		(d)	Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s
employment without Cause at any time after providing written notice to Executive. A termination of employment upon the Expiration Date
shall not be deemed to be a termination without Cause.

 

		(e)	Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate his
employment under this Agreement without Good Reason after providing not less than sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to the
Company.

of which the Company must be provided a period of sixty (60) days during which it may remedy the condition and not be required to pay
any amounts as set forth in Section 6 below for a Termination by Executive with Good Reason. A termination of employment upon the Expiration
Date shall not be deemed to be a termination by Executive for Good Reason.

 

		(g)	Termination Upon Expiration of the Agreement. Unless terminated earlier
pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically expire on the Expiration Date.

This Agreement supplements the Plan and any Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or other documents that may be executed in connection
with it. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement signed by both Parties and, in the case of the Company,

    6 

     

    

 

		13.	GOVERNING LAW

 

This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any conflicts or choice

under this Agreement shall be brought in state or federal court in Palm Beach County, Florida. Executive agrees and acknowledges that
this is a proper and convenient forum and will not raise objections to this venue based on inconvenient forum, improper venue or similar
grounds.

 

		14.	SECTION 409A
	 	 	 

		(a)	Although the Company does not guarantee the tax treatment of any payments under
the Agreement, the intent of the Parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from, or comply with, Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all Treasury Regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Code
Section 409A”) and to the maximum extent permitted the Agreement shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with
such intent. In no event whatsoever shall the Company or its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents be
liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply
with Code Section 409A.

 

		(b)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the
extent that any reimbursement of expenses constitutes “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, such reimbursement
shall be provided no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed
in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year. The amount of any in-kind benefits provided
in one year shall not affect the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other year.

 

		(c)	For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), the right to receive payments in the form of installment payments shall be treated
as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate
and distinct payment. Whenever a payment under this Agreement may be paid within a specified period, the actual date of payment within
the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

 

		(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the
time of Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Code Section 409A), Executive is a “Specified Employee,”
then the Company will defer the payment or commencement of any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A payable
upon separation from service (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the
date that is six (6) months following separation from service or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is permitted under Code Section
409A (and any amounts that otherwise would have been paid during this deferral period will be paid in a lump sum on the day after the
expiration of the six (6) month period or such shorter period, if applicable). Executive will be a “Specified Employee” for
purposes of this Agreement if, on the date of Executive’s separation from service, Executive is an individual who is, under the
method of determination adopted by the Company designated as, or within the category of employees deemed to be, a “Specified Employee”
within the meaning and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). The Company shall determine in its sole discretion
all matters relating to who is a “Specified Employee” and the application of and effects of the change in such determination.

 

    7 

     

    

 

		(e)	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, a termination
of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts
or benefits that constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A upon or following
a termination of the Employee’s employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning
of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination
of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service” and the date of such separation from service shall
be the date of termination for purposes of any such payment or benefits.

 

		15.	LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS
	 	 	 

		(a)	In the event that any payments and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable
to Executive (i)
constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 15, would
be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then any post-termination severance benefits payable under this Agreement
or otherwise will be either:

 

		(i)	delivered in full, or
	 	 	 

		(ii)	delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits
being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code,
	 	 	 

		(iii)	whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state
and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest
amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.

 

		(b)	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: (i)
                                                                                                     reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards (by cutting back performance-based awards
                                                                                                     first and then time-based awards, based on reverse order of vesting dates (rather
than grant dates)), if applicable; and (iii) reduction of employee benefits.

 

    8 

     

    

 

		(c)	Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination
required under this Section 15 will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants or by such other person or
entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive
and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 15, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations
concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999
of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order
to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated
by this Section 15.

plan, supplemental executive retirement plan, medical and dental benefits plan, life insurance plan, short-term and long- term disability
plans, supplemental and/or incentive compensation plans, or any other employee benefit or fringe benefit plan, generally made available
by the Company to executives in accordance with the eligibility and participation requirements of such plans, as well as vacation and
sick time in accordance with Company policy, and to the extent that there is any variance between the language of the relevant plan and

		5.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
	 	 	 

Executive’s employment
under this Agreement may be terminated under any of the circumstances set forth in this Section 5. Upon
termination, Executive (or his beneficiary or estate, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits
described in Section 6 below, and, if applicable, Section 7 below. Upon any termination of employment hereunder, the Company’s
acting Facilities Security Officer shall notify Executive’s security clearance sponsor, if any, of Executive’s change in
status.

 

		(a)	Death. Executive’s employment shall terminate upon Executive’s death.
	 	 	 

		(b)	Total Disability. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment
upon him becoming “Totally Disabled.” For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Totally Disabled”
means the Executive is unable to perform the normal duties and responsibilities he was performing prior to the onset of any sickness,
injury or disability, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days with no reasonable
prospect of returning to a normal work schedule within a reasonable period of time. A determination of whether the Executive is Totally
Disabled shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion, based on then-available information provided by Executive. If the Company
has short-term and long-term disability plans, then the Executive’s compensation during the period in which he is Totally Disabled
shall be exclusively governed by such plans.

 

		(c)	Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s
employment for Cause at any time after providing written notice to Executive, if after providing Executive with notice of the breach,
Executive fails to cure the breach, if curable, within seven (7) days after receipt of the notice of breach. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term “Cause” shall mean:

 

		(i)	conviction or plea of no lo contendere of any felony;
	 	 	 

		(ii)	deliberate and repeated refusal to perform the customary and legal employment duties
reasonably related to his Position (other than as a result of vacation, sickness, illness or injury);
	 	 	 

		(iii)	in the good faith judgment of the Company, fraud or embezzlement of Company property or assets;
	 	 	 

		(iv)	willful misconduct or gross negligence with respect to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries that may, in the good faith judgment of the Company, result in a breach of trust or have a material adverse effect on the
Company; or

 

		(v)	a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
	 	 	 

		(d)	Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s
employment without Cause at any time after providing written notice to Executive. A termination of employment upon the Expiration Date
shall not be deemed to be a termination without Cause.

 

    3 

     

    

 

		(e)	Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate his
employment under this Agreement without Good Reason after providing not less than sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to the
Company.

 

		(f)	Termination by Executive with Good Reason. Executive may terminate his
employment under this Agreement for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean termination
by the Executive within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of one of the conditions described below which occurs without the Executive’s
consent: (i) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary; (ii) material diminution in the Executive’s authority,
duties, or responsibilities as compared to those on the date of this Agreement; (iii) a change of more than 75 miles in the geographic
location at which the Executive must perform the services under this Agreement; (iv) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material
breach of the Agreement by the Company. In order to terminate for Good Reason, the Executive must provide notice to the Company of the
existence of the applicable condition described above within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of the condition, upon the notice
of which the Company must be provided a period of sixty (60) days during which it may remedy the condition and not be required to pay
any amounts as set forth in Section 6 below for a Termination by Executive with Good Reason. A termination of employment upon the Expiration
Date shall not be deemed to be a termination by Executive for Good Reason.

 

		(g)	Termination Upon Expiration of the Agreement. Unless terminated earlier
pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically expire on the Expiration Date.
	 	 	 

		6.	COMPENSATION FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

 

Upon termination of Executive’s employment under
this Agreement, Executive (or his designated beneficiary or estate, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the following compensation:

 

		(a)	Earned but Unpaid Compensation, Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall pay
Executive any accrued but unpaid Base Salary for services rendered to the date of termination, any accrued but unpaid expenses required
to be reimbursed under this Agreement, and any vacation accrued but unused to the date of termination.

 

		(b)	Other Compensation and Benefits. Except as may be provided under this Agreement,

the termination occurs, paid in a lump sum within seventy (70) days following Executive’s termination;
	 	 	 

		(iii)	All the outstanding equity awards granted to Executive by the Company or any affiliates
shall become immediately vested in full as of the date of Executive’s termination, provided that this acceleration provision shall
not apply to any equity award that has not been outstanding for at least twelve (12) months as of the date of Executive’s termination
of employment; plus

COBRA, and (y) Executive’s continued copayment of premiums at the same level and cost to Executive as if Executive were an employee
of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), continued
payment by the Company of his health, dental, and vision insurance coverage during the eighteen (18) month period following the date of
termination to the same extent that the Company paid for such coverage immediately prior to the date of termination, in a manner intended
to avoid any excise tax under Section 4980D of the Internal Revenue Code, subject to the eligibility requirements and other terms and
conditions of such insurance plans then in place.

 

    5 

     

    

 

		8.	RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

the course of employment with the Company, Executive has and will come into contact with and have access to various forms of confidential

or similar agreements between Executive and the Company and any affiliates.

 

		9.	WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

 

The Company shall withhold from
any compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement all applicable federal, state, local, or other taxes.

 

		10.	NO CLAIM AGAINST ASSETS

 

Nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed as giving Executive any claim against any specific assets of the Company or as imposing any trustee relationship upon the
Company in respect of Executive. The Company shall not be required to establish a special or separate fund or to segregate any of its
assets in order to provide for the satisfaction of its obligations under this Agreement. Executive’s rights under this Agreement
shall be limited to those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company and its affiliates.

 

		11.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

 

Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, representatives,
successors and assigns. The Company agrees that in the event the Company engages in any corporate transaction in which it is not the surviving
entity, it will require any successor to the Company to be bound by this Agreement. The rights and benefits of Executive under this Agreement
are personal to him and no such right or benefit shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment or transfer; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude Executive from designating a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit
payable on his death.

 

		12.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT

 

Other than the Confidentiality
Agreement signed by Executive and annexed hereto, and any agreements and plans related to any equity granted to Executive by the Company
or an affiliate, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, this Agreement shall supersede any and all existing oral or written
agreements, representations, or warranties between Executive and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities relating
to the terms of Executive’s employment. This Agreement supplements the Plan and any Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or other documents
that may be executed in connection with it. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement signed by both Parties and,
in the case of the Company, signed by an officer or director of the Company.

 

    6 

     

    

 

		13.	GOVERNING LAW

 

This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any conflicts or choice
of laws rule or provision that would result in the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute
under this Agreement shall be brought in state or federal court in Palm Beach County, Florida. Executive agrees and acknowledges that
this is a proper and convenient forum and will not raise objections to this venue based on inconvenient forum, improper venue or similar
grounds.

 

		14.	SECTION 409A
	 	 	 

		(a)	Although the Company does not guarantee the tax treatment of any payments under
the Agreement, the intent of the Parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from, or comply with, Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all Treasury Regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Code
Section 409A”) and to the maximum extent permitted the Agreement shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with
such intent. In no event whatsoever shall the Company or its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents be
liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply
with Code Section 409A.

 

		(b)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the
extent that any reimbursement of expenses constitutes “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, such reimbursement
shall be provided no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed
in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year. The amount of any in-kind benefits provided
in one year shall not affect the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other year.

 

		(c)	For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), the right to receive payments in the form of installment payments shall be treated
as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate
and distinct payment. Whenever a payment under this Agreement may be paid within a specified period, the actual date of payment within
the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

 

		(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the
time of Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Code Section 409A), Executive is a “Specified Employee,”
then the Company will defer the payment or commencement of any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A payable
upon separation from service (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date
that is six (6) months following separation from service or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is permitted under Code Section 409A
(and any amounts that otherwise would have been paid during this deferral period will be paid in a lump sum on the day after the expiration
of the six (6) month period or such shorter period, if applicable). Executive
will be a “Specified Employee” for purposes of this Agreement if, on the date of Executive’s separation from service,
Executive is an individual who is, under the method of determination adopted by the Company designated as, or within the category of employees
deemed to be, a “Specified Employee” within the meaning and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). The
Company shall determine in its sole discretion all matters relating to who is a “Specified Employee” and the application of
and effects of the change in such determination.

 

    7 

     

    

 

		(e)	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, a termination
of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts
or benefits that constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A upon or following
a termination of the Employee’s employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning
of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination
of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service” and the date of such separation from service shall
be the date of termination for purposes of any such payment or benefits.

 

		15.	LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS
	 	 	 

		(a)	In the event that any payments and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable
to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 15, would
be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then any post-termination severance benefits payable under this Agreement
or otherwise will be either:

 

		(i)	delivered in full, or
	 	 	 

		(ii)	delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits
being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code,
	 	 	 

		(iii)	whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state
and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest
amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.

 

		(b)	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: (i) reduction of cash payments;
(ii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards (by cutting back performance-based awards first and then time-based awards,
based on reverse order of vesting dates (rather than grant dates)), if applicable; and (iii) reduction of employee benefits.

 

		(c)	Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination
required under this Section 15 will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants or by such other person or
entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose
determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this
Section 15, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith
interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such
information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear
all costs the Firm may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 15.
