Michael Austin is presently employed by
the Company as its Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company desires

and conditions herein provided.

 

In order to effect the foregoing, the Company

1.  Employment.

 

A.  The
Company agrees to employ the Executive Vice President as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Company or

or removes the Executive Vice President from such office at any time during the term of this agreement, the Executive Vice President
shall have the right, by written notice to the Company, to terminate his services hereunder effective as of the last day of the
month following the receipt by the Company of any such written notice and the Executive Vice President shall have no other obligations
under this Agreement. The Executive Vice President's termination of services under this Paragraph shall be treated as a termination

3.  Executive
Vice President's Duties During Term of Employment.

 

The Executive Vice President shall devote
his full business time (with allowances for vacations and sick leave) and attention and best efforts to the affairs of the Company
and its subsidiaries and affiliates during the term of employment; provided, however, that he may serve as a director of other
corporations and entities and may engage in other activities to the extent that they do not inhibit the performance of his duties
hereof or conflict with the business of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

 

4.  Compensation.

 

The Executive Vice President's base salary
will be determined each year by the Board of Directors at its annual meeting and will be paid in substantially equal monthly installments
plus a bonus determined annually by the Board of Directors based upon the Board of Directors' determination as to the performance

which he deems reasonably incurred by him in performing services hereunder provided such expenses are incurred and accounted for
in accordance with the policies and procedures presently established by the Company.

 

6.  Counsel
Fees and Indemnification.

 

A.  In
the event that: (1) the Company terminates or seeks to terminate this Agreement alleging as justification for such termination
a material breach by the Executive Vice President or causes hereinafter set forth; the Executive Vice President disputes such termination
or attempted termination; and/or (2) the Executive Vice President elects to terminate his services hereunder pursuant to Paragraph 1B
of this Agreement; the Company disputes its obligations to pay to the Executive Vice President that portion of his base salary
as hereinafter provided; the Company shall pay or reimburse to the Executive Vice President all reasonable costs incurred by him
in such dispute, including attorney's fees and costs providing the Executive Vice President shall prevail in such action.

 

B.  The
Company further represents and warrants: (1) that the Executive Vice President is and shall continue to be covered and insured
up to the maximum limits provided by all insurance that the Company maintains to indemnify its directors and officers (and to indemnify
the Company for any obligations which it incurs as a result of its undertaking to indemnify its officers and directors) and (2) that

C.  The
Company hereby warrants and represents that the undertakings of payment indemnification and maintenance of such insurance coverage
for the Executive Vice President set out above are not in conflict with the charter of the Company or its By-Laws or with any validly
existing agreement or other proper corporate action of the Company.

 

7.  Termination.

 

A.  Termination
by the Company other than for Material or Just Cause.

 

If the Company shall terminate the Executive
Vice President's employment during the term of employment for other than a material breach of this Agreement or “just cause”,
as herein defined, the Executive Vice President shall have no obligation to seek other employment in mitigation of damages in respect
of any period following the date of such termination and the Executive Vice President shall be entitled to receive from the Company
the full base salary to which he is then entitled to the end of the term of employment which shall be payable to the Executive
Vice President in monthly installments without regard to, or reduction because of, any other compensation or income which the Executive
Vice President receives or is entitled to receive whether from the Company or otherwise. It is stipulated that any payments made
in accordance with the foregoing shall be paid to and received by the Executive Vice President as liquidated damages for the unwarranted
termination of his employment and not as penalties and he shall be entitled to receive no further sums under this Agreement except
as such that have accrued as of the date of termination or as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. In view of the
fact that the term of this Agreement is for three (3) years pursuant to the provisions of the aforesaid described Chapter 215
ILCS 5/245, it is contemplated that the payments provided to be made by virtue of this provision shall be completed at the expiration
of three (3) years from the date of such termination.

 

It is further understood that coverage under
the Home Office Employees' Group Health Plan during the period when payments are being made under this Paragraph or Paragraph 7C
will continue at the same price as if employment had continued.

 

B.  Termination
by the Company for Material Breach or for Just Cause.

 

“Just cause” shall mean willful
misconduct, dishonesty, conviction of a felony, habitual drunkenness or excessive absenteeism not related to illness. Should the
Executive Vice President's employment be terminated for a material breach of this Agreement or for “just cause”, the
Company shall be obligated to pay the Executive Vice President his then base salary only through the end of the month during which
such termination occurs plus such other sums as are payable to the Executive Vice President under this Agreement and which have
accrued as of the end of such month.

 

C.  Termination
by the Executive Vice President.

 

Without prejudice to the provisions of Paragraph 1B
of this Agreement, it is agreed that if during the term of employment the Executive Vice President's duties are materially diminished
he may at any time resign from his position as Executive Vice President -Marketing of the Company after giving the Chief Executive
Officer not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of the effective date of his resignation. Any such resignation shall
not be deemed to be a material breach by the Executive Vice President of this Agreement.

 

    3

     

    

 

It is further agreed that upon such resignation,
except for obligations of either party to the other which have accrued as of the date of the Executive Vice President's resignation
or as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Executive Vice President shall be entitled to receive the compensation
provided under Paragraph 7A of this Paragraph 7 as if such termination was by the Company other than for material breach
or other just cause, It is provided, however, that the Executive Vice President's obligation of non-disclosure as provided in Paragraph 11
of this Agreement shall remain undiminished and in full force and effect and the obligation of the Executive Vice President under
Paragraph 8 of this Agreement not to compete shall continue for the period during which payments continue to be made to the
Executive Vice President under the provisions of Paragraph 7A.

 

8.  Non-Competition.

 

A.  Except
as is otherwise provided in Paragraph 7C, it is agreed that during the term of employment and during any period in which the
Executive Vice President is receiving compensation as provided in Paragraphs 4 and 7, the Executive Vice President will not
without the prior approval of the Chairman of the Board become an officer, employee, agent, partner or director of any business
enterprise which is in substantial direct competition (as defined below) with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company, as the business of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate may be constituted during the term of employment or at the
termination thereof.

 

B.  If
the Executive Vice President's employment by the Company is terminated by the Executive Vice President during the term of employment,
the Executive Vice President shall not during the period in which he is compensated under the provisions of Paragraphs 7A
and 7C following such termination become an officer, employee, agent, partner or director of any business enterprise in substantial
direct competition with the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company as the business of the Company or any said subsidiaries
may be constituted at the time of such termination.

 

C.  For
the purpose of this Paragraph 8, a business enterprise with which the Executive Vice President becomes associated as an officer,
employee, agent, partner or director shall be considered in “substantial direct competition” if during a year when
such competition is prohibited its sales of any product or service which is competitive with a product or service furnished by
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company amount to more than ten percent (10%) of the Company's and subsidiaries' total combined
sales of its product or services. This provision shall be effective during the period in which the Executive Vice President is
receiving payments from the Company under the provisions of Paragraphs 7A and 7C.

 

9.  Effect
of Death and Disability.

 

A.  In
the event of death of the Executive Vice President during the period of employment, the legal representative of the Executive Vice
President shall be entitled to the base salary provided for in Paragraph 4 for the month in which death shall have taken place
at the rate being paid at the time of death and the period of employment shall be deemed to have ended as of the close of business
on the last day of the month in which death shall have occurred but without prejudice to any payments due in respect to the Executive
Vice President's death.

 

    4

     

    

 

It is further understood that the foregoing
shall not foreclose the Board of Directors from voting to continue the compensation of the Executive Vice President to his widow
for a reasonable period after his death.

 

B.  If,
as a result of the Executive Vice President's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive Vice President shall
have been absent from his duties hereunder on a full-time basis for the entire period of nine (9) consecutive months, the period
of employment shall be deemed to have ended as of the close of business on the last day of such nine (9) month period but without
prejudice to any payments due to the Executive Vice President in respect to disability,

 

In the event of disability of the Executive
Vice President during the period of employment, the Executive Vice President shall be entitled to the base salary provided of in
Paragraph 4 above at the rate being paid at the time of the commencement of disability for the first nine (9) month period
of such disability. Thereafter, the Executive Vice President shall receive fifty percent (50%) of such rate being paid at the time
of the commencement of disability for the remaining term provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement
after the expiration of the nine (9) month period shall be reduced by any payments to which the Executive Vice President may be
entitled for the payment period because of disability under any disability plan of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate
thereof.

 

10.  Successors
or Assigns,

 

Any successor or assign (whether direct
or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or change of control) shall absolutely and unconditionally assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession or assignment
had taken place. The Company agrees that it will require any successor, or assign, under the circumstances herein above set forth,
to expressly, absolutely and unconditionally assume and agree to perform this Agreement. Any failure of the Company to obtain such
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall
entitle the Executive Vice President to terminate under the provisions of Paragraph 7A. As used in this Paragraph, Company
shall mean the Company as herein before defined and any successor of its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and
delivers the agreement Page 7 provided for in this Paragraph or which otherwise becomes bound by the terms and conditions
of this Agreement by operation of law.

 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Executive Vice President's legal representative, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, devisees,
designees and legatees. If the Executive Vice President should die while any amounts are still payable to him hereunder such amounts
unless otherwise provided for herein shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive Vice President's
devisees, legatees, or other designees, or, if there be no such designees, to the Executive Vice President's estate.

documentation from Avery’s health care provider sufficient for the CEO to determine the nature and extent of any physical or mental impairment that may interfere with Avery’s performance of Avery’s job duties, as well as any
accommodations that could be made.

 (f)    If Avery’s employment is terminated because of Avery’s
death or a determination that Avery is Disabled or Incapacitated, then prior to the 30th day following the Termination Date, the Company shall pay to Avery (or his legal representatives) in a lump sum, to the extent not previously paid, the Base
Salary through the Termination Date, less applicable withholdings as well as the KPI Bonus related to the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the Termination Date falls if the amount of such KPI Bonus has been determined by the Board but
not yet paid to Avery as of the Termination Date as well as a prorated KPI bonus through the Termination Date for the fiscal year in which the separation takes place once said KPI bonus has been determined by the Board. 

(g)    If the Company terminates Avery’s employment without Cause, then the Company will provide Avery with the
following severance payments and/or benefits: 
 (i)    Prior to the 30th day following the Termination
Date, the Company shall pay to Avery, in regular semi-monthly installments the Base Salary through the Termination Date, any accrued but unused vacation existing as of the Termination Date, and any KPI Bonus related to the fiscal year prior to the
fiscal year in which the Termination Date falls if the amount of such KPI Bonus has been determined by the Board but not yet paid to Avery as of the Termination Date as well as a prorated KPI bonus through the Termination Date for the fiscal year in
which the separation takes place once said KPI bonus has been determined by the Board. 

(ii)    Starting as of the next applicable Company payroll date after the Termination Date (provided Avery
has executed and delivered a Release Agreement pursuant to Section 5(i) below, and such Release Agreement has become effective and irrevocable), the Company will pay Avery a monthly amount equal to the (x) Base Salary, divided by
(y) 12 (the “Cash Severance”), less applicable withholdings, for a period of one (1) year following the Termination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the period from the Termination Date to the one year anniversary
thereafter is referred to as the “Severance Period.” 
 (iii)    During the Severance
Period, if Avery elects, and to the extent Avery is and remains eligible for COBRA Continued Coverage (as defined in Section 9(c) of this Agreement), the Company shall continue to pay its portion of premiums for any such COBRA Continued
Coverage on the same terms that would have been provided to Avery had Avery’s employment continued with Company. Any COBRA related benefits that Avery is eligible to receive, if any, will cease immediately upon Avery becoming ineligible for
COBRA Continued Coverage and/or becoming gainfully employed and being eligible for benefits at his new place of employment. Avery shall notify the Company in writing promptly after Avery’s commencement of such other employment. 

(iv)    The severance payments and benefits under this Section 5(g) are to the exclusion of any other
severance policy, program or benefit. 
 (h)    If Avery’s employment with the Company is separated for Cause, then
following the Termination Date, the Company shall pay to Avery, less applicable withholdings, to the extent not previously paid, (a) the Base Salary through the Termination Date, at the time required by applicable law, and (b) any accrued
vacation or paid time off that Avery has not used prior to the Termination Date, at the time required by applicable law. 

  
 4 

 (i)    The obligations of the Company to make payments under
Section 5(g) are conditioned on Avery executing and returning to the Company a general release agreement (“Release Agreement”) in favor of the Company, the Company Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors,
members, managers, partners and shareholders with respect to Avery’s employment in the form acceptable to both Company and Avery, acting in good faith with such Release Agreement being executed no earlier than the Date of Termination and such
Release Agreement becoming effective and irrevocable no later than fifty-five (55) days following Avery’s Termination Date. To the extent such fifty-five (55) day period may cover two taxable years, payments will not commence until
the later of the two such years. Avery acknowledges that until a Release Agreement is timely executed and delivered to the Company and the applicable revocation period (if any) expires, the Company will not be obligated to pay any Cash Severance due
to Avery under this Agreement. If Avery has breached in any material respect any of Avery’s obligations in Section 6 below, then, without precluding its right to take any other actions available pursuant to this Agreement or applicable
law, the Board may elect to immediately terminate Avery’s right to receive, and Company’s obligation to pay, any additional Cash Severance, and Avery shall have no further rights to Cash Severance. 

6.    Avery Covenants. Avery agrees and acknowledges that, to ensure that the Company retains its value and
goodwill, Avery must not use any Confidential Information (as defined below), special knowledge of the Business, or the relationships of the Company or the Company Affiliates with their respective customers, all of which Avery will continue to gain
access to through Avery’s employment with the Company, other than in the furtherance of Avery’s legitimate job duties. Accordingly, Avery agrees to the following restrictive covenants. 

(a)    Confidential Information. Avery acknowledges that his employment by the Employer and the Company, or while
being associated with the Company Affiliates, Avery has had and will continue to have access to and become informed of Confidential Information (defined below) that is a competitive asset of the Company or the Company Affiliates, and agrees that the
Company and the Company Affiliates have a protectable interest in such Confidential Information. Therefore, Avery agrees that during the Employment Period and after his termination for any reason he shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose to any
unauthorized person or use for his own purposes any such Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company unless and to the extent that such Confidential Information (i) becomes or is generally known to the public and
available for use by the public and industry other than as a result of Avery’s unauthorized acts or omissions in breach of this Agreement, or (ii) is required to be disclosed by judicial process, law or securities exchange on which the
securities of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates are listed; provided, however, that Avery, to the extent not prohibited by such process, law or exchange, shall give the Company written notice of the Confidential Information to be so
disclosed pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence as far in advance of its disclosure as is reasonably practicable, shall cooperate with the Company in any efforts to protect the Confidential Information from disclosure (including efforts to
secure a judicial order to such effect), and shall limit his disclosure of such Confidential Information to the minimum disclosure required by such process, law or exchange. Avery acknowledges that all documents and other property including or
reflecting Confidential Information furnished to Avery by the Company or any Company

Affiliate or otherwise acquired or developed by the Company or any Company Affiliate or acquired, developed or known by Avery by reason of the performance of his duties for, or his association
with, the Company or any Company Affiliate shall at all times be the property of the Company. Avery shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard Confidential Information and protect it against disclosure, misuse, loss or theft. “Confidential
Information” means information that the Company or any Company Affiliate regard and treat as confidential; is not known or accessible to competitors or other third persons not having a legitimate need to know; has value to the Company or
any Company Affiliate due to the confidentiality thereof; and if disclosed, could result in substantial competitive or business disadvantage. Such information includes (x) trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the Company or any
Company Affiliate, any product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned
research and development, current and planned manufacturing and distribution methods and processes, customer lists, current and anticipated customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer software and programs (including
object code and source code), database technologies, systems, structures, architectures processes, improvements, devices, discoveries, concepts, methods, and information of the Company or any Company Affiliate; (y) all information concerning
the business and affairs of the Company or any Company Affiliate (which includes financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds of key personnel,
contractors, agents, suppliers and potential suppliers, personnel training and techniques and materials, and purchasing methods and techniques), however documented; and (z) notes, analysis, compilations, studies, summaries and other material
prepared by or for the Company or Company Affiliate containing or based, in whole or in part, upon any information included in the foregoing. 

(b)    Non-Compete. Avery acknowledges that by reason of Avery’s
duties and association with the Company and the Company Affiliates, Avery has had and will continue to have access to Confidential Information concerning the Company and the Company Affiliates and that Avery’s services are of special, unique
and extraordinary value to the Company and the Company Affiliates. Therefore, Avery agrees that during his employment with the Company and until the one (1) year anniversary of the Termination Date (regardless of the reason for termination),
Avery shall not, other than in the legitimate exercise of his duties for the Company during his employment with the Company, directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, control, be employed or engaged by, lend to, or otherwise serve as a director,
officer, stockholder, partner, member, manager, agent, consultant or contractor of or to, any entity that engages in, or otherwise engage or participate in, whether or not for compensation, the Business (as defined in Section 9(a) of this
Agreement), or in any other business in which the Company or any Company Affiliate engages as of the date on which Avery’s employment with the Company ends and in which Avery, during the course of his employment, has had management or non-management responsibility, provided know-how or has had access to Confidential Information. The provisions in this Section 6(b) shall operate in the market areas of
the United States and any other market areas of any other countries anywhere in the world in which the Company or any Company Affiliate conducts its business as of Avery’s termination from the Company. The foregoing shall not restrict Avery
from directly or indirectly owning stock of the Company or up to an aggregate of five percent of the outstanding stock of any publicly held company engaged in the Business. 

  
 6 

 (c)    Non-Solicitation.
Avery agrees that during his employment with the Company and until the one (1) year anniversary of the Termination Date (regardless of the reason for termination), he shall not on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity,
directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, partner, member, manager, owner, officer, employee, agent, consultant or contractor, or in any other capacity: (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company
or any Company Affiliate to leave his or her employ or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Company Affiliate and any employee thereof; (ii) solicit to hire or hire any person who was an employee of the Company
or any Company Affiliate at any time during the two-year period prior to the date of such solicitation; or (iii) solicit any customer, developer, client, supplier, vendor, licensee, licensor, franchisee
or other business relation of the Company or any Company Affiliate to purchase services or products that are provided by the Company or any Company Affiliate, (iv) induce or attempt to induce any such customer, developer, client, supplier,
vendor, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of the Company or any Company Affiliate to cease doing business with the Company or any Company Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer,
developer, client, supplier, vendor, licensee, licensor, franchisee or business relation of the Company or any Company Affiliate (including making any negative statements or communications about the Company or any Company Affiliate or any of their
respective officers, directors, products or services). 
 7.    Enforcement and Remedies. 

(a)    If, at the time of enforcement of any of Sections 6(a),(b) or (c), a court of competent jurisdiction shall
hold that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the court shall be allowed to substitute the maximum legally-permissible restrictions for the restrictions contained in this
Agreement. 
 (b)    Avery acknowledges that the provisions of Section 6 are in consideration of good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. Avery expressly agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 6 do not preclude Avery from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose
limitations on Avery’s ability to earn a living. In addition, Avery agrees and acknowledges that the Company and the Company Affiliates are engaged in the Business, the Business is highly competitive and the services to be performed by Avery
for the Company are unique and global in nature, and the potential harm to the Company and the Company Affiliates of the non-enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6 outweighs any harm to Avery of
the enforcement of such provisions by injunction or otherwise. Avery acknowledges that Avery has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Avery by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to
their necessity. Avery expressly acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the Confidential Information and the goodwill of the
businesses of the Company and the Company Affiliates, and Avery agrees not to challenge the validity or enforceability of the restrictions contained herein. The parties hereto expressly agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for
breaching any provision of Section 6, and that the Company would be irreparably damaged if Avery were to disclose the Confidential Information, solicit or hire employees, solicit customers or provide services to any person or entity in
violation of the provisions of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any such 

  
 7 

 
provision, the Company and/or any Company Affiliate or their respective successors or assigns shall be entitled to, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, or proving economic harm).
Nothing herein is intended to limit the rights and remedies of the Company or any Company Affiliate under the Illinois Trade Secrets Act or under any other statute or the common law concerning the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.

 8.    Post Termination Obligations. 

(a)    Return of Company Materials. Immediately upon Notice of Termination of Avery’s employment for any
reason, Avery shall return to the Company, and shall not retain in any form or media of expression, all Company and Company Affiliate property that is then in Avery’s possession, custody or control, including, without limitation, all keys,
access cards, credit cards, computer hardware and software, documents, records, policies, marketing information, design information, specifications and plans, data base information and lists, and any other property or information that Avery has or
had relating to the Company or any Company Affiliate (whether those materials are in paper or computer-stored form), and including but not limited to any documents containing, summarizing, or describing any Confidential Information. Upon the
Company’s request, Avery will certify in writing, in a form acceptable to the Company, that Avery has returned all Company and Company Affiliate property, including any Confidential Information and copies thereof.

Group in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise (a “Proceeding”), and will reasonably assist the Affiliated Group in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by any member
of the Affiliated Group in any Proceeding, to the extent that such claims may relate to Avery’s employment or the period of Avery’s employment by the Company. The Company shall reimburse Avery for all of Avery’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance, including travel expenses and any attorneys’ fees and shall pay a reasonable per diem fee (at a minimum rate of

the provisions of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Avery under Section 409A or any damages
for failing to comply with Section 409A. 

  
 10 

 (b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if
any payment or benefit provided to Avery in connection with his termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and Avery is determined to be a
“specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i), then such payment or benefit shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of the
Termination Date or, if earlier, on Avery’s death (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date shall be paid (without
interest) to Avery in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and thereafter, any remaining payments shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule. 

(c)    To the extent required by Section 409A, each reimbursement or in-kind
benefit provided under this Agreement shall be provided in accordance with the following: (a) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during each calendar year
cannot affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (b) any reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be paid to Avery on or before the
last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (c) any right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not be subject to

or among Avery and the Company or any Company Affiliate. Further, this Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, representations or other agreements by or

Restricted Stock Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, to the extent they are in effect. 

(c)    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Avery,
the Company and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that the rights and obligations of Avery under this Agreement shall not be assignable.

of the State of Illinois (regardless of its conflict of laws principles). Each party hereto irrevocably submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois located in DuPage County, Illinois and to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, for the purpose of bringing any action that may be brought in connection with the provisions hereof. Each party hereto individually agrees not to assert any

 11
