		(i)	If the separation date occurs between ninety (90) days and eighteen (18) months after the Start

during the period from the separation date through the end of any period in which you are receiving the Severance Payment.

 

		(b)	Cause Definition.

 

		(i)	For purposes of this Letter, “Cause” means any of the following:

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

		(A)	You materially breach any duty or obligation owed to the Company, under this Letter or the Dynasil

reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof is provided to you;

 

		(B)	You refuse or are unwilling to perform any of the duties assigned by the Company in good faith,
after a written request from the Company to do so, and such refusal or unwillingness, if susceptible to cure in the Company’s
reasonable judgment, is not cured to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after written notice
thereof is provided to you;

 

		(C)	You are convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of, or plead guilty or nolo contendere
to, any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude;

 

		(D)	You engage in conduct that would tend to bring public disrespect, contempt or ridicule to the Company,
as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company) and such conduct, if susceptible to cure in the Company’s reasonable
judgment, is not cured to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof is
provided to you; or

 

		(E)	You are repeatedly absent from work (excluding vacations, illnesses, disability leaves, or other
leaves of absence approved by the Company) and such absence is not corrected within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof
is provided to you;

 

		6.	Death or Disability. If you die or become totally and permanently disabled during the term
of employment, the parties agree that the employment relationship and this Letter will terminate automatically. "Total disability"
means your inability, resulting from sickness, disease, injury or physical or mental illness, to perform in all material respects
all of the services pertaining to your employment under this Letter, with or without reasonable accommodation. Such total disability
will be deemed "permanent" if you have not recovered and returned to render the full services of his employment hereunder
within six (6) months of becoming totally disabled. You will not be eligible for any Severance Payment if your employment is terminated
under this paragraph.

 

		7.	Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement
comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code
Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance
therewith. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall
be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to
you and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.  A termination of employment
shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or
benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,”
“termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If you are deemed on the
date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B),
then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A
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 expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of your “separation from service,”
and (B) the date of your death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period,
all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this subsection (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 you in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and
benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. 
For purposes of Code Section 409A, your right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as
a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

 

    	4

    	 

    
 

 

		8.	Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Letter. As a condition of your employment,
you will sign, and be bound by, the “Dynasil Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Letter,” a copy of which
is enclosed with this Letter.

with the Company for any reason (whether initiated by you or by the Company), or at any other time upon the Company’s request,
you will immediately return to the Company all Company property of any kind then in your possession or under your control, including,
without limitation, the originals and all copies of any and all documents, files or records (including computer data, disks, programs,

drawings, lists, memoranda, magnetic disks or tapes, other recording media, reports, files, memoranda, software, credit cards,
door and file keys, telephones, PDAs, computers, computer access codes, instructional manuals, and any other physical property
that you received, prepared, or helped prepare in connection with your employment. You further agree to not retain any copies,
summaries or excerpts of any such property in any format, whether hardcopy, electronic or otherwise. To the extent that you have
Company property stored on any home computer(s) or other personal storage device(s), you agree to forward a copy of any such property
to a designated Company official and then irretrievably delete all such property from your personal home computer(s) and any other
personal electronic device(s) at the same time that you return all tangible property to the Company.

 

		10.	Other Agreements. You hereby represent to the Company that you are not bound by any agreement
or any other previous or existing business relationship which conflicts with or prevents the full performance of your duties and
obligations to the Company (including your duties and obligations under this Letter or any other agreement with the Company), Therefore,
you agree that during your employment and at all times thereafter, you will not improperly use or disclose any proprietary information
or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer, or any other person or entity with whom you have an agreement or to whom

delivery, telex, facsimile, overnight courier or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed, if to the Company, to the
attention of the Chief Executive Officer (or such other person as the Company may designate) at Dynasil Corporation of America,

and each provision and part of this Letter will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
