Title; Reporting. The Employee shall have the title of Executive Chairman unless and until such time as the Board of
Directors decides to change the Employee’s title. Employee shall be accountable to the Lead Independent Director (“LID”)
as a representative of the Board of Directors, unless and until such time the LID or his designee or successor changes such reporting
responsibility.

 

3. 
Duties. The Employee shall perform and discharge well and faithfully for the Company the Employee’s duties and
responsibilities as an employee of the Company, including such management activities as are assigned to the Employee. The Employee shall

4.  At-Will
Employment Relationship. The Employee’s employment under this Agreement will be in effect from the Effective Date
until the date of termination of the employment of the Employee (the “Termination Date”) in the manner set forth
in Section 6 (the “Term”). The Employee is an at-will employee of the Company, and neither this Agreement nor any

or modify in any way the at-will employment status of the Employee. The parties acknowledge that (i) the Company has the right to
terminate the employment of the Employee with the Company at any time and for any reason, and (ii) the Employee has the right to
terminate the Employee’s employment with the Company at any time and for any reason, in each case in accordance with Section

continued employment or employment for a fixed period of time. Similarly, no wage increase, promotion, length of service, oral
promise by any person, or any other aspect of the employment relationship that may arise shall change the ability of either the
Company or the Employee to terminate the employment relationship at will.

Compensation. As full compensation for all services to be rendered by the Employee to the Company, in all capacities,
during the Term, the Employee shall receive the following compensation and benefits:

 

5.1 
Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Employee an annual rate of base salary of $473,256.24 in periodic installments
in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices, but no less frequently than monthly (“Base Salary”).
The Employee’s Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Board and the Board may, but shall not be required to, increase
the Base Salary during the Term. The Employee’s Base Salary may not be decreased during the Term, other than as part of an across-the-board
salary reduction that applies in the same manner to all senior executives.

 

5.2 
Medical Insurance and Other Benefits. For so long as the Employee remains employed by the Company, the Employee shall
be eligible to receive such medical, paid time off and other benefits as are furnished to similarly situated employees of the Company
(subject to and to the extent permitted by the Company’s plan documents). In the event of the Employee’s termination of employment
with the Company for any reason, the eligibility for and continuation, provision, accrual and vesting of any employee benefits with respect
to the Employee or the Employee’s dependents shall be governed solely by the operative documents relating to such benefits and applicable
law.

 

5.3 
Expense Reimbursement. The Company will pay or reimburse the Employee for such business travel or other business expenses
as the Employee may reasonably incur while the Employee is employed by the Company in connection with the performance of the Employee’s
duties hereunder, but only to the extent that the Employee furnishes the Company with evidence substantiating all such expenses and any
other expenses that comply with the Company’s policies regarding the reimbursement of such expenses. The Company may from time to
time reasonably require or request such documentation or additional documentation. Any reimbursement of such expenses made to the Employee
pursuant to this Section 5.4 will be made within a reasonable time following the Employee’s substantiation of the amount and type
of expenses incurred but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such expense relates.

 

5.4 
Incentive Bonus. The Employee will be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus of up to 40% of Employee’s

Plan or any successor plan, subject to the terms of the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan or successor plan, as determined by the Board in its
discretion. To the extent applicable, the Employee will also continue to participate in the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan
subject to the terms of that plan.

 

5.6 
Full Compensation. Except as may be provided in Section 6 hereof, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the compensation
described in this Section 5 is the only compensation to which the Employee is entitled for any and all services rendered by the Employee
to the Company.

 

6. 
Termination. The following provisions shall apply to the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company:

 

6.1 
Termination upon Death. If the Employee dies at a time when the Employee is employed by the Company, both the Term and
the Employee’s employment shall terminate as of the date of the Employee’s death.

 

6.2 
Termination upon Disability. If the Employee becomes physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially,
during the time period during which he is employed by the Company, so that the Employee is unable to perform his essential job functions
hereunder, with or without reasonable accommodation in accordance with applicable law, as determined by the Company in its good faith
judgment, for (i) a period of ninety (90) consecutive days, or (ii) for shorter periods aggregating 120 days during any twelve-month period
(any such event, as determined by the Company, being referred to herein as “Disability”), the Company may, by written
notice to the Employee, terminate the Employee’s employment, in which event the Term and the Employee’s employment shall terminate
ten (10) days after the date upon which the Company delivers notice to the Employee of its intention to terminate the Employee’s
employment because of Disability.

 

6.3 
Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may, by written notice to the Employee, terminate the Employee for
Cause (as defined below), in which event both the Term and the Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate immediately
upon delivery of such notice of termination. As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean any one or more of the following:

 

(a)  
the Employee’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime that constitutes a felony, involves fraud,
dishonesty or moral turpitude, or results in the imposition of a term of imprisonment;

 

(b)  
the occurrence of any of the following acts on the part of the Employee:

 

(i)  
fraud, willful or intentional misconduct or gross negligence in connection with the business of the Company;

 

(ii) 
embezzlement or misappropriation of any funds of the Company;

 

    3

     

    

 

(iii) 
 alcohol or substance abuse that has impaired or could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Employee to perform
the Employee’s duties to the Company;

 

(iv)  
failure to comply with any Company policy, practice, procedure, or directive in any material respect, including those regarding
harassment or discrimination in employment that, if capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Company delivers
written notice to the Employee of such material breach; or

 

(v)  
dishonesty or a breach of the Employee’s duty of loyalty that has adversely affected or could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the Company in any material respect;

 

(c)  
the Employee’s excessive absenteeism, or unreasonable neglect or abandonment of his duties; or

 

(d)  
the Employee’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement that, if capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty
(30) days after the Company delivers written notice to the Employee of such material breach.

 

For avoidance of doubt, each
of the matters described in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above of this Section 6.3 is a separate and independent basis constituting
“Cause” under this Agreement.

 

6.4 
Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may, by written notice to the Employee, terminate the Employee
without Cause at any time and for any reason, in which event both the Term and the Employee’s employment with the Company shall
terminate on the date set forth in the notice of termination without Cause by the Company.

 

6.5 
Termination by the Employee for any Reason (other than Good Reason). The Employee, by written notice to the LID, may
terminate his employment with the Company at any time and for any reason (other than Good Reason (as defined below)), in which event both
the Term and the Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate on a date specified by the Employee in his notice of termination,
which date shall be not earlier than 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice of termination to the Company (provided that the
Company may accelerate the Termination Date, and pay the Employee for the remaining notice period).

 

6.6 
Termination by the Employee for Good Reason. The Employee may, by written notice to the LID, terminate his employment
with the Company for Good Reason, in which event both the Term and the Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate immediately
upon delivery of such notice of termination. As used herein, the term “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any
of the following, in each case during the Term without the Employee’s written consent:

 

(a)  
a material reduction in the Employee’s Base Salary, other than a general reduction in Base Salary that affects all similarly
situated employees in substantially the same proportions;

 

    4

     

    

 

(b)  
 a material reduction in the Employee’s Incentive Bonus opportunity;

 

(c)  
a relocation of the Employee’s principal place of employment by more than 50 miles;

 

(d)  
any material breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement;

 

(e)  
the Company’s failure to obtain an agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no succession had taken place, except where
such assumption occurs by operation of law;

 

(f) 
a material, adverse change in the Employee’s title, authority, duties or responsibilities;

 

The Employee cannot terminate
his employment for Good Reason unless he has provided written notice to the Company of the existence of the circumstances providing grounds
for termination for Good Reason within 15 days of the initial existence of such grounds and the Company has had at least 30 days from
the date on which such notice is provided to cure such circumstances. If the Employee does not provide written notice to terminate his
employment for Good Reason within 60 days after the first occurrence of the applicable grounds, then the Employee will be deemed to have
waived his right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to such grounds.

 

6.7 
Termination Due to Change of Control. The Company or its successor may terminate the Employee upon or following a Change
in Control without Cause pursuant to Section 6.4, and the Employee may elect to terminate his employment upon or following a Change in
Control for Good Reason pursuant to Section 6.6 should any of the listed reasons occur. In the event of the Employee’s termination
upon a Change in Control or without Cause or for Good Reason during the 12-month period following a Change in Control, the Employee will
be entitled to the severance benefits set forth in Section 6.8(c). “Change of Control” means the occurrence of one
or more of the following events:

 

(a) a sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company; (b) the acquisition of more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company
by one or more persons or entities by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, reorganization,
merger or consolidation) unless the Company’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition will,
immediately after such acquisition (by virtue of their continuing to hold such stock and/or their receipt in exchange therefor of securities
issued as consideration for the Company’s outstanding stock) hold at least 50% of the voting power of the outstanding securities
of the surviving or acquiring entity; or (c) any reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity,
excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company.

6.8 
 Effect of Termination.

 

(a)  
In the case of a termination pursuant to any of the applicable termination provisions of this Agreement, the following provisions
shall apply:

 

(i)  
The Company shall pay to the Employee (or, in the case of death, his estate) (A) all Base Salary that has been earned and not been
paid as of the Termination Date in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll schedules for salaried employees, and (B) any
employment benefits that have fully accrued and vested but not been paid as of the Termination Date in accordance with the terms of any
applicable employment benefit arrangements and applicable law.

 

(ii) 
All other rights and benefits of the Employee hereunder shall terminate upon such termination, except for (A) any right of the
Employee or his dependents to continue benefits pursuant to applicable law, or (B) any rights that the Employee may have under Section
6.8(b) as a result of a termination pursuant to Sections 6.4 or 6.6 or any rights that the Employee may have under Section 6.8(c) as a
result of a termination pursuant to Section 6.7.

 

(b)  
In the case of a termination pursuant to Sections 6.4 or 6.6 (but not any other termination provisions of this Agreement), subject
to the Employee (or his estate, as applicable) first executing a waiver and release in a form to be provided by the Company that releases
all claims that the Employee may have against the Company, and its and their equity owners, officers, directors, managers and employees,
such that the release is effective, with all revocation periods having expired unexercised, within 60 days after the Termination Date
(the date on which the release becomes effective, the “Release Effective Date”), the Employee shall be entitled to
severance payments in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the Employee’s monthly Base Salary in effect as of the Termination
Date. The Company shall increase the monthly severance payment owed to the Employee hereunder by the monthly COBRA premium necessary to
reimburse the Employee for continued health care coverage for the Employee and his dependents (provided that the Employee has properly
and timely elected coverage under COBRA, the Employee has not secured alternate health care coverage, and such COBRA premiums are not
otherwise being paid by another entity) for each month of monthly severance. All severance payments made pursuant to this Section 6.8(b)
shall be payable to the Employee by the Company in monthly installments commencing on the first normal payroll date following the Release
Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Termination Date and the last day of the 60-day release period occur in two different
calendar years (regardless of when the Release Effective Date occurs), no payment that is so treated as “deferred compensation”
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) shall be made or commence pursuant to this Section 6.8(b) earlier than the first
day of such second calendar year, regardless of the Release Effective Date. Company shall have no obligation to make or continue the severance
payments set forth herein if the Employee breaches Sections 6.8(d), 7, or 9.

 

    6

     

    

 

(c)   In
the case of a termination pursuant to Section 6.7 (but not any other termination provisions of this Agreement), subject to the
Employee (or his estate, as applicable) first executing a waiver and release in a form to be provided by the Company that releases
all claims that the Employee may have against the Company, and its and their equity owners, officers, directors, managers and
employees, such that the release is effective, with all revocation periods having expired unexercised, within 60 days after the
Termination Date (the date on which the release becomes effective, the “Release Effective Date”), the Employee
shall be entitled to severance payments in an amount equal to eighteen (18) months of the Employee’s monthly Base Salary in
effect as of the Termination Date, plus the amount of the Employee’s full Incentive Bonus for the year in which the
termination takes place without regard to whether the Employee achieves those financial targets and other performance metrics
determined by the Employee and the LID pursuant to Section 5.4. The Company shall increase the monthly severance payment owed to the
Employee hereunder by the monthly COBRA premium necessary to reimburse the Employee for continued health care coverage for the
Employee and his dependents (provided that the Employee has properly and timely elected coverage under COBRA, the Employee has not
secured alternate health care coverage, and such COBRA premiums are not otherwise being paid by another entity) for each month of
monthly severance. In addition, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 6.7, and notwithstanding the terms of the 2017
Equity Incentive Plan and the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (if applicable) or any related documents or agreements, all outstanding
unvested stock options granted to the Employee shall become fully vested and exercisable for the remainder of their full term. All
severance payments made pursuant to this Section 6.8(c) shall be payable to the Employee by the Company in monthly installments
commencing on the first normal payroll date following the Release Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Termination
Date and the last day of the 60-day release period occur in two different calendar years (regardless of when the Release Effective
Date occurs), no payment that is so treated as “deferred compensation” pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (as defined
below) shall be made or commence pursuant to this Section 6.8(c) earlier than the first day of such second calendar year, regardless
of the Release Effective Date. Company shall have no obligation to make or continue the severance payments set forth herein if the
Employee breaches Sections 6.8(d), 7, or 9.

 

(d)  
In the case of a termination pursuant to any of the applicable termination provisions of this Agreement, the Employee (or, in the
event of death, the Employee’s estate) shall continue to be obligated to comply with all of the terms, conditions and covenants
of this Agreement that survive the termination of his employment. In addition, the Employee (or, in the event of death, the Employee’s
estate) shall fully comply with his obligations to return all of the Company’s property pursuant to the Confidentiality and Intellectual
Property Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”) entered into between the Company and the Employee. This Section 6.8(d)
shall constitute a separate covenant which shall be enforceable after the Term.

 

6.9 
Covenants and Restrictions. The Employee shall be subject to the covenants and other restrictions contained in Sections
6.8(d), 7, 8, 9 and 10 (and any other provisions that by their terms survive the expiration of the Term) both during and after the Term.

 

    7

     

    

 

7. 
Restrictive Covenants.

 

7.1  Non-Competition.
In consideration of the at-will employment, continued employment, compensation, and other enforceable promises contained in this
Agreement (including potential severance payments and benefits), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which the Employee acknowledged above, and in order to protect the goodwill, Proprietary Information, customer
relationships and other legitimate business interests of the Company, the Employee agrees that during the Term and for one (1) year
following the Termination Date (collectively the “Restricted Period”), Employee shall not, whether for
compensation or without compensation, directly or indirectly, as an employee, officer, owner, principal, partner, member,
shareholder, independent contractor, consultant, joint venturer, investor, licensor, lender or in any other capacity whatsoever,
alone, or in association with any other person or entity, carry on, be engaged or take part in, or render services or advice to,
own, share in the earnings of, invest in the stocks, bonds or other securities of, or otherwise become financially interested in,
any person or entity whose Primary Business involves analysis, research, or the development of clinical products in the field of
proteomics (the “Business”). “Primary Business” includes any entity that derives 51% or more
of its revenues from the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee’s ownership or control of up to two percent
(2%) of the outstanding voting securities or securities of any class of a company with a class of securities which are publicly
traded shall not be deemed to be a violation of the provisions of this Section 7.1.

 

7.2 
Non-Solicitation of Employees. In consideration of the at-will employment, continued employment, compensation, Proprietary
Information, and other enforceable promises contained in this Agreement (including potential severance payments and benefits), and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Employee acknowledged above, the Employee further agrees
that the Employee shall not, during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly (whether as an employee, agent, consultant, owner, investor,
manager, officer, advisor or otherwise, in any individual or representative capacity), engage in any of the following activities:

 

(a)  
hire, attempt to hire, contact or solicit with respect to or in anticipation of hiring any person performing services as an officer,
employee or consultant of the Company, in each case, who performed services in such capacity at any time during the most recent 12-month
period during which the Employee was employed by the Company (the “Reference Period”); or

 

(b)  
induce or otherwise counsel, advise or encourage any person who is or was performing services as an officer, employee or consultant
of the Company, in each case, at any time during the Reference Period, to leave the employment of the Company, or cease performing services
for the Company.

 

    8

     

    

 

7.3  Non-Interference.
In consideration of the at-will employment, continued employment, compensation, Proprietary Information, and other enforceable
promises contained in this Agreement (including potential severance payments and benefits), and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Employee acknowledged above, the Employee shall not, during the Restricted
Period, directly or indirectly, take any actions that interfere with the relationships between the Company, on the one hand, and any
customers or suppliers with whom the Employee interacted (either directly or indirectly) or about whom the Employee received
Proprietary Information and (i) with whom the Company has had any business relationship or (ii) with whom the Company has discussed
a business relationship during the Reference Period, on the other hand, including contacting or soliciting, or responding to any
contacts from, any such customers or suppliers (collectively, the “Non-Contact Persons”). For illustration only,
and not for purposes of limitation, during the Restricted Period, the Employee shall not knowingly cancel, adversely modify,
terminate or decline to consummate any business relationships with vendors or customers of the Company, outside of the ordinary
course of business. The foregoing prohibition on solicitation or other interference with the Company’s relationships with the
Non-Contact Persons: (a) prohibits any such action by the Employee on behalf of other persons or entities, whether as a consultant,
employee, agent, owner, investor, manager, officer, advisor or otherwise, and (b) constitutes a prohibition on accepting any
business from any Non-Contact Person (whether individually or on behalf of other persons or entities), other than in the
Employee’s capacity as an employee of the Company. In addition, during the Restricted Period, in no event shall the Employee
directly or indirectly contact the Non-Contact Persons for any purposes related to this Agreement or the services the Employee
provided to the Company, or the enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, without the prior written consent of the
Company.

 

7.4 
Scope of Restrictions. The Employee understands that the foregoing restrictions may restrict his ability to earn a livelihood
in a business similar to the business of the Company, but nevertheless acknowledges and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable because
of the nature of Employee’s position and because he is to receive Proprietary Information and be paid sufficiently high remuneration
and other benefits hereunder to clearly justify such restrictions. The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that such restrictions
will not cause unreasonable hardship for the Employee and are no broader than necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company.

 

7.5 
Non-Disparagement. During the time the Employee is employed by the Company, and for three (3) years following the Termination
Date, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish any disparaging statements (whether written or oral) in any forum or
through any medium of communication regarding the Company or any of its directors, officers or senior management employees. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.5 shall or shall be deemed to prevent or impair Employee from making truthful statements in any
legal or administrative proceeding or from otherwise complying with legal requirements.

 

7.6 
Material. The Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 7 were a material inducement to the Company
to enter into this Agreement, and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the agreements and covenants contained
herein. The Employee further acknowledges that the territorial and time limitations set forth in this Section 7 are reasonable and properly
required for the adequate protection of the business of the Company. Employee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any and all
right to contest the validity of this Section 7 on the ground of breadth of its geographic scope, product and service coverage, or length
of term.

 

7.7 
Compliance Statement. During the time period beginning on the Termination Date and ending at the end of the Restricted
Period, the Employee shall deliver to Company a written confirmation that the Employee is and has been acting in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, as may be requested by the Company from time to time.

 

    9

     

    

 

8. 
Certain Remedies. In connection with the provisions of Sections 6.8(d), 7 and 9, the Employee expressly acknowledges
and agrees that:

 

(a)   The
Company shall be entitled to all lawful remedies available to it for the enforcement of the covenants contained in Sections 6.8(d),
7 and 9, and such provisions may be enforced by an action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) in any court of
competent jurisdiction. In addition, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that Sections 6.8(d), 7 and 9 shall constitute separate
covenants which shall be enforceable during and after the time the Employee is employed by the Company. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company would be irreparably damaged if any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Employee in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached
by the Employee. It is accordingly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to
prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Employee without the necessity of proving that damages would be an
inadequate remedy or posting any bond, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, which rights shall be cumulative
and in addition to any other remedy to which the Company may be entitled hereunder or at law or equity. It is further agreed that
any successor or assign of the Company, may enforce the covenants contained in Sections 6.8(d), 7 and 9.

 

(b)  
The covenants contained in Sections 6.8(d), 7 and 9 shall be construed as independent of any other provisions of this Agreement,
and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Employee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise,
shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants of the Employee contained in Sections 6.8(d), 7 and
9.

 

9. 
Dispute Resolution; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

9.1 
Forum Selection. All Proceedings directly or indirectly arising from or relating to any controversy, dispute or claim
based upon, resulting from or relating to this Agreement or the Employee’s employment by the Company or the termination thereof
shall be brought in any federal or state court located in Denver, Colorado.

 

9.2 
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING FROM
OR RELATING TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BASED UPON, RESULTING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EMPLOYEE’S EMPLOYMENT
BY THE COMPANY OR THE TERMINATION THEREOF.

 

10. 
Miscellaneous.

 

10.1 
Assignment. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement may, without the consent of the Employee,
be assigned by the Company to any purchaser of the equity securities of the Company or substantially all of its assets and business or

the Employee’s right to receive any compensation hereunder, which may not be assigned, sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated,

10.3 
Waiver of Breach. Any failure or delay on the part of the Company to exercise any remedy or right under this Agreement
shall not operate as a waiver of any other remedies or rights. The failure of the Company to require performance of any of the terms,
covenants, or provisions of this Agreement by the Employee shall not constitute a waiver of any of the rights under the Agreement. No
forbearance by either party to exercise any rights or privileges under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver, but all rights and
privileges shall continue in effect as if no forbearance had occurred. No covenant or condition of this Agreement may be waived except
by the written consent of the Company.

10.7  Section
409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent
therewith, but without increasing the Company’s liability hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a
termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the
payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment 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 Agreement,
references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall
mean separation from service. In addition, the entitlement to any series of payments provided for in this Agreement shall be treated
as a series of separate payments rather than a single payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. All expense reimbursements
provided in this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company by the Employee no later than 60 days after the date on which the
applicable expense was incurred, and the Company shall reimburse the Employee within thirty (30) days after such submission (but in
no event shall such reimbursement occur later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such
expense was incurred). In addition, no reimbursement or in-kind benefit shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit and the amount available for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any calendar year shall not affect the
amount available for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in a subsequent calendar year.

 

10.8 
Headings. The section headings hereof are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction
or limit the scope or intent of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.9 
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and
assigns and the Employee and his personal representatives and heirs.

 

10.10 
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is for any
reason or to any extent, declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of the provision shall not be adversely affected; provided, however, that if for any reason any court of competent
jurisdiction shall find any provisions of Sections 7 or 9 unreasonable in duration, geographic scope or otherwise, it is the intention
of the parties that the restrictions and prohibitions contained therein shall be modified by the court to be effective to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law.

 

10.11 
Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by the Employee and the Company.

 

10.12 
Knowledge and Legal Representation. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and fully understands, or had
explained to the Employee by counsel of the Employee’s own choosing, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that
the Employee is signing this Agreement willingly and voluntarily, for and in consideration of the terms, conditions and covenants stated
herein.

 

10.13 
Interpretation. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. Any reference
to a “Section” shall be deemed to refer to a section of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “hereof,”
“herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import referring to this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes,” or “including”

	Indemnification	 

                                                                                The Release of Claims by the Company to Employee shall exclude and preserve rights to indemnification under the terms of the Company’s charter and bylaws and under the Company’s D&O insurance policy.

                                                                                Employee agrees and warrants that Employee will not disparage, defame, belittle, ridicule, discredit, denigrate or in any other way harm or damage the reputation of Releasees, their products or services.

	Attorneys’ Fees	 

                                                                                The Company shall reimburse Employee (or pay directly) for all attorney’s fees and advisory fees incurred by Employee in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Amendment (including the attachments hereto).

acknowledges that an action for monetary damages may not provide an adequate remedy for a breach of this Consulting Agreement. Accordingly,
the Company or others shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction in the event of any breach of this Consulting Agreement, in
addition to any other remedies that may be available at law or in equity.

Exhibit 1 to Gold Amendment

 

		9.	NON-SOLICITATION

 

9.1 Of Customers. Consultant
acknowledges that Company’s business depends to a significant degree upon the possession of information which is not generally known
to others, and that the success and profitability of Company requires that this information remain proprietary to Company. To enable Consultant
to provide the Services to Company, Company may disclose to Consultant all or part of its Trade Secrets and/or Confidential Information.
In order to guard the legitimate interest of Company in this information, it is necessary for Company to protect this information by holding
it confidential or as a trade secret, respectively. Due to the access and knowledge Consultant may acquire about Company’s business,
research and development plans, technologies, software and customers, and due to the value of Company’s Trade Secrets and the difficulty
of replacing them if they are disclosed, taken or misused for any reason, this Consulting Agreement is in part intended to protect Company’s
Trade Secrets and any other Confidential Information Consultant acquires while performing the Services, and also to protect Company from
unfair solicitation of its customers through unauthorized use or disclosure of its Trade Secrets. Therefore, Consultant agrees that during
the Term of this Consulting Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration of this Consulting Agreement
(collectively the “Non-Solicitation Period”), Consultant shall not directly or indirectly solicit any Company Customer with
respect to a product that is “in direct competition” (as defined in Section 1.2) with a product Company marketed or developed
during the period of time Consultant provided Services to Company. “Company Customer” shall mean any customer: (a) for whom
Consultant performed services while engaged by the Company; (b) which Consultant solicited on behalf of Company; or (c) who was a customer
of Company during the term of this Consulting Agreement.

 

9.2 Of Employees. During
the Non-Solicitation Period, neither party will, either directly or indirectly, solicit for employment any employee of the other party
who was assigned to the performance of the party’s obligations under this Consulting Agreement or spent a substantial amount of
their time in direct support of this Consulting Agreement, unless the hiring party obtains the prior written consent of the other party.

 

9.3 Acknowledgements.
The parties agree that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 9 will not prevent Consultant from earning a living in any industry
for which Consultant is qualified. The parties agree that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 9 are reasonably necessary for
the protection of Company and Company’s Trade Secrets, are reasonably limited to the activities those restrictions prohibit, are
reasonably limited in duration and geographic scope, and are reasonably limited in terms of their effect on Consultant and the public.

 

9.4 Remedies. In the event
Consultant violates any of the provisions set forth in this paragraph 9, Company may seek an injunction restraining Consultant from continued
violation or threatened violation of those provisions, and may pursue any other available legal or equitable remedies.

any part of this Consulting Agreement for any reason be declared invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining
provisions, which remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect as if this Consulting Agreement had been executed with the
invalid portion thereof eliminated, and it is hereby declared the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
portion of this Consulting Agreement without including any such part, parts, or portions which may, for any reason, be hereafter declared
invalid. Any provision shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances.

10.3 Assignment. This
Consulting Agreement is not assignable or transferable by Company or Consultant.

 

10.4 Disputes. Consultant
and Company recognize that disputes arising under this Consulting Agreement are best resolved at the working level by the parties directly
involved. Both parties are encouraged to be imaginative in designing procedures to resolve disputes at this level. Such efforts shall
include the referral of any remaining issues in dispute to higher authority within each participating party’s organization for resolution.
Failing resolution of conflicts at the organizational level, Consultant and Company agree that any remaining conflicts arising out of
or relating to this Consulting Agreement shall be submitted to non-binding mediation. If the dispute is not resolved through non-binding
mediation, then the parties may take other appropriate action subject to the other terms of this Consulting Agreement. Any controversy,
dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Consulting Agreement or breach of this Consulting Agreement that is not resolved pursuant
to the above provisions shall be settled solely by confidential binding arbitration by a single arbitrator in accordance with the commercial

of conflicts of law. The language of this Consulting Agreement shall be deemed to be the result of negotiation among the parties and their
respective counsel and shall not be construed strictly for or against any party.

 

10.9 Entire Consulting Agreement;
Survival. Except as specifically set forth herein, this Consulting Agreement states the entire Consulting Agreement between the
parties and supersedes all previous contracts, proposals, oral or written, and all other communications between the parties respecting
the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior understandings, representations, warranties, agreements or contracts (whether
oral or written) between Company and Consultant respecting the subject matter hereof. Consultant acknowledges that he did not rely on
any representation, statement or promise in entering into this Consulting Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. However, this
paragraph will not be construed to supersede any agreements previously entered into during Consultant’s employment relationship
with Company relating to protection or ownership of Company’s Confidential Information and/or Trade Secrets, or that include restrictive
