 -3- 

 (a) directly or indirectly contact any Customer for the purpose of soliciting such Customer
to purchase, lease or license a product or service that is the same as, similar to, or in competition with those products and/or services made, rendered, offered or under development by Company or any Affiliate; 

(b) directly or indirectly employ, or knowingly permit any company or business directly or indirectly controlled by Executive to employ any
person who is employed by Company or any Affiliate at any time during the term of Executive’s employment, or in any manner facilitate the leaving of any such person from his or her employment with Company or any Affiliate; 

(c) directly or indirectly interfere with or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between Company or any Affiliate
and any of its employees or solicit, induce, or attempt to induce employees of Company or any Affiliate to terminate employment with Company or Affiliate and become self-employed or employed with others in the same or similar business or any product
line or service provided by Company or any Affiliate; or 
 (d) directly or indirectly engage in any activity or business as a consultant,
independent contractor, agent, employee, officer, partner, director or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, corporation or other entity, in any Competing Business operating within the United States or any other country where
Executive has worked and/or conducted business for Company and its Affiliates within the one (1) year period prior to the termination of Executive’s employment. 

Executive acknowledges that Company and its Affiliates are engaged in business throughout the United States, as well as in other countries and
that the marketplace for Company’s and its Affiliates’ products and services is worldwide. Executive further covenants and agrees that the geographic, length of term and types of activities restrictions
(non-competition restrictions) contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Company and its Affiliates because of the scope of Company’s and the
Affiliates’ businesses. 
 In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that one or more of the provisions of
this Paragraph 6 is so broad as to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be reduced in scope or length, as the case may be, to the extent required to make this Paragraph enforceable. If Executive violates the provisions of this
Paragraph 6, the periods described therein shall be extended by that number of days which equals the aggregate of all days during which at any time any such violations occurred. Executive acknowledges that the offer of employment by Company, or any
other consideration offered for signing this agreement, is sufficient consideration for Executive’s agreement to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Paragraph 6, and that each Affiliate is an intended third-party beneficiary of such
covenants with a separate and independent right to enforce the same. Executive agrees that Executive’s signing of an employment agreement containing the restrictive covenants set forth herein was a condition precedent to Executive’s
continued employment with Company.

 7. NONDISCLOSURE AND NONUSE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Executive covenants and
agrees during Executive’s employment or any time after the termination of such employment, not to communicate or divulge to any person, firm, corporation or business entity, either directly or indirectly, and to hold in strict confidence for
the benefit of Company, all Confidential Information except that Executive may disclose such Confidential Information to persons, firms or corporations who need to know such Confidential Information during the course and within the scope of
Executive’s employment. Executive will not use any Confidential Information for any purpose or for Executive’s personal benefit other than in the course and within the scope of Executive’s employment. Executive agrees to sign and
abide by the terms and conditions of Company’s Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Protection Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule B and incorporated as though fully set forth herein. 

8. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party with or without Cause under the following conditions: 

(a) With Cause Termination. Executive may be terminated from employment with “Cause.” “Cause” shall mean
(i) the commission of a crime involving moral turpitude, theft, fraud or deceit; (ii) conduct which brings Company or any Affiliate into public disgrace or disrepute and that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the business
interest of Company or any Affiliate; (iii) substantial or continued unwillingness to perform duties as reasonably directed by Executive’s supervisors or Company’s Board of Directors; (iv) gross negligence or deliberate
misconduct; or (v) any material breach of Paragraphs 6 or 7 of this Agreement, or Executive’s Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Protection Agreement. In the event that Executive is terminated with Cause, Company may
immediately cease payment of any further wages, benefits or other compensation hereunder other than salary and benefits (excluding options) earned through the date of termination. Executive acknowledges that Executive has continuing obligations
under this Agreement including, but not limited to Paragraphs 6 and 7, in the event that Executive is terminated with Cause. 
 (b)
Without Cause Termination; Resignation. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by Company without Cause or Executive resigns at the direction of Company’s or Parent’s Board of Directors, Executive will be
entitled to the following: 
 (1) Twelve (12) months of Executive’s last monthly base salary, as set forth in
Schedule A, less appropriate deductions, divided into equal installments and paid on Company’s regular payroll dates over a period of twelve (12) months commencing with the first regular payroll date occurring on or after the
sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination date, together with a catch-up payment consisting of the installments that otherwise would have
been paid on the regular payroll dates occurring between the termination date and such initial payment date, and the remaining installments paid on succeeding regular payroll dates during such twelve (12)-month period until paid in full
(“Severance Pay”). 
 Severance Pay will be treated as amounts paid under Company’s generally applicable
severance pay policy (“Severance Policy”) as in effect from time to time to the extent of Executive’s entitlement to payments under the Severance Policy. 

  
 -5- 

 (2) Executive’s annual performance-based cash bonus target, as set
forth in Schedule A, less appropriate deductions, payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment. 

(3) Continued coverage under Company’s employee benefit plans (other than 401(k) or pension benefit coverage) after
termination of employment for Executive and his eligible dependents, as and when provided under the Severance Policy, and subject to the payment of applicable premiums or other costs, all in accordance with the terms of the Severance Policy and the
applicable benefit plans (including, without limitation, cessation of such benefits due to receiving similar benefit coverage from a new employer). 

(4) Following the cessation of coverage under Company’s group health (medical, dental, and vision) plans under Paragraph
8(b)(3) above, Executive shall be entitled to continue his coverage and coverage for any eligible qualified beneficiary under Company’s group health plans in accordance with and for as long as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) (subject to payment of the applicable cost for such coverage as may be required by Company in accordance with COBRA). Any period of post-termination coverage under Paragraph 8(b)(3) above shall not be
considered as part of the COBRA continued coverage period. 
 (5) For any period COBRA coverage under Company’s group
health plans is in effect for Executive and/or Executive’s qualified beneficiaries during the first six (6) months after Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall receive a monthly payment at the same time as the
Severance Pay, less appropriate withholding, pursuant to Company’s regular schedule and payroll practices, in an amount equal to the excess of Executive’s cost for COBRA coverage over the cost Executive would have paid for group health
plan coverage as an active employee of Company. 
 (6) For a period of twelve (12) months following Executive’s
termination date, continued vesting in unvested stock options outstanding as of such termination date and granted under Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, or any successor thereto (the “Options”). 

(7) The exercise period for a vested Option, including those which vest pursuant to Paragraph 8(b)(6) above, will be extended
for a period of six (6) months after the otherwise applicable expiration date, but not later than the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of such Option; or (ii) ten (10) years from the date of grant. 

Executive further acknowledges that Company’s obligations under this Paragraph 8(b), are contingent upon and subject to Executive’s
signing (and not revoking) an agreement and release of all claims against Company in a form similar to the one attached hereto as Schedule C (or such other form acceptable to Company), and such release becoming effective in accordance with
its terms prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination date. 

  
 -6- 

 (c) Without Cause or Good Reason Termination following Change of Control. In the
event that upon or within one (1) year following a Change of Control, either Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with Company for Good Reason or Company terminates Executive’s employment with Company without Cause, Executive
will be entitled to the following in lieu of the payments and benefits to which Executive would otherwise be entitled upon such termination in accordance with Paragraph 8(b): 

(1) A lump sum payment, less appropriate deductions, equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) Executive’s average
annual base salary for the last three (3) years (including the year of termination); and (ii) Executive’s average annual performance-based cash bonus received for the prior three (3) years (not including the year of termination),
such payment to be made on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination date. 

(2) Payment by Company of the premiums, less appropriate withholding, required to continue Executive’s and his eligible
dependents’ group health care (medical, dental, and vision) coverage under the applicable provisions of COBRA, provided that Executive timely elects to continue such coverage under COBRA, for a period ending on the first to occur of
(i) the date twenty-four (24) months following Executive’s termination of employment; and (ii) the date Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage through another employer, provided that the amount of the premiums
payable under this Paragraph is equal to the excess of Executive’s cost for COBRA coverage over the cost Executive would have paid for group health plan coverage as an active employee of Company. 

(3) Acceleration in full, effective as of Executive’s final day of employment, of the vesting and/or exercisability of all
then-outstanding equity awards held by Executive. 
 (4) The exercise period for a vested Option, including those which vest
pursuant to Paragraph 8(c)(3) above, will be extended for a period of six (6) months after the otherwise applicable expiration date, but not later than the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of such Option; or (ii) ten (10)
years from the date of grant. 
 (5) Reimbursement for outplacement services (not exceeding Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000)) in accordance with Company’s standard policies concerning reimbursement. 
 Executive further acknowledges that
Company’s obligations under this Paragraph 8(c), are contingent upon and subject to Executive’s signing (and not revoking) an agreement and release of all claims against Company in a form similar to the one attached hereto as Schedule
C (or such other form acceptable to Company), and such release becoming effective in accordance with its terms prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination date.

  
 -7- 

 (d) Section 280G. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if any payment or benefit hereunder or otherwise payable to Executive constitutes a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”)), and the net after-tax amount of any such parachute payment is less than the net after-tax amount if the aggregate payments and benefits to be made to Executive were three times
Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(3)), less One Dollar ($1.00), then the aggregate of the amounts constituting the parachute payments shall be reduced to an amount equal to three (3) times
Executive’s base amount, less One Dollar ($1.00). If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting parachute payments is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order:
reduction of cash payments; then reduction of employee benefits. 
 The determinations to be made with respect to this Paragraph shall be
made by Company’s independent accountants or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree, which shall be paid by Company for the services to be provided hereunder. For purposes of making the calculations required by this
Paragraph, the accountants may make reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999 and make reasonable assumptions regarding Executive’s marginal tax rate in effect for such parachute payments,
including the effect of the deductibility of state and local taxes on such marginal tax rate. Executive and Company shall furnish to accountants such information and documents as the accountants may reasonably request in order to make a
determination under this Paragraph. 
 9. TERM. Executive’s employment shall continue from year to year or until such employment
is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8. Executive acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein guarantees Executive continued employment by Company for any specified or intended term, and that his employment and this Agreement
may be terminated by Company at any time. 
 10. EQUITABLE RELIEF; FEES AND EXPENSES. Executive stipulates and agrees that any breach
of this Agreement by Executive will result in immediate and irreparable harm to Company and its Affiliates, the amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain, and that Company and its Affiliates could not be reasonably or adequately
compensated by damages in an action at law. For these reasons, Company and its Affiliates shall have the right to obtain such preliminary, temporary or permanent injunctions or restraining orders or decrees as may be necessary to protect Company or
any Affiliate against, or on account of, any breach by Executive of the provisions of this Agreement without the need to post bond. Such right to equitable relief is in addition to all other legal remedies Company or any Affiliate may have to
protect its rights. The prevailing party in any such action shall be responsible for reimbursing the non-prevailing party for all costs associated with obtaining the relief, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, and expenses and costs of suit. Executive further covenants and agrees that any order of court or judgment obtained by Company or an Affiliate which enforces Company’s or Affiliate’s rights under this Agreement may be
transferred, without objection or opposition by Executive, to any court of law or other appropriate law enforcement body located in any other state in the United States or any other country in the world where Company or such Affiliate does business,
and that said court or body shall give full force and effect to said order and or judgment.

 11. EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROCEDURE-WAIVER OF RIGHTS. In consideration of
Company employing Executive and the wages and benefits provided under this Agreement, Executive and Company each agree that, in the event either party (or its representatives, successors or assigns) brings an action in a court of competent
jurisdiction relating to Executive’s recruitment, employment with, or termination of employment from Company, the plaintiff in such action agrees to waive his, her or its right to a trial by jury, and further agrees that no demand, request or
motion will be made for trial by jury. 
 In consideration of Company employing Executive, and the wages and benefits provided under this
Agreement, Executive further agrees that, in the event that Executive seeks relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for a dispute covered by this Agreement, Company may, at any time within sixty (60) days of the service of Executive’s
complaint upon Company, at its option, require all or part of the dispute to be arbitrated by one arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Executive agrees that the option to arbitrate any dispute is governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act, and is fully enforceable. Executive understands and agrees that, if Company exercises its option, any dispute arbitrated will be heard solely by the arbitrator, and not by a court. The parties agree that the
prevailing party shall be entitled to have all of their legal fees paid by the non-prevailing party. This pre-dispute resolution agreement will cover all matters
directly or indirectly related to Executive’s recruitment, employment or termination of employment by Company; including, but not limited to, claims involving laws against any form of discrimination whether brought under federal and/or state
law, and/or claims involving co-employees, but excluding Worker’s Compensation Claims. 

THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL, AND TO A TRIAL BY JURY, IS OF VALUE. YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT. IF SO,
TAKE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH YOU. HOWEVER, YOU WILL NOT BE OFFERED EMPLOYMENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT UNTIL THIS AGREEMENT IS SIGNED AND RETURNED BY YOU. 

12. AMENDMENTS. No supplement, modification, amendment or waiver of the terms of this Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto
unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver
constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. Any failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any such terms or conditions. 

13. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF EXECUTIVE. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) this Agreement is necessary for the
protection of the legitimate business interests of Company and its Affiliates; (b) the restrictions contained in this Agreement may be enforced in a court of law whether or not Executive is terminated with or without cause or for performance
related reasons; (c) Executive has no intention of competing with Company and its Affiliates within the limitations set forth above; (d) Executive has received adequate and valuable consideration for entering into this Agreement;
(e) Executive’s covenants shall be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action Executive may have against Company or any Affiliate, whether predicated on this
Agreement or not, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Company or an Affiliate of these covenants; and (f) the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a mandatory condition precedent to Executive’s receipt of the
consideration provided herein. 

  
 -9- 

 14. FULL UNDERSTANDING. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been afforded the
opportunity to seek legal counsel, that Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement and that Executive, in consideration for the compensation set forth herein, is voluntarily entering into this
Agreement. 
 15. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between Company or Affiliates
and Executive concerning the subject matter hereof. 
 16. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein. The restrictive covenants stated herein may be read as if separate and apart from this Agreement and shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason. 

17. OTHER AGREEMENTS. Executive represents and warrants that Executive is not a party to or otherwise subject to or bound by the terms
of any contract, agreements or understandings that would affect Executive’s right or abilities to perform under this Agreement. Executive specifically represents that Executive will not use any confidential information obtained from

Affiliate or Executive to enforce their rights hereunder to any court or arbitrator geographically located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Executive hereby waives any objections to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in or for Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania, including any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue, and/or forum non-conveniens, in any proceeding by Company or any Affiliate to enforce its rights hereunder filed in or for
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Executive agrees not to object to any petition filed by Company or an Affiliate to remove an action filed by Executive from a forum or court not located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. 

19. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs and
legal representatives of the parties hereto. Parent and Company shall each require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of its business and/or assets to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Parent or Company, as the case may be, would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, and Executive agrees to be obligated by this
Agreement to any successor, assign or surviving entity. As used in this Paragraph, “Parent” shall mean Parent as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform

  
 -10-

21. SECTION 409A. 
 (a)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A
(“Section 409A”) or shall comply with the requirements of such provision. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, any
payments or arrangements due upon a termination of Executive’s employment, if any, under any arrangement that constitute a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and which do not otherwise
qualify under the exemptions under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1 (including without limitation, the short-term deferral exemption or the permitted payments under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)), shall be delayed and paid or provided on the earlier of (i) the date which is six months after Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined
in Section 409A and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death; and (ii) the date of Executive’s death. 

  
 -11- 

 (b) After Executive’s termination, Executive shall have no duties or responsibilities
that are inconsistent with having a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the date of his termination and, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, distributions upon termination of
employment of nonqualified deferred compensation may only be made upon a “separation from service” as determined under Section 409A and such date shall be the date of Executive’s termination for purposes of this Agreement. Each
payment under this Agreement or otherwise shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement which
constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and to the extent an amount is payable within a time period, the time during which such amount is paid shall be in the discretion of Company.

 22. COUNTERPARTS: TELECOPY. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of executed signature pages by facsimile transmission will constitute effective and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement. 

23. HEADINGS. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting
this Agreement. 
 24. DRAFTER PROVISION. The parties agree that they have both had the opportunity to review and negotiate this

 Schedule A-8 

This Schedule A-8 dated March 20, 2019, is issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Executive
Employment Agreement by and among Company, Parent and Executive, dated March 20, 2019 (the “Agreement”), and shall be incorporated therein and governed by the terms and conditions of such Agreement. This Schedule A-8 is effective April 1, 2019, and is intended to replace any previously issued Schedule A. 
 1.
Position: Chief Financial Officer. Executive shall report in such capacity to Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 
 2. Base Salary:
$325,000 per year. 
 3. Bonus: Executive will be entitled to an annual performance-based cash bonus of $160,000, for the achievement of certain
financial and operational targets. These targets, and the bonus dollars tied to such targets, will be determined and communicated to you by the Chief Executive Officer on an annual basis. For the 2019 calendar year, your bonus will be based on the
following performance measures: 
  

	 	a.	 Consolidated Revenue; 

 

	 	b.	 Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share – Diluted; and 

 

	 	c.	 Consolidated Gross Profit Dollars. 

The target amount for each measure for the 2019 calendar year is set forth on Appendix 1 to this schedule. Should Company fail to achieve the
target amount for the above performance measures, Executive’s annual performance-based bonus, if any, shall be based upon Company’s evaluation of the percentage of the target amount achieved during the year. Conversely, should
Company’s performance exceed the target amount for the above performance measures, Executive’s annual performance-based bonus may exceed the bonus amount stated above, based upon Company’s evaluation of the percentage of the
over-achievement of such target amount(s). All bonuses will be paid by March 15, 2020, following the completion of Company’s year-end audit. If Executive leaves Company voluntarily, or is terminated
with Cause, before December 31, 2019, Executive will not be eligible for a bonus. If Executive is terminated by Company during 2019 without Cause, Executive’s bonus calculation will be based on Company’s annual results (calculated as
though Executive were still an employee) and a prorated bonus will be paid considering the days in 2019 in which Executive was employed by Company divided by 365. 

4. Benefits: Executive is eligible for standard company benefits in the same manner as other executives of Company. 

5. Expenses: Company will reimburse all properly documented expenses reasonably related to Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties
hereunder.

 6. Stock Options: On January 16, 2019, Executive received an award of a non-qualified stock option to purchase 55,000 shares of Parent common stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth on Appendix 2 to this Schedule. Thereafter, during the Term of Employment, Executive
shall be eligible to receive non-qualified stock options and other awards pursuant to Company’s Stock Incentive Plan in a manner and amount determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

price; or (iii) by delivering shares of Common Stock or a combination of shares and cash having an aggregate Fair Market 

  

 Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the exercise price of the shares being purchased; provided, however,
that shares of Common Stock delivered by the Optionee may be accepted as full or partial payment of the exercise price for any exercise of the option hereunder only if the shares have been held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months. To
the extent required by the Corporation, Optionee shall also tender at the time of exercise cash equal to the amount of federal and state withholding taxes due in connection with such exercise. 

Miscellaneous.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Executive Employment
Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 19, 2019, by and between Helix TCS, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and Zachary L. Venegas (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes
to continue to employ Executive as its Chief Executive Officer, and Executive wishes to accept such continued employment, on the
terms set forth in this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, Executive acknowledges
and agrees that through Executive’s association with the Company as an employee, Executive has acquired and will acquire
a considerable amount of knowledge and goodwill with respect to the business of the Company, which knowledge and goodwill are highly
valuable to the Company and which would be detrimental to the Company if used by Executive to compete with the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes
to protect its investment in its business, employees, customer relationships, and confidential information, by requiring Executive
to abide by certain restrictive covenants regarding confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation, each of which is an
inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing, the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Employment
At Will. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company employs Executive, and Executive accepts such employment,
upon the terms hereinafter set forth. Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date
and will continue thereafter until terminated by either party. Executive’s employment with the Company is at-will, and either
party can terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any or no cause or reason, and with or without prior notice, subject
to Section 5(b) below.

 

2. Position;
Duties. Executive will serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors
and will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company. Executive will report solely and directly to, and be subject
to the supervision of, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Executive will perform such services
for the Company and have such powers, responsibilities and authority as are customarily associated with the position of Chief Executive
Officer and will perform such additional duties as may otherwise be reasonably assigned to Executive from time to time by the Board.
Executive will devote Executive’s full business time to the affairs of the Company and to the duties hereunder, and will
perform such duties diligently and to the best of Executive’s ability, in compliance with the Company’s policies and
procedures and the laws and regulations that apply to the Company’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to compensation
committee approval (or Board approval if the compensation committee has not yet been formed), not to be unreasonably withheld,
Executive may serve on civic, corporate or charitable boards or committees and manage his personal investments, so long as such
activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive's responsibilities in accordance with this Agreement or
otherwise violate other terms of this Agreement..

 

    1

     

    

 

3. Compensation
and Benefits. As compensation for the services to be rendered by Executive under this Agreement, the Company will provide the
following compensation and benefits during Executive’s employment hereunder.

 

(a) Base
Salary. The Company will initially pay Executive a base salary at an annual rate of two hundred thousand dollars $200,000 (the
“Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s
payroll practices as in effect from time to time. The Base Salary will be reviewed by the Board from time to time, and may be increased
in the sole discretion of the Board. The Base Salary may also be decreased by the Board in connection with any Company-wide decrease
in executive compensation, provided that in connection with such reduction Executive will not experience a proportional decrease
greater than that of any other executive-level employee.

 

(b) Bonus
Opportunity.

 

(i)
Commencing with the calendar year 2018, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus targeted at fifty percent (50%)
of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Cash Bonus”) plus up to 500,000 stock options, subject to proportional
increase if the Company’s approved stock plan is increased during the year (the “Equity Bonus,”
and together with the Cash Bonus, the “Annual Bonus”), subject to the following provisions of this Section

 

(A) For
calendar year 2018, the Executive’s eligibility for an Annual Bonus will be contingent on whether the Company’s total
revenue for calendar year 2018, as reported by the Company, exceeds its total revenue for calendar year 2017 by at least fifty
percent (50%).

 

(B) For
calendar year 2019, the Executive’s eligibility for an Annual Bonus will be contingent on whether the Company’s total
revenue in calendar year 2019, as reported by the Company, exceeds its total revenue for calendar year 2018 by at least fifty percent
(50%).

 

(C) For
calendar year 2020 and thereafter, Executive’s eligibility to receive an Annual Bonus will be based on the achievement, during
the year in question, of both personal and Company-wide objectives established by the Board, or an applicable sub-committee, by
January 31st of each calendar year.

 

(ii) The
Cash Bonus for any given year will be payable between January 1 and March 15 in the year immediately following the year for which
the Annual Bonus is determined. Executive must be employed by the Company on the date on which the Cash Bonus is paid in order
to receive the Cash Bonus for that year, however the Company is not permitted to terminate the Executive’s employment for
the purpose of avoiding payment of the Cash Bonus. The Board will determine whether and to what extent the applicable criteria
have been met and the amount of the Cash Bonus in its discretion, provided that such determination by the Board shall require the
consent of the directors appointed by Rose Capital.

 

    2

     

    

 

(iii) The
Equity Bonus for any given year will be granted between January 1 and March 15 in the year immediately following the year for which
the Annual Bonus is determined. Executive must be employed by the Company on the date on which the Equity Bonus is granted in order
to receive the Equity Bonus for that year. The Equity Bonus will be granted in the form of stock options under the Company’s
2017 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, and will be memorialized by an option grant agreement
to be entered between Executive and the Company. The exercise prices of any such options will be equal to the fair market value
of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The options, if any, will vest over three (3) years in three (3) equal
installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, so long as Executive remains employed by the Company through
each such vesting date, subject to Section 5(b) below. The Board will determine whether and to what extent the applicable criteria
have been met and the amount of the Equity Bonus in its discretion, provided that such determination by the Board shall require
the consent of the directors appointed by Rose Capital.

 

(c) Change
of Control. In the event of a change of control of the Company whereby greater than 50% of the assets of the Company are sold
to an unrelated party or an equity transaction occurs such that following such transaction the pre-transaction shareholders own
less than 50% of equity of the Company (“Change of Control Transaction”), Company shall make a payment to the
Executive equal to one year of Executive’s prevailing annual salary at such time. This payment shall be made within ten days
of closing the Change of Control Transaction.

 

(d) Vacation.
Executive will be entitled to paid vacation days in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy.

 

(e) General
Benefits. Executive will be entitled to such other benefits, and to participate in such benefit plans, as are generally made
available to similarly situated employees of the Company from time to time, subject to Company policy and the terms and conditions
of any applicable benefit plans. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to alter the Company’s rights to modify or terminate
any such plans or programs in its sole discretion.

 

(f) Withholdings.
The Company will withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, and local taxes as the Company
determines are required to be withheld pursuant to applicable law.

 

4. Reimbursement
of Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in connection
with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, subject to Executive’s compliance with the Company’s reimbursement
policies in effect from time to time. Such reimbursements will be made in a timely manner and in accordance with the policies of
the Company.

 

    3

     

    

 

5. Effect
of Termination.

 

(a) Generally.
When Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, Executive, or his estate, as the case may
be, will be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits earned through the effective date of termination, along with reimbursement
for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination and supported by reasonable substantiation and
documentation in accordance with Company policies. In addition, immediately upon the termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company for any reason, Executive will be deemed to have resigned from all positions as an officer or director of the
Company or any affiliates thereof. However if Executive shall have resigned from the Company, Executive shall have the ability
to remain Executive Board Chairman so long as Executive beneficially owns a minimum of 20% of the shares Executive held on the
date of executing this Agreement. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, Executive will execute and return to the Company all
letters and documents that the Company may reasonably require in order to evidence such resignation(s), but Executive’s failure
to execute and return such documents will not have the effect of delaying or in any way invalidating the resignation(s) provided
for by the preceding sentence.

 

(b) Separation
Benefits upon Certain Terminations. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined below)
or if Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), then conditioned upon Executive executing and not revoking a Release
(as defined below) following such termination Executive will be entitled to receive the following “Separation Benefits”:
(i) Executive will be entitled to receive continued payment of Executive’s then-current Base Salary for a period of eighteen
(18) months (the “Salary Continuation”), (ii) Executive will be entitled to sell to the Company at the trailing
10 day VWAP sufficient shares owned by Executive (directly or through a holding company) to generate proceeds equal to the difference
between $800,000 and the cumulative amounts received by Executive from all previous sales he has made of Company stock, and (iii)
all outstanding options to purchase common stock of the Company then held by Executive will, to the extent unvested, vest ratably
by month over the ensuing 18 months and any unexercised options shall expire 21 months after termination, and, to the extent such
options are designated as non-statutory stock options, the post-termination exercise period of such options will be extended to
two years after the date of termination (but in no event beyond the original expiration date of the option). The Salary Continuation
will be payable to Executive over time in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices and procedures beginning on the
thirtieth (30th) day following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, provided that the first installment
will include all installments that would have been paid if the payments had begun immediately following the date of termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive is entitled to receive the Salary Continuation but violates in any material respects
any provisions of Section 6 or Section 8 hereof after termination of employment, the Company will be entitled to immediately stop
paying any further installments of the Salary Continuation, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Company
in law or at equity. For avoidance of doubt, the termination of Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s death
or disability will not constitute a termination without Cause for purposes of litigation but will trigger the rights described
in this Section 5(b). Executive agrees that other than with respect to the share sales described in clause 5(b)(ii) above, for
a period of 18 months following termination, he will not sell an amount of shares each day that exceeds 10% of the trailing 10
trading day average volume) of Helix common stock.

 

    4

     

    

 

(c) Cause.
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: (i) Executive’s fraud, embezzlement, material act
of dishonesty (including, without limitation, the falsification of any material report) or misappropriation with respect to the
Company; (ii) Executive’s willful or negligent misconduct that has or may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the property, business, or reputation of the Company; (iii) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement; (iv)
Executive’s willful failure or refusal to perform Executive’s material duties under this Agreement or willful failure
to follow any specific lawful instructions of the Board; (v) Executive’s conviction or plea of nolo contendere in respect
of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (vi) Executive’s alcohol or substance abuse which has a material
adverse effect on Executive’s ability to perform Executive’s duties under this Agreement or the property, business,
or reputation of the Company; (vii) Executive’s breach of fiduciary duty, or (viii) Executive’s material failure to
comply with the Company’s workplace rules, policies, or procedures. In the event that the Company concludes that Executive
has engaged in acts constituting in Cause as defined in clause (iii) or (iv) above, prior to terminating this Agreement for Cause
the Company will provide Executive with at least fifteen (15) days’ advance notice of the circumstances constituting such
Cause, and an opportunity to correct such circumstances, to the extent such circumstances are susceptible of being corrected. In
the event the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, none of the Separation Benefits shall apply.

 

(d) Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events
without Executive’s consent: (i) a material reduction of Executive’s Base Salary not generally applicable to other
executive-level employees of the Company or in which Executive experiences a proportional decrease greater than that of any other
executive-level employee; (ii) a material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities as in effect
on the date hereof; (iii) a requirement that Executive’s primary work location be more than fifty (50) miles from its location
on the date hereof; (iv) any act by the Company, its Board, its shareholders, or any of their affiliates whose actions or language
that attacks Executive’s reputation, disparages Executive, or makes the Executive’s ability to execute his duties more
difficult; or (v) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement. In order for Executive to resign for Good Reason, Executive
must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason condition within thirty (30) days of the initial
existence of such Good Reason condition, and if such written notice is not timely provided, Executive may not resign for Good Reason
as a result of the existence of such Good Reason condition. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will have fifteen (15) days
during which it may attempt to remedy the Good Reason condition. If so remedied, Executive may not resign for Good Reason on that
basis. If the Good Reason condition is not remedied within such fifteen (15) day period, Executive may resign based on the Good
Reason condition specified in the notice effective ninety (90) days following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day cure period.

 

If Executive resigns other than for Good
Reason, clause 5(b)(i) shall not apply, however the remaining Separation Benefits shall still apply provided that Executive provides
Company with 90 days’ notice prior to terminating his employment.

 

    5

     

    

 

(e) Application
of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the payments made hereunder will be exempt
from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder
and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”), and this Agreement will be interpreted and
applied to the greatest extent possible in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under
Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits provided under this Section
5 that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A will not commence in connection with Executive’s
termination of employment unless and until Executive has also incurred a “separation from service” (as such term is
defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided
to Executive without causing Executive to incur the additional 20% tax under Section 409A. The parties intend that each installment
of the Salary Continuation payments provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Section
409A. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend that the Separation Benefits satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the
exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5), and
1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if the Company determines that the Salary Continuation constitutes “deferred compensation”
under Section 409A and Executive is, as if the separation from service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any
successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence
of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Salary Continuation payments will be delayed until
the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) the
date of Executive’s death (such applicable date, the “Specified Employee Initial Payment Date”), and the
Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) will (A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Salary
Continuation payments that Executive would otherwise have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement
of the payment of the Salary Continuation had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section, and (B) commence paying the balance
of the Salary Continuation in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement.

 

(f) No
Further Obligations. Except as expressly provided above or as otherwise required by law, the Company will have no obligations
to Executive in the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

6. Confidential
Information.

 

(a) Executive
acknowledges that the Company will give Executive access to certain highly-sensitive, confidential, and proprietary information
belonging to the Company (or third parties who may have furnished such information under obligations of confidentiality), relating
to and used in the Company’s business (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Executive acknowledges
that Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the following categories of Company related confidential or proprietary
information and material: financial statements and information; budgets, forecasts, and projections; business and strategic plans;
marketing, sales, and business development strategies; research and development projects; records relating to any intellectual
property developed by, owned by, controlled, or maintained by the Company; information related to the Company’s inventions,
research, products, designs, methods, formulae, techniques, systems, processes; customer lists; non-public information relating
to the Company’s customers, suppliers, distributors, or investors; the specific terms of the Company’s agreements or
arrangements, whether oral or written, with any customer, supplier, vendor, or contractor with which the Company may be associated
from time to time; and any and all information relating to the operation of the Company’s business which the Company may
from time to time designate as confidential or proprietary or that Executive reasonably knows should be, or has been, treated by
the Company as confidential or proprietary. Confidential Information encompasses all formats in which information is preserved,
whether electronic, print, or any other form, including all originals, copies, notes, or other reproductions or replicas thereof.

 

    6

     

    

 

(b) Confidential
Information does not include any information that: (i) at the time of disclosure is generally known to, or readily ascertainable
by, the public; (ii) becomes known to the public through no fault of Executive or other violation of this Agreement; or (iii) is
disclosed to Executive by a third party under no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the information.

 

(c) Executive
acknowledges that the Confidential Information is owned or licensed by the Company (or is possessed by the Company with the permission
of its owner); is unique, valuable, proprietary and confidential; derives independent actual or potential commercial value from
not being generally known or available to the public; and is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy. Executive hereby
relinquishes, and agrees that Executive will not at any time claim, any right, title or interest of any kind in or to any Confidential
Information.

 

(d) During
and after Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will hold in trust and confidence all Confidential Information,
and will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity, except in the course of performing duties assigned
by the Company or as authorized in writing by the Company. Executive further agrees that during and after Executive’s employment
with the Company, Executive will not use any Confidential Information for the benefit of any third party, except in the course
of performing duties assigned by the Company or as authorized in writing by the Company.

 

(e) Notwithstanding
the covenants in Section 6(d) above, Executive may disclose Confidential Information solely to the extent that Executive is required
to disclose such information by law, provided that Executive (i) notifies the Company of the existence and terms of such obligation,
(ii) gives the Company a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective or similar order to prevent or limit such disclosure, and
(iii) only discloses that information actually required to be disclosed.

 

(f) Nothing
in this Agreement is intended to or will prohibit Executive from communicating with any governmental authority, or making a report
in good faith and with a reasonable belief of any violations of law or regulation to a governmental authority, or from filing,
testifying or participating in a legal proceeding relating to such violations, including making disclosures protected or required
by any whistleblower law or regulation to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Labor, or any other appropriate
government authority charged with the enforcement of any applicable laws. In addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended to
or will limit any employee’s right to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, as protected
by applicable law. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual will not be held criminally or civilly liable
under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal,
state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting
or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding,
if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation
of law may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the
individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to
court order.

(g) Return
of Property. Upon request during employment and immediately at the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive will
return to the Company all Confidential Information in any form (including all copies and reproductions thereof) and all other property
whatsoever of the Company in Executive’s possession or under Executive’s control. If requested by the Company, Executive
will certify in writing that all such materials have been returned to the Company. Executive also expressly agrees that immediately
upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, Executive will cease using any secure website,
computer systems, e-mail system, or phone system or voicemail service provided by the Company for the use of its employees.

 

7. Assignment
of Inventions.

 

(a) Executive
agrees that all developments or inventions (including without limitation any and all software programs (source and object code),
algorithms and applications, concepts, designs, discoveries, improvements, processes, techniques, know-how and data) initiated,
conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by Executive, either alone or in conjunction with others, during his employment
with the Company that result from work performed by Executive for the Company or relate to the business of the Company, whether
or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection (“Inventions”),
will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company or its nominees. Executive will and hereby does assign to the Company all
rights in and to such Inventions upon the creation of any such Invention, including, without limitation: (i) patents, patent
applications and patent rights throughout the world; (ii) rights associated with works of authorship throughout the world, including
copyrights, copyright applications, copyright registrations, mask work rights, mask work applications and mask work registrations;
(iii) rights relating to the protection of trade secrets and confidential information throughout the world; (iv) rights analogous
to those set forth herein and any other proprietary rights relating to intangible property; and (v) divisions, continuations, renewals,
reissues and extensions of the foregoing (as applicable), now existing or hereafter filed, issued or acquired (collectively, the
“IP Rights”).

 

(b) For
avoidance of doubt, if any Invention falls within the definition of “work made for hire” as such term is defined in
17 U.S.C. § 101, such Invention(s) will be considered “work made for hire” and the copyright of such Invention(s)
will be owned solely and exclusively by the Company. If any Invention does not fall within such definition of “work made
for hire” then Executive’s right, title and interest in and to such Invention(s) will be assigned to the Company pursuant
to Section 7(a) above.

 

    8

     

    

 

(c) The
Company and its nominees will have the right to use and/or to apply for statutory or common law protections for such Inventions
in any and all countries. Executive further agrees, at the Company’s expense, to: (i) reasonably assist the Company in obtaining
and from time to time enforcing such IP Rights relating to Inventions, and (ii) execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee
upon reasonable request all such documents as the Company or its nominee may reasonably determine are necessary or appropriate
to effect the purposes of this Section 7, including assignments of inventions. Such documents may be necessary to: (1) vest in
the Company or its nominee clear and marketable title in and to Inventions; (2) apply for, prosecute and obtain patents, copyrights,
mask works rights and other rights and protections relating to Inventions; or (3) enforce patents, copyrights, mask works rights
and other rights and protections relating to Inventions. Executive’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7 will continue
beyond the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Company and its then-current Chief Executive Officer as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and in behalf and
instead of Executive, to execute and file any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution
and issuance of patents, trademarks, copyrights or other rights thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by
Executive, if the Company is unable for any reason to secure Executive’s signature to any lawful and necessary document required
to apply for or execute any patent, trademark, copyright or other applications with respect to any Inventions (including renewals,
extensions, continuations, divisions or continuations in part thereof).

 

(d) The
obligations of Executive under Section 7 above will not apply to any Invention that Executive developed entirely on Executive’s
own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information, except for those Inventions
that (i) relate to the Company’s Business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) result from
any work performed by Executive for Company. Executive will bear the burden of proof in establishing the applicability of this
subsection to a particular circumstance.

 

8. Restrictive
Covenants.

 

(a) Purpose.
Executive understands and agrees that the purpose of this Section 8 is solely to protect the Company’s legitimate business
interests, including, but not limited to its confidential and proprietary information, customer relationships and goodwill, and
the Company’s competitive advantage, and will not unduly impair Executive’s ability or right to work or earn a living.
Therefore, Executive agrees to be subject to restrictive covenants under the following terms.

 

(b) Definitions.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings given to such terms below.

 

(i) “Business”
means (A) providing technology, compliance, and/or security services to businesses in the cannabis industry; and (B) the business(es)
in which the Company was engaged at the time of, or during the twelve (12) month period prior to, the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason, provided that this clause (B) will only apply if Executive was materially involved
with such other business.

Employee” means any person who is or was an employee or consultant of the Company at the time of, or during the twelve
(12) month period prior to, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason.

of the Company in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company during such period, or about whom Executive received
Confidential Information.

 

(iv) “Prospective

(v) “Restricted
Period” means the period commencing on the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any
reason and ending eighteen (18) months after such date, provided, however, that this period will not run during any time Executive
is in violation of this Section 8, it being the intent of the parties that the Restricted Period will be extended for any period
of time in which Executive is in violation of this Section

 

(vi) “Restricted
Territory” means the United States of America. In the event that the preceding definition of Restricted Territory is
deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be too broad to be enforced under the circumstances, then “Restricted Territory”
will mean:

 

(A) the
State of Colorado;

 

(B) each
state, province, or similar political subdivision in which the Company engaged in material business at the time of, or during the
twelve (12) month period prior to, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason;

(c) Non-Competition.
During Executive’s employment with the Company and during the Restricted Period, Executive will not, on Executive’s
own behalf or on behalf of any other person, engage in any business competitive with or adverse to that of the Company. In addition,
during Executive’s employment with the Company and during the Restricted Period, Executive will not hold a position based
in or with responsibility for all or part of the Restricted Territory, with any person or entity engaging in the Business, whether
as employee, consultant, or otherwise, in which Executive will have duties, or will perform or be expected to perform services

or services actually performed by Executive for the Company within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination
of Executive’s employment with the Company, or in which Executive will use or disclose or be reasonably expected to use or
disclose any Confidential Information.

    11

     

    

 

(e) Executive
Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants in this Agreement (i) are essential elements
of Executive’s employment by the Company and are reasonable given Executive’s access to the Company’s Confidential
Information and the substantial knowledge and goodwill Executive will acquire with respect to the business of the Company as a
result of Executive’s employment with the Company, and the unique and extraordinary services to be provided by Executive
to the Company and (ii) are reasonable in time, territory, and scope, and in all other respects. Executive further acknowledges
and agrees that given his position, duties, and authority, Executive is “executive and management personnel” for purposes
of Section 8-2-113 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.

 

(f) Consideration.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Agreement are supported by adequate consideration, including,
but not limited to continued employment with the Company, the Company’s promise to pay separation benefits as described in
Section 5(b) above, and the Company’s other promises as described in this Agreement. The Company would not have agreed to
enter into this Agreement but for Executive’s agreement to the restrictions imposed by this Section 8.

 

(g) Judicial
Modification. Should any part or provision of this Section 8 be held invalid, void, or unenforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability will not render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part or
provision of this Agreement. The parties further agree that if any portion of this Section 8 is found to be invalid or unenforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, territory, or other restrictions are deemed to be invalid or unreasonable
in scope, the parties intend that the Court will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, replace the invalid or unreasonable terms
with terms that are valid and enforceable and that come closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable terms.

 

9. Enforcement.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company will suffer irreparable harm in the event that Executive breaches any of Executive’s
obligations under Sections 6, 7, or 8 of this Agreement and that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the Company
for such breach. Accordingly, Executive agrees that, in the event of a breach by Executive of any of Executive’s obligations
under Sections 6, 7, or 8 of this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction preliminary
and permanent injunctive relief in order to prevent or to restrain any such breach, without the need for posting bond or other
security. The Company will be entitled to recover its costs incurred in connection with any action to enforce Sections 6, 7, or
8 of this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

10. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements (whether written or oral and whether express or implied) between the parties to the extent related
to such subject matter.

 

(b) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, permitted
assigns and, in the case of Executive, heirs, executors, and/or personal representatives. The Company may freely assign or transfer
this Agreement to an affiliated company and must assign to a successor following a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or other
business transaction. Executive may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of Executive’s rights, interests or obligations
in this Agreement without the prior written approval of the Company.

 

    12

     

    

 

(c) Counterparts.

will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile or PDF reproductions of original signatures will be deemed binding for the
purpose of the execution of this Agreement.

 

(d) Notices.
Any notice pursuant to this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed effectively given to the other party on (i) the date
it is actually delivered by personal delivery of such notice in person; (ii) one day after deposit in the custody of a reputable
overnight courier service (such as FedEx); or (iii) three days after its deposit in the custody of the U.S. mail, certified or

(e) Amendments
and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement, including variations to the terms in Section 3, will be valid
unless the amendment is in writing and signed by the Company and Executive and approved pursuant to Section 3.10(j) of the Company’s
Investor Rights Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid unless the waiver is in writing and signed
by the waiving party. The failure of a party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will not affect
such party’s rights at a later time to enforce such provision. No waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement will
be deemed to extend to any other breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other breach.

 

(f) Severability.
Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision of this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement that
is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable will not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full
force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

 

(g) Construction.
The section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the interpretation of this
Agreement. The word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation.” This Agreement
will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Company and Executive and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring
or disfavoring the Company or Executive by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement. All words in this Agreement
will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require.

 

 

    13

all other rights and remedies available to such parties at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise.

law principles of any jurisdiction.

be brought exclusively in any state or federal court in Arapahoe County, Colorado. Each party (i) consents to the personal jurisdiction
of said courts, (ii) waives any venue or inconvenient forum defense to any proceeding maintained in such courts, and (iii) except
as expressly provided above, agrees not to bring any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executive’s
employment by Company in any other court.
