THIS EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIALITY,
NON-COMPETE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the 9th
day of September, 2016 by and between Drone USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns
(hereinafter “Drone USA”), and Paul Charles Joy (hereinafter “Employee”). In consideration
of Employee’s employment with Drone USA and Employee’s receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to Employee
by Drone USA, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.           Employment.
Drone USA hereby agrees to employ Employee and Employee hereby agrees to work for Drone USA and to advance the interests of
the Drone USA and its affiliate Howco Distributing Co., a Washington corporation (“Howco”) upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

 

2.           Initial
Term – Subsequent At-Will Employment. The parties acknowledge and agree that Employee’s employment with Drone
USA is for an initial period of two (2) years (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, Drone USA and
Employee may Terminate Employee’s employment with Drone USA during the Initial Term as forth in Section 6. Upon expiration
of the Initial Term, Employee’s employment with Drone USA, shall be for an unspecified duration and shall constitute “at-will”
employment.

 

3.           Scope
of Duties; Representations and Warranties.

 

a.           This
Agreement is entered into in connection with that certain Stock Purchase Agreement of even date involving the sale of 100% of
the common stock of Howco Distributing, Co. to Drone USA, LLC (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). Employee
will have such duties as are assigned or delegated to Employee by Drone USA’s Board of Directors, and will initially serve
as the Howco CEO of Drone USA and use Employee’s best efforts to assist with the transition of the ownership and the operations
of Howco. Employee shall devote his/her entire business time, attention, skills, and energy exclusively to the business of Howco
and Drone USA and will use his/her best efforts to promote the continued success, profitability and growth of Howco as well as
Drone USA and will cooperate fully with their respective Boards of Directors and management in the advancement of their best interests.

 

b.           Employee
represents and warrants that by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Employee does not, and the performance of obligations
hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (i) violate any judgment, writ, injunction,
or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to Employee, (ii) conflict with, result in the breach of any
provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which Employee is a party or by which Employee
is or may be bound.

 

     

     

    

  

c.           Employee
agrees that from time to time Drone USA may engage and use professional employment organizations (“PEO’(s)”)
to address its human resources, payroll, insurance and other employment related needs. Many PEO’s use the term “co-employment,”
to describe the relationship between an employee on the one hand and the PEO and the PEO’s client on the other hand; in
that event Employee may be deemed to be an employee of the Drone USA and the PEO. In the event that Drone USA elects to use a
PEO or change from one PEO to another, Empoyee’s employment with Drone USA will remain unchanged with respect to Employee’s
obligations to Drone USA and Howco under this Agreement; and, in the event of any inconsistency or contradictory provision contained
in any PEO agreement to which Drone USA or Employee is a party, the terms of this Agreement shall control and supersede the terms
of any such other agreement.

 

4.           Compensation.

 

a.           Drone
USA shall initially pay Employee base compensation of One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) per year, subject to
adjustment as provided below, which will be payable in equal periodic installments according to Drone USA’s customary payroll
practices, but no less frequently than twice per month, subject to adjustment as provided below. Following the Initial Term, Employee
base compensation will be reviewed by the management of Drone USA no less frequently than annually, and may be adjusted upward
or downward in the sole discretion of the management of Drone USA.

 

b.           All
payments of salary and other compensation paid to Employee shall be made after deduction of any taxes and other amounts which are
required to be withheld with respect thereto under applicable federal and state laws.

 

5.           Fringe
Benefits; Expenses.

 

a.           So
long as Employee is employed by Drone USA, Employee shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans sponsored by
Drone USA for its employees in accordance with Drone USA’s policies, including but not limited to sick leave and disability
leave, life insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, and stock ownership and/or profit sharing plans; provided, however,
that the nature, amount and limitations of such plans shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of Drone
USA. Employee agrees that by being eligible to participate in benefits such as health insurance, dental insurance and life insurance,
participation will be subject to employee contributions which may change from time to time. Notwithstanding the forgoing, during
the Initial Term of Employee’s employment, the benefits to which Employee is entitled shall be substantially the same as
those that Employee received while employed by Howco during the two (2) year period immediately prior to the effective date of
this Agreement, and in the event that the benefit program in effect for Drone USA employees is less favorable than the benefits
provided by Howco to Employee, an adjustment shall be made to Employee’s base compensation to compensate for any deficiency
in such benefits.

 

b.           Drone
USA shall reimburse Employee for all approved reasonable business expenses incurred by Employee in the scope of employment; provided,
however, that such expenses must be pre-approved and Employee must file expense reports with respect to such expenses in accordance
with Drone USA’s policies as are in effect from time to time.

 

    2 

     

    

  

c.           Employee

and other paid leave set forth in Drone USA’s policies.

the Howco COO of Drone USA and use Employee’s best efforts to assist with the transition of the ownership and the operations
of Howco. Employee shall devote his/her entire business time, attention, skills, and energy exclusively to the business of Howco
and Drone USA and will use his/her best efforts to promote the continued success, profitability and growth of Howco as well as
Drone USA and will cooperate fully with their respective Boards of Directors and management in the advancement of their best interests.

 

b.           Employee
represents and warrants that by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Employee does not, and the performance of obligations
hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (i) violate any judgment, writ, injunction,
or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to Employee, (ii) conflict with, result in the breach of any
provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which Employee is a party or by which Employee
is or may be bound.

 

     

     

    

 

c.             Employee
agrees that from time to time Drone USA may engage and use professional employment organizations (“PEO’(s)”)
to address its human resources, payroll, insurance and other employment related needs. Many PEO’s use the term “co-employment,”
to describe the relationship between an employee on the one hand and the PEO and the PEO’s client on the other hand; in
that event Employee may be deemed to be an employee of the Drone USA and the PEO. In the event that Drone USA elects to use a
PEO or change from one PEO to another, Empoyee’s employment with Drone USA will remain unchanged with respect to Employee’s
obligations to Drone USA and Howco under this Agreement; and, in the event of any inconsistency or contradictory provision contained
in any PEO agreement to which Drone USA or Employee is a party, the terms of this Agreement shall control and supersede the terms
of any such other agreement.

 

4.       
    Compensation.

 

a.             Drone
USA shall initially pay Employee base compensation of One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) per year, subject to
adjustment as provided below, which will be payable in equal periodic installments according to Drone USA’s customary payroll
practices, but no less frequently than twice per month, subject to adjustment as provided below. Following the Initial Term, Employee
base compensation will be reviewed by the management of Drone USA no less frequently than annually, and may be adjusted upward
or downward in the sole discretion of the management of Drone USA.

 

b.             All

required to be withheld with respect thereto under applicable federal and state laws.

 

5.        
   Fringe Benefits; Expenses.

 

a.             So
long as Employee is employed by Drone USA, Employee shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans sponsored by
Drone USA for its employees in accordance with Drone USA’s policies, including but not limited to sick leave and disability
leave, life insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, and stock ownership and/or profit sharing plans; provided, however,
that the nature, amount and limitations of such plans shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of Drone
USA. Employee agrees that by being eligible to participate in benefits such as health insurance, dental insurance and life insurance,
participation will be subject to employee contributions which may change from time to time. Notwithstanding the forgoing, during
the Initial Term of Employee’s employment, the benefits to which Employee is entitled shall be substantially the same as
those that Employee received while employed by Howco during the two (2) year period immediately prior to the effective date of
this Agreement, and in the event that the benefit program in effect for Drone USA employees is less favorable than the benefits
provided by Howco to Employee, an adjustment shall be made to Employee’s base compensation to compensate for any deficiency
in such benefits.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

b.             Drone

with Drone USA’s policies as are in effect from time to time.

 

c.             Employee
shall be entitled to paid vacation consistent with the paid vacation received by Employee while employed by Howco during the two
(2) year period immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement. Employee shall also be entitled to the paid holidays
and other paid leave set forth in Drone USA’s policies.

2.            Compensation

salary or wages earned through the date of termination, but all rights to any other compensation or benefits arising hereunder

date of this Agreement.

 

3.          After

of action or proceeding contesting any termination without Cause which occurs after the expiration of the Initial Term. In the
event Employee’s termination is for Cause – either during the Initial Term or at any time thereafter – Employee

or for any other reason to secure Employee’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application of any United States or

then Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Drone USA and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s
agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Employee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and
to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon
