) to settle a number of vested RSUs sufficient to cover his employment tax obligation arising in connection
with the settlement of his vested RSUs in the open market pursuant to such Form S-8. “Change of Control” shall
have the meaning provided in the Plan, except that (i) for purposes of determining whether a Change of Control has occurred under
this Amendment or the Employment Agreement, the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock and/or convertible or voting securities
by Robert Ellin and/or his Affiliates (as defined in the Employment Agreement) resulting in him and/or his Affiliates having Beneficial
Ownership (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more (or subsequently less) than 50%
of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change of Control, and (ii) for purposes of the
RSUs (and any other amounts payable on a Change of Control that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within
the meaning of the 409A Rules), a Change of Control shall only be deemed to occur if such transaction also constitutes a “change
of control event” within the meaning of the 409A Rules. By signing this Amendment, Executive acknowledges receipt and understands
the terms of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.

from any amounts payable hereunder any applicable federal, state, and local taxes that the Company is required withhold pursuant
to any applicable law.

Employment Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following text at the end of such section:

 

“Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Equity Compensation (as defined below) (and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity Compensation) shall
be subject to a lock-up of twelve (12) months from the vesting date as provided by this Section (the “Lock-Up Period”).
During the Lock-Up Period, Executive agrees to the agreements and restrictions set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto. Subsequent
to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, for a period of one year, Executive shall not be permitted or have the right to sell on
each trading day more than 10,000 shares, as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reverse stock
split, reorganization, recapitalization, or other reclassification affecting the Company’s equity securities occurring after
the December 10, 2019 (the “Daily Trading Limit”); provided, that the Daily Trading Limit shall not apply to

Employment Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following text at the end of such section:

 

“Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Equity Compensation (and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity Compensation) shall be subject to the
Lock-Up Period. During the Lock-Up Period, Executive agrees to the agreements and restrictions set forth in Exhibit C attached
hereto. Subsequent to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, for a period of one year, Executive shall not be permitted or have
the right to sell on each trading day more than the Daily Trading Limit; provided, that the Daily Trading Limit shall not apply
to the Company’s equity securities purchased by Executive in open market transactions.”

is hereby amended by inserting Exhibit C attached hereto at the end of the Employment Agreement. Such Exhibit C shall
be incorporated by reference into and shall be made a part of the Employment Agreement.

expressly set forth in this Section 1, the text of the Employment Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and
effect.
