whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made, developed or created by the Employee (whether at
the request or suggestion of the Company, any of its Affiliates, or otherwise, whether alone or in conjunction with others, and whether
during regular hours of work or otherwise) during the period of Employee’s employment by the Company which may pertain to the business,

will be promptly and fully disclosed by the Employee to an appropriate executive officer of the Company (other than the Employee) without
any additional compensation therefor, all papers, drawings, models, data, documents and other material pertaining to or in any way relating
to any Inventions made, developed or created by Employee as aforesaid. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate”

Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6 would be
inadequate and, therefore, agrees that the Company and its Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other
available rights and remedies in case of any such breach or threatened breach; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company or any of its Affiliates from pursuing any other rights and remedies available for

the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), becomes
the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly,

common stock in accordance with its terms and unvested portion shall not vest and will be immediately forfeited effective as of the date

period following the termination of Employee’s employment for any or no reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

and dealings with existing or potential customers or clients, or solicit or encourage any other employee of the Company or any of its
Affiliates to do any act that is disloyal to the Company or any of its Affiliates or inconsistent with the interest of the Company or
any of its Affiliate’s interests or in violation of any provision of this Agreement;

 

    	 

    	 

    

(ii)the
Employee will not discuss with any existing or potential customers or clients of the Company or any of its Affiliates the present or
future availability of services or products of a business, if the Employee has or expects to acquire a proprietary interest in such business
or is or expects to be an employee, officer or director of such business, where such services or products are competitive with services
or products which the Company or any of its Affiliates provides;

 

(iii)the
Employee will not make any statement or do any act intended to cause any existing or potential customers or clients of the Company or
any of its Affiliates to make use of the services or purchase the products of any competitive business in which the Employee has or expects
to acquire a proprietary interest or in which the Employee is or expects to be made an employee, officer or director, if such services
or products in any way compete with the services or products sold or provided or expected to be sold or provided by the Company or any
of its Affiliates to any existing or potential customer or client; and

 

(iv)the
Employee will not directly or indirectly (as a director, officer, employee, manager, consultant, independent contractor, advisor or otherwise)
engage in competition with, or own any interest in, perform any services for, participate in or be connected with (i) any business or
organization which engages in competition with the Company or any of its Affiliates in any geographical area where any business is presently
carried on by the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) any business or organization which engages in competition with the Company
or any of its Affiliates in any geographical area where any business shall be hereafter, during the period of the Employee’s employment
by the Company, carried on by the Company or any of its Affiliates, if such business is then being carried on by the Company or any of
its Affiliates in such geographical area; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 8(a) shall not be deemed
to prohibit the Employee’s ownership of not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock outstanding
of any publicly held company.

 

(b)       During
the Non-Compete Term, the Employee will not directly or indirectly hire, engage, send any work to, place orders with, or in any manner
be associated with any supplier, contractor, subcontractor or other person or firm which rendered manufacturing or other services, or
sold any products, to the Company or any of its Affiliates if such action by Employee would have a material adverse effect on the business,
assets or financial condition of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

(c)       In
connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the Employee represents that Employee’s experience, capabilities and
circumstances are such that such provisions will not prevent Employee from earning a livelihood. The Employee further agrees that the
limitations set forth in this Section 8 (including, without limitation, any time or territorial
limitations) are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates. It
is understood and agreed that the covenants made by the Employee in this Section 8 (and in Section 6 hereof) shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement.

    	 

    	 

    

 

(d)       For
purposes of this Section 8, proprietary interest in a business is ownership, whether through direct or indirect stock holdings or otherwise,
of one percent (1%) or more of such business. The Employee shall be deemed to expect to acquire a proprietary interest in a business
or to be made an officer or director of such business if such possibility has been discussed with any officer, director, employee, agent,
or promoter of such business.

 

(e)       The
Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 8 would be
inadequate and, therefore, agrees that the Company and any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any
other available rights and remedies in cases of any such breach or threatened breach; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company or any of its Affiliates from pursuing any other rights and remedies available for
any such breach or threatened breach.

 

9.       Non-Assignability.
(a) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable by the Employee, Employee’s beneficiaries, or
legal representatives without the Company’s prior written consent; provided, however, that nothing in this Section
9(a) shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefit payable hereunder upon Employee’s death
or incapacity.

 

(b)       Except
as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation or to exclusion, attachment, levy or similar process or assignment by operation
of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.

 

10.       Binding
Effect. Without limiting or diminishing the effect of Section 9 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns.

 

11.
       Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient
if in writing and either delivered in person or sent by first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, if to the Company,
at the Company’s principal place of business, and if to the Employee, at Employee’s home address, or, in the case of either
party, to such other address or addresses as such party shall have designated in writing to the other party hereto.

 

12.       Severability.
The Employee agrees that in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall finally hold that any provision of Section 6 or
8 hereof is void or constitutes an unreasonable restriction against the Employee, such provision shall not be rendered void but shall
apply with respect to such extent as such court may judicially determine constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances.
If any part of this Agreement other than Section 6 or 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegible or incapable
of being enforced in whole or in part by reason of any rule of law or public policy, such part shall be deemed to be severed from the
remainder of this Agreement for the purpose only of the particular legal proceedings in question and all other covenants and provisions
of this Agreement shall in every other respect continue in full force and effect and no covenant or provision shall be deemed dependent
upon any other covenant or provision.

    	 

    	 

    

 

13.       Waiver.
Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver
or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times.

 

14.       Entire
Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement constitutes the entire and final expression of the agreement of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral and written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.

 

15.       Relevant
Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without
regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

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

 

17.       Survival.
The termination of Employee’s employment hereunder shall not affect the enforceability of Sections 6 or 8.

 

18.       Further
Assurances. The parties agree to execute and deliver all such further instruments and take such other and further action as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

 

19.       Headings.
The Section headings appearing in this Agreement are for purposes of easy reference and shall not be considered a part of this Agreement
or in any way modify, amend or affect its provisions.
