by and between VACCINOGEN, INC. (the “Company”), and MICHAEL G. HANNA, JR., PH.D. (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Company and the Executive are currently parties to an employment letter agreement dated OCTOBER 15, 2007, and mutually
agree that this Agreement supersedes in its entirety such earlier employment letter agreement;

 

WHEREAS,
the Company recognizes the value and importance of the Executive’s services to the Company’s success, and therefore
wishes to enter into this new Employment Agreement with the Executive; and

 

WHEREAS,
the Executive recognizes and acknowledges the Company’s legitimate purposes of protecting its Confidential Information
(as defined herein), assets, business relationships, and goodwill by avoiding for limited times competition as described herein
and by avoiding unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information at any time.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Employment.
The Company hereby employs the Executive, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, as CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OFFICER of the Company. The Executive agrees to devote his full working time and effort to the business and affairs of
the Company and its affiliates and to perform all services and acts necessary or advisable to fulfill the duties and responsibilities
as are commensurate and consistent with the Executive’s position as may be assigned to him from time to time by the Company
and to perform such duties to the best of his ability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Executive with the prior approval
of the Company, may serve as a director on other corporate boards, provided that such activities do not interfere with the performance
of his duties under this Agreement or create a conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict of interest with the performance
of his duties under this Agreement; and (ii) the Executive may tend to his own investments, and pursue civic activities on a volunteer
basis, provided that none of such activities interferes with the performance of his duties under this Agreement. Executive will
report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company, and at all times during the Term (as defined herein) shall be the senior-most
officer of the Company.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

2.             Initial
Term and Additional Term. The term of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date,
and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4 hereof, shall (i) continue until December 31, 2012 (the “Initial Term”),
and (ii) thereafter be extended for additional two (2) year periods (each, an “Additional Term”), unless either party,
in its or his sole discretion, provides written notice of an intention to not renew the Agreement at the end of the Term at least
one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the end of the Term. As used in this Agreement, “Term” shall refer to the
Initial Term and any Additional Term.

 

		3.	Base Salary, Bonuses, and Benefits.

 

(a)            Base
Salary. During the Term, the Company agrees to pay to the Executive an annual base salary of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($350,000) (the actual amount payable from time to time hereunder is referred to as the “Base Salary”); provided,
however, that the Base Salary may from time to time be increased (but not reduced) by the Company’s Board of Directors, at
their sole discretion. The Base Salary, less all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law, shall be payable in equal
periodic installments in accordance with the practice of the Company in effect from time to time for the payment of salaries to
executives of the Company, but in no event less frequently than monthly.

(c)            Annual
Bonus. For any calendar year during the Term, the Executive may earn a bonus of up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Executive’s Base Salary for such calendar year (“Annual Bonus”), depending on the satisfaction of performance
criteria for such calendar year, which shall be determined as follows. No later than February 1st of each calendar year,
the Executive shall submit to the Company’s Board of Directors proposed performance goals for the calendar year. No later
than March 1st of each calendar year, the Board of Directors shall approve performance goals for the calendar year (either
as presented by the Executive, or with reasonable modifications desired by the Board). Such approved performance goals shall indicate
the manner in which the Executive's Annual Bonus (if any) will be determined upon partial satisfaction of one or more of the goals.
Any Annual Bonus due (less all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law) shall be paid to the Executive by the March
15th of the calendar year following the calendar year for which it is payable.

 

(d)            Equity
Grants. The Company shall grant to the Executive equity (or phantom equity) that provides the Executive with the economic
equivalent of 5% of the appreciation of the Company on a fully diluted basis, based on the Company's valuation as of a benchmark

Executive shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Company for necessary business expenses reasonably incurred by him

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any taxable reimbursements provided under this Section 3(e) shall be subject to the following
requirements: (i) no reimbursement shall affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year; (ii) the Executive
shall submit to the Company such statements and other evidence supporting the expenses to be reimbursed no later than as the Company
may reasonably require; provided, however, that the reimbursement deadlines for the Executive shall not be shorter than the deadlines
that apply to similarly-situated executives of the Company; (iii) all reimbursements shall be made no later than December 31 of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which such related expenses were incurred; and (iv) the right to any reimbursements
shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.

    	-5-

    	 

    

 

(2)           For
purposes of the Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) willful misconduct (including but not limited to misappropriation
of a material Company business opportunity, material violation of a confidentiality or non-competition obligation, or abuse of
drugs or alcohol that results in the Executive being materially adversely affected in the performance of his job duties), or fraud

the Company or the Executive’s performance; or (iii) the failure to comply with any material obligation imposed upon the
Executive pursuant to the Agreement; provided, however, that if such failure under clause (i) or (iii) is susceptible of cure,
“Cause” shall be deemed to exist only after the failure has remained uncured for thirty (30) days following receipt
by the Executive of written notice from the Company of the failure). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive disagrees
with the good faith determination of the Company that there is no cure after the 30-day cure period, the Executive may request
that such determination be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the then existing Employment
Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association (with the each party responsible for its own fees and costs).
If the Executive makes such a request for arbitration, the termination of the Executive shall not become effective unless and until
it is upheld by a final decision issued through such arbitration process; provided, that the Company shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to relieve the Executive of all or any portion of his duties during such arbitration period pending the arbitration
decision so long as the Company continues to pay and provide to the Executive on a timely basis the compensation and benefits that
it would otherwise owe to the Executive during such period under this Agreement.

 

(e)           Voluntary
Resignation by Executive. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment other than for Good Reason during the Term,
the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities under the Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3 hereof)

termination.

(f)
           Termination by Company Other than for Cause.

 

(1)    If
the Executive incurs an involuntary Separation from Service for reasons other than for Cause, including nonrenewal of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 2 herein, then subject to the Executive meeting the release requirements described in Section 4(f)(2) below,
the Executive shall receive the following payments and benefits:

 

 (A)        Continued
payments for the greater of (i) the remainder of the Term (not including any renewal terms that have not yet begun, even if the
notice period for nonrenewal has expired), or (ii) one (1) year (the greater of such two periods, the “Severance Period”),
to be paid as follows:

 

(i)            Payments
that would otherwise have been made within the 90-day period following the Executive's Separation from Service (had they commenced
with the first regularly scheduled paydate following the Executive's Separation from Service) shall be paid in a lump sum on the
final regularly scheduled paydate preceding the end of such ninety (90) day period (unless the Company, in its discretion, decides
to make such lump sum payment on an earlier date within such 90-day period).

 

(ii)          Payments
that are not due to be made until after the 90-day period following the Executive's Separation from Service (based on the Company's
regular payroll schedule) shall be made when due, based on such regular payroll schedule.

 

(iii)          Each
payment under this Section 4(f)(1)(A) shall be equal to one-hundred and seventy-five percent (175%) of the Executive’s per-pay
period Base Salary amount as of such Separation from Service.

 

 (B)        Continued
medical and dental benefits as provided by the Company from time to time for its employees, at the Company’s expense, for
the period of time equal to the shorter of the Severance Period or the maximum period of COBRA continuation coverage provided under
Section 4980B(f) of the Internal Revenue Code (with such coverage to be treated as COBRA coverage); provided, however, that the
Company shall not subsidize COBRA continuation coverage to the extent that the Executive is eligible for the COBRA subsidy under
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

 

(2)    The
Executive complies with this requirements of this Section 4(f)(2), and becomes entitled to the payments and benefits described
in Section 4(f)(1), only if the Executive executes a release of claims in favor of the Company in connection with the Executive’s
employment in a form to be provided by the Company that is similar to the model release of claims attached as Schedule B to this
Agreement, and any revocation period with respect to such release expires, by the final regularly scheduled paydate preceding the
end of the ninety (90) day period following the Executive's Separation from Service.

 

(g)           Resignation
for Good Reason. The Executive may resign his employment under this Agreement for Good Reason as set forth below.

 

    	-7-

    	 

    

 

(1)          “Good
Reason” means one or more of the following conditions arising without the consent of the Executive, upon which the Executive
resigns and incurs a Separation from Service within six (6) months following the initial existence of the condition:

 

(i)           A
reduction in the Executive’s base compensation.

 

(ii)          A
diminution in the Executive's authority, duties, or responsibilities.

 

(iii)         A
requirement that the Executive report to a Company officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board.

 

(iv)         A
change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform the services.

 

(v)          Any
other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this Agreement.

 

(2)          When
the Executive becomes aware of a condition that constitutes what Executive regards as Good Reason under Section 4(g)(1)), the Executive
shall provide the Company with written notice of the basis for Good Reason with sufficient specificity to enable the Company to
understand any attempt to cure the situation. The Company shall then have thirty (30) business days from receipt of the notice
to cure the situation. The Executive may extend such thirty (30) day cure period, in his sole and absolute discretion. If the Company
fails to cure the situation within such cure period, the Executive may resign from employment for Good Reason. In the event that
Company cures the situation(s) that constitutes the basis of the Good Reason as identified in the notice of Good Reason, the Executive
may not terminate based on said notice of Good Reason. If the Company asserts that it has cured the situation, but the Executive
does not agree with such assertion, the Executive may request that such determination be submitted to binding arbitration before
a single arbitrator in accordance with the then existing Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association
(with the each party responsible for its own fees and costs). If the Executive makes such a request for arbitration, the Executive
may not terminate his employment for Good Reason unless and until the Executive's position (that Good Reason was not cured) is
upheld by a final decision issued through such arbitration process. The Executive must provide said notice of Good Reason within
ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition that constitutes what Executive regards as Good Reason.

 

(3)          In
the event that the Company cures the matter(s) that constitute(s) the basis of the Good Reason as identified in the Notice of
Good Reason, Executive may not resign for Good Reason based on said Notice of Good Reason. A resignation of his employment by
the Executive after the Good Reason has been cured shall be deemed to be a voluntary resignation without Good Reason under Section
4(e).

 

    	-8-

    	 

    

 

(4)          Upon
a Separation from Service by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to Executive the compensation and benefits described
in Section 4(f), as though the Executive had incurred an involuntary Separation from Service without Cause.

 

5.    Non-Solicitation,
Non-Competition, and Confidentiality.

 

       (a)    Non-Solicitation

the employment of the Executive terminates upon non-renewal of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2, the Restriction Period shall

leave the Company’s employment or to become employed by any person or entity in any business, whether or not it is a Competing
Business.

 

(5)           During
the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, without the written consent of the Company, in each case directly or

(6)           During
the Restriction Period, the Executive will not,
without the written
consent of the Company, in each case directly or indirectly, provide, or arrange for or assist in the provision of services
by a Competing Business to any person or entity that is then a customer of the Company or that is being solicited by the
Company.

 

(7)           If
the Executive breaches this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, both pendente lite and
permanently, against the Executive, as a remedy at law would be inadequate. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to
such damages as it can show it has sustained, directly or indirectly, by reason of such a breach, and neither the Company nor
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be limited in such damages to the consideration paid to the Executive pursuant to
this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Company’s remedies in any way.

 

(8)           To
the extent that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or
unenforceable portion of such provision shall be deleted from this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the
remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
it is expressly agreed that, should the duration of, or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, the
covenants contained in this Agreement be determined to be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under applicable
law, then such covenants shall be construed to cover only that duration or geographical extent or those activities that may
be validly covered and enforced; provided, however, that to the full extent that the provisions of any applicable law may be
waived by the Executive, they are hereby waived, such that this Agreement may be deemed to be valid and enforceable to the
greatest possible extent. The Executive acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that
this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent
possible under applicable law.

which the Executive has acquired or become acquainted with during the Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, whether developed by the Executive or by others. The Executive agrees to use Confidential Information
only in carrying out the duties and responsibilities related to the Executive’s employment and, except in connection therewith,

(A)          Any
non-public information of the Company that is designated as confidential or proprietary, that, due to its character and nature,
a reasonable person employed by the Company would know was confidential or proprietary, or that derives independent value from

    	-11-

    	 

    

 

(4)           The
Executive acknowledges that the Company’s Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the Company
and represents a substantial investment of time and expense by the Company and that any disclosure or use of such Confidential
Information other than for the sole benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates would be wrongful and would
cause irreparable harm to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

 

(5)           The
Executive agrees to return to the Company at any time the Executive separates from the Company’s employment, or earlier
if so requested by the Company, all Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession, including any copies made by

examinations required in connection with policy underwriting, and to provide such consent as is necessary for the Company to obtain
favorable tax treatment under Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code (as amended from time to time).

 

7.  
      Remedies. The Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that if the Executive or the
Company breach any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Executive or the Company, as the case may be, may suffer
immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone will not be a sufficient remedy, and that, in addition to all
other remedies that the Executive or the Company, as the case may be, may have, the Executive or the Company, as the case may
be, shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance or any other form of equitable relief to remedy a
breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Executive or the Company, as the case may be, and to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement, and the Executive and the Company hereby waive any and all defenses they may have on the
grounds of lack of jurisdiction or competence of a court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The existence
of this right shall not preclude or otherwise limit the applicability or exercise of any other rights and remedies which the
Executive or the Company may have at law or in equity.

8.            Interpretation;
Severability.

 

(a)            The
Executive has carefully considered the possible effects on the Executive of the covenants not to compete and other obligations
contained in this Agreement, and the Executive (i) recognizes that the Company has made every effort to limit the restrictions
placed upon the Executive to those that are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s and its affiliates’ legitimate
business interests, and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary
in order to protect the Company’s and its affiliates’ legitimate business interests.

 

(b)            It
is the intention of the parties hereto that the covenants, provisions, and agreements contained herein shall be enforceable to
the fullest extent allowed by law. If any covenant, provision, or agreement contained herein is found by a court having jurisdiction
to be unreasonable in duration, geographic scope, or character of restrictions, such covenant, provision, or agreement shall not
be rendered unenforceable thereby, but rather the duration, geographic scope, or character of restrictions of such covenant, provision,
or agreement shall be deemed reduced or modified with retroactive effect to render such covenant, provision, or agreement reasonable,
and such covenant, provision, or agreement shall be enforced as modified. If the court having jurisdiction will not revise the
covenant, provision, or agreement, the parties hereto shall mutually agree to a revision having an effect as close as permitted
by applicable law to the provision declared unenforceable. The parties hereto agree that if a court having jurisdiction determines,
despite the express intent of the parties hereto, that any portion of the covenants, provisions, or agreements contained herein
are not enforceable, the remaining covenants, provisions, and agreements herein shall be valid and enforceable. Moreover, to the
extent that any provision is declared unenforceable, the Company shall have any and all rights under applicable statutes, civil
law, or common law to enforce its rights with respect to any and all Confidential Information or unfair competition by the Executive.

 

9.           Representation
and Warranty. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that he is not a party to (or otherwise subject
to or bound by) any contract, agreement, or other obligation of any kind limiting the freedom of the Executive to (i) engage,
directly or indirectly, in any business activity (including without limitation, the Business), (ii) compete, directly or indirectly,
with any person or entity, or (iii) be employed by, provide services
to, or own any interest in, the Company.

 

10.         Applicable
Law; Jurisdiction. The parties shall use their best efforts to resolve amicably any and all disputes relating to this Agreement
(“Disputes”). Subject to preemption by federal law, all Disputes arising under this Agreement shall be determined pursuant
to the laws of the State of Maryland, regardless of applicable principles of conflicts of laws. The parties irrevocably submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of (1) the courts of the State of Maryland and (2) if federal jurisdiction exists, to the United
States District Court of Maryland. EXECUTIVE AGREES TO WAIVE HIS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

    	-13-

    	 

    

 

11.         Mitigation
and Offset. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive will not be required to seek other employment if
his employment terminates under circumstances that entitle him to benefits under Section 4(f) herein.

 

12.         Notices.
All notices and communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and
effective when received if (i) personally delivered, (ii) mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or (iii) sent by other delivery services providing evidence of delivery, to the following:

other address as a party provides (in accordance herewith) to the other party from time to time.

 

13.         Entire
Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject
matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions of
the parties, whether oral or written. No amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed
in writing by all of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party for whom such benefit was intended. No waiver
of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement,
whether or not similar, nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly so provided in writing.

 

14.         Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that the Executive may not assign any of his rights or obligations

paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Executive in connection with the defense
of, or as a result of any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) in which Executive is made or is threatened
to be made a party by reason of the fact that Executive is or was an officer of the Company.

 

(b)            The
Company hereby represents and warrants (a) that Executive is and shall continue to be covered and insured up to the maximum limits
provided by all insurance which the Company maintains to indemnify its directors and officers; and (b) that the Company will maintain
such insurance, in not less than its present limits, throughout the term of this Agreement.

 

(c)            The
Executive agrees that he will, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Company as may be reasonably
required by the Company in connection with any litigation, or governmental inquiry or proceeding, in which it or any of its predecessors,
successors, subsidiaries, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, affiliates, investors, and attorneys is, or may become, a
party or otherwise involved. The Executive will be entitled to compensation for his reasonable time spent in providing such assistance,

incurred in connection with such assistance.

the event of any ambiguity or mistake herein, or any dispute among the parties with respect to the provisions hereto, no provision
of this Agreement shall be construed unfavorably against any of the parties on the ground that he, it, or his or its counsel was
the drafter thereof.

 

18.          Survival.
The provisions of Sections 5, 7, 8, and 10 through 16, inclusive, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

19.          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

20.          Section
409A. The Executive and the Company agree that the terms of this Agreement are intended to be construed in accordance with
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”). To the extent that Section 409A applies to any payment
required under this Agreement, such payment shall be made in conformance with the provisions of Section 409A.

THIS
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is effective as of February 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”),
by and between VACCINOGEN, INC. (the “Company”), and ANDREW L. TUSSING (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Company and the Executive are currently parties to an employment letter agreement dated OCTOBER 17, 2007, and mutually
agree that this Agreement supersedes in its entirety such earlier employment letter agreement;

 

WHEREAS,
the Company recognizes the value and importance of the Executive’s services to the Company’s success, and therefore
wishes to enter into this new Employment Agreement with the Executive; and

 

WHEREAS,
the Executive recognizes and acknowledges the Company’s legitimate purposes of protecting its Confidential Information
(as defined herein), assets, business relationships, and goodwill by avoiding for limited times competition as described herein
and by avoiding unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information at any time.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

 

1.          Employment.
The Company hereby employs the Executive, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, as CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER of the
Company. The Executive agrees to devote his full working time and effort to the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates
and to perform all services and acts necessary or advisable to fulfill the duties and responsibilities as are commensurate and
consistent with the Executive’s position as may be assigned to him from time to time by the Company and to perform such duties
to the best of his ability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Executive with the prior approval of the Company, may serve
as a director on other corporate boards, provided that such activities do not interfere with the performance of his duties under
this Agreement or create a conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict of interest with the performance of his duties under
this Agreement; and (ii) the Executive may tend to his own investments, and pursue civic activities on a volunteer basis, provided
that none of such activities interferes with the performance of his duties under this Agreement. Executive will report to the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company.

 

2.          Initial
Term and Additional Term. The term of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date,
and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4 hereof, shall (i) continue until December 31, 2012 (the “Initial Term”),
and (ii) thereafter be extended for additional two (2) year periods (each, an “Additional Term”), unless either party,
in its or his sole discretion, provides written notice of an intention to not renew the Agreement at the end of the Term at least
one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the end of the Term. As used in this Agreement, “Term” shall refer to the
Initial Term and any Additional Term.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

3.           Base
Salary, Bonuses, and Benefits.

 

(a)          Base
Salary. During the Term, the Company agrees to pay to the Executive an annual base salary of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000) (the actual amount payable from time to time hereunder is referred to as the “Base Salary”); provided,
however, that the Base Salary may from time to time be increased (but not reduced) by the Company’s Board of Directors,
at their sole discretion. The Base Salary, less all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law, shall be payable in
equal periodic installments in accordance with the practice of the Company in effect from time to time for the payment of salaries
to executives of the Company, but in no event less frequently than monthly.

 

(b)          Signing
Bonus. The Company shall pay the Executive a signing bonus of One Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) by
March 15, 2010.

 

(c)          Annual
Bonus. For any calendar year during the Term, the Executive may earn a bonus of up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Executive’s Base Salary for such calendar year (“Annual Bonus”), depending on the satisfaction of performance
criteria for such calendar year, which shall be determined as follows. No later than February 1st of each calendar
year, the Executive shall submit to the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer proposed performance goals for the calendar
year. No later than March 1st of each calendar year, the Chief Executive Officer shall approve performance goals for
the calendar year (either as presented by the Executive, or with reasonable modifications desired by the Chief Executive Officer).
Fifty percent of the bonus will be paid on personal goal achievments. Such approved performance goals shall indicate the manner
in which the Executive's Annual Bonus (if any) will be determined upon partial satisfaction of the majority of the goals. The
other 50% of the Bonus will be a function of the Companies performance and meeting plan for the Calendar year. Any Annual Bonus
due (less all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law) shall be paid to the Executive by the March 15th
of the calendar year following the calendar year for which it is payable.

 

(d)          Equity
Grants. The Company shall grant to the Executive equity (or phantom equity) that provides the Executive with the economic
equivalent of 5% of the appreciation of the Company on a fully diluted basis, based on the Company's valuation as of a benchmark
date within 12 months before or after the Effective Date. The terms and conditions of the grant shall be set forth in separate
grant documentation.

 

    	-2-

    	 

    

 

(e)          Benefits.
During the Term, the Company shall provide the Executive with the following benefits:

 

(1)         The
Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit programs that the Company may provide to similarly-situated
executives of the Company, including medical and dental coverage, life insurance, 401(k) plan, short-term and long-term disability
coverage, and paid-time off.

 

(2)         The
Executive shall be entitled to a Pinnacle Care membership (top membership level) covering the Executive and the Executive's family
(or a similar medical concierge membership selected by the Company).

 

(3)         The
Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for expenses incurred in a calendar year with respect to tax, financial,
family office and legal planning services (including tax return preparation), up to a maximum of $10,000 per calendar month during
the Term.

 

(4)         The
Executive shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Company for necessary business expenses reasonably incurred by him
in performing his duties hereunder during the Term. The Company acknowledges that extensive travel, including international travel,
is an integral part of the Executive's duties, and acknowledges that it is important for the Company's purposes for the Executive
to be provided with travel conditions that are safe and comfortable, to enable the Executive to properly perform his duties.

 

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any taxable reimbursements provided under this Section 3(e) shall be subject to the following
requirements: (i) no reimbursement shall affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year; (ii) the Executive
shall submit to the Company such statements and other evidence supporting the expenses to be reimbursed no later than as the Company
may reasonably require; provided, however, that the reimbursement deadlines for the Executive shall not be shorter than the deadlines
that apply to similarly-situated executives of the Company; (iii) all reimbursements shall be made no later than December 31 of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which such related expenses were incurred; and (iv) the right to any reimbursements
shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(f)          Effect
of a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 3(g)), then the Executive shall vest
in any outstanding equity (or phantom equity) awards granted under Section 3(d) in accordance with the terms of such awards. If,
as the result of this Agreement, Executive becomes liable for payment of taxes under Section 4999 of the Code, Company shall
pay Executive a tax-gross up payment in an amount, that, after payment of federal, state and local income and employment taxes,
equals the amount of the taxes payable by Executive under Section 4999 of the Code. Such tax gross-up payment shall be made by
the Company no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive remits the respective taxes
to the Internal Revenue Service.

(3)         a

by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting
power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or such surviving entity’s parent outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation;

 

(4)         upon

    	-4-

    	 

    

 

(b)          Termination
Upon Death of Executive. The employment of the Executive hereunder (and the Agreement) shall terminate as of the date
of the Executive’s death, in which event the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Section 3 hereof) except to pay to the Executive’s designated beneficiary (or estate or
his personal representative, as the case may be, if no beneficiary has been designated) (i) that portion, if any, of the Base
Salary that remains unpaid for the period prior to the date of death, and (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to one (1) times
the Base Salary, plus an Annual Bonus equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Executive’s Base Salary. Such payment shall
be made thirty (30) days following the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the Executive’s death, he shall vest in

(c)          Termination
Upon Disability of Executive.

 

(1)         The
employment of the Executive hereunder (and the Agreement) shall terminate as of the date of the Executive’s Disability (as
defined below), in which event the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3 hereof) except to pay to the Executive (i) that portion, if any, of the Base Salary that remains unpaid for
the period prior to the date of Disability, and (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to one (1) times the Base Salary, plus an Annual

or phantom equity awards granted under Section 3(d) in accordance with the terms of such awards.

other physical or mental disability, the Executive is unable to substantially perform the duties of the Executive required hereby,
and that such disability is determined or reasonably expected to last for a continuous period of one-hundred and eighty (180)

physician selected by mutual agreement of the first two physicians.

termination.

 

    	-5-

    	 

    

 

(2)         For
purposes of the Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) willful misconduct (including but not limited to misappropriation
of a material Company business opportunity, material violation of a confidentiality or non-competition obligation, or abuse of
drugs or alcohol that results in the Executive being materially adversely affected in the performance of his job duties), or fraud
by the Executive; (ii) conviction of (including a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to) a felony which has a material effect on
the Company or the Executive's performance; or (iii) the failure to comply with any material obligation imposed upon the Executive
pursuant to the Agreement; provided, however, that if such failure under clause (i) or (iii) is susceptible of cure, “Cause”
shall be deemed to exist only after the failure has remained uncured for thirty (30) days following receipt by the Executive of
written notice from the Company of the failure). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive disagrees with the good faith
determination of the Company that there is no cure after the 30-day cure period, the Executive may request that such determination
be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the then existing Employment Dispute Resolution
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (with the each party responsible for its own fees and costs). If the Executive makes
such a request for arbitration, the termination of the Executive shall not become effective unless and until it is upheld by a
final decision issued through such arbitration process; provided, that the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion,
to relieve the Executive of all or any portion of his duties during such arbitration period pending the arbitration decision so
long as the Company continues to pay and provide to the Executive on a timely basis the compensation and benefits that it would
otherwise owe to the Executive during such period under this Agreement.

 

(e)          Voluntary
Resignation by Executive. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment other than for Good Reason during the Term,
the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities under the Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3 hereof)
except to pay to the Executive that portion, if any, of the Base Salary that remains unpaid for the period prior to the date of
termination.

(1)         If
the Executive incurs an involuntary Separation from Service for reasons other than for Cause, including nonrenewal of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 2 herein, then subject to the Executive meeting the release requirements described in Section 4(f)(2) below,
the Executive shall receive the following payments and benefits:

 

(A)         Continued
payments for the greater of (i) the remainder of the Term (not including any renewal terms that have not yet begun, even if the
notice period for nonrenewal has expired), or (ii) one (1) year (the greater of such two periods, the “Severance Period”),
to be paid as follows:

 

(i)          Payments
that would otherwise have been made within the 90-day period following the Executive's Separation from Service (had they commenced
with the first regularly scheduled paydate following the Executive's Separation from Service) shall be paid in a lump sum on the
final regularly scheduled paydate preceding the end of such ninety (90) day period (unless the Company, in its discretion, decides
to make such lump sum payment on an earlier date within such 90-day period).

 

(ii)         Payments
that are not due to be made until after the 90-day period following the Executive's Separation from Service (based on the Company's
regular payroll schedule) shall be made when due, based on such regular payroll schedule.

 

(iii)        Each
payment under this Section 4(f)(1)(A) shall be equal to one-hundred and seventy-five percent (175%) of the Executive’s per-pay
period Base Salary amount as of such Separation from Service.

 

(B)         Continued
medical and dental benefits as provided by the Company from time to time for its employees, at the Company’s expense, for
the period of time equal to the shorter of the Severance Period or the maximum period of COBRA continuation coverage provided under
Section 4980B(f) of the Internal Revenue Code (with such coverage to be treated as COBRA coverage); provided, however, that the
Company shall not subsidize COBRA continuation coverage to the extent that the Executive is eligible for the COBRA subsidy under
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

 

(2)         The
Executive complies with this requirements of this Section 4(f)(2), and becomes entitled to the payments and benefits described
in Section 4(f)(1), only if the Executive executes a release of claims in favor of the Company in connection with the Executive’s
employment in a form to be provided by the Company that is similar to the model release of claims attached as Schedule B to this
Agreement, and any revocation period with respect to such release expires, by the final regularly scheduled paydate preceding the
end of the ninety (90) day period following the Executive's Separation from Service.

(g)          Resignation
for Good Reason. The Executive may resign his employment under this Agreement for Good Reason as set forth below.

 

(1)         “Good
Reason” means one or more of the following conditions arising without the consent of the Executive, upon which the Executive
resigns and incurs a Separation from Service within six (6) months following the initial existence of the condition:

 

(i)          A
reduction in the Executive’s base compensation.

 

(ii)         A
diminution in the Executive's authority, duties, or responsibilities.

 

(iii)        A
requirement that the Executive report to a Company officer or employee other than the Chief Executive Officer.

 

(iv)        A
change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform the services.

 

(v)         Any
other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this Agreement.

 

(2)         When
the Executive becomes aware of a condition that constitutes what Executive regards as Good Reason under Section 4(g)(1)), the Executive
shall provide the Company with written notice of the basis for Good Reason with sufficient specificity to enable the Company to
understand any attempt to cure the situation. The Company shall then have thirty (30) business days from receipt of the notice
to cure the situation. The Executive may extend such thirty (30) day cure period, in his sole and absolute discretion. If the Company
fails to cure the situation within such cure period, the Executive may resign from employment for Good Reason. In the event that
Company cures the situation(s) that constitutes the basis of the Good Reason as identified in the notice of Good Reason, the Executive
may not terminate based on said notice of Good Reason. If the Company asserts that it has cured the situation, but the Executive
does not agree with such assertion, the Executive may request that such determination be submitted to binding arbitration before
a single arbitrator in accordance with the then existing Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association
(with the each party responsible for its own fees and costs). If the Executive makes such a request for arbitration, the Executive
may not terminate his employment for Good Reason unless and until the Executive's position (that Good Reason was not cured) is
upheld by a final decision issued through such arbitration process. The Executive must provide said notice of Good Reason within
ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition that constitutes what Executive regards as Good Reason.

 

(3)         In
the event that the Company cures the matter(s) that constitute(s) the basis of the Good Reason as identified in the Notice of Good
Reason, Executive may not resign for Good Reason based on said Notice of Good Reason. A resignation of his employment by the Executive
after the Good Reason has been cured shall be deemed to be a voluntary resignation without Good Reason under Section 4(e).

 

    	-8-

    	 

    

 

(4)         Upon
a Separation from Service by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to Executive the compensation and benefits described
in Section 4(f), as though the Executive had incurred an involuntary Separation from Service without Cause.

 

5.           Non-Solicitation,
Non-Competition, and Confidentiality.

 

(a)          Non-Solicitation

(2)         The
“Restriction Period” shall be determined as follows:

the employment of the Executive is terminated for Cause, or if the Executive resigns without Good Reason, the Restriction Period
shall be three (3) years.

indirectly, other than carrying on or engaging in activities expressly permitted under this Agreement:

 

(A)         Carrying
on or engaging in a Competing Business as a principal, or on Executive’s own account, or solely or jointly with others as
a director, officer, agent, employee, consultant or partner, or stockholder, limited partner or other interest holder owning more
than five (5) percent of the stock or equity interests or securities convertible into more than five (5) percent of the
stock or equity interests in any entity that is carrying on or engaging in a Competing Business.

 

    	-9-

    	 

    

 

(B)         As
agent or principal, carrying on or engaging in any activities or negotiations with respect to the acquisition or disposition of
a Competing Business.

 

(C)         Extending
credit for the purpose of establishing or operating a Competing Business.

 

(D)         Lending

(4)         During
the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, without the written consent of the Company or for the Company’s benefit,
in each case directly or indirectly, solicit, raid, entice, induce or offer, any person who is then employed by the Company, to
leave the Company’s employment or to become employed by any person or entity in any business, whether or not it is a Competing
Business.

 

(5)         During
the RestrictionPeriod, the Executive will not, without the written consent of the Company, in each case directly or indirectly,

(6)         During
the RestrictionPeriod, the Executive will not, without the written consent of the Company, in each case directly or indirectly,
provide, or arrange for or assist in the provision of services by a Competing Business to any person or entity that is then a
customer of the Company or that is being solicited by the Company.

 

(7)         If
the Executive breaches this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, both pendente lite and permanently,
against the Executive, as a remedy at law would be inadequate. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to such damages as it
can show it has sustained, directly or indirectly, by reason of such a breach, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates shall be limited in such damages to the consideration paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Company’s remedies in any way.

 

(8)         To
the extent that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable
portion of such provision shall be deleted from this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision
and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that,
should the duration of, or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, the covenants contained in this Agreement
be determined to be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under applicable law, then such covenants shall be construed
to cover only that duration or geographical extent or those activities that may be validly covered and enforced; provided, however,
that to the full extent that the provisions of any applicable law may be waived by the Executive, they are hereby waived, such
that this Agreement may be deemed to be valid and enforceable to the greatest possible extent. The Executive acknowledges the
uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that renders
its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible under applicable law.

 

    	-10-

    	 

    

 

(b)          Confidentiality
and Non-Disclosure.

 

(1)         Except
as permitted or directed by the Company or in connection with the Executive’s employment by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, the Executive agrees to keep confidential and not to divulge or use any Confidential Information
(as defined below) which the Executive has acquired or become acquainted with during the Executive’s employment with
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether developed by the Executive or by others. The Executive agrees
to use Confidential Information only in carrying out the duties and responsibilities related to the Executive’s
employment and, except in connection therewith, the Executive will not at any time disclose Confidential Information to any
person or use the same for another person’s benefit, or the benefit of anyone other than the Company. The Executive
shall take all reasonable precautions to safeguard Confidential Information which is entrusted to the Executive.

 

(2)         For
purposes of this agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean:

 

(A)         Any
non-public information of the Company that is designated as confidential or proprietary, that, due to its character and nature,
a reasonable person employed by the Company would know was confidential or proprietary, or that derives independent value from
not being generally known to the public.

 

(B)         Non-public
information regarding or comprising the Company’s customers and customer lists, suppliers and supplier lists, procurement
programs, customer and “net-net” pricing, financial matters, rebates and allowances, business matters, business policies,
sales, marketing, processes, techniques, know-how, strategic, tactical or development plans, personnel information, or means of
doing business.

 

(C)         Other
non-public Company information obtained directly or indirectly by the Executive in the course of the Executive’s employment.

 

(3)         The
Executive shall be not liable for disclosure of Confidential Information if made in response to a valid order of a court or authorized
agency of government; provided that, if available, five days’ notice first be given to the Company so a protective order,
if appropriate, may be sought.

 

    	-11-

    	 

    

 

(4)         The
Executive acknowledges that the Company’s Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the Company
and represents a substantial investment of time and expense by the Company and that any disclosure or use of such Confidential
Information other than for the sole benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates would be wrongful and would
cause irreparable harm to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

 

(5)         The
Executive agrees to return to the Company at any time the Executive separates from the Company’s employment, or earlier
if so requested by the Company, all Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession, including any copies made by
the Executive, and the relevant documents, diskettes, files, hardware, computers, devices, memories, software and generally all
other materials or devices which contain or embody the same.

 

(6)         The
terms of this Confidentiality and Nondisclosure agreement shall be applicable to the Executive at all times during the Executive’s
employment with the Company and shall survive the termination of such employment forever.

would be owner and beneficiary of a policy insuring the Executive's life), the Executive agrees to fully cooperate with the Company's
efforts to secure such coverage, including but not limited to, accurately completing any insurance applications and undergoing
any medical examinations required in connection with policy underwriting, and to provide such consent as is necessary for the
Company to obtain favorable tax treatment under Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code (as amended from time to time).

 

7.          Remedies.
The Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that if the Executive or the Company breach any of the provisions
of this Agreement, the Executive or the Company, as the case may be, may suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary
damages alone will not be a sufficient remedy, and that, in addition to all other remedies that the Executive or the Company,
as the case may be, may have, the Executive or the Company, as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific
performance or any other form of equitable relief to remedy a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Executive or
the Company, as the case may be, and to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and the Executive and the Company hereby waive
any and all defenses they may have on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction or competence of a court to grant such an injunction
or other equitable relief. The existence of this right shall not preclude or otherwise limit the applicability or exercise of
any other rights and remedies which the Executive or the Company may have at law or in equity.

 

    	-12-

    	 

    

 

8.          Interpretation:
Severability.

 

(a)          The
Executive has carefully considered the possible effects on the Executive of the covenants not to compete and other obligations
contained in this Agreement, and the Executive (i) recognizes that the Company has made every effort to limit the restrictions
placed upon the Executive to those that are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s and its affiliates’ legitimate
business interests, and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary
in order to protect the Company’s and its affiliates’ legitimate business interests.

 

(b)          It
is the intention of the parties hereto that the covenants, provisions, and agreements contained herein shall be enforceable to
the fullest extent allowed by law. If any covenant, provision, or agreement contained herein is found by a court having jurisdiction
to be unreasonable in duration, geographic scope, or character of restrictions, such covenant, provision, or agreement shall not
be rendered unenforceable thereby, but rather the duration, geographic scope, or character of restrictions of such covenant, provision,
or agreement shall be deemed reduced or modified with retroactive effect to render such covenant, provision, or agreement reasonable,
and such covenant, provision, or agreement shall be enforced as modified. If the court having jurisdiction will not revise the
covenant, provision, or agreement, the parties hereto shall mutually agree to a revision having an effect as close as permitted
by applicable law to the provision declared unenforceable. The parties hereto agree that if a court having jurisdiction determines,
despite the express intent of the parties hereto, that any portion of the covenants, provisions, or agreements contained herein
are not enforceable, the remaining covenants, provisions, and agreements herein shall be valid and enforceable. Moreover, to the
extent that any provision is declared unenforceable, the Company shall have any and all rights under applicable statutes, civil
law, or common law to enforce its rights with respect to any and all Confidential Information or unfair competition by the Executive.

 

9.          Representation
and Warranty. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that he is not a party to (or otherwise subject
to or bound by) any contract, agreement, or other obligation of any kind limiting the freedom of the Executive to (i) engage, directly
or indirectly, in any business activity (including without limitation, the Business), (ii) compete, directly or indirectly, with
any person or entity, or (iii) be employed by, provide services to, or own any interest in, the Company.

 

10.        Applicable
Law: Jurisdiction. The parties shall use their best efforts to resolve amicably any and all disputes relating to this Agreement
(“Disputes”). Subject to preemption by federal law, all Disputes arising under this Agreement shall be determined pursuant
to the laws of the State of Maryland, regardless of applicable principles of conflicts of laws. The parties irrevocably submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of (1) the courts of the State of Maryland and (2) if federal jurisdiction exists, to the United
States District Court of Maryland. EXECUTIVE AGREES TO WAIVE HIS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

    	-13-

    	 

    

 

11.       
Mitigation and Offset. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive will not be required to seek other
employment if his employment terminates under circumstances that entitle him to benefits under Section 4(f) herein.

 

12.        Notices.
All notices and communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given

of the parties, whether oral or written. No amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed
in writing by all of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party for whom such benefit was intended. No waiver
of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement,
whether or not similar, nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly so provided in writing.

 

14.        Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective

Company hereby represents and warrants (a) that Executive is and shall continue to be covered and insured up to the maximum limits
provided by all insurance which the Company maintains to indemnify its directors and officers; and (b) that the Company will maintain
such insurance, in not less than its present limits, throughout the term of this Agreement.

 

(c)          The
Executive agrees that he will, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Company as may be reasonably
required by the Company in connection with any litigation, or governmental inquiry or proceeding, in which it or any of its predecessors,
successors, subsidiaries, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, affiliates, investors, and attorneys is, or may become, a
