THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)

RECITALS

 

THE PARTIES ENTER THIS AGREEMENT
on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions:

 

A.       The
Company desires to further employ the Executive, and the Executive desires to accept such employment, on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.

 

B.       This
Agreement shall govern the employment relationship between the Employee and the Company from and after the Effective Date and, as of the
Effective Date, supersedes and negates all previous agreements and understandings with respect to such relationship.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the above recitals incorporated herein and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.       Retention and Duties.

 

1.1        Retention.
The Company does hereby hire, engage and employ the Executive for the Period of Employment (as such term is defined in Section 2)
on the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Executive does hereby accept and agree to such hiring, engagement
and employment, on the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in
Section 5.5 of this Agreement.

 

1.2       Duties.
During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall serve the Company as its Chief Financial Officer and, during such portion
of the Period of Employment, shall have the powers, authorities, duties and obligations of management usually vested in the office of
the Chief Financial Officer of a company of a similar size and similar nature of the Company, and such other powers, authorities, duties
and obligations commensurate with such position as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may assign
from time to time, all subject to the directives of the Board and the corporate policies of the Company as they are in effect from time
to time throughout the Period of Employment. During the portion of the Period of Employment that the Executive services as the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer, the Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer.

 

1.3
        No Other Employment; Minimum Time Commitment. During the Period of Employment,
the Executive shall (i) devote substantially all of the Executive’s business time, energy and skill to the performance of the
Executive’s duties for the Company, (ii) perform such duties in a faithful, effective and efficient manner to the best of his
abilities, and (iii) hold no other employment. The Executive’s service on the boards of directors (or similar body) of other
business entities is subject to the prior written approval of the Board. The Company shall have the right to require the Executive
to resign from any board or similar body (including, without limitation, any association, corporate, civic or charitable board or
similar body) which he may then serve if the Board reasonably determines that the Executive’s service on such board or body
interferes with the effective discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company, creates an actual or
apparent conflict of interest with the Executive’s duties, responsibilities or role at the Company, or that any business
related to such service is then in direct or indirect competition with any business of the Company or any of its Affiliates,
successors or assigns.

 

     

     

    

 

1.4       No
Breach of Contract. The Executive hereby represents to the Company and agrees that: (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Executive and the Company and the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s duties hereunder do not and shall not constitute
a breach of, conflict with, or otherwise contravene or cause a default under, the terms of any other agreement or policy to which the
Executive is a party or otherwise bound or any judgment, order or decree to which the Executive is subject; (ii) the Executive will not
enter into any new agreement that would or reasonably could contravene or cause a default by the Executive under this Agreement; (iii)
the Executive has no information (including, without limitation, confidential information and trade secrets) relating to any other Person
which would prevent, or be violated by, the Executive entering into this Agreement or carrying out his duties hereunder; (iv) to the extent
the Executive has any confidential or similar information that he is not free to disclose to the Company, he will not disclose such information
to the extent such disclosure would violate applicable law or any other agreement or policy to which the Executive is a party or by which
the Executive is otherwise bound; and (v) the Executive understands the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the representations
and warranties of the Executive set forth herein and the Executive consents to such reliance.

 

1.5       Travel.
The Executive acknowledges that he will be required to travel from time to time in the course of performing his duties for the Company.
All such travel is subject to written Company policy.

 

2.       Period
of Employment. The “Period of Employment” shall commence on the Effective Date, and end at the close of business
on June 14, 2022 (the “Anniversary Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Period of Employment is subject to earlier
termination as provided below in this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, at the conclusion of the Period of Employment, this Agreement
shall terminate without further action by either party hereto, and no extension of this Agreement is valid except as memorialized in a
writing signed by the Executive and the Chief Executive Officer. For the sake of clarity, if the Company or the Executive do not renew
the terms of this Agreement or execute a new agreement following the expiration of the Period of Employment, the Executive’s employment
by the Company following the expiration of the Period of Employment shall be on an at-will basis and may be terminated by the Company
or by the Executive at any time, for any reason (or for no reason), with or without advance notice.

3.       Compensation.

 

3.1       Base
Salary. During the Period of Employment, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”),
which shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices in effect from time to time but not less frequently
than in monthly installments. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be at an annualized rate of three-hundred thousand US Dollars ($300,000.00).
The Board (or a committee thereof) may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Executive’s rate of Base Salary.

 

3.2       Equity
Award. On June 26, 2020 the Executive was granted an option to purchase shares of common stock in accordance with the Company’s
Equity and Incentive Plan, in the amount of 400,000 incentive stock options (the “2020 Options”). Nothing contained
in this agreement in anyway changes, alters, forfeits, or otherwise modifies the terms of the 2020 Options.

 

3.3        Incentive
Bonus. Commencing with 2020 the Executive shall be eligible to receive an incentive bonus for each fiscal year of the Company
that occurs during the Period of Employment (“Incentive Bonus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, the Executive must be employed by the Company at the time the Company pays incentive bonuses to
executives generally with respect to a particular fiscal year in order to earn and be eligible for an Incentive Bonus for that year (and,
if the Executive is not so employed at such time, in no event shall he have been considered to have “earned” any Incentive
Bonus with respect to the fiscal year). The Executive’s actual Incentive Bonus amount for a particular fiscal year shall be determined
by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion, based on performance objectives (which may include corporate, business unit
or division, financial, strategic, individual or other objectives) established with respect to that particular fiscal year by the Board
(or a committee thereof), using targeted guidance of 0-100% of annualized salary. The Incentive Bonus will be paid to the Executive upon
the earlier of: (x) the date when bonuses are paid to any other executive level employee or (y) 60 days after the end of the prior calendar
year to which the Incentive Bonus relates.

 

4.       Benefits.

 

4.1        Retirement,
Welfare and Fringe Benefits. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee pension
and welfare benefit plans and programs, and fringe benefit plans and programs, made available by the Company to the Company’s employees
generally, in accordance with the eligibility and participation provisions of such plans and as such plans or programs may be in effect
from time to time. Except as explicitly stated otherwise in this Agreement, the Company may modify, suspend or discontinue any benefit
plans, policies and practices at any time without notice to, or recourse by, the Executive, so long as such action is taken generally
with respect to other similarly situated executives employed by the Company.

 

4.2       Reimbursement
of Business Expenses. The Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in carrying out the Executive’s duties
for the Company under this Agreement and shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses the Executive
incurs during the Period of Employment in connection with carrying out the Executive’s duties for the Company, subject to the
Company’s written expense reimbursement policies and any pre-approval policies in effect from time to time. The Executive
agrees to promptly submit and document any reimbursable expenses in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement
policies to facilitate the timely reimbursement of such expenses.

 

    - 3 -

     

    

 

4.3        Paid
Time Off and Other Leave. During the Period of Employment, the Executive’s annual rate of paid time off accrual shall be
one-hundred and twenty hours (120) per year, with such time off to accrue and be subject to the Company’s PTO policies in effect
for executives of the Company from time to time, including any policy which may limit time off accruals and/or limit the amount of accrued
but unused time off to carry over from year to year. The Executive shall also be entitled to all other holiday and leave pay generally
available to other executives of the Company.

 

5.          Termination.

 

5.1        Termination
by the Company. During the Period of Employment, the Executive’s employment by the Company, and the Period of Employment,
may be terminated at any time by the Company: (i) with Cause, or (ii) with no less than thirty (30) days’ advance written notice
to the Executive (such notice to be delivered in accordance with Section 18), without Cause, or (iii) in the event of the Executive’s
death, or (iv) in the event that the Board determines in good faith that the Executive has a Disability.

 

5.2        Termination
by the Executive. During the Period of Employment, the Executive’s employment by the Company, and the Period of Employment,
may be terminated by the Executive with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Company (such notice to be delivered in
accordance with Section 18), unless the necessity of such advance written notice is waived by the Company. In the case of a termination
for Good Reason, the Executive may provide immediate written notice of termination (or verbal notice of termination if the necessity of
written notice is waived by the Company) once the applicable cure period (as contemplated by the definition of Good Reason) has lapsed
if the Company has not reasonably cured the circumstances that gave rise to the basis for the Good Reason termination. The Company may
direct the Executive to refrain from performing the Executive’s duties, and/or place the Executive on paid administrative leave,
during the thirty (30) day notice period (or any portion thereof), and such action shall not constitute a breach by the Company of this
Agreement nor shall it constitute Good Reason.

 

5.3       Benefits
upon Termination. If the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated for any reason by the Company or by the Executive
(the date that the Executive’s employment by the Company terminates is referred to as the “Severance Date”),
the Company shall have no further obligation to make or provide to the Executive, and the Executive shall have no further right to receive
or obtain from the Company, any payments or benefits except as follows:

 

(a)       The Company
shall pay the Executive (or, in the event of his death, the Executive’s estate) any Accrued Obligations;

 

(b)       If the Executive’s
employment with the Company terminates during the Period of Employment as a result of a termination by the Company without Cause (other
than due to the Executive’s death or Disability) or a resignation by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled
to the following benefits:

 

    - 4 -

     

    

 

(i)       The
Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive (in addition to the Accrued Obligations) for the employer-paid portion of the premiums charged
to continue medical coverage, plus a severance payment which is detailed in Section 5.3(b)(ii). Such amount is referred to hereinafter
as the “Severance Benefit.” The coverage of medical premiums is pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act (“COBRA”), at the same or reasonably equivalent medical coverage for the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s
eligible dependents) as in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date, to the extent that the Executive elects such continued coverage;
provided that the Company’s obligation to make any payment or reimbursement pursuant to this clause (i) shall, subject to Section
21(b), commence with continuation coverage on the day immediately following the date the Executive’s separation from service occurs
and shall cease with continuation coverage for the sixth month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service
occurs (or, if earlier, shall cease upon the first to occur of the Executive’s death, the date the Executive becomes eligible for
coverage under the health plan of a future employer, or the date the Company ceases to offer group medical coverage to its active executive
employees or the Company is otherwise under no obligation to offer COBRA continuation coverage to the Executive). To the extent the Executive
elects COBRA coverage, he shall notify the Company in writing of such election prior to such coverage taking effect and complete any other
continuation coverage enrollment procedures the Company may then have in place. The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section
5.3(b)(i) are subject to the Company’s ability to comply with applicable law and provide such benefit without resulting in material
adverse tax consequences.

 

(ii)       On
the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive’s Separation from Service, subject to the execution of the general release
attached as Exhibit A and other requirements of Paragraph 5.4 below, if the Executive has completed at least six months active and continuous
employment with the Company, the Company shall pay the Executive the amount of Base Salary equal to one (1) week at the rate of pay upon
separation per every one (1) month that the Executive was actively and continuously employed by the Company up to a maximum of twelve
(12) months; provided, however, the amount of these additional severance payments will be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of compensation
for providing services (whether as employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise) earned by Executive from any source following
the Severance Date. In no case shall the total payment owed under this Paragraph 5.3(b)(ii) exceed the total Base Salary earned by the
Executive in the prior twelve (12) months, regardless of the Executive’s tenure at the time of separation. For the purposes of clarity,
any calendar month in which the Executive is actively employed by the Company for at least one (1) business day counts as a full month
for the purposes of this payment. The duration of Executive’s active and continuous employment with the Company shall be calculated
without regard to the employment agreement then in effect, so long as the Executive was actively and continuously employed by the Company.

 

    - 5 -

     

    

 

(iii)        Subject
to the requirements of any award agreement between Executive and the Company, any other stock option or other equity-based award granted
by the Company to the Executive that is then-outstanding and unvested on the Severance Date shall terminate on the Severance Date and
the Executive shall have no further right with respect thereto or in respect thereof.

 

(c)       If
the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Period of Employment as a result of the Executive’s death
or Disability, the Company’s obligation to pay the Executive shall terminate on the date of the death or Disability. The Executive’s
then-outstanding stock option and other equity-based awards granted by the Company to Executive shall be treated as provided in Section
5.3(b)(iii).

 

(d)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, if the Executive breaches his obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement at any time,
from and after the date of such breach and not in any way in limitation of any right or remedy otherwise available to the Company, the
Executive will no longer be entitled to, and the Company will no longer be obligated to pay, any remaining unpaid portion of the Severance
Benefit, or to any continued Company-paid or reimbursed coverage pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(i); provided that, if the Executive provides
the Release contemplated by Section 5.4, in no event shall the Executive be entitled to benefits pursuant to Section 5.3(b) of less than
$5,000 (or the amount of such benefits, if less than $5,000), which amount the parties agree is good and adequate consideration, in and
of itself, for the Executive’s Release contemplated by Section 5.4.

 

(e)       The
foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not affect: (i) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise due terminated employees
under group insurance coverage consistent with the terms of the applicable Company welfare benefit plan; (ii) the Executive’s rights
under COBRA to continue health coverage; or (iii) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise due in accordance with the terms
of the Company’s 401(k) plan (if any).

 

5.4       Release;
Exclusive Remedy; Leave.

 

(a)       This
Section 5.4 shall apply notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement or any stock option or other equity-based award agreement
to the contrary. As a condition precedent to any Company obligation to the Executive pursuant to Section 5.3(b) or any other obligation
contained herein, the Executive shall provide the Company with a valid, executed general release agreement in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (with such changes as may be reasonably required to such form to help ensure its enforceability in light of
any changes in applicable law) (the “Release”), and such Release shall have not been revoked by the Executive pursuant
to any revocation rights afforded by applicable law. The Company shall provide the final form of Release to the Executive not later than
seven (7) days following the Severance Date, and the Executive shall be required to execute and return the Release to the Company within
seven (7) days (or such longer period of time as may be required to make the Release maximally enforceable under the Older Workers Benefit
Protection Act or other applicable law) after the Company provides the form of Release to the Executive.

 

    - 6 -

     

    

(b)       The
Executive agrees that the payments and benefits contemplated by Section 5.3 shall constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination
of his employment and the Executive covenants not to assert or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity, with respect to of the Executive’s
employment with the Company or its Affiliates. The Executive agrees to resign, on the Severance Date, as an officer and director of the
Company and any Affiliate of the Company, and as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, and to
promptly execute and provide to the Company any further documentation, as requested by the Company, to confirm such resignation, and to
remove himself as a signatory on any accounts maintained by the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any of their respective benefit plans).

 

(c)       In
the event that the Company provides the Executive notice of termination without Cause pursuant to Section 5.1 or the Executive provides
the Company notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.2, the Company will have the option to place the Executive on paid administrative
leave during the notice period.

6.       Protective
Covenants.

 

6.0        Acknowledgement.

 

(a) The Executive understands that
the nature of the Executive’s position gives him access to and knowledge of Confidential Information and places him in a position
of trust and confidence with the Company.

 

The Executive further understands and
acknowledges that the Company’s ability to reserve the Confidential Information for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company
is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Company, and that improper use or disclosure by the Executive is likely
to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity.

 

6.1        Confidential
Information; Inventions.

 

(a)       The
Executive shall not disclose or use at any time, either during the Period of Employment or thereafter, any Confidential Information
(as defined below) of which the Executive is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by him, except to the
extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by the Executive’s performance in good faith of duties
for the Company. The Executive will take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information in his possession and to
protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. The Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of
the Period of Employment, or at any time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and
software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information or the Work Product (as
hereinafter defined) of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates which the Executive may then possess or have under his
control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may truthfully respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process,
but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make
available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought, and shall assist the Company and such counsel
in resisting or otherwise responding to such process.

(b)       The
Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit the Executive’s right (i) to discuss the terms, wages,
and working conditions of the Executive’s employment to the extent permitted and/or protected by applicable labor laws, (ii) to
report Confidential Information in a confidential manner either to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney where
such disclosure is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, (iii) testify in an
administrative, legislative or judicial proceeding about alleged criminal conduct or alleged sexual harassment; or (iv) to disclose Confidential
Information in an anti-retaliation lawsuit or other legal proceeding, so long as that disclosure or filing is made under seal and the
Executive does not otherwise disclose such Confidential Information, except pursuant to court order. The Company encourages Executive,
to the extent legally permitted, to give the Company the earliest possible notice of any such report or disclosure.

 

(i)        Pursuant
to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive acknowledges that he may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal
or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Confidential Information that: (i) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local
government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected
violation of law; or is made in a complaint or other document that is filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided that such filing
is made under seal. Further, the Executive understands that the Company will not retaliate against him in any way for any such disclosure
made in accordance with the law. In the event a disclosure is made, and the Executive files any type of proceeding against the Company
alleging that the Company retaliated against him because of his disclosure, the Executive may disclose the relevant Confidential Information
to his attorney and may use the Confidential Information in the proceeding if (i) the Executive files any document containing the Confidential
Information under seal, and (ii) the Executive does not otherwise disclose the Confidential Information except pursuant to court or arbitral
order.

in this Agreement or any other agreement that Executive has with the Company shall prohibit Executive from (i) disclosing the underlying
facts or circumstances relating to claims of sexual harassment, sex discrimination, sexual assault, failure to prevent an act of workplace
harassment or discrimination based on sex or an act of retaliation against a person for reporting harassment or discrimination based on
sex or any other unlawful or potentially unlawful conduct or (ii) responding to a valid subpoena, court order or similar legal process;
provided, however, that prior to making any such disclosure, Executive shall provide the Company with written notice of the subpoena,
court order or similar legal process sufficiently in advance of such disclosure to afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to challenge
the subpoena, court order or similar legal process.

 

(c)       As
used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by the Company or its Affiliates in connection with
their respective businesses, including, but not limited to, information, observations and data obtained by the Executive while employed
by the Company or its Affiliates or any predecessors thereof (including those obtained prior to the Effective Date) concerning (i) the
business or affairs of the Company or its Affiliates (or such predecessors), (ii) products or services, (iii) fees, costs and pricing
structures and strategies, (iv) designs, (v) analyses, (vi) drawings, photographs and reports, (vii) computer software, including operating

methods, (xi) inventions, devices, new developments, product roadmaps, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether
or not reduced to practice, (xii) customers and clients, customer or client lists, and the preferences of, and negotiations with, customers
and clients, (xiii) personnel information of other employees and independent contractors (including their compensation, unique skills,
experience and expertise, and disciplinary matters), (xiv) other copyrightable works, (xv) all production methods, processes, technology
and trade secrets, and (xvi) all similar and related information in whatever form. Confidential Information will not include any information
that has been published (other than a disclosure by the Executive in breach of this Agreement) in a form generally available to the public
prior to the date the Executive proposes to disclose or use such information. Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been
published merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising
such information have been published in combination.

 

(d)       As
used in this Agreement, the term “Work Product” means all inventions, innovations, improvements, technical
information, systems, software developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, service marks, trademarks, trade names,
logos and all similar or related information (whether patentable or unpatentable, copyrightable, registerable as a trademark,
reduced to writing, or otherwise) which relates to the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ actual or anticipated
business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by the
Executive (whether or not during usual business hours, whether or not by the use of the facilities of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, and whether or not alone or in conjunction with any other person) while employed by the Company or its Affiliates
(including those conceived, developed or made prior to the Effective Date) together with all patent applications, letters patent,
trademark, trade name and service mark applications or registrations, copyrights and reissues thereof that may be granted for or
upon any of the foregoing. All Work Product that the Executive may have discovered, invented or originated during his employment by
the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date, that he may discover, invent or originate during the Period of
Employment or at any time in the period of twelve (12) months after the Severance Date, shall be the exclusive property of the
Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, and Executive hereby assigns all of Executive’s right, title and interest in and to
such Work Product to the Company or its applicable Affiliate, including all intellectual property rights therein. Executive shall
promptly disclose all Work Product to the Company, shall execute at the request of the Company any assignments or other documents
the Company may deem necessary to protect or perfect its (or any of its Affiliates’, as applicable) rights therein, and shall
assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s (or any of its
Affiliates’, as applicable) rights therein. The Executive hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact to execute on
his behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by the Company to protect or perfect the Company, the Company’s
(and any of its Affiliates’, as applicable) rights to any Work Product.

6.2       Restriction
on Competition. The Executive agrees that if the Executive were to become employed by, or substantially involved in, the business
of a competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliates during the twelve (12) month period following the Severance Date, it would be
very difficult for the Executive not to rely on or use the Company’s and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and confidential information.
Thus, to avoid the inevitable disclosure of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and confidential information,
and to protect such trade secrets and confidential information and the Company’s and its Affiliates’ relationships and goodwill
with customers, during the Period of Employment and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Severance Date, the Executive will not
directly or indirectly through any other Person engage in, enter the employ of, render any services to, have any ownership interest in,
nor participate in the financing, operation, management or control of, the financial operations or management of any Competing Business.
For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “directly or indirectly through any other Person engage in” shall include, without
limitation, any direct or indirect ownership or profit participation interest in such enterprise, whether as an owner, stockholder, member,
partner, joint venturer or otherwise, and shall include any direct or indirect participation in such enterprise as an employee, consultant,
director, officer, licensor of technology or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Business” means
a Person anywhere in the continental United States and Canada where the Company and its Affiliates engage in business, or reasonably anticipate
engaging in business, on the Severance Date (the “Restricted Area”) that at any time during the Period of Employment
has competed, or any and time during the twelve (12) month period following the Severance Date competes, with any business engaged in
by the Company or any of its Affiliates. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of
the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as the Executive has no active participation in
the business of such corporation.

 

6.3       Non-Solicitation
of Employees and Consultants. During the Period of Employment and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Severance Date,
the Executive will not directly or indirectly through any other Person solicit, induce or encourage, or attempt to solicit, induce or
encourage, any employee or independent contractor of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to leave the employ or service, as applicable,
of the Company or such Affiliate, or become employed or engaged by any third party, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
the Company or any such Affiliate, on the one hand, and any employee or independent contractor thereof, on the other hand.

 

6.4       Non-Interference
with Customers. During the Period of Employment and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Severance Date, the Executive
will not, directly or indirectly through any other Person, influence or attempt to influence customers, vendors, suppliers, licensors,
lessors, joint venturers, associates, consultants, agents, or partners of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to divert their
business away from the Company or such Affiliate, and the Executive will not otherwise interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the
business relationships, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, on the one hand, and any of its
or their customers, suppliers, vendors, lessors, licensors, joint venturers, associates, officers, employees, consultants, managers, partners,
members or investors, on the other hand, in the Restricted Area.

 

    - 12 -

     

    

 

The Executive understands
and acknowledges that loss of this customer relationship and/or goodwill will cause significant and irreparable harm.

 

The Executive agrees
and covenants, during twelve (12) months, to run consecutively, beginning on the last day of the Executive’s employment with the
Company, not to directly or indirectly solicit, contact (including but not limited to e-mail, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax,
and instant message), attempt to contact, or meet with the Company’s current customers for purposes of offering or accepting goods
or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Company.

 

This restriction shall only apply to:

 

(a)       Customers
the Executive contacted in any way during the past twelve (12) months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment;

 

(b)       Customers
about whom the Executive has Trade Secret or Confidential Information; and

 

(c)       Customers
who did business with the Company during the Executive’s employment with the Company.

 

6.5       Cooperation;
Social Media. Following the Executive’s last day of employment by the Company, the Executive shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company and its Affiliates in connection with the transition of the Executive’s duties, with respect to any
internal or governmental investigation or administrative, regulatory, arbitral or judicial proceeding involving the Company and any
Affiliates with respect to matters relating to the Executive’s employment with, or service as a member of the board of
directors of the Company or any Affiliate, and with respect to any audit of the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate
with respect to the period of time when the Executive was employed by the Company or any Affiliate. The Company will reimburse the
Executive for any expenses that he reasonably incurs in connection with such cooperation. In addition, on the last day of
Executive’s employment, Executive agrees to update Executive’s profile on social media websites (such as LinkedIn) to
reflect that Executive is no longer an employee of the Company.

 

    - 13 -

     

    

 

 

6.6        Understanding
of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that, in the course of his employment with the Company and/or its Affiliates and their
predecessors, he has become familiar, or will become familiar with the Company’s and its Affiliates’ and their predecessors’
trade secrets and with other confidential and proprietary information concerning the Company, its Affiliates and their respective predecessors
and that his services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive
agrees that the foregoing covenants set forth in this Section 6 (together, the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable
and necessary to protect the Company’s and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information,
good will, stable workforce, and customer relations.

 

Without limiting the generality of the Executive’s
agreement in the preceding paragraph, the Executive (i) represents that he is familiar with and has carefully considered the Restrictive
Covenants, (ii) represents that he is fully aware of his obligations hereunder, (iii) agrees to the reasonableness of the length of time,
scope and geographic coverage, as applicable, of the Restrictive Covenants, (iv) agrees that the Company and its Affiliates currently
conducts business throughout the continental United States and Canada, and (v) agrees that the Restrictive Covenants will continue in
effect for the applicable periods set forth above in this Section 6 regardless of whether the Executive is then entitled to receive severance
pay or benefits from the Company. The Executive understands that the Restrictive Covenants may limit his ability to earn a livelihood
in a business similar to the business of the Company and any of its Affiliates, but he nevertheless believes that he has received and
will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Company and as otherwise provided hereunder or as described
in the recitals hereto to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event (given his education, skills and ability), the Executive
does not believe would prevent him from otherwise earning a living. The Executive agrees that the Restrictive Covenants do not confer
a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to the detriment of the Executive.

 

6.7       Enforcement.
The Executive agrees that the Executive’s services are unique and that he has access to Confidential Information and Work
Product. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of Section 17, the Executive agrees that a breach by the Executive of any of
the covenants in this Section 6 may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult or impossible to
measure, and that damages to the Company for any such injury would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Therefore,
the Executive agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 6, the Company shall be
entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies the Company may have under this Agreement, at law or
otherwise, to seek specific performance, injunctive relief and/or other appropriate relief (without posting any bond or deposit) in
order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Section 6, or require the Executive to account for and pay over
to the Company all compensation, profits, moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived from or received as a result of any
transactions constituting a breach of this Section 6 if and when final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator,
as applicable, is so entered against the Executive. The Executive further agrees that the applicable period of time any Restrictive
Covenant is in effect following the Severance Date, as determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, shall be
extended by the same amount of time that Executive is in breach of any Restrictive Covenant following the Severance Date.

 

    - 14 -

     

    

 

7.       Withholding
Taxes. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case
may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment,
or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. Except for such withholding rights, the
Executive is solely responsible for any and all tax liability that may arise with respect to the compensation provided under or pursuant
to this Agreement.

 

8.       Successors
and Assigns.

 

(a)       This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s
legal representatives.

 

(b)       This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality
of the preceding sentence, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise)
to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly 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 such succession had taken place. As used in
this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee, as applicable, which
assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

 

9.       Number
and Gender; Examples. Where the context requires, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular,
and any gender shall include all other genders. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein,
such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which
it relates.

 

10.       Section
Headings. The section headings, and titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained in this Agreement are for the purpose of
convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof.

 

11.       Governing
Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Arizona, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the state of Arizona or any other jurisdiction) that would cause
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of Arizona to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the state
of Arizona will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or
conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

 

    - 15 -

     

    

 

12.       Severability.
It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision
of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or determined by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 16 to be
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights and obligations of any party under this Agreement
will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating
the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and
to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable; furthermore, in lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision
there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid
or unenforceable provision as may be possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn (as to geographic
scope, period of duration or otherwise) so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

13.       Entire
Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the matters within its scope. This Agreement
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements of the parties hereto that directly or indirectly bears upon the subject matter hereof,
including any prior employment agreements with the Company or any of its Affiliates, including and without limitation the employment agreement
between the Executive and the Company dated June 15, 2020. Any prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals or understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof shall be deemed to have been merged into this Agreement, and to the extent inconsistent herewith,
such negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals, or understandings shall be deemed to be of no force or effect. There are no
representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof,
except as expressly set forth herein.

 

14.       Modifications.
This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal, definitive written agreement expressly
referring to this Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the parties hereto.

 

15.       Waiver.
Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect
to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall
be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

 

    - 16 -

     

    

 

16.       Arbitration. Except
as provided in Sections 6.7 and 17, any non-time barred, legally actionable controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, its enforcement, arbitrability or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in
connection with any of its provisions, or any other non-time barred, legally actionable controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to the Executive’s employment or association with the Company or termination of the same, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any alleged violation of state or federal statute, common law or constitution, shall be submitted
to individual, final and binding arbitration, to be held in Maricopa County, Arizona, before a single arbitrator selected from
Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration
Rules and Procedures for employment disputes, as modified by the terms and conditions in this Section (which may be found at www.jamsadr.com
under the Rules/Clauses tab). The parties will select the arbitrator by mutual agreement or, if the parties cannot agree, then by
striking from a list of qualified arbitrators supplied by JAMS from their labor and employment law panel. Final resolution of any
dispute through arbitration may include any remedy or relief that is provided for through any applicable state or federal statutes,
or common law. Statutes of limitations shall be the same as would be applicable were the action to be brought in court. The
arbitrator selected pursuant to this Agreement may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the
issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall
issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award or decision
is based. Any award or relief granted by the arbitrator under this Agreement shall be final and binding on the parties to this
Agreement and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company will pay those arbitration costs that are unique
to arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fee (recognizing that each side bears its own deposition, witness, expert and
attorneys’ fees and other expenses to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in court). If, however, any party
prevails on a statutory claim, which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the arbitrator may award
reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party. The arbitrator may not award attorneys’ fees to a party that would not
otherwise be entitled to such an award under the applicable statute. The arbitrator shall resolve any dispute as to the
reasonableness of any fee or cost. Except as provided in Section 6.7 and 17, the parties acknowledge and agree that they are
hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury or a court in any action or proceeding brought by either of the parties against the other
in connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or the Executive’s
employment.

 

17.       Remedies.
Each of the parties to this Agreement and any such person or entity granted rights hereunder whether or not such person or entity is a signatory hereto shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement
specifically to recover damages and costs for any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing
in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions
of this Agreement and that each party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for provisional
injunctive or equitable relief and/or other appropriate equitable relief (without posting any bond or deposit) in order to enforce or
prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. Each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees,
costs and other expenses pertaining to any such legal proceeding and enforcement regardless of whether an award or finding or any judgment
or verdict thereon is entered against either party.

email, mailed by first class mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) or sent by reputable overnight courier service
(charges prepaid) to the recipient at the address below indicated or at such other address or to the attention of such other person

19.       Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose
signature appears thereon, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding
when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon

20.       Legal
Counsel; Mutual Drafting. Each party recognizes that this is a legally binding contract and acknowledges and agrees that they
have had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of their choice. Each party has cooperated in the drafting, negotiation and preparation
of this Agreement. Hence, in any construction to be made of this Agreement, the same shall not be construed against either party on the
basis of that party being the drafter of such language. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that he has read and understands this Agreement,
is entering into it freely and voluntarily, and has been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this Agreement and has had ample
opportunity to do so. Executive hereby acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, shareholders, directors, managers,

advice with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement.

 

21.       Section
409A.

 

(a)       It
is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code
(including the Treasury regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) (“Code Section 409A”) so as
not to subject the Executive to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A. The provisions
of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under
Code Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to the Executive. Any
installment payments provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as a series of separate payments for purposes of Code Section
409A. Except for the Company’s responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or
provided to Executive, the Company will not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation paid or provided
pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the time nor schedule of
any payment under this Agreement may be accelerated or subject to further deferral except as permitted by Code Section 409A. Except
as set forth herein and as permitted by Code Section 409A, Executive does not have any right to make any election regarding the time
or form of any payment due under this Agreement.

(b)       If
the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the
Executive’s Separation from Service, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit pursuant to Section 5.3(b) or
(c) until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after his or her Separation from Service for any reason other than death,
or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death. The provisions of this Section 21(b) shall only apply if, and to the extent, required
to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive
upon or in the six (6) month period following the Executive’s Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section
21(b) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6)
months after the Executive’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30)
days, after the date of the Executive’s death).

 

(c)       To
the extent that any benefits pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(ii) or reimbursements pursuant to Section 4.2 are taxable to the Executive, any
reimbursement payment due to the Executive pursuant to any such provision shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of
the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The benefits and reimbursements
pursuant to such provisions are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements
that the Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that the Executive receives
in any other taxable year.

EXHIBIT A

 

FORM OF GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT

 

1.        Release.
Brad Hoch (“Executive”), on his own behalf and on behalf of his descendants, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators,
assigns and successors, and each of them, hereby acknowledges full and complete satisfaction of and releases and discharges and covenants
not to sue Tilt Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), its divisions, subsidiaries, parents, or affiliated corporations,
past and present, and each of them, as well as its and their assignees, successors, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, representatives,
attorneys, agents or employees, past or present, or any of them (individually and collectively, “Releasees”), from
and with respect to any and all claims, agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected,
arising out of or in any way connected with Executive’s employment or any other relationship with or interest in the Company or
the termination thereof, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim for severance pay, profit sharing, bonus
or similar benefit, pension, retirement, life insurance, health or medical insurance or any other fringe benefit, or disability, or any
other claims, agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected resulting from any act
or omission by or on the part of Releasees committed or omitted prior to the date of this General Release Agreement (this “Agreement”)
set forth below, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance,
constitution or common law (collectively, the “Claims”); provided, however, that the foregoing release does not apply
to any obligation of the Company to Executive pursuant to any of the following: (1) any right to indemnification that Executive may have
pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, its corporate charter or under any written indemnification agreement with the Company (or any
corresponding provision of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) with respect to any loss, damages or expenses (including but not
limited to attorneys’ fees to the extent otherwise provided) that Executive may in the future incur with respect to his service
as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (2) with respect to any rights that Executive
may have to insurance coverage for such losses, damages or expenses under any Company (or subsidiary or affiliate) directors and officers
liability insurance policy; (3) any rights to continued medical and dental coverage that Executive may have under COBRA; or (4) any rights
to payment of benefits that Executive may have under a retirement plan sponsored or maintained by the Company that is intended to qualify
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, this release does not cover any Claim that cannot
be so released as a matter of applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Executive
from filing a charge with or participating in an investigation conducted by any state or federal government agencies. However, Executive
does waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to receive any monetary or other recovery, should any agency or any other
person pursue any claims on Executive’s behalf arising out of any claim released pursuant to this Agreement. For clarity, and as
required by law, such waiver does not prevent Executive from accepting a whistleblower award from the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

    - 21 -

     

    

 

Executive acknowledges and agrees that
he has received any and all leave and other benefits that he has been and is entitled to pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act
of 1993.

 

2.      Acknowledgement
of Payment of Wages. Except for accrued vacation (which the parties agree totals approximately
[     ] days of pay) and salary for the current pay period, Executive
 acknowledges that
he has received all amounts owed for his regular and usual salary (including, but not limited to, any bonus, incentive or other
wages), and usual benefits through the date of this Agreement.

 

3.       Waiver
of Unknown Claims. This Agreement is intended to be effective as a general release of and bar to each and every Claim hereinabove

COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS
COMPENSATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this May 13, 2021 (“Agreement
Date”), by and between TILT Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), and Mark Scatterday (the “Executive”).
The Company and the Executive are referred to herein collectively as the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

THE
PARTIES ENTER THIS AGREEMENT on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions:

 

A.           The
Company and Executive previously entered into that certain Employment Agreement (the “Original Agreement”), dated August 16,
2019 (the “Original Agreement Date”).

 

B.            The
Company and Executive desire to enter into this Agreement, which supersedes the Original Agreement, in connection with Executive’s
transition of an employee with the title of Chief Executive Officer to a non-employee with the title of Chairman of the Board.

 

C.            This
Agreement shall be effective as of the Agreement Date, and shall govern the relationship with respect to the matters set forth herein
between the Executive and the Company from and after the Agreement Date, and, as of the Agreement Date, supersedes and negates all previous
agreements and understandings with respect to the matters set forth herein.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals incorporated herein and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:

 

		1.	Retention and Duties.

 

		1.1	Separation of Employment and Ongoing Duties. Until May 28, 2021 (the “Commencement
Date”), the Executive shall continue to be employed by and serve the Company as its Chief Executive Officer. On the Commencement
Date, Executive shall resign his position as Chief Executive Officer but shall remain a non-employee member of the Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Board”) and shall retain the title of Chairman of the Board (“Chairman”). As
the Chairman, the Executive will (i) have the customary duties and obligations of the Chairman of the Board of a Canadian public
company, (ii) make himself available for mutually agreeable special projects, and (iii) have the authority to execute documents
on behalf of the Company solely to the extent specifically authorized by the Board or the then Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
In all cases, during the Term, Executive shall have such powers, authorities, duties and obligations as the Board may assign from time
to time, all subject to the directives of the Board and the written corporate policies of the Company as they are in effect from time
to time, and the Executive shall report to the Board. Upon his resignation of Chief Executive Officer, Executive shall not relinquish
any of his computer hardware, but shall continue to use and be in possession of his computer hardware during the Term (as defined below)
of this Agreement.

 

    1

     

    

 

		1.2	Travel. The
Executive acknowledges that he may be required to travel from time to time in the course of performing his duties for the Company
and, in such case, Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable travel expenses Executive incurs during the Term in
connection with carrying out his duties as Chairman, subject to the Company’s expenses reimbursement policies as in effect from
time to time. When traveling via air on Company business, Executive is authorized to travel “business” and if there is not
a “business” class on a particular flight, the next higher class (if any) above coach on that flight. Executive agrees to
promptly submit any reimbursable expenses to the Company.

 

		2.	Term. The “Term”
shall begin on the Agreement Date and continue for a period of at least one-year from the Agreement Date and all of the terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one year periods, unless either Party gives thirty (30) days prior written
notice of such Party’s desire to terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Term” shall include
any renewal periods pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

		3.	Compensation.

 

		3.1	Base Salary and Incentive Bonus while Chief Executive Officer. Through the Commencement Date, the Company shall continue
to pay the Executive an annualized base salary of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), which shall be paid in accordance with the
Company’s regular payroll practices. For the fiscal year 2021, the Board shall also consider Executive for a prorated incentive
bonus for the period of time during which he served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which bonus amount, if any, shall be determined
in the sole discretion of the Board. If any bonus is awarded it will be based on performance objectives established with respect to that
particular fiscal year by the Board (or a committee thereof). If Executive is awarded an incentive bonus for the fiscal year 2021, it
shall be paid to the Executive at the same time as the other executive officers of the Company are paid bonuses for the fiscal year 2021.
To the extent this Agreement is terminated (by either party) prior to payment of by the Company of bonuses for fiscal year 2021, this
contractual obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

		3.2	Equity Awards while Chairman. After the Commencement Date, as compensation for his services
as Chairman and in exchange for completing mutually agreeable special projects, the Board shall grant Executive the awards of restricted
stock units (“RSUs”) and other equity incentives set forth in Exhibit A, which Exhibit is incorporated
into this Agreement by this reference. The RSUs shall vest in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit A and shall be
granted pursuant to the TILT Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The other
equity incentives shall be issued in accordance with the terms set out in Exhibit A. To the extent that Executive performs
services beyond the initial one year term or special projects not contemplated by Exhibit A, the Executive and the then-serving
Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall meet and discuss any additional RSUs or compensation that will be granted in exchange for
such services; provided that the Company is under no obligation to award any additional RSUs or compensation other than the RSU’s
or compensation addressed in Exhibit A and the Executive is under no obligation to continue providing services beyond the
initial term of this Agreement or perform any special projects for the Company.

 

    2

     

    

 

		4.	Benefits.

 

		4.1	Retirement, Welfare and
Fringe Benefits.

 

		(a)	Through the Commencement Date, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all pension and welfare
benefit plans and programs, and fringe benefit plans and programs, made available by the Company to the Company’s executives generally,
in accordance with the eligibility and participation provisions of such plans and as such plans or programs may be in effect from time
to time.

 

		(b)	Following the Commencement Date, the Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for his premiums charged
to continue medical coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), at the same
or reasonably equivalent medical coverage for the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents) as in effect
immediately prior to the Commencement Date, to the extent that the Executive elects such continued coverage; provided that the Company’s
obligation to make any such payment or reimbursement shall, subject to Section 22(b), commence with continuation coverage for the
month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs and shall cease with continuation coverage for
the twelfth month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs (or, if earlier, shall cease upon
the first to occur of the Executive’s death, the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under the comparable health plan
of a future employer, or the date the Company ceases to offer group medical coverage to its active executive employees or the Company
is otherwise under no legal obligation to offer COBRA continuation coverage to the Executive). To the extent the Executive elects COBRA
coverage, he shall notify the Company in writing of such election prior to such coverage taking effect and complete any other continuation
coverage enrollment procedures the Company may then have in place. The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) are
subject to the Company’s ability to comply with applicable law and provide such benefit without resulting in adverse tax consequences,
and, if the Company determines, in good faith, that it cannot satisfies its obligations pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) due
to such adverse tax consequences then, within thirty (30) days following Executive’s Separation from Service, the Company shall
pay to Executive a single sum cash payment equal to twelve (12) times the monthly amount that is charged to COBRA qualified beneficiaries
for the same medical coverage options elected by Executive immediately prior to his Separation from Service.

 

    3

     

    

 

		4.2	Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses
including but not limited to international travel in carrying out the Executive’s duties for the Company under this Agreement (including
any travel and entertainment expenses incurred carrying out his duties for the Company) and shall be entitled to reimbursement for all
reasonable business expenses the Executive incurs during the Term, or prior to the Term at any time while the Executive worked for the
Company, in connection with carrying out the Executive’s duties for the Company, subject to the Company’s expense reimbursement
policies and any pre-approval policies in effect from time to time. Specifically, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all travel
expenses related to a trip to China in 2019/2020. When traveling via air on Company business, Executive is authorized to travel “business”
class or, if there is not a “business” class on the particular flight, the next higher class (if any) above coach class on
that flight. The Executive agrees to promptly submit and document any reimbursable expenses in accordance with the Company’s expense
reimbursement policies to facilitate the timely reimbursement of such expenses.

 

		4.3	Impact on Existing Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or the Plan or the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement between the Parties, which evidences the grant on November 22,
2019 of 1,666,667 options (the “Outstanding Options”) to purchase common shares of the Company (the “2019 Award Agreement”),
the Parties acknowledge and agree that all shares subject to this Outstanding Option are already fully vested and that the vested Outstanding
Options shall remain outstanding and exercisable by the Executive after the Commencement Date. The Parties shall enter into an amended
and restated 2019 Award Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Award Agreement”) with respect to the Outstanding Options to
reflect the terms of this Section 4.3 and the status of the Outstanding Options as non-qualified stock options. The Outstanding Options
shall expire on the expiration date determined in accordance with section 6 of the Amended and Restated Award Agreement, which will be
substantially similar to section 6 of the 2019 Award Agreement except that the term “service” in section 6 of the Amended
and Restated Award Agreement shall mean the Executive’s service to the Company under this Agreement.

 

		4.4	Payment of Outstanding Salary; Vacation Pay and Benefits.
Upon the resignation of Executive of his position as Chief Executive Officer, the Company shall immediately pay to Executive the Accrued
Obligations as defined in Section 5.3 owed by the Company up through and including May 27, 2021.

 

		5.	Termination.

 

		5.1	Termination by the Company or the Executive. During the Term, the duties under this Agreement
may be terminated at any time by the Company or Executive with no less than thirty (30) days advance written notice. The effective date
that this Agreement terminates shall be referred to as the “Termination Date”. For clarity, termination of this Agreement
will not affect the Executive’s role as Chairman of the Company or his ability to serve on the Board.

 

    4

     

    

 

		5.2	Benefits Upon Termination. If the Executive’s service is terminated for any reason,
by either the Company or the Executive, the Company shall have no further obligation to make or provide to the Executive, and the Executive
shall have no further right to receive or obtain from the Company, any payments, benefits or vesting of options except as follows:

 

		(a)	The Company shall pay the Executive (or, in the event of his death, the Executive’s spouse or estate)
the Accrued Obligations as defined in 5.4.

 

		(b)	As to then-outstanding stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards granted by the Company to the
Executive that vest based solely on the Executive’s continued service with the Company, the portion of such awards that have not
vested as of the Termination Date shall be cancelled unless Executive’s service has terminated by Executive’s death, disability
or by the Company for any reason, in which case the Executive shall vest as of the Termination Date in any portion of such award that
is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Termination Date.

 

		(c)	Except for the stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards which are covered by Section 5.2(b),
the Company shall remain obligated to promptly issue to Executive (or, in the event of his death, the Executive’s spouse or estate)
the RSUs and other equity incentives set on in Exhibit A provided that the conditions for issuance of such RSUs are met on
the terms set out in Exhibit A.

 

		(d)	The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2
shall not affect: (i) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise due under group insurance coverage consistent with
the terms of the applicable Company welfare benefit plan; (ii) the Executive’s rights under COBRA to continue health coverage
(including the Company’s obligations under Section 4.1(b)); (iii) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise
due in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 401(k) plan (if any); or (iv) the accrued, vested and unpaid benefits,
if any, to which the Executive is entitled pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s benefits plans (other than any
severance benefit plan).

 

		5.3	Certain Defined Terms.

 

		(a)	As used herein, “Accrued Obligations”
means: (i) any base salary that has accrued and not been paid (including accrued and unpaid vacation time) on or before the

		7.	Protective Covenants.

 

		7.1	Confidential Information;
Inventions.

 

		(a)	The Executive shall not disclose or use at any
time, either during the Term or thereafter, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of which the Executive is or becomes aware,
whether or not such information is developed by him, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required
by the Executive’s performance in good faith of duties for the Company. The Executive will take all appropriate steps to safeguard
Confidential Information in his possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. The Executive shall
deliver to the Company at the Termination Date, or at any time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports,
email and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information or the Work Product (as
hereinafter defined) of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates which the Executive may then possess or have under his control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may truthfully respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process as required
of him by law, but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible,
make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought, and shall assist the Company and such counsel
in resisting or otherwise responding to such process. The Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit the
Executive’s right (i) to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of the Executive’s employment or service
to the extent permitted and/or protected by applicable labor laws, (ii) to report Confidential Information in a confidential manner
either to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney where such disclosure is solely for the purpose
of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (iii) to disclose Confidential Information in an anti-retaliation
lawsuit or other legal proceeding, so long as that disclosure or filing is made under seal and the Executive does not otherwise disclose
such Confidential Information, except pursuant to court order. The Company encourages Executive, to the extent legally permitted, to give
the Company the earliest possible notice of any such report or disclosure. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive
acknowledges that he may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Confidential
Information that: (a) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or
to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or
other document that is filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided that such filing is made under seal. Further, the Executive understands
that the Company will not retaliate against him in any way for any such disclosure made in accordance with the law. In the event a disclosure
is made, and the Executive files any type of proceeding against the Company alleging that the Company retaliated against him because of
his disclosure, the Executive may disclose the relevant Confidential Information to his attorney and may use the Confidential Information
in the proceeding if (x) the Executive files any document containing the Confidential Information under seal, and (y) the Executive
does not otherwise disclose the Confidential Information except pursuant to court or arbitral order.

		(b)	As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information”
means information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by the Company or its Affiliates in
connection with their respective businesses, including, but not limited to, information, observations and data obtained by the Executive
while providing service to the Company or its Affiliates or any predecessors thereof (including those obtained prior to the Original Agreement
Date) concerning (i) the business or affairs of the Company or its Affiliates (or such predecessors), (ii) products or
services, (iii) fees, costs and pricing structures and strategies, (iv) designs, (v) analyses, (vi) drawings, photographs
and reports, (vii) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program listings, (viii) flow charts, manuals
and documentation, (ix) data bases, (x) accounting and business methods, (xi) inventions, devices, new developments, product
roadmaps, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice, (xii) customers and clients,
customer or client lists, and the preferences of, and negotiations with, customers and clients, (xiii) personnel information of employees
and independent contractors (including their compensation, unique skills, experience and expertise, and disciplinary matters), (xiv) other
copyrightable works, (xv) all production methods, processes, technology and trade secrets, and (xvi) all similar and related
information in whatever form. Confidential Information will not include any information that has been published (other than a disclosure
by the Executive in breach of this Agreement) in a form generally available to the public prior to the date the Executive proposes to
disclose or use such information. Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been published merely because individual portions
of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising such information have been published in
combination.

 

    10

     

    

 

		(c)	The term “Work Product” means
all inventions, innovations, improvements, technical information, systems, software developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings,
reports, service marks, trademarks, trade names, logos and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable, copyrightable,
registerable as a trademark, reduced to writing, or otherwise) which relates to the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ actual
or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made
by the Executive (whether or not during usual business hours, whether or not by the use of the facilities of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, and whether or not alone or in conjunction with any other person) while employed by or otherwise providing service (including
as Chairman of Company’s Board) to the Company or its Affiliates (including those conceived, developed or made prior to the Agreement
Date) together with all patent applications, letters patent, trademark, trade name and service mark applications or registrations, copyrights
and reissues thereof that may be granted for or upon any of the foregoing. The following Work Product shall be the exclusive property
of the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, and the Executive hereby assigns to the Company or its applicable Affiliate, and agrees
to assign to the Company or its applicable Affiliate at the time of their creation, all of Executive’s right, title and interest
in and to such Work Product, including all intellectual property rights therein: (i) all Work Product that the Executive may
have discovered, invented or originated during his employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates or while otherwise providing services
to the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Agreement Date, (ii) all Work Product that the Executive may discover, invent
or originate during the Term that relates in any way to the Company’s inhalation business (whether or not during usual business
hours, whether or not by the use of the facilities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and whether or not alone or in conjunction
with any other person), and (iii) all Work Product that the Executive may discover, invent or originate during the Term utilizing
the Company’s or its Affiliates facilities, personnel, other resources or Confidential Information. For clarity, Work Product shall
not include anything that the Executive may discover, invent or originate after the Commencement Date that does not relate to the Company’s
inhalation business, and which the Executive discovered, invented or originated without utilizing the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’
facilities, personnel, other resources or Confidential Information. In addition, once the Agreement is terminated the Company shall have
no right to, and Work Product shall not include, anything that the Executive invents, conceptualizes or creates after the termination
of the Agreement. The Executive shall promptly disclose all Work Product to the Company, shall execute at the request of the Company any
assignments or other documents the Company may deem necessary to protect or perfect its (or any of its Affiliates’, as applicable)
rights therein, and shall assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s
(or any of its Affiliates’, as applicable) rights therein. The Executive hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact to
execute on his behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by the Company to protect or perfect, the Company’s (and
any of its Affiliates’, as applicable) rights to any Work Product.

 

    11

     

    

 

		7.2	Restriction on Competition. The Executive agrees that if the Executive were to become employed by, or substantially
involved in, the business of a competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Shenzhen Smoore Technology
Limited or any of its Affiliates) during the twelve (12) month period following the Termination Date, it would be very difficult for the
Executive not to rely on or use the Company’s and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and confidential information. Thus, to avoid
the inevitable disclosure of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and confidential information, and to protect
such trade secrets and confidential information and the Company’s and its Affiliates’ relationships and goodwill with customers,
during the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, the Executive will not directly or indirectly through
any other Person engage in, enter the employ of, render any services to, have any ownership interest in, nor participate in the financing,
operation, management or control of, any Competing Business. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “directly or indirectly
through any other Person engage in” shall include, without limitation, any direct or indirect ownership or profit participation
interest in such enterprise, whether as an owner, stockholder, member, partner, joint venturer or otherwise, and shall include any direct
or indirect participation in such enterprise as an employee, consultant, director, officer, licensor of technology or otherwise. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Competing Business” means a Person anywhere in the continental United States, anywhere in Canada, and
elsewhere in the world where the Company and its Affiliates engage in business, or reasonably anticipate in engaging in business, on the
Termination Date (the “Restricted Area”) and that at any time during the Term has competed, or any time during the twelve
(12) month period following the Termination Date competes, with any business engaged in by the Company or any of its Affiliates. Nothing
herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation
which is publicly traded, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.

 

		7.3	Non-Solicitation of Employees and Consultants. During the Term and for a period of twelve
(12) months after the Termination Date, the Executive will not directly or indirectly through any other Person solicit, induce or encourage,
or attempt to solicit, induce or encourage, any employee or independent contractor of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to leave
the employ or service, as applicable, of the Company or such Affiliate, or become employed or engaged by any third party, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between the Company or any such Affiliate, on the one hand, and any employee or independent contractor
thereof, on the other hand.

 

    12

     

    

 

		7.4	Non-Interference with Customers. During the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months
after the Termination Date, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly through any other Person, use any of the Company’s trade
secrets to influence or attempt to influence customers, vendors, suppliers, licensors, lessors, joint venturers, associates, consultants,
agents, or partners of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to divert their business away from the Company or such Affiliate, and
the Executive will not otherwise use the Company’s trade secrets to interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the business relationships,
contractual or otherwise, between the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, on the one hand, and any of its or their customers, suppliers,
vendors, lessors, licensors, joint venturers, associates, officers, employees, consultants, managers, partners, members or investors,
on the other hand.

 

		7.5	Cooperation. During the Term and following the Termination Date, the Executive shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company and its Affiliates in connection with the transition of the Executive’s duties (during the Term from
Chief Executive Officer to Chairman of the Board and after the Termination Date from Chairman of the Board), with respect to any internal
or governmental investigation or administrative, regulatory, arbitral or judicial proceeding involving the Company and any Affiliates
with respect to matters relating to the Executive’s employment with, or service as a member of the board of directors of, the Company
or any Affiliate, and with respect to any audit of the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate with respect to the period
of time when the Executive was employed by, or otherwise providing services to, the Company or any Affiliate. Solely in connection with
time spent by the Executive after the Term, the Company shall compensate Executive for his time on cooperative efforts required after
the Term at an hourly rate commensurate with Executive’s base salary immediately prior to his Separation from Service and the Company
shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.

 

		7.6	Understanding of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that, in the course of his employment
with, or as otherwise providing services to, the Company and/or its Affiliates and their predecessors, he has become familiar, or will
become familiar, with the Company’s and its Affiliates’ and their predecessors’ trade secrets and with other confidential
and proprietary information concerning the Company, its Affiliates and their respective predecessors and that his services have been and
will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that the foregoing covenants
set forth in this Section 7 (together, the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s
and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information, good will, stable workforce, and customer
relations.

 

    13

     

    

 

Without
limiting the generality of the Executive’s agreement in the preceding paragraph, the Executive (i) represents that he
is familiar with and has carefully considered the Restrictive Covenants, (ii) represents that he is fully aware of his obligations
hereunder, (iii) agrees to the reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic coverage, as applicable, of the Restrictive
Covenants, (iv) agrees that the Company and its Affiliates currently conducts business throughout the Restricted Area, and (v) agrees
that the Restrictive Covenants will continue in effect for the applicable periods set forth above in this Section 7 regardless of
whether the Executive is then entitled to receive severance pay or benefits from the Company. The Executive understands that the Restrictive
Covenants may limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company and any of its Affiliates, but
he nevertheless believes that he has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as otherwise provided hereunder
or as described in the recitals hereto to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event (given his education, skills and ability),
the Executive does not believe would prevent him from otherwise earning a living. The Executive agrees that the Restrictive Covenants
do not confer a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to the detriment of the Executive.

 

		7.7	Enforcement. The Executive agrees that the Executive’s services are unique and that he has access to Confidential
Information and Work Product. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of Section 17, the Executive agrees that a breach by the
Executive of any of the covenants in this Section 7 would cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult
or impossible to measure, and that damages to the Company for any such injury would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach.
Therefore, the Executive agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 7, the Company
shall be entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies the Company may have under this Agreement, at law or
otherwise, to obtain specific performance, injunctive relief and/or other appropriate relief (without posting any bond or deposit) in
order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Section 7, or require the Executive to account for and pay over
to the Company all compensation, profits, moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived from or received as a result of any transactions
constituting a breach of this Section 7 if and when final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, as applicable,
is so entered against the Executive. The Executive further agrees that the applicable period of time any Restrictive Covenant is in effect
following the Termination Date, as determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, shall be extended by the same
amount of time that Executive is in breach of any Restrictive Covenant following the Termination Date.

 

		8.	Withholding Taxes. Up until
the Commencement Date, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or
payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be
withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. Except for such withholding rights, the Executive is solely responsible for any
and all tax liability that may arise with respect to the compensation provided under or pursuant to this Agreement. After the Commencement
Date, the Company shall not take withholdings without Executive’s consent unless legally required to under Canadian law, which consent
from Executive shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

    14

     

    

 

		9.	Successors and Assigns.

 

		(a)	This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall
not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

 

		(b)	This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly 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 such succession
had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or
assignee, as applicable, which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

 

		10.	Number and Gender; Examples.
Where the context requires, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and any gender shall include
all other genders. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language
shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates.

 

		11.	Section Headings. The
section headings of, and titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained in, this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only,
and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof.

 

		12.	Governing Law. This Agreement
will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Arizona, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting
provision or rule (whether of the state of Arizona or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the state of Arizona to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the state of Arizona will control the interpretation
and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive
law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

 

    15

     

    

 

		13.	Severability. It is the
desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the
laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this
Agreement, other than the material terms addressing Executive’s Compensation as set forth in Exhibit A, shall be adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction or determined by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 17 to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
under any present or future law, and if the rights and obligations of any party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely
affected thereby, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this
Agreement are declared to be severable; furthermore, in lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision there will be added automatically
as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as
may be possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn (as to geographic scope, period of duration
or otherwise) so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly
drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

 

		14.	Entire Agreement. Except
for the Merger Agreement and any side agreements thereto pertaining to notes payable to Jupiter Sellers, any indemnification agreement
between the Company and Executive in connection with Executive’s service as the Chief Executive Officer and on the Board of the
Company, any prior award agreement memorializing prior stock option or other equity-incentive grants, and any award agreements memorializing
the RSUs described in Exhibit A, this Agreement embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the matters within
its scope. Any prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements (except for the Merger Agreement and side agreements thereto), proposals
or understandings relating to the subject matter hereof shall be deemed to have been merged into this Agreement, and to the extent inconsistent
herewith, such negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals, or understandings shall be deemed to be of no force or effect. There
are no representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written, with respect to the subject matter
hereof, except as expressly set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to modify or
limit any rights Executive may have, directly or indirectly, under the Merger Agreement.

 

		15.	Modifications. This Agreement
may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal, definitive written agreement expressly referring to
this Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the parties hereto.

 

		16.	Waiver. Neither the failure
nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the
same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence
be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective
unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

 

    16

     

    

 

		17.	Arbitration.
                                            Except as provided in Sections 7.7 and 17, any non-time barred, legally actionable controversy
                                            or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement, arbitrability or
                                            interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection
                                            with any of its provisions, or any other non-time barred, legally actionable controversy
                                            or claim arising out of or relating to the Executive’s employment or association with
                                            the Company or termination of the same, including, without limiting the generality of the
                                            foregoing, any alleged violation of state or federal statute, common law or constitution,
                                            shall be submitted to individual, final and binding arbitration, to be held in Maricopa County,
                                            Arizona, before a single arbitrator selected from Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.
                                            (“JAMS”), in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and
                                            Procedures for employment disputes, as modified by the terms and conditions in this Section (which
                                            may be found at www.jamsadr.com under the Rules/Clauses tab). The parties will select
                                            the arbitrator by mutual agreement or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from
                                            a list of qualified arbitrators supplied by JAMS from their labor and employment law panel.
                                            Final resolution of any dispute through arbitration may include any remedy or relief that
                                            is provided for through any applicable state or federal statutes, or common law. Statutes
                                            of limitations shall be the same as would be applicable were the action to be brought in
                                            court. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this Agreement may order such discovery as is
                                            necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the
                                            expedited nature of arbitration. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall
                                            issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which
                                            the arbitrator’s award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the arbitrator
                                            under this Agreement shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and may
                                            be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company will pay those arbitration
                                            costs that are unique to arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fee (recognizing that
                                            each side bears its own deposition, witness, expert and attorneys’ fees and other expenses
                                            to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in court). If, however, any party prevails
                                            on a statutory claim, which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs,
                                            then the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party. The arbitrator
                                            shall resolve any dispute as to the reasonableness of any fee or cost. Except as provided
                                            in Section 7.7 and 17, the parties acknowledge and agree that they are hereby waiving
                                            any rights to trial by jury or a court in any action or proceeding brought by either of the
                                            parties against the other in connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any
                                            way connected with this Agreement or the Executive’s employment or service to the Company.

 

		18.	Remedies. Each of the parties
to this Agreement and any such person or entity granted rights hereunder whether or not such person or entity is a signatory hereto shall
be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically to recover damages and costs for any breach of any provision of this
Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to set off
any damages it may be entitled to for a breach of this Agreement by pursuing any consideration Executive may be entitled to under the
Merger Agreement. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions
of this Agreement and that each party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for provisional
injunctive or equitable relief and/or other appropriate equitable relief (without posting any bond or deposit) in order to enforce or
prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

    17

     

    

 

		19.	Notices. Any notice provided
for in this Agreement must be in writing and must be either personally delivered, transmitted via telecopier, mailed by first class mail
(postage prepaid and return receipt requested) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the recipient at the
address below indicated or at such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior
written notice to the sending party. Notices will be deemed to have been given hereunder and received when delivered personally, when

courier service.

		22.	Section 409A.

 

		(a)	It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with
Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) (“Code Section 409A”)
so as not to subject the Executive to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A. The provisions
of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under Code
Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to the Executive. Any installment
payments provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as a series of separate payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

		(b)	If the Executive is a “specified employee”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service,
the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit that is subject to Code Section 409A until the earlier of (i) the
date which is six (6) months after his or her Separation from Service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the
Executive’s death. The provisions of this Section 22(b) shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the
imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive upon or
in the six (6) month period following the Executive’s Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 22(b) shall
be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months
after the Executive’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days,
after the date of the Executive’s death).

 

		(c)	To the extent that any reimbursement amounts paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement are taxable
to the Executive, any reimbursement payment due to the Executive pursuant to any such provision shall be paid to the Executive on or before
the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The benefits
and reimbursements pursuant to such provisions are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits
and reimbursements that the Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that
the Executive receives in any other taxable year.

		23.	Non-Disparagement.

 

		23.1	Executive shall not make any public statements, written or oral, or cause or encourage others to make
any statements, written or oral, that defame, disparage or in any way criticize the personal or business reputation, practices, or conduct
of the Company. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this prohibition extends to statements, written or oral, made to anyone, including
but not limited to, the news media, investors, potential investors, any board of directors or advisory board or directors, industry analysts,
competitors, strategic partners, vendors, employees (past and present), and clients or potential clients of the Company and its affiliates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision does not prohibit disclosures that Executive is required to make to comply with applicable
laws or regulations nor does it preclude the Executive from making truthful disclosures that Executive is affirmatively authorized to
make pursuant to any provision of applicable law or to conduct or testimony in the context of enforcing the terms of this Agreement or
other rights, powers, privileges, or claims not released by this Agreement.

 

		23.2	The Company’s Officers, Directors and Executive Team shall
not, directly or indirectly, make any public statements, written or oral, and the Company shall not cause or encourage others to make
any public statements, written or oral, that defame, disparage or in any way criticize the personal or business reputation, practices,
or conduct of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision does not prohibit disclosures that any Director, Officer, employee
or former director, officer or employee is required to make to comply with applicable laws or regulations, nor does it preclude such
persons from making truthful disclosures that they are affirmatively authorized to make pursuant to any provision of applicable law or
to conduct or testimony in the context of enforcing the terms of this Agreement or other rights, powers, privileges, or claims not released
by this Agreement.

 

		24.	Attorneys’ Fees.
                                                                                                                                         The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs
                                                                                                                                         incurred by the prevailing Party in any lawsuit, arbitration, mediation, or other action (a) brought to enforce; (b) in
                                                                                                                                         any way related to; or (c) arising out, of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A - RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

		●	On the Commencement Date, the Company shall grant to the Executive 600,000 RSUs (the “Initial
Grant”). Subject to Executive’s continued service as a member of the Board, the Initial Grant shall vest in equal monthly
installments of 50,000 RSUs per month such that the Initial Grant shall become fully vested on May 28, 2022. Notwithstanding anything
in the Plan or any RSU Award Agreement to the contrary, any unvested RSUs subject to the Initial Grant shall fully vest upon the first
to occur of: (i) the termination of the Agreement by the Company prior to May 28, 2022; (ii) the closing of a transaction
that results in a “Change in Control” of the Company as such phrase is defined in the 2019 Award Agreement, (iii) Executive’s
death; or (iv) Executive’s disability as such term is defined in the Plan.

 

		●	If, during the Term, or during the 18 month period following the Termination Date of this Agreement, the
Company or any Affiliate files a non-provisional patent application that is based on Work Product that Executive discovered, invented
or originated on his own or with multiple inventors or originators, and which Work Product is not based upon any intellectual property
owned by the Company or its Affiliates as of the Commencement Date, other than the Work Product set forth in Exhibit C, (“Non-Provisional
Patent Application”), then, within 60-days the Company shall issue to the Executive 700,000 fully vested common shares of the
Company (the “IP Creation Award”); provided that the 60-day period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for any
days that such period is within any “blackout” period under the Company’s insider trading policies. For the avoidance
of doubt, and for sake of clarity, the Company is fully and solely responsible for any and all legal fees associated with the filing of
any provisional or non-provisional patent applications describing the intellectual property and must consent to the filing of any provisional
or non-provisional patent application, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If required by applicable
securities laws, regulations, rules, policies or orders or by any securities commission or other regulatory authority, the Executive will
execute, deliver, file and otherwise assist the Company in filing, such reports, undertakings, and other documents with respect to the
issue of the IP Creation Award as may be required.

 

		●	If, during the Term, or during the 36 month period following the Termination Date of this Agreement, the
Company or any Affiliate completes a commercial sale using the intellectual property described in the Non-Provisional Patent Application
or any other non-provisional patent application that is based on Work Product that Executive discovered, invented or originated on his
own or with multiple inventors or originators, and which Work Product is not based upon any intellectual property owned by the Company
or its Affiliates as of the Commencement Date, other than the Work Product set forth in Exhibit C, then the Company shall
within 60 days issue to the Executive an additional 700,000 fully vested common shares of the Company (the “IP Sale Award”);
provided that the 60-day period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for any days that such period is within any “blackout”
period under the Company’s insider trading policies. The Company shall have sole discretion of what products to commercialize, but
shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay the commercialization of any products that would otherwise trigger payment of the
IP Sale Award. If required by applicable securities laws, regulations, rules, policies or orders or by any securities commission or other
regulatory authority, the Executive will execute, deliver, file and otherwise assist the Company in filing, such reports, undertakings,
and other documents with respect to the issue of the IP Sale Award as may be required.

or not. In legal terms, this means that, individually and on behalf of his representatives, successors, and assigns, he does hereby
completely release and forever discharge the Company, its shareholders, successors, assigns, directors, officers, managers, agents, attorneys,

		(g)	Any and all rights Executive may have to any continuing or future employment with the Company Released
Parties. Executive agrees that Company Released Parties declining to consider any future application for employment shall not in any way

		1.2	Exclusions. Executive's release is not intended to encompass any rights or claims that cannot
be released by Executive as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, claims for workers’ compensation or unemployment benefits.
Nor is this release intended to prevent Executive from filing a statutory claim concerning employment with the Company or the termination

if Executive does so, or if any such claim is prosecuted in his/her name before any court or administrative agency, Executive waives and
agrees not to take any award of money or other damages from such suit. In addition, this release expressly excludes (i) any right
to indemnification that Executive may have pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, its corporate charter or under any written indemnification
agreement with the Company (or any corresponding provision of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) with respect to any loss, damages
or expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees to the extent otherwise provided) that Executive may incur with respect
to his service as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) any rights that
Executive may have to insurance coverage for such losses, damages or expenses under any Company (or subsidiary or affiliate) directors
and officers liability insurance policy; (iii) any equity-based awards previously granted by the Company to Executive, to the extent
that such awards continue after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company in accordance with the applicable terms
of such awards; (iv) any rights that Executive and/or Jupiter Sellers may have to payment (to the extent not theretofor paid) for

to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and any related side agreements thereto; (v) any rights or claims that Executive
may have in his capacity as a shareholder or equity holder of the Company or any of its Affiliates and (vi) and all claims arising
out of and in relation to all rights granted under this Agreement and the attached Exhibits.

 

    B-2

     

    

 

		2.	Company Release of Claims.
The Company expressly waives and releases any and all claims that the Company or any Company Released Party might possibly have against
Executive arising from his employment relationship with the Company or otherwise that may be waived or released by law whether the Company

or implied, breach of any duties arising therefrom, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or implied, breach
of fiduciary duties as well as any and all tort claims of any nature, including but not limited to claims for negligence, defamation,
misrepresentation, fraud, or negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress. In addition, this release expressly excludes any
rights the Company may have under the Merger Agreement.

 

		3.	Waiver of Unknown Future Claims.
The parties have each read Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:

 

A general release does not extend
to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release,
which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

 

The parties each understand that, to the extent
applicable, Section 1542 gives each party the right not to release existing claims of which he/it are not now aware, unless the party
voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Even though Executive and the Company are each aware of this right, each party nevertheless hereby
voluntarily waives the rights described in Section 1542, and hereby waives the rights under any law of any State or territory of
the United States or other jurisdiction, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to Section 1542,
and elects to assume all risks for claims that now exist in his/its favor, known or unknown, arising from the subject matter of this Agreement.
