copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein
(unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself). The Seller Disclosure
Schedule will be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs contained in this Section 3.

 

3.1
Due Organization, Authorization and Good Standing.

 

3.1.1
Seller. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Georgia. Seller is qualified
to do business and is in good standing as a foreign Person, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of

its obligations under this Agreement.

the applicable terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall govern.

 

3.2

conversion privileges, stock purchase plans or other contractual obligations which obligate Seller to offer, issue, purchase or
redeem any equity or other interest of GFD or other ownership interest or debt or other securities convertible into or exchangeable

or which provides for any equity appreciation or similar right.

Property; or (ii), the present use, management, handling, transport, treatment, generation, storage, disposal or release of any
Hazardous Material. There are no pending or threatened Proceedings of any nature resulting from any Environmental, Health and

to demand or require such renegotiation and no such Person has made written demand for such renegotiation. Each Contract relating

as the form attached in Exhibit 6.5 hereto (“Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which

laws, Buyer shall within two (2) business days instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and
in such denominations as specified by Seller, subject only to the restrictions stated in the Series G Certificate of Designations,
and otherwise herein. Buyer acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Seller
by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.7 will be inadequate, and hereby agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Buyer of the provisions of this Section 6.7, that the Seller shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Stock, Seller Conversion Shares, and any and all amounts and shares due and payable thereunder, or which may otherwise be due
and payable under any other Transaction Document.

7.2
Confidentiality. The term “Confidential Information” shall mean that information of a Party (“Disclosing
Party”) which is disclosed to another Party (“Receiving Party”) pursuant to this Agreement, and shall
include, but not be limited to, trade secrets, know-how, inventions, techniques, processes, algorithms, software programs, schematics,
designs, contracts, customer lists, financial information, sales and marketing plans and business information. The Parties agree
that the term “Confidential Information” shall also be construed to include the existence and identity of specific
third parties named in the Seller Disclosure Schedule that were, are, or which may become party to one or more agreements, transactions,
disputes, or litigation involving GFD, and the existence and nature of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Proprietary
Matters”). The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that any disclosure of Confidential Information involving Proprietary
Matters could materially adversely effect the relationship or rights of GFD in connection with such matters, and that, notwithstanding
anything stated herein to the contrary, no disclosure of Confidential Information involving Proprietary Matters shall be made
by any Party without the express written consent of the other Parties hereto unless as may be required by law, and, even then,
on a need-to-disclose basis after exhausting all available confidential treatment and such other options to prevent general public
disclosure. Each Party acknowledges that in the course of the performance of this Agreement, it may obtain the Confidential Information
of the other Party. The Receiving Party shall, at all times, both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, keep in confidence
and trust all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information received by it. The Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party other than as expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement or by a separate written
agreement. The Receiving Party shall take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of the Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information and to prevent it from falling into the public domain or into the possession of unauthorized persons.
The Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any person or entity other than its
officers, employees, consultants and permitted sublicensees who need access to such Confidential Information in order to effect
the intent of this Agreement and who have entered into confidentiality agreements with such person’s employer which protects
the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall promptly give notice to the Disclosing Party of
any unauthorized use or disclosure of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees to assist
the Disclosing Party to remedy such unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information, which remedies shall include
injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond or proving damages. These obligations shall not apply to the extent
that Confidential Information includes information which: is already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure, which
knowledge the Receiving Party shall have the burden of proving; is, or, through no act or failure to act of the Receiving Party,
becomes publicly known; is received by the Receiving Party from a third party without restriction on disclosure; is independently
developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, which independent
development the Receiving Party will have the burden of proving; is approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing
Party; is required to be disclosed by a government agency to further the objectives of this Agreement, by a proper order of a
court of competent jurisdiction, or is required to be disclosed by law or pursuant to the requirements of a recognized stock exchange;
provided, however that the Receiving Party will use its best efforts to minimize such disclosure and will consult with and assist
the Disclosing Party in obtaining a protective order prior to such disclosure. For avoidance of doubt, no public disclosure shall
be made by any Party hereto at any time in the absence of the prior written consent of each of the other Parties hereto, including
pursuant to any applicable requirement to file a current report on Form 8K, or other regulatory disclosure in connection with
the execution hereof.

In addition to its indemnification obligations under Section 7.3.3, Seller hereby covenant and agree that, to the fullest

assets or Business, or (b), from any Hazardous Material that was present or suspected to be present on or before the Closing Date
on or at the Properties (or present or suspected to be present on any other property, if such Hazardous Material emanated or allegedly
emanated from any Property and was present or suspected to be present on any Property, on or prior to the Closing Date), or Released
or allegedly Released by Seller, GFD, their Related Persons, or any Person, on or at any of the Properties or GFD Assets at any
time on or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer, either directly or through GFD, will be entitled to control any Remedial Action,
any Proceeding relating to a claim that any Environmental Law has been violated and any other Proceeding with respect to which
indemnity may be sought under this Section 7.3.

 

7.3.4
Time Limitations.

 

7.3.4.1
For purposes of this Agreement, a Buyer Indemnified Person may only assert a claim for indemnification under Section 7.3.3
during the applicable period of time (the “Buyer Claims Period”) commencing on the date of this Agreement and
continuing until the date that is TWO (2) YEARS after the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to any such
indemnification claim regarding the Breach by Seller of any obligation hereunder, the Transaction Documents or under any related
agreement that is intended to survive and continue after the Closing, the Buyer Claims Period will continue for as long as such
obligation is outstanding.

 

7.3.4.2
For purposes of this Agreement, a Seller Indemnified Person may only assert a claim for indemnification under Section 7.3.2
during the applicable period of time (the “Seller Claims Period”) commencing on the date of this Agreement
and continuing until the date that is TWO (2) YEARS after the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to any
such indemnification claim regarding the Breach by Buyer of any obligation hereunder or under any related agreement that is intended
to survive and continue after the Closing, the Seller Claims Period will continue for as long as such obligation is outstanding.

 

7.3.4.3
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, if before 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the last day of the applicable
Buyer Claims Period or Seller Claims Period, any Party against which an indemnification claim has been made hereunder has been
properly notified in writing of such claim for indemnity hereunder and the basis thereof, including with reasonable supporting
details for such claim (to the extent then known), and such claim has not been finally resolved or disposed of as of such date,
then such claim will continue to survive and will remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved
or disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

    	 	17

     

    

 

7.3.5
Payment of Claims. A claim for indemnification may be asserted by written notice to the Party from whom indemnification
is sought and will be paid promptly after such notice, together with satisfactory proof of Adverse Consequences or other documents
evidencing the basis of the Adverse Consequences sought, are received.

 

7.3.6
Third-Party Claims. No later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section
7 hereof (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified
Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such section (an “Indemnifying Person”)
of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim and a copy of any writing by which, such Third-Party assertion is made. The failure
to notify the Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person
to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is materially prejudiced by
the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice. If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person hereunder
of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party
Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim
is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii), the Indemnifying
Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim
and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (provided, such counsel has appropriate experience in the subject matter relating
to the claim). After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such
Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified
Person hereunder for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in
each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than
reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such assumption will
conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and
subject to indemnification, and no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person
without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or
any violation of the rights of any Person, the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying
Person; and, the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims
effected without its Consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion
of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice
is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified
Person.

 

7.3.6.1
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that
a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would
be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume
the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any
determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected
without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

 

7.3.6.2
Seller hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim
is brought against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may have under this
Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller with respect
to such a claim anywhere in the world.

 

7.3.6.3
With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Section 7, both the Indemnified Person and the
Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and
any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel; and the parties agree (each
at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good
faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

 

    	 	18

     

    

 

7.3.6.4
With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Section 7, the parties agree to cooperate in such
a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client
and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: it will use its best efforts, in respect of any
Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent
with applicable law and rules of procedure); and all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating
in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client
or work-product privilege.

 

7.3.7
Other Remedies. The foregoing right of any setoff provisions, holdback provisions and indemnification provisions are
in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any Party may have in connection with
this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

Such remedies are not the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 6, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Ultra.

7.
	
Inventions. 

	
 
	
(a)
	
Executive shall hold any Inventions (as defined below) in trust for the benefit of Ultra, Executive shall disclose any Inventions promptly and fully to Ultra in writing, and Executive hereby assigns any Inventions, and binds his heirs, executors, and administrators to assign any Inventions, to Ultra or its designee.

Further, all works of authorship created by Executive, solely or jointly with others, shall be considered works made for hire under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, and shall be owned entirely by Ultra.

	
 
	
(c)
	
As used herein, “Inventions” means any and all inventions, discoveries, ideas, concepts, improvements, works of authorship (including copyrightable works), and other developments that are conceived, made, discovered or developed by Executive, solely or jointly with others, during the term of his employment by Ultra, whether during or outside of usual working hours and whether on Ultra’s premises or not, to the extent any of the foregoing relate in any manner to the past, present or anticipated business of Ultra or any of the Subsidiaries.

18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.” Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected 

Page 10 of 15

 

 

	
 
		
violation of law. The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

	
8.
	
Cooperation and Assistance. During a three-year period following a Termination Date, at Ultra’s request Executive will reasonably cooperate in connection with any litigation or other fact-finding or adjudicative proceedings involving Ultra or any Subsidiary, provided Executive is not required to travel beyond the city or town where Executive then lives or to provide assistance that unreasonably interferes with Executive’s employment or other activities or endeavors and Executive is not required to provide over 50 hours assistance during any 12-month period. Ultra will pay Executive a reasonable hourly rate for Executive’s assistance, reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive in connection with rendering such assistance, and provide Executive counsel reasonably suitable to Executive to represent Executive in connection with providing such assistance if Executive reasonably requests.

	
9.
	
Protected Disclosures and Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to impede Executive (or any other individual) from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Executive does not need the prior authorization of Ultra to make any such reports or disclosures and Executive shall not be required to notify Ultra that such reports or disclosures have been made. 

	
10.
	
Non-Competition. Executive expressly covenants and agrees that, without the prior written consent of Ultra, during a one-year period beginning on the Termination Date (as determined pursuant to the terms hereof) and ending on the first anniversary of such Termination Date, Executive shall not participate or engage in, directly or indirectly (as an owner, partner, employee, officer, director, independent contractor, consultant, advisor or in any other capacity calling for the rendition of services, advice, or acts of management, operation or control) any business for a Competitor (as defined below) anywhere within (i) Sublette County, Wyoming, (ii) Uintah County, Utah or (iii) twenty miles of any properties owned by the Company in the United States on the Termination Date.

Page 11 of 15

 

 

	
12.
	
Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees not to make or publish any Disparaging Remarks (as defined below) to any other person about: (i) Ultra or any Subsidiary; (ii) any business conducted by Ultra or any Subsidiary; or (iii) any past or present member of Ultra’s management or board of directors in their capacity as such. As used herein, the term “Disparaging Remarks” means any statement, whether written or oral, that has the intention or tendency to degrade, diminish, or harm the reputation or standing of an individual or entity in the estimation of a community, including by deterring or having a tendency to deter others from associating, employing, or otherwise dealing with them.

	
13.
	
Reasonableness of Covenants. In signing this Agreement, Executive gives Ultra assurance that Executive has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under Section 6 though Section 12. Executive agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of Ultra and its affiliates and their Confidential Information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect of subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which Executive is bound by the restraints. Executive acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to Ultra and its affiliates and that Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. Executive further covenants that Executive will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants and that the Executive will reimburse Ultra and its affiliates for all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any action to enforce any of the provisions of Sections 6 through Section 12 if either Ultra and/or its affiliates prevails on any material issue involved in such dispute or if Executive challenges the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the provisions of Section 6 through Section 12. It is also agreed that each of Ultra’s affiliates will have the right to enforce all of Executive’s obligations to that affiliate under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to Section 6 through Section 12. Upon Executive’s material breach of the provisions of Section 6 through Section 12, Executive will be required to repay the Severance Payment to Ultra.

	
14.
	
Reformation. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 6 through Section 12 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.

	
15.
	
Tolling. In the event of any violation of the provisions of Section 6 through Section 12, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 6 through Section 12 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post-termination restriction period shall be tolled during any period of such violation.

	
16.
	
Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Section 6 through Section 12 hereof shall survive the termination or expiration of the Employment Period and Executive’s employment with Ultra and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

SCHEDULE 1

TAX MATTERS

	
I.
	
General Provisions.

	
 
	
(A)
	
All compensation paid or awarded to Executive hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding, payroll and other taxes. Accordingly, with respect to any payment to be made to Executive, Ultra shall deduct, where applicable, any amounts authorized by Executive, and shall withhold and report all amounts required to be withheld and reported by applicable law.

	
 
	
(B)
	
Capitalized terms used in this Schedule 1 but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Employment Agreement to which this Schedule 1 is attached and into which it is incorporated.

	
 
	
(C)
	
The term “Code,” as used herein, means the Title 26 of the United States Code, commonly referred to as the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

	
II.
	
Regarding Excise Taxes.

	
 
	
(A)
	
If Executive is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which Executive has the right to receive from Ultra or any Subsidiary, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by Executive from Ultra and its affiliates will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Executive shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes).

	
 
	
(B)
	
The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order.

	
 
	
(C)
	
The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by Ultra in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from Ultra (or its affiliates) used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Executive’s base amount, then Executive shall immediately repay such excess to Ultra upon notification that an overpayment has been made.

Schedule 1 – Page 1 of 4

 

 

	
 
	
(D)
	
Nothing in this Agreement, including the foregoing paragraphs (A) through (C), shall require Ultra to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, Executive’s excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code, if any.

REGARDING CODE SECTION 409A

	
III.
	
Statement of Intent. The provisions of this Schedule 1 shall apply solely to the extent that a payment under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). The intent of the parties to this Agreement is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A including, but not limited to, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5), and 1.409A-(b)(9) and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. The commencement of payment or provision of any payment or benefit under this Agreement shall be deferred to the minimum extent necessary to prevent the imposition of any excise taxes on Ultra or Executive.

	
IV.
	
Notification; Reformation. If Executive receives advice, from an attorney with demonstrable tax expertise, that any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A (with specificity as to the reason therefor), and notifies Ultra thereof, or if Ultra independently makes such determination, then Ultra may, to the extent possible and after consulting with Executive, reform such provision to try to comply with Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Executive and Ultra of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A.

	
V.
	
Annual Cash Incentive Payments. Any Cash Incentive that Executive is awarded or becomes entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Agreement will be paid during the calendar year immediately following the calendar year to which such Cash Incentive relates and will be paid to Executive as soon as administratively feasible following preparation of Ultra’s unaudited financial statements for the applicable calendar year.

	
VI.
	
Separation from Service.

	
 
	
(A)
	
If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to Executive under this Agreement in connection with a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i)) is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) and Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A(2)(B)(i)) at the time of the separation from service, then notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, no part of any such payments shall be paid to Executive before the earlier of (i) the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the date of the separation from service (the “New Payment Date”), (ii) the date of Executive’s death, or (iii) any date that otherwise complies with Section 409A.

	
 
	
(B)
	
The aggregate of any payments and benefits that otherwise would have been paid and/or provided to Executive during the period between the date of the separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum on the date Ultra’s first regular payroll is made following the New Payment Date, and no interest will be paid
