    and Non-disclosure. The CTO hereby agrees at all times during the term of the Employment and after his termination, to
    hold in the strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, corporation
    or other entity without prior written consent of the Company, any Confidential Information. The CTO understands that “Confidential
    Information” means any proprietary or confidential information of the Company, its affiliates, or their respective
    clients, customers or partners, including, without limitation, technical data, trade secrets, research and development information,
    product plans, services, customer lists and customers, supplier lists and suppliers, software developments, inventions, processes,
    formulas, technology, designs, hardware configuration information, personnel information, marketing, finances, information
    about the suppliers, joint ventures, francherees, distributors and other persons with whom the Company does business, information
    regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of the Company or other business information disclosed to the CTO
    by or obtained by the CTO from the Company, its affiliates, or their respective clients, customers or partners, either directly
    or indirectly, in writing, orally or otherwise, if specifically indicated to be confidential or reasonably expected to be
    confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally available
    and known to the public through no fault of the CTO.

 

	 	(b)	Company
    Property. The CTO understands that all documents (including computer records, facsimile and e-mail) and materials created,
    received or transmitted in connection with his work or using the facilities of the Company are property of the Company and
    subject to inspection by the Company at any time. Upon termination of the CTO’s employment with the Company (or at any
    other time when requested by the Company), the CTO will promptly deliver to the Company all documents and materials of any
    nature pertaining to his work with the Company and will provide written certification of his compliance with this Agreement.
    Under no circumstances will the CTO have, following his   termination, in his possession any property of the Company,
    or any documents or materials or copies thereof containing any Confidential Information.

 

	 	(c)	Former
    Employer Information. The CTO agrees that he has not and will not, during the term of his employment, (i) improperly
    use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with which the
    CTO has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by CTO, if any, or (ii) bring into the premises
    of the Company any document or confidential or proprietary information belonging to such former employer, person or entity
    unless consented to in writing by such former employer, person or entity. The CTO will indemnify the Company and hold it harmless
    from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit,
    arising out of or in connection with any violation of the foregoing.

 

	 	(d)	Third
    Party Information. The CTO recognizes that the Company may have received, and in the future may receive, from third parties
    their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality
    of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. The CTO agrees that the CTO owes the Company and such
    third parties, during the CTO’s employment by the Company and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary
    information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person or firm and to use it in a manner consistent
    with, and for the limited purposes permitted by, the Company’s agreement with such third party.

 

This
Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event the CTO breaches this Section 8, the Company
shall have right to seek remedies permissible under applicable law.

  

	9.	 CONFLICTING
    EMPLOYMENT.

 

The
CTO hereby agrees that, during the term of his employment with the Company, he will not engage in any other employment, occupation,
consulting or other business activity related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during
the term of the CTO’s employment, nor will the CTO engage in any other activities that conflict with his obligations to
the Company without the prior written consent of the Company.

	10.	NON-COMPETITION
AND NON-SOLICITATION

 

In
consideration of the salary paid to the CTO by the Company and subject to applicable law, the CTO agrees that during the term
of the Employment and for a period of one (1) year following the termination of the Employment for whatever reason:

 

	 	(a)	The
    CTO will not approach clients, customers or contacts of the Company or other persons or entities introduced to the CTO in
    the CTO’s capacity as a representative of the Company for the purposes of doing business with such persons or entities
    which will harm the business relationship between the Company and such persons and/or entities;

 

	 	(b)	The
    CTO will not assume employment with or provide services as a director or otherwise for any Competitor, or engage, whether
    as principal, partner, licensor or otherwise, in any Competitor; and

 

	 	(c)	The
    CTO will not seek, directly or indirectly, by the offer of alternative employment or other inducement whatsoever, to solicit
    the services of any employee of the Company employed as at or after the date of such termination, or in the year preceding
    such termination.

 

The
provisions contained in Section 10 are considered reasonable by the CTO and the Company. In the event that any such provisions
should be found to be void under applicable laws but would be valid if some part thereof was deleted or the period or area of
application reduced, such provisions shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make them valid and effective.

 

This
Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event the CTO breaches this Section 10, the
CTO acknowledges that there will be no adequate remedy at law, and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a
decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including monetary damages if appropriate). In any event,
the Company shall have right to seek all remedies permissible under applicable law.

 

	11.	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 national, provincial, local or any other income, employment,
or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 

	12.	ASSIGNMENT

 

This
Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Company may assign or transfer this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder to any member of the Group without such consent, and (ii) in the event of
a Change of Control Transaction, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of
the Company hereunder.

 

	13.	SEVERABILITY

 

If
any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or
applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions
of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

	17.	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.

 

	18.	NOTICES

 

All
notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be

	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
