SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES

LAWS.”

 

    2

sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from

in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under
the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell
all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the

remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an event of default under Section 3.4 of the

reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934
Act (the filing of a Form 15 is an immediate Event of Default).

 

h.  
Right of First Refusal. Unless it shall have first delivered to the Buyer, at least forty eight (48) hours prior to the
closing of such Future Offering (as defined herein), written notice describing the proposed Future Offering (“ROFR Notice”),
including the terms and conditions thereof, identity of the proposed purchaser and proposed definitive documentation to be entered
into in connection therewith, and providing the Buyer an option during the twenty-four (24) hour period following delivery of
such notice to purchase the securities being offered in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering
(the limitations referred to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Right of First
Refusal”), the Company will not conduct any equity (or debt with an equity component) financing in an amount less than $100,000
(“Future Offering(s)”) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending six (6) months following the Closing
Date. In the event the terms and conditions of a proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of the notice
to the Buyer concerning the proposed Future Offering, the Company shall deliver a new notice to the Buyer describing the amended
terms and conditions of the proposed Future Offering and the Buyer thereafter shall have an option during the twenty-four (24)
hour period following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro rata share of the securities being offered on the same terms
as contemplated by such proposed Future Offering, as amended. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any subsequent
offer by an investor, or an affiliate of such investor, identified on an ROFR Notice is subject to this Section 4(h) and the Right
of First Refusal. If Buyer does not exercise its ROFR, Company can continue with its proposed Future Offering.

 

5.  
Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates,
registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by
the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”).  In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior
to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered
pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved
Amount as such term is defined in the Note) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company. Prior to registration
of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from
registration, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(e) of this Agreement.  The Company
warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be
given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to
transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form)
any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when
required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or
impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions
in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant
to the Note as and when required by the Note and/or this Agreement.  If the Buyer provides the Company and the Company’s
transfer, at the cost of the Buyer, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable
transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933
Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to
issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. 
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Change

A
“Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, after the Effective Date, (i) the beneficial ownership
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities
representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company is acquired by any “person” as defined in
sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company), (ii) the merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another corporation where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger,
would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the combined voting power of the
securities of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent
corporation, if any) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such merger
or consolidation, or (iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity,
other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least
50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by shareholders of the
Company, immediately prior to the sale or disposition, in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company
immediately prior to such sale or disposition. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the issuance of additional
equity from numerous sources in connection with a capital raise by the Company shall not be a Change of Control. However, if
a single investor or small group of related investors acting in one or a series of transactions, provide capital so as to
take control of the Company (more than 50%), it shall be a change of control. For example, if a private equity firm(s) or a
strategic investor invest significant capital into the Company resulting in their equity being in excess of 50%, it shall be
a change of control.

 

    5

     

    

 

(a) If
a change of control, as defined above, occurs during the term of this Agreement, all unvested stock options/grants of the Executive
shall vest in full, and Mr. Pugliese shall be paid a change of control payment equal to two times his current minimum Base Salary
upon the closing of the Change of Control transaction;

 

(b) Upon
the closing of a Change of Control event and the payment referenced in the prior paragraph, this Employment Agreement shall terminate

 

Non-Competition;
Non-Interference

 

(a) In
consideration of the numerous mutual promises contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation , those involving Confidential
Information (as defined below) and in order to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, including the business and
customer goodwill and the Company’s Confidential Information, and to reduce the likelihood of irreparable damage which would occur
in the event such information is provided to or used by a competitor of the Company, Mr. Pugliese covenants and agrees that during
his employment by the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the date of Mr. Pugliese’s termination, he shall
not anywhere within the State of Texas or any other state where the Company or any affiliate is doing business at the time of
termination, directly or indirectly compete in any way against CBond.

 

(b) Mr.
Pugliese agrees that, at any time during his employment by the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the
date of Mr. Pugliese’s termination, he will not:

 

 (i) Request, solicit or induce, or attempt to request, solicit or induce, any employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave or terminate his or his relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates for any reason whatsoever or hire or attempt to hire any such employee, consultant or contractor of the Company or any of its affiliates. Or;

 

 (ii) Interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or any of its affiliates and any customer, supplier, lessor, lessee, employee, subcontractor or other employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or in any way encourage them to terminate or otherwise alter their relationship with the Company or its affiliate.

 

    6

     

    

 

Non-Disclosure
of Confidential Information

 

Mr.
Pugliese and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Company will provide and Mr. Pugliese will receive and have access to
new and developing Confidential Information during the term of his employment under this Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Confidential
Information” is any formula, pattern, patent, IP, device or compilation of information which is used in the Company’s business,
and which gives the Company an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it and includes, but
is not limited to, proprietary technology, operating procedures and methods of operations, financial statements and other financial
information, trade secrets, market studies and forecasts, competitive analyses, target markets, advertising techniques, pricing
policies and information, the substance of agreements with customers, subcontractors and others, marketing and similar arrangements,
servicing and training programs and arrangements, customer and subcontractor lists, customer profiles, customer preferences, other
trade secrets and any other documents embodying confidential and proprietary information. Mr. Pugliese acknowledges that sharing
this Confidential Information with third parties would be detrimental to the Company and could place the Company at a competitive
disadvantage. Mr. Pugliese shall not, during the term of this Agreement, or at any time thereafter, disclose directly or indirectly,
to any person or entity, any Confidential Information acquired by him during the course of or as an incident to his employment
hereunder. The foregoing restrictions and obligations under this Section:

 

(a)
shall not apply to:

 

(i)
any Confidential Information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Mr.
Pugliese that Mr. Pugliese has no reason to believe resulted from an unauthorized disclosure,

 

(ii)
any information obtained by Mr. Pugliese from a third party which Mr. Pugliese has no reason to believe is violating any obligation
of confidentiality to the Company, or

 

 (iii) any information Mr. Pugliese is required by law to disclose. In the event that Mr. Pugliese is requested in any proceeding to disclose any Confidential Information, Mr. Pugliese agrees to give the Company prompt written notice of such request and the documents requested thereby so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. It is further agreed that if, in the absence of a protective order, Mr. Pugliese is nonetheless compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Mr. Pugliese may disclose such information to such tribunal without liability hereunder; provided, however, that Mr. Pugliese must give the Company written notice of the information to be disclosed (including copies of the relevant portions of the relevant documents) as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable, use all reasonable efforts to limit any such disclosure to the precise terms of such requirement and use all reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

 

(a) All
Confidential Information and documents relating to the Company as described above shall be the exclusive property of the Company,
and Mr. Pugliese shall use his efforts to prevent any publication or disclosure thereof. Upon termination of Mr. Pugliese’s employment
with the Company (for whatever reason) or upon the request of the Company, all documents, records, reports, writings and other
similar documents containing confidential information, including written or electronic copies thereof, then in Mr. Pugliese’s
possession or control shall be immediately returned to the Company.

 

    7

     

    

 

Remedies

 

(a) Mr.
Pugliese acknowledges that the foregoing covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Business, existing, developing
and new confidential and proprietary information and existing, developing and new goodwill of the Company and its affiliates.
It is the express intention of the parties hereto to comply with all laws that may be applicable in this agreement. It is the
express intention of the Company to restrict Mr. Pugliese’s activities only to the extent necessary to protect the legitimate
business interests of the Company and its subsidiaries. Mr. Pugliese acknowledges and agrees that the time, geographic, and other
restrictions in this agreement are only as broad as reasonably necessary to protect the Confidential Information and goodwill
of the Company, that such restrictions have been tailored to protect the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and of
the public without imposing undue hardship on Mr. Pugliese. Nevertheless, should any restriction contained in this agreement be
found to exceed in time, scope or space the restriction permitted by Law, it is expressly agreed that the covenants contained
in this agreement as applicable, shall be reformed or modified by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to reflect
enforceable duration, scope and space.

 

(b) Mr.
Pugliese recognizes that his breach of any of the provisions of this agreement would result in serious harm and irreparable damage
to the Company for which monetary damages might not be an adequate remedy and that the amount of such damages may be difficult
to determine. Therefore, if Mr. Pugliese breaches any provision in this agreement, then the Company shall be entitled to injunctive
relief. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative in nature and the exercise of one shall not preclude
the exercise of any other remedy at law or in equity for the same event or any other event.

 

Amendment
or Alteration

 

No
amendment or alteration of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by both of the parties
hereto.

 

Governing
Law

 

This
Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas, without application of the conflict of laws principles
thereof.

 

Arbitration

 

Any
controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Mr. Pugliese’s employment by the Company, including,
but not limited to, common law and statutory claims for discrimination, wrongful discharge, and unpaid wages, shall be resolved
by arbitration in Houston, Texas pursuant to then-prevailing National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American
Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators, with one arbitrator selected by each Party and
the third arbitrator selected by the two arbitrators so selected by the Parties. The arbitrators shall be bound to follow the
applicable Agreement provisions in adjudicating the dispute. It is agreed by both Parties that the arbitrators’ decision is final,
and that no Party may take any action, judicial or administrative, to overturn such decision. The judgment rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in the Selected Courts. Each Party will pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrators
will be equally shared provided that, if in the opinion of the arbitrators any claim, defense, or argument raised in the arbitration
was unreasonable, the arbitrators may assess all or part of the expenses of the other Party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
and of the arbitrators as the arbitrators deem appropriate. The arbitrators may not award either Party punitive or consequential
damages.

 

    8

     

    

 

Indemnification

 

During
the Term, Mr. Pugliese shall be entitled to indemnification and insurance coverage for directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary
liability and other liabilities arising out of Mr. Pugliese’s position with the Company in any capacity, in an amount not less
than the highest amount available to any other senior level member or member of the Board and to the full extent provided by the
Company’ s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, and such coverage and protections, with respect to the various liabilities
as to which Mr. Pugliese has been customarily indemnified prior to termination of employment, shall continue for at least six
years following termination. Any indemnification agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Pugliese shall continue in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms following the termination of this Agreement.

 

Severability

 

If
any one or more of the provisions, or portions of any provision, of the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or parts hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.

All
notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party, or by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by email with return receipt requested and received or nationally
recognized overnight courier service, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as either Party shall have furnished

been duly given (i) when delivered by hand, if personally delivered, (ii) when delivered by courier or overnight mail, if delivered
by commercial courier service or overnight mail, and (iii) on receipt of confirmed delivery, if sent by email.

 

Waiver
or Breach.

 

It
is agreed that a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party. No waiver shall be valid unless in writing.

provided herein, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives.

(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
