does not contain any promise or representation concerning the duration of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive specifically
acknowledges that his employment with the Company is at-will and may be altered or terminated by either Executive or the Company at any
time, with or without cause and/or with or without notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Group” shall

9.            409A Compliance. This Agreement is intended to comply with the short-term deferral rule under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, provided that, if any severance provided at any time hereunder
involves non-qualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, it is intended to comply with the applicable
rules with regard thereto and shall be interpreted accordingly. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes
of any provision of this letter providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment that
are considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code unless such termination is also a “separation
from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and, for purposes of any such provision of this letter, references
to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”
If Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section
409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then with regard to any payment that is considered non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of
the Code payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date
which is the earlier of (A) the date that is immediately following the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of
Executive’s “separation from service”, and (B) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”).
Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this paragraph (whether they would have otherwise
been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum,
and any remaining payments and benefits due under this letter shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified
for them herein. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this
letter shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. In no event may you, directly or indirectly,
designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this letter that is considered non-qualified deferred compensation. In the
event the time period for considering any release and it becoming effective as a condition of receiving severance shall overlap two calendar
years, no amount of such severance shall be paid in the earlier calendar year.

 

10.          Proprietary and Other Obligations.

 

(a)    Confidential Information. During the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company and at all times thereafter,
the Executive shall hold in secrecy for the Company Group all Confidential Information (as defined below) that may come to his knowledge,
may have come to his attention or may have come into his possession or control while employed by the Company. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, the Executive shall not be required to maintain the confidentiality of any Confidential Information which (a) is or becomes
available to the public or others in the industry generally (other than as a result of inappropriate disclosure or use by the Executive
in violation of this Section 10(a)) or (b) the Executive is compelled to disclose under any applicable laws, regulations or directives
of any government agency, tribunal or authority having jurisdiction in the matter or under subpoena. Except as expressly required in the
performance of his duties to the Company under this Agreement, the Executive shall not use for his own benefit or disclose (or permit
or cause the disclosure of) to any Person, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information unless such use or disclosure has been
specifically authorized in writing by the Company in advance. During the Executive’s employment and as necessary to perform his
duties under this Agreement, the Company will provide and grant the Executive access to the Confidential Information. The Executive recognizes
that any Confidential Information is of a highly competitive value, will include Confidential Information not previously provided the
Executive and that the Confidential Information could be used to the competitive and financial detriment of the Company if misused or
disclosed by the Executive. The Company promises to provide access to the Confidential Information only in exchange for the Executive’s
promises contained herein, expressly including the covenants in this Agreement.

or reasonably should be considered confidential or proprietary, or (iii) the Company indicates through its policies, procedures, or other
instructions should not be disclosed to anyone outside the Company. Without limiting the foregoing definitions, some examples of Confidential

belong exclusively to the Company and the Company Group, as applicable. The Executive hereby irrevocably waives in favor of the Company
any and all copyright and moral rights, and irrevocably assigns to the Company any and all legal rights, that the Executive may have in
respect of any such materials. The Executive agrees to execute any assignments and/or acknowledgements as may be requested by the Company
from time to time, at the expense of the Company, without any further remuneration.

 

(c)    Return of Documents and Property. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive (or
his heirs or personal representatives) shall immediately deliver to the Company (a) all documents and materials containing Confidential
Information (including without limitation any “soft” copies or computerized or electronic versions thereof) or otherwise containing
information relating to the business and affairs of the Company (whether or not confidential), and (b) all other documents, materials
and other property belonging to the Company that are in the possession or under the control of the Executive.

subsidiaries or its officers, directors, employees or agents in any manner that could be harmful to it or them or its or their business,
business reputation or personal reputation. The Company agrees during and after the Term, it shall instruct its officers, directors, employees
and agent not to knowingly disparage the Executive in any manner that could be harmful to Executive or Executive’s business or personal
reputation. This paragraph will not be violated by statements from either party that are truthful, complete and made in good faith in
required response to legal process or governmental inquiry.

 

11.        Noncompetition and Non-solicitation. Executive acknowledges that he will be a member of executive and management
personnel at the Company.

which the Executive performed services or the Executive was involved in for purposes of making strategic or other material business decisions
and (ii) involves (A) the same or substantially similar types of products or services (individually or collectively) produced, offered,
marketed or sold by the Company during Term or (B) products or services so similar in nature to that of the Company Group during Term
(or that the Company Group will soon thereafter offer) that they would be reasonably likely to displace substantial business opportunities
or customers of the Company.

 

ii.       “Prohibited Area” means worldwide, which Prohibited Area the parties have agreed to as a result of the fact
that those are the geographic areas in which the Company Group conducts a preponderance of their business and in which the Executive provides
substantive services to the Company Group expand during the Term.

 

(b)     Covenant Not to Compete. Without the prior written consent of the Board (which may be withheld in the Board’s
sole discretion), so long as the Executive is an employee of the Company or any other member of the Company Group and for a one year period
thereafter, the Executive agrees that he shall not anywhere in the Prohibited Area, for his own account or the benefit of any other, engage
or participate in or assist or otherwise be connected with a Competing Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive understands
that this Section 11(b) prohibits the Executive from acting for himself or as an officer, employee, manager, operator, principal, owner,
partner, shareholder, advisor, consultant of, or lender to, any individual or other Person that is engaged or participates in or carries
out a Competing Business or is actively planning or preparing to enter into a Competing Business. The parties agree that such prohibition
shall not apply to the Executive’s passive ownership of not more than 5% of a publicly-traded company

 

(c)     Non-solicitation Covenant. Executive agrees that he will not, individually or with others, directly or indirectly (including
without limitation, individually or through any business, venture, proprietorship, partnership, or corporation in which they control or

or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit any customer, client, supplier, investor, vendor, consultant or independent contractor of
the Company to terminate, reduce or negatively alter his, her or its relationship with the Company. The geographic scope of the covenants
in Section 11(c) is the Prohibited Area. Nothing in Sections 10 and 11 should be construed to narrow the obligations of Executive imposed
by any other provision herein, any other agreement, law or other source.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

(d)     Reasonable. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the time limitation and the geographic scope on the restrictions in Sections
10 and 11 and their subparts are reasonable. Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the limitation in Sections 10 and 11 and their
subparts is reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company, that through this Agreement he shall receive adequate consideration
for any loss of opportunity associated with the provisions herein, and that these provisions provide a reasonable way of protecting the
Company’s business value which was imparted to him. In the event that any term, word, clause, phrase, provision, restriction, or
section of Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Company
seeks enforcement thereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall be limited only to that extent that a judicial determination finds the
same to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. Moreover, notwithstanding any judicial determination that any term, word, clause,
phrase, provision, restriction, or section of this Agreement is not specifically enforceable, the parties intend that the Company shall
nonetheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of any breach hereof.

 

(e)     Legal and Equitable Remedies. In view of the nature of the rights in goodwill, employee relations, trade secrets, and business
reputation and prospects of the Company to be protected under Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement, Executive understands and agrees that
the Company could not be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law for Executive’s breach of their obligations
(whether individually or together) hereunder. Accordingly, Executive specifically agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary
and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance, and other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of Sections 10 and 11 of this
Agreement and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages, and without bond. Executive acknowledges
and agrees that the provisions in Sections 10 and 11 and their subparts are essential and material to this Agreement, and that upon breach
of Sections 10 and 11 by him, the Company is entitled to withhold providing payments or consideration, to equitable relief to prevent
continued breach, to recover damages and to seek any other remedies available to the Company. This provision with respect to injunctive
relief shall not, however, diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover damages or other remedies in addition to equitable relief.

 

(f)      Extension of Time. In the event that Executive breaches any covenant, obligation or duty in Sections 10 and 11 or their
subparts, any such duty, obligation, or covenants to which the parties agreed by Sections 10 and 11 and their subparts shall automatically
toll from the date of the first breach, and all subsequent breaches, until the resolution of the breach through private settlement, judicial
or other action, including all appeals. The duration and length of Executive’s duties and obligations as agreed by Sections 10 and
11 and their subparts shall continue upon the effective date of any such settlement, or judicial or other resolution.

his or its right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by a party of a breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement,
