7.
Covenants of Officer. Officer understands and acknowledges that the Company’s ability to develop and retain
trade secrets, customer lists, proprietary techniques, information regarding customer needs and other confidential information

Company’s agreement to compensate Officer on the terms set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, Officer covenants
and agrees with Company as follows:

 

	 	7.1.	Confidential
    Information. Officer shall use his best efforts to protect Confidential
    Information. During and after association with Company, Officer will not use (other than for Company) or disclose any of Company’s
    Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means information, without regard to form, relating
    to Company’s customers, operation, finances, and business that derives economic value, actual or potential, from not
    being generally known to other Persons, including, but not limited to, technical or nontechnical data, formulas, patterns,
    compilations (including compilations of customer information), programs, models, concepts, designs, devices, methods, techniques,
    processes, financial data or lists of actual or potential customers (including identifying information about customers), whether
    or not in writing. Confidential Information includes information disclosed to Company by third parties that Company is obligated
    to maintain as confidential. Confidential Information subject to this Agreement may include information that is not a trade
    secret under applicable law, but information not constituting a trade secret only shall be treated as Confidential Information
    under this Agreement for a two (2) year period after the date on which Officer’s employment with the Company is terminated
    (the “Termination Date”). “Person” means any individual, corporation, limited liability
    company, bank, partnership, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity.

    any time at Company’s request, Officer will deliver promptly to Company all materials, documents, plans, records, notes,
    or other papers and any copies in Officer’s possession or control relating in any way to Company’s Business, which
    at all times shall be the property of Company.
	 	 	 
	 	7.3.	Solicitation
    of Officers and Independent Contractors. During Officer’s
    employment hereunder and for two (2) years after the Termination Date, Officer will not induce, solicit, or assist in the
    solicitation of, any Person employed or engaged by Company in any capacity (including without limitation as an employee or
    independent contractor), to terminate such employment or other engagement, whether or not such Person is employed or engaged
    pursuant to a contract with Company and whether or not such Person is employed or otherwise engaged at will.
	 	 	 
	 	7.4.	Non-Solicitation
    of Customers. During Officer’s employment hereunder, and
    for a period of five (5) years after the Termination Date, Officer will not, except on behalf of the Company or an affiliate

    agent, shareholder, consultant, sales representative or otherwise solicit, induce or encourage any customer of the Company
    to terminate the customer’s relationship with the Company or any way reduce the amount of business which the customer
    does with the Company.
	 	 	 
	 	7.5.	Disparagement.
    Officer shall not at any time make false, misleading or disparaging
    statements about Company, including its products, services, management, Officers, and customers.
	 	 	 
	 	7.6.	Prior
    Agreements. Officer warrants that Officer is not under any obligation,
    contractual or otherwise, limiting or affecting Officer’s ability or right to perform freely Services for Company. Upon
    execution of this Agreement, Officer will give Company a copy of any agreement, or notify Company of any agreement if a written
    agreement is not available, with a prior employer or other Person purporting to limit or affect Officer’s ability or
    right to perform Services for Company, to solicit customers or potential customers, to solicit the Officers or independent
    contractors of a prior employer or other Person, or to use any type of information.
	 	 	 
	 	7.7.	Future
    Employment or Contractual Opportunities. At any time before,
    and for one year after, the Termination Date, Officer shall provide any prospective employer with a copy of this Agreement,

	 	7.8.	Work
    For Hire Acknowledgment; Assignment. Officer acknowledges that
    work on and contributions to documents, programs, and other expressions in any tangible medium (collectively, “Works”)
    are within the scope of Officer’s employment and part of Officer’s duties, responsibilities, or assignment. Officer’s
    work on and contributions to the Works will be rendered and made by Officer for, at the instigation of, and under the overall
    direction of, Company, and all such work and contributions, together with the Works, are and at all times shall be regarded,
    as “work made for hire” as that term is used in the United States Copyright Laws. Without limiting this acknowledgment,
    Officer assigns, grants, and delivers exclusively to Company all rights, titles, and interests in and to any such Works, and
    all copies and versions, including all copyrights and renewals. Officer will execute and deliver to Company, or its successors
    and assigns, any assignments and documents Company requests for the purpose of complete, exclusive, perpetual, and worldwide
    ownership of all rights, titles, and interests of every kind and nature, including all copyrights in and to the Works, and

	 	7.9.	Inventions,
    Ideas and Patents. Officer shall disclose promptly to Company,
    and only to Company, any invention or idea of Officer (developed alone or with others) conceived or made during Officer’s
    employment by Company or within six months of the Termination Date. Officer assigns to Company any such invention or idea
    in any way connected with Officer’s employment or related to Company’s Business, its research or development,
    or demonstrably anticipated research or development and will cooperate with Company and sign all papers deemed necessary by
    Company to enable it to obtain, maintain, protect, and defend patents covering such inventions and ideas and to confirm Company’s
    exclusive ownership of all rights in such inventions, ideas and patents, and irrevocably appoints Company as its agent to
    execute and deliver any assignments or documents Officer fails or refuses to execute and deliver promptly, this power and
    agency being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. This constitutes written notification that this assignment does
    not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of Company was used, and
    which was developed entirely on Officer’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) directly to Company’s
    Business, or (ii) to Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results
    from any work performed by Officer for Company.
	 	 	 
	 	7.10.	Property
    of Company. Officer acknowledges and agrees that all business
    Officer generates because of his affiliation with the Company is and shall be the sole property of the Company. All receivables,

    The Officer is hereby prohibited from invoicing customers of the Company except with the express written consent of the Company.
    All checks or bank drafts representing payment for goods or services sold or rendered by the Company are property of the Company,
    and all monies or other consideration in whatever form received by the Officer from a customer of the Company shall be tendered
    immediately to the Company.

nondisclosure agreement, employment agreement, or any other contract of any nature whatsoever, oral or written, with any Person

any way inconsistent with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

11.
Miscellaneous.

 

	 	11.1.	Agreement
    Binding. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
    binding upon Company and its successors and assigns, and Officer and Officer’s heirs, executors, administrators and
    personal representatives. This Agreement may not be assigned by Officer or by Company, except that Company may assign its
    rights under this Agreement without the written consent of Officer to any affiliate of Company or in connection with any transfer
    of Company or of all or any substantial part of the Company Business (and such assignment will not constitute a termination
    of Officer’s employment by Company for purposes of this Agreement) (“Permitted Assignment”); provided, however,
    that such affiliate or transferee will be obligated to perform this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Company will be
    released from all of its obligations under this Agreement upon a Permitted Transfer.
	 	 	 
	 	11.2.	Entire
    Agreement. This Agreement, including any attachments, contains
    the entire agreement between the parties with respect to employment of Officer by the Company and no statement, promise or
    inducement made by either party hereto, or any agent of either party, which is not contained in this Agreement, will be valid
    or binding; and this Agreement may not be enlarged, amended, modified or altered except in a writing signed by Company and
    Officer and specifically referencing this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement do not in any way limit or abridge any
    rights of Company or any affiliate under the laws of unfair competition, trade secret, copyright, patent, trademark or any
    other applicable laws, all of which are in addition to and cumulative of the rights of Company under this Agreement.
	 	 	 
	 	11.3.	Provisions
    Severable. If any provision or covenant of this Agreement is
    held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, then such invalidity, illegality or
    unenforceability will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or covenants of this
    Agreement, all of which will remain in full force and effect. If any covenant in Section
    4 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be
    considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or geographic area,
    or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public
    policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against Officer.

    by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
	 	 	 
	 	11.5.	Remedies.
    Officer acknowledges that if Officer breaches or threatens to breach
    Officer’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement, then Officer’s actions may cause irreparable harm and damage
    to Company which could not be adequately compensated in damages. Accordingly, if Officer breaches or threatens to breach this
    Agreement, then Company will be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Company under
    this Agreement or otherwise. Officer will indemnify Company and its affiliates and hold them harmless against and in respect

    fees, resulting from or relating to any breach by Officer of Officer’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
    under this Agreement.
	 	 	 
	 	11.6.	Waiver.
    Failure of either party to insist, in one or more instances, on
    performance by the other in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver
    or relinquishment of any right granted in this Agreement or of the future performance of any such term or condition or of
    any other term or condition of this Agreement, unless such waiver is contained in a writing signed by the party making the
    waiver and specifically referencing this Agreement.
	 	 	 
	 	11.7.	Notices.
    All notices and other communications required or permitted to be
    given or made under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered personally or sent by pre-paid, first class certified
    or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile transmission, to the intended recipient of this Agreement at

against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding
in which the Executive may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary
thereof. Such expenses and liabilities shall include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and attorneys' fees and the
cost of reasonable settlements, such settlements to be approved by the Board if such action is brought against the Executive in
his capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof. The Corporation shall, upon the request of
the Executive, advance to the Executive such amounts as necessary to cover expenses, including without limitation legal fees and
expenses, incurred by the Executive in connection with any suit or proceeding in which the Executive may be involved by reason
of his being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or of any subsidiary thereof. Such indemnity and advance of
expenses, however, shall not extend to matters as to which the Executive is finally adjudged to be liable for willful misconduct
in the performance of his duties.

Corporation shall inform Executive; and (ii) Executive shall, in his sole discretion, be entitled at any time to convert such cash
compensation, or any portion thereof, into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as he may
choose. The number of shares shall be determined by using the closing price of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the trading
day preceding the date of conversion.
