CONSULTING
Agreement

 

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made effective as of April 16, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and between iCAD,
Inc., a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at 98 Spit Brook Road, Suite 100, Nashua, NH 03062
("iCAD"), and Carter Life Science Consulting, with its principal places of business at One Nashua Street, #2303, Boston,
MA 02114 (“Contractor”).

 

WHEREAS, iCAD and Contractor
desire to set forth the terms and conditions whereby the Company will engage Contractor and certain specified Contractor employees as
independent contractors and/or independent subcontractors to provide certain consulting services.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.       Scope
of Services.

 

(a)               
iCAD may, from time to time, engage Contractor personnel to provide iCAD with certain consulting services (the “Services”)
specified and described in a Statement of Work (hereinafter a “SOW” or a “Statement of Work”). Such
Services may be provided directly to iCAD or to an iCAD customer or client (a “Customer”) as more specified in the
Statement of Work. The initial Services engagement is set forth and described in the Statement of Work that is attached hereto as Exhibit
A. This Agreement does not impose on iCAD an obligation to deal exclusively with Contractor for services similar to the Services.
Conversely, Contractor is free to, and will, engage in work and/or provide services or the like to third-parties other than the Company.
The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control over any conflicting provisions of the Statement of Work unless the Statement
of Work expressly references the provision of this Agreement that it is to control over (in which case such provision in the Statement
of Work shall control over such referenced provision but only as it pertains to that Statement of Work).

 

(b)       An
SOW may designate the individual or individuals who will perform the Services (each, along with any replacement or additional individuals,
a “Designated Individual”). If any Designated Individual is terminated or becomes unavailable to perform the Services
for reasons beyond Contractor’s reasonable control, Contractor may provide the Services through another Designated Individual with
appropriate training and experience, provided that, (i) Contractor promptly notifies iCAD of the termination or unavailability of the
Designated Individual, and (ii) iCAD approves any proposed replacement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
iCAD may, from time to time, determine that additional Designated Individuals are required for the performance of the Services. In such
event, iCAD shall approve any additional Designated Individuals proposed by Contractor for assignment, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Contractor will remove such additional Designated Individuals at such time as iCAD reasonably determines that the
Services no longer require such additional Designated Individuals. iCAD shall have the right to request the replacement of any Contractor
personnel, whether or not a Designated Individual, at any time and for any reason. If iCAD becomes dissatisfied with any such personnel,
iCAD may notify Contractor of the details of its dissatisfaction, and the parties shall cooperate to remedy the problem as soon as reasonably
possible. If iCAD reasonably requests, Contractor shall reassign the individual who is the subject of iCAD’s dissatisfaction and
replace that individual with another individual. iCAD shall not pay any personnel for vacation, sick time, travel time, or other non-working
days.

(c)       If
mutually agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, Contractor may perform or provide, from time to time, additional services and deliverables
to iCAD in addition to the Services set forth in the initial Statement of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Additional Services").
Any such Additional Services shall be evidenced by one or more additional Statements of Work which shall describe in detail the following
information: (i) a detailed description of the Additional Services Contractor is to perform; (ii) an incorporation by reference of this
Agreement; (iii) a projected timetable by which each of the identified phases of the Additional Services are to be completed; (iv) iCAD's
special conditions of acceptance, if any; (v) the location where the Additional Services are to be performed; (vi) the projected commencement
and termination dates; (vii) Contractor's compensation rates; (viii) maximum authorized fee for the Additional Services and maximum reimbursable
expenses, if any; (ix) names of Contractor's employees who will provide such Services; (x) a timetable for invoicing; and (xi) such other
requirements for the Additional Services as may be agreed to by the parties. As used herein, "Statement of Work" shall refer
to the Statement of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A with respect to the Services and, once any additional statements of work
for Additional Services are agreed to by both parties in writing, such additional statements of work for the Additional Services. Contractor
shall not be obligated to undertake, and iCAD will not be obligated to pay for, any Additional Services prior to iCAD and Contractor having
signed a valid and complete Statement of Work for such Additional Services.

 

(d)       Contractor
and iCAD may modify the terms of this Agreement or the Statement of Work (or provisions thereof) only in a written agreement which is
signed by both parties (a “Change Order”). If iCAD delivers to Contractor a written request for a Change Order, Contractor
will prepare an estimate setting out the proposed changes which will be required to the Services, any increase or decrease in the cost,
and any impact to the time frame for delivery and/or completion of the Services. If, after receipt of the foregoing information, iCAD
elects to continue with the Change Order, the parties hereto shall enter into a written Change Order which identifies the foregoing changes,
and the Statement of Work shall be deemed so modified upon the execution of such Change Order by both parties hereto.

 

(e)       Contractor
may render the Services at such times and from a location of the Contractor’s choosing unless stipulated otherwise. Consultant shall
bear his own costs for securing and maintaining appropriate workspace, equipment and other resources and tools necessary to perform the
Services.

 

2.       Term.
The initial term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect until terminated by the parties
pursuant to Section 9 below.

 

3.       Payment
Terms and Invoicing.

 

(a)          Fees.
Fees to be paid to Contractor for the Services shall be as set forth in each applicable Statement of Work.

 

(b)        Expenses.
iCAD shall not be obligated to reimburse Contractor or any Contractor employee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
the performance of the Services, except for extraordinary or unusual expenses incurred by the Contractor as reasonably necessitated in
the performance of the Services, provided that Contractor first received the prior written consent of iCAD prior to incurring any such
expenses. Contractor shall record such approved expenses on the invoice described in paragraph 3(c) below. As a condition to receipt of
reimbursement for such expenses, Contractor shall submit to the Company reasonable evidence or proof that the amount involved was expended
and related to Services provided under this Agreement. The Company shall have no obligation to reimburse Contractor for unreasonable expenses,
expenses that are not related to Company business and the Services, expenses in excess of the amount, if any, that were approved in advance
by the Company, or expenses that are demonstrably not in accord with this Agreement.

(c)       Invoicing.
Contractor shall render invoices to iCAD in accordance with the invoicing terms set forth in the Statement of Work. Unless otherwise specified
in the Statement of Work, Contractor shall present an invoice to iCAD monthly in arrears within two days following the end of each calendar
month. The invoice shall indicate the nature of the work performed, the hours expended, the hourly rate for the Contractor employee providing
such work (if applicable), and any reasonable expenses incurred by Contractor which are to be paid by iCAD pursuant to Section 3(b) above,
(including any reasonable documentation required by iCAD), as well as the total amount then due. In such invoices, Consultant shall set
forth sufficient detail to permit the Company to reasonably ascertain the tasks performed during the hours billed, and, upon the Company’s
request, Consultant shall deliver to the Company in a reasonably usable form and format his work product. Undisputed invoices shall be
due and payable within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice and all required documentation, unless other terms of payment are
expressly set forth in the Statement of Work.

 

(d)       Taxes.
Contractor shall be responsible for the withholding and/or payment, as required by law, of all federal, state and local taxes or contributions
required or imposed on Contractor or its employees because of the performance of the Services hereunder. Further, Contractor shall comply
with all federal and state benefits laws applicable to Contractor or its employees, if any, including making deductions and contributions
to social security, unemployment tax, and any other payment due. Each party shall be responsible for the payment of other taxes, if any,
imposed upon it in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, taxes or similar liabilities chargeable
against the income or gross receipts of Contractor shall be paid by Contractor. The Company will record payments to Contractor on an Internal
Revenue Service Form 1099, and will not withhold any federal, state or local employment taxes on Contractor’s behalf. Contractor
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any claim, proceeding, damages and liability, including but not limited to attorney’s
fees and costs, arising from Contractor’s breach of the provisions of this paragraph.

 

4.       Confidential
Information.

 

(a) During the term of this
Agreement, each party may provide the other party with access to information that is confidential and proprietary information of the disclosing
party or its customers (the "Proprietary Information"). Proprietary Information shall include any information or trade secrets
of the disclosing party and of any third party that the disclosing party is under obligation to keep confidential, including without limitation
information respecting technology inventions, products, designs, methods, know-how, techniques, systems, processes, prototypes, software
programs, customer identities, projects, plans and proposals, pricing and market data, business plans and strategies, contracts, research,
customer and prospect lists. Additional Proprietary Information shall be so designated by the disclosing party. The receiving party acknowledges
that the Proprietary Information is and shall remain, the sole and exclusive confidential property of the disclosing party or its customers
or licensors notwithstanding any access to the Proprietary Information provided hereunder by the disclosing party to the receiving party.
For the sake of clarity, any Proprietary Information of any iCAD Customer shall be deemed “Proprietary Information” under
this Agreement. All information to be designated as Proprietary Information shall be so designated in writing by the disclosing party,
whether by letter or by the use of an appropriate proprietary stamp or legend, prior to or at the time any such trade secret or confidential
or proprietary information is disclosed by the disclosing party to the receiving party. Information which is orally or visually disclosed
to the receiving party by the disclosing party, or is disclosed in writing without an appropriate letter, proprietary stamp or legend,
shall constitute Proprietary Information if it would be apparent to a reasonable person, familiar with the disclosing party’s business
and the industry in which it operates, that such information is of a confidential or proprietary nature the maintenance of which is important
to the disclosing party.

(b) The receiving party shall
treat and hold the Proprietary Information as strictly confidential and shall take all actions necessary to protect the confidentiality
of the Proprietary Information. The receiving party shall not: (i) copy or reproduce the Proprietary Information or sell, assign, license,
sublicense, or transfer, in whole or in part, or disclose, the Proprietary Information to any other person or entity, including without
limitation any parent, subsidiary or affiliate, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party; or (ii) decompile, disassemble
or reverse engineer any computer program supplied to receiving party as part of the Proprietary Information. The receiving party shall
limit access to the Proprietary Information to those of its employees who are directly involved in any work, Services, or other activities
to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. The receiving party shall only disclose the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information
to those of its employees who have a need to know such information to provide the Services or perform their obligations under this Agreement
and who are bound by a written confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement that contains the terms and provisions regarding confidentiality
that are substantially similar to those contained in this Section 4. All Proprietary Information made available to the receiving party,
including any copies thereof, shall be returned immediately to the disclosing party upon request by the disclosing party and, in any event,
upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the obligations of the receiving party described in subparagraph (b) with respect to maintaining the confidentiality
of Proprietary Information shall not apply with respect to any information which would be Proprietary Information, except that it: (i)
was previously known to the receiving party, free from any obligations of confidentiality; (ii) is disclosed to the receiving party by
a third party whom the receiving party has no reasonable basis for believing is subject to a confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement;
(iii) is or becomes available to the public other than by the unauthorized disclosure by the receiving party; (iv) is independently developed
by the receiving party without the use of the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information; or (v) is disclosed by the receiving party
pursuant to law or administrative or regulatory authority.

 

5.       Contractor
Representations.

 

(a)       Contractor
represents and warrants that it has full power to enter into this Agreement, to carry out its obligations under this Agreement and to
grant the rights granted herein to iCAD. Contractor represents that Contractor’s performance hereunder does not and will not breach
any agreement with any third party or cause Contractor to be in default with any third party and Contractor will not disclose to iCAD
or induce iCAD to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any third party. Contractor and its employees
shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, policies,
regulations and procedures and the requirements of any other public or private authority, in each case as applicable to the performance
by Contractor of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

(b)       Contractor
represents and warrants that it and its employees have the requisite skill, experience and resources to perform the work described in
the Statement of Work and that the Services shall be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards,
exercising due skill and care and consistent with applicable law.

 

(c)       Contractor represents
and warrants that the Deliverables (as defined below) and any other material provided to iCAD by Contractor for use in connection with
Contractor’s obligations hereunder shall not violate any third party's intellectual property rights.

 

(d)
     Contractor shall ensure that its personnel shall comply with iCAD’s Customer’s
requests, rules and regulations (i) regarding conduct of Contractor’s personnel, (ii) regarding security at Customer sites or in
connection with Customer’s systems, and (iii) regarding document retention. Unless otherwise agreed by iCAD, Contractor’s
personnel will observe the working hours, working rules, and holiday schedules of such Customer
while working on such Customer’s premises.

(e)       Contractor
represents and warrants that (i) no Deliverable (as defined below) shall contain any material owned by any third party, except as disclosed
to iCAD in writing prior to Contractor's incorporating such material into any Deliverable, and that as to any such material, Contractor
shall have all rights necessary to provide to iCAD the full, unrestricted benefits to such material as incorporated into the Deliverable,
including without limitation the right to use, market, distribute and copy, and to provide such rights to others; (ii) all computer software
delivered hereunder (if any), and the media on which any copy is so delivered, shall not contain any code which will destroy or alter
data or program code or interfere with the operation of the computer on which the software is used, or any other computer with which such
computer exchanges data or storage media, except to the extent such actions are described in written documentation furnished with the
Deliverables so as to be under the knowing control of the user of the software; and (iii) unless otherwise approved in advance by iCAD
in writing all computer software delivered hereunder (if any) shall not contain any software subject to or governed by open source licenses,
including, without limitation, the GNU general public license.

 

For
purposes of this Agreement, acceptance of the Services and Deliverables described in each
Statement of Work shall occur on the date such Services and Deliverables have met the completion criteria specified in the Statement of
Work to the satisfaction of iCAD, as evidenced by issuance of written confirmation of completion and acceptance by iCAD. iCAD may withhold
payment for such Services or Deliverables in its discretion until it has accepted such Services and Deliverables.

 

6.       Ownership.

 

(a)       All
documentation, algorithms, program code, discoveries, creations, any inventions and ideas, material or other property, tangible or intangible,
arising out of or resulting from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the Services and all proprietary and intellectual
property rights thereto, including patent rights and copyright rights therein and all items developed pursuant to a Statement of Work
or delivered to iCAD hereunder by Contractor, (collectively, the “Deliverables”) shall belong to iCAD immediately upon development
and shall be treated as iCAD’s Proprietary Information. As to copyrights, Contractor agrees that all Deliverables shall be deemed
a “work made for hire” and that iCAD shall be deemed the author thereof for copyright purposes; provided, however, that if
any Deliverable is at any time determined to not be a work made for hire, this Agreement shall be deemed an irrevocable assignment of
the copyright to the entire Deliverable. The assignment of the Deliverables under this Agreement includes all rights of paternity, integrity,
attribution and withdrawal and any other rights known as, or substantially similar to, “moral rights.” To the extent such
moral rights may not be assigned under applicable law, Contractor hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action in connection
therewith, including any violation of such moral rights, in the absence of such consent. During the term of this Agreement and thereafter
at any reasonable time when called upon to do so by iCAD, Contractor shall execute patent applications, assignments to iCAD, and other
papers and shall render such other reasonable assistance at iCAD’s expense that iCAD believes necessary to secure for iCAD the full
protection and ownership of all rights in and to the Deliverables. The filing of patent applications on inventions made by Contractor
shall be decided by iCAD and shall be for such countries as iCAD shall elect. iCAD shall bear all the expense in connection with the preparation,
filing, and prosecution of applications for patents and for all matters provided in this Section 6 requiring the time and/or assistance
of Contractor as to inventions. 

 

(b)       
Notwithstanding the above, Contractor shall continue to own all right, title and interest in and to all techniques, methodologies, objects,
modules, software, or other materials (including all intellectual property rights therein) created or obtained by Contractor prior to
performing any Services under this Agreement or developed independent of this Agreement (“Contractor Technology”).
To the extent any Contractor Technology is incorporated into any Deliverable, Contractor hereby grants to iCAD a non-exclusive, perpetual,
irrevocable, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid-up license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, modify, and create derivative
works of and from such Contractor Technology for iCAD’s use, distribution or exploitation of the Deliverables. Contractor shall
also be free to use and employ its general skills, know-how, and expertise, and to use and employ any generalized ideas, concepts, know-how,
methods, techniques, or skills gained or learned during the course of any assignment, so long as it acquires and applies such information
without disclosure of any confidential or Proprietary Information of iCAD and provided further that in no event shall the Deliverables
be used or provided to any third party without iCAD's prior written consent.

7.        Indemnification.

 

(a)       Indemnity. Contractor
will defend, indemnify and hold harmless iCAD and its affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively,
the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to any claim, action or proceeding (each a “Claim”)
brought by any third party based upon: (a) any actual or alleged breach of Contractor’s representations, warranties or covenants
set forth in this Agreement or any personal injury, death or damage to property caused by Contractor or its personnel; or (b) actual or
alleged infringement, violation or misappropriation of any third-party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual
property or proprietary right by any Services or Deliverable. Contractor will use counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties
to defend each Claim. Contractor will at all times keep the Indemnified Parties advised of the status of each Claim and the defense of
such Claim. The Indemnified Parties will cooperate (at Contractor’s cost) with Contractor in the defense. Any Indemnified Party
may participate in the defense at its own expense. If at any time any Indemnified Party reasonably determines that any Claim might adversely
affect any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party may take control of the defense of the Claim at such Indemnified Party’s expense
(without limiting Contractor’s indemnification obligations), and in such event such Indemnified Party and its counsel will proceed
diligently and in good faith with such defense. Contractor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
without the Indemnified Parties’ prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Contractor’s duty to defend
is independent of its duty to indemnify.

 

(b)       Infringement
Remedy. If all or any part of any Services or Deliverable is held, or Contractor determines that it could be held, to infringe,
violate or misappropriate any third-party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right,
Contractor at no cost to iCAD (and without limiting any of Contractor’s obligations under Section 7(a)) will (a) procure for
iCAD the right to continue using the item in accordance with the rights under this Agreement, (b) replace the item with a reasonable replacement
(including with respect to functionality, interoperability with other software and systems, and levels of security and performance; collectively,
a “Replacement Item”) that does not infringe, wrongfully use or misappropriate any third-party patent, copyright, trademark,
trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right, or (c) modify the item so that it is a Replacement Item that no
longer infringes, wrongfully uses or misappropriates any third-party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual
property or proprietary right. If Contractor is unable to successfully accomplish any of the actions described above after promptly using
its best efforts to accomplish each of them, Contractor will, without limiting any other rights or remedies available to iCAD hereunder,
refund to iCAD upon written request all amounts paid by iCAD hereunder in connection with the affected Services and Deliverables.

 

(c)       Limitation.
Contractor’s obligations under Sections 7(a) and 7(b) will not apply to the extent the any Services or Deliverable infringes, violates
or misappropriates any third-party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right solely
as a result of modifications made by iCAD other than as authorized by Contractor or its agents.

8.       Consequential
Damages/Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF
ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, IN NO EVENT WILL ICAD OR CONTRACTOR BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR (i) ANY COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE
OR REPLACEMENT GOODS AND SERVICES, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF OR CORRUPTION TO DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PRODUCTION,
LOSS OF REVENUES, LOSS OF CONTRACTS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS OR WASTED MANAGEMENT AND STAFF TIME; (ii) ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES WHETHER ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ICAD OR CONTRACTOR HAVE BEEN ADVISED
SUCH DAMAGES MIGHT OCCUR OR (iii) ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES ICAD PAID OR OWES CONTRACTOR FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE
TO THE CLAIM. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL OPERATE SO AS TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
ARISING OUT OF NEGLIGENCE OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY LAW. THE LIMITATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION
8 SHALL ALSO NOT APPLY TO (A) A BREACH BY A PARTY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 4 ABOVE (CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION), (B) A BREACH
OF SECTION 6 (OWNERSHIP) OR (C) CONTRACTOR’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

9.        Termination.

 

(a)       Default.
If either party fails to comply in any material respect with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions herein and such failure continues
for thirty (30) days after written notification from the non-breaching party, the non-breaching party may, at its sole discretion and
in addition to any other right or remedy available under applicable law or in equity, immediately terminate this Agreement.

 

(b)       Termination
by iCAD. In addition, iCAD shall have the option to terminate this Agreement or any Statement of Work, for any reason or for no reason,
upon five (5) days prior written notice to Contractor. iCAD shall pay Contractor for the Services performed and accepted up through the
date of termination.

 

(c)       Insolvency.
Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other and may regard the other party as in default of this Agreement,
if the other party becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary petition of bankruptcy,
suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, or becomes subject to any proceeding under any bankruptcy
or insolvency law, whether domestic or foreign, or is wound up or liquidated, voluntarily or otherwise. In the event that any of the above
events occurs, that party shall immediately notify the other of its occurrence.

 

(d)       Return
of Materials. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Contractor and iCAD shall forthwith return to the other party all
papers, materials and other properties of such other party held by each for purposes of performance of this Agreement. In addition, each
party will assist the other party in orderly termination of this Agreement as may be necessary for the orderly, non-disrupted business
continuation of each party.

 

(e)       Survival.
The rights and obligations of any party which by their nature extend beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

10.        Independent
Contractor. It is understood and agreed that each of the parties hereto is an independent contractor and that neither party is, nor
shall be considered to be, an employee, agent, partner, joint-ventures, distributor, representative or the like of the other party, or
any formal or informal business organization, entity, partnership, venture, association or the like of the other party. This Agreement
does not constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, an employment relationship between the Company and any persons, nor as
an undertaking by the Company to hire Contractor or any person as an employee of the Company. Neither party shall act or represent itself,
directly or by implication, as an agent of the other or in any manner assume or create any obligation or commitment on behalf of, or in
the name of, the other. Should Contractor engage other individuals or entities to perform the Services hereunder, including employees
and subcontractors, Contractor shall obtain a signed nondisclosure and/or other restrictive covenants agreement or the like, in a form
acceptable to the Company, from said person or entity prior to their performance of any acts arising from or in connection with this Agreement.
All persons or entities supplied or used by Contractor shall be deemed employees or subcontractors of Contractor and will not be considered
subcontractors, employees, agents or the like of iCAD for any purpose whatsoever. Contractor and its personnel shall perform the Services
free of the direction, supervision and control of the Company, and shall perform the Services at a location of Contractor’s choosing.
Contractor further agrees to furnish all tools and materials necessary to accomplish Contractor’s obligations or Services under
this Agreement. Contractor shall assume full responsibility for the Services hereunder and shall bear the benefit/risk and all profit
and loss in rendering the Services. Contractor agrees to maintain adequate insurance, including professional, employer and/or other insurance,
to cover all exposure hereunder. Contractor and its employees or subcontractors will not be considered employees of the Company for any
purpose, including, without limitation, any Company employment policy or any employment benefit plan, and will not be entitled to any
benefits or compensation under any such policy or benefit plan (including without limitation unemployment and workers compensation benefits).
Contractor assumes full responsibility for the actions of all such personnel while performing Services under this Agreement and for the
payment of their compensation (including, if applicable, withholding of income taxes and the payment and withholding of social security
and other payroll taxes), workers’ compensation, disability benefits and the like to the extent applicable. Contractor also agrees,
represents and warrants that Contractor is solely and exclusively responsible for the payment of all taxes associated with the compensation
or payments generated under this Agreement. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless iCAD against all liability and loss in
connection with, and shall assume full responsibility for, its actions and the actions of all persons or entities engaged by it, and the
payment of all federal, state and local taxes or contributions imposed or required under this Agreement and/or law, with respect to Contractor
or its employees engaged in performance of this Agreement. Contractor and Company expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement
is not exclusive and Contractor can, and should, perform work for other persons and entities other than the Company, subject to the confidentiality,
nondisclosure and other restrictive covenants herein.

 

11.       Contractor
Personnel. To the extent any employee or contractor of Contractor is on iCAD's or iCAD’s Customer’s premises, Contractor
agrees that such persons will comply with all of iCAD or Customer rules, regulations and policies regarding the workplace as well as
applicable security procedures. Contractor agrees that any equipment or other personal property brought onto such premises during any
such visit shall be at Contractor's sole risk and iCAD nor its Customer shall be responsible for any loss or damage resulting to such
equipment or personal property or to any person in connection with such equipment or personal property.

 

12.       Notices. All notices
or demands required or permitted to be given or made hereunder by a party shall be in writing and, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, shall be deemed to have been given if made by hand delivery with signed receipt, or one (1) day after mailing by nationally recognized
overnight courier with signature required, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address designated on page 1 to this Agreement,
or at such other address as such other party shall have furnished in writing to the notifying party in accordance with this Section.

13.       Force
Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delays or other non-performance resulting from circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable
control, including, without limitation, fire or other casualty, act of God, strike or labor dispute, war or other violence, any law, order
or requirement of any governmental agency or authority or other causes beyond the reasonable control of such party (other than causes
related to such party’s financial condition or with respect to the payment of money), provided that such party has informed the
other party of such force majeure event upon the occurrence thereof (including a reasonable estimate of the additional time required for
performance) and such party uses best efforts and all due diligence to effect the required performance as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

14.       General
Terms.

 

(a)       Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, then such provision shall be null and void
but each other provision hereof not so affected shall be enforced to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(b)       Waiver.
No waiver of any right or remedy hereunder with respect to any occurrence or event on one occasion shall be deemed a waiver of such right
or remedy with respect to such occurrence or event on any other occasion.

 

(c)       Governing
Law; Specific Performance. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire

Exhibit 10.1K

COMERICA INCORPORATED
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (2 & 3 YEAR VEST)
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) between Comerica Incorporated (the “Company”) and XXXXXX (the “Participant”) is effective as of XXXXXX (the “Effective Date”).  Any undefined terms appearing herein as defined terms shall have the same meaning as they do in the Comerica Incorporated 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time, or any successor plan thereto (the “Plan”).  The Company shall provide a copy of the Plan to the Participant upon request.  
WITNESSETH:
1.Award of Restricted Stock Units.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby awards the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference), and subject further to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, XXXXXX restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (the “Award”).  Each RSU shall represent an unfunded, unsecured right for the Participant to receive one (1) Share, as described in this Agreement. 

2.Ownership Rights.  The Participant shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the Award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of Shares upon the vesting and settlement of RSUs underlying the Award. 

3.Dividend Equivalents.  If cash dividends are declared by the Board on the Common Stock on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below), cash dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the Shares underlying RSUs, whether such RSUs are vested or unvested, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs.  Such Dividend Equivalents shall be in an amount of cash per RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to each outstanding Share and shall be credited on the declaration date applicable to Shares.  The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to each Settlement Date shall be paid to the Participant with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible (and in no event more than forty-five (45) days) following each Settlement Date.  The Dividend Equivalents accrued on Shares underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be forfeited for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

4.Vesting of Award.  

a.General.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, 50% of the RSUs covered by the Award shall vest on each of the second and third anniversaries of the Effective Date (or, if such date is not a business day, the business day immediately preceding such date) (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s continued employment by the Company or one of its Affiliates through the applicable Vesting Date.  Any RSU representing a fraction of a Share that would otherwise vest on any date shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number, with any such fraction added to the portion of the Award that vests and becomes free of restrictions on the next Vesting Date.

b.Death or Disability.  In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability, prior to the final Vesting Date, any RSUs covered by the Award that are unvested shall immediately and fully vest effective as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.

c.Change in Control.  To the extent a Replacement Award is provided pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan, upon a Termination of Service of the Participant by the Company other than for Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined below), in each case, prior to the final Vesting Date and within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, any RSUs covered by the Award that are unvested shall immediately and fully vest effective as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.  If a Replacement Award is not provided in respect of the Award, the vesting provisions set forth in Section 10(b) of the Plan shall apply.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any other agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without the Participant’s consent:  (i) a material reduction in the Participant’s annual base salary or target short-term 

						
	Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (Special Version)	Page 2 of 5

incentive compensation opportunity, in each case, from that in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or (ii) a mandatory relocation of the Participant’s principal location of employment to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from his or her principal employment location immediately prior to the Change in Control and increases the distance between the Participant’s home and principal employment location.  In order to invoke a termination for Good Reason, the Participant shall provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (i) or (ii) within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s knowledge of the initial existence of such condition or conditions, and the Company shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may cure the condition, if curable.  If the Company fails to cure the condition constituting Good Reason during the Cure Period, the Participant must terminate employment, if at all, within one (1) year following the end of the Cure Period in order for such termination to constitute a termination for Good Reason. The Participant’s mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (i) or (ii) shall not affect the Participant’s ability to terminate employment for Good Reason.
d.All Other Terminations.  Except as provided in this Section 4, if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the final Vesting Date, any RSUs covered by the Award that are unvested shall be forfeited for no consideration effective immediately as of the date of Termination of Service, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

5.Special Vesting and Forfeiture Terms.

a.Forfeiture Resulting from Acts Occurring During the Grant Year. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it shall be determined at any time subsequent to the Effective Date and prior to each respective Settlement Date (or, in the case of a termination due to death or Disability, the date of Termination of Service) that the Participant has, during the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs (the “Grant Year”), (i) failed to comply with Company policies and procedures, including the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or the Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics (if applicable), (ii) violated any law or regulation, (iii) engaged in negligent or willful misconduct, (iv) engaged in activity resulting in a significant or material Sarbanes-Oxley control deficiency, or (v) demonstrated poor risk management or lack of judgment in discharge of Company duties, and such failure, violation, misconduct, activity or behavior (1) demonstrates an inadequate sensitivity to the inherent risks of Participant’s business line or functional area, and (2) results in, or is reasonably likely to result in, a material adverse impact (whether financial or reputational) on the Company or Participant’s business line or functional area, all or part of the Award granted under this Agreement that has not yet become vested at the time of such determination may be cancelled and forfeited. “Inadequate sensitivity” to risk is demonstrated by imprudent activities that subject the Company to risk outcomes in future periods, including risks that may not be apparent at the time the activities are undertaken. 

b.Forfeiture of Award for Acts Occurring in Years Other Than the Grant Year. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if the Participant receives one or more equity awards in any calendar years other than the Grant Year (an “Other Grant Year”) pursuant to an Award Agreement that contains a clause substantially similar to Section 5(a) above, and it shall be determined that Participant, as a result of risk-related behavior, should be subject to the forfeiture of all or part of any such award granted in such Other Grant Year in accordance with the terms of such clause, then the unvested portion of the Award granted under this Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent necessary to equal the Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value (as defined below). The term “Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value” shall mean the value (as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion) of any portion of the Award determined by the Committee to be subject to forfeiture with respect to the Other Grant Year (without regard to whether or not some portion thereof has already vested) that has in fact vested prior to such determination by the Committee. All or a portion of the RSUs granted under this Agreement that have not yet become vested shall be subject to forfeiture in order to satisfy as much as possible of the Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value, and the valuation of the Award for such purpose shall be determined in the absolute discretion of the Committee. 

6.Settlement.  Once vested, the Award shall be settled as follows:

						
	Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (Cliff)	Page 3 of 5

a.In General.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the vested portion of the Award shall be settled in Common Stock as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event more than forty-five (45) days) following each date on which the Award vests (each date of settlement, a “Settlement Date”).  On each Settlement Date, the Company shall issue to the Participant (or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s designated beneficiary pursuant to Section 13(f) of the Plan, as applicable or, in the case of the Participant’s Disability, to the Participant’s guardian or legal representative, if applicable and if permissible under applicable law) a number of whole Shares equal to the number of RSUs that are vested but unsettled as of immediately prior to the applicable Settlement Date (the “Settlement Shares”).  Nothing herein shall preclude the Company from settling the RSUs upon a Section 409A CIC, if they are not replaced by a Replacement Award, to the extent such settlement is effectuated in accordance with Treas. Regs. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B).

b.Termination of Rights.  Upon the issuance of the Settlement Shares in settlement of the vested RSUs, such portion of the Award shall be settled in full and the Participant (or his or her designated beneficiary pursuant to Section 13(f) of the Plan, in the case of death) shall have no further rights with respect to  such portion of the Award, other than with respect to the payment of the Dividend Equivalents accrued with respect to such vested RSUs.  

7.Withholding.  The Participant authorizes the Company to withhold from his or her compensation, including RSUs subject to the Award and the Settlement Shares issuable hereunder, to satisfy any income and employment tax withholding obligations in connection with the Award. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Settlement Shares subject to the Award, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all Federal, state and local income and employment taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount.  The Participant agrees that the Company may delay delivery of the Settlement Shares until proper payment of such taxes has been made by the Participant.  If required pursuant to the Company’s policy as applied to the Participant or elected by the Participant, to the extent permitted by law, tax withholding obligations in respect of the Award shall be satisfied by authorizing the Company to withhold (provided the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate in the Participant’s applicable tax jurisdiction or such lesser amount as is necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment for the Company) from the Settlement Shares otherwise issuable to the individual pursuant to the settlement of the Award, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value, as of the date the obligation to withhold such taxes arises, which will satisfy the amount of the withholding tax obligation.  Further, unless determined otherwise by the Committee, the Participant may satisfy such obligations under this Section 7 by any other method authorized under Section 13(d) of the Plan.

8.Section 409A of the Code.

a.The Award is intended to qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception under Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent that the Award is construed to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to operate, administer, construe and interpret this Agreement in a manner that minimizes adverse tax consequences to the Participant and is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation.  In no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment or distribution under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company), amounts that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code that would otherwise be payable by reason of the Participant's Termination of Service during the six (6)-month period immediately following such Termination of Service shall instead be paid or provided on the first business day following the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s Termination of Service. If the Participant dies following the Termination of Service and prior to the payment of any amounts delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid to the designated beneficiary of the Participant pursuant to Section 13(f) of the Plan within forty-five (45) days following the date of the Participant's death.

						
	Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (Cliff)	Page 4 of 5

b.This Agreement shall be subject to amendment, with or without advance notice to the Participant, and on a prospective or retroactive basis, including, but not limited to, amendment in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the Participant, to the extent necessary to effect compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no liability whatsoever for or in respect of any decision to take action to attempt to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any omission to take such action or for the failure of any such action taken by the Company to so comply. 

9.Cancellation of Award.  The Committee has the right to cancel for no consideration all or any portion of the Award in accordance with Section 2(d) of the Plan if the Committee determines in good faith that the Participant has done any of the following:  (i) been convicted of, or plead guilty or nolo contendere to, a charge of commission of a felony under federal law or the law of the state in which such action occurred; (ii) committed fraud; (iii) embezzled; (iv) disclosed confidential information or trade secrets; (v) was terminated for Cause; (vi) engaged in any activity in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company; or (vii) engaged in conduct that adversely affected the Company.  

The Delegate shall have the power and authority to suspend the vesting of or the right to receive the Settlement Shares in respect of all or any portion of the Award if the Delegate makes in good faith the determination described in the preceding sentence.  Any such suspension of an Award shall remain in effect until the suspension shall be presented to and acted on by the Committee at its next meeting.  This Section 9 shall have no application following a Change in Control.
10.Compliance with Laws and Regulations.  The Award and the obligation of the Company to deliver the Settlement Shares subject to the Award are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, to receipt of any approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required, and to any determinations the Company may make regarding the application of all such laws, rules and regulations.

11.Binding Nature of Plan.  The Award is subject to the Plan.  The Participant agrees to be bound by all terms and provisions of the Plan and related administrative rules and procedures, including, without limitation, terms and provisions and administrative rules and procedures adopted and/or modified after the granting of the Award.  If any provisions hereof are inconsistent with those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control, except to the extent expressly modified herein pursuant to authority granted under the Plan. 

12.Notices.  Any notice to the Company under this Agreement shall be in writing to the following address or facsimile number:  Human Resources - Total Rewards, Comerica Incorporated, 1717 Main Street, MC 6515, Dallas, TX 75201; Facsimile Number: 214-462-4430.  The Company shall address any notice to the Participant to his or her current address according to the Company’s personnel files.  All written notices provided in accordance with this Section 12 shall be deemed to be given when (a) delivered to the appropriate address(es) by hand or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid); (b) sent by facsimile to the appropriate facsimile number, with confirmation by telephone of transmission receipt; or (c) received by the addressee, if sent by U.S. mail to the appropriate address or by Company inter-office mail to the appropriate mail code.  Either party may designate in writing some other address or facsimile number for notice under this Agreement.  
 
13.Force and Effect.  The various provisions of this Agreement are severable in their entirety.  Any judicial or legal determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision shall have no effect on the continuing force and effect of the remaining provisions.

14.Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors of the respective parties.

15.No Right to Continued Employment.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company or its Affiliates for any given period or on any specified terms nor in any way affect the Company’s or its Affiliates’ right to terminate the Participant’s employment without prior notice at any time for any reason or for no reason.

16.Voluntary Participation.  Participation in the Plan is voluntary.  The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any.  As such, the Award is not 

						
	Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (Cliff)	Page 5 of 5

part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.  

17.Recoupment.  In addition to the cancellation provisions of Sections 5 and 9, RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the recoupment (clawback) policy adopted by the Company as in effect from time to time, as well as any recoupment/forfeiture provisions required by law and applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries; provided, however, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company’s recoupment (clawback) policy shall have no application to the Award following a Change in Control. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by an appropriate officer of Comerica Incorporated and accepted by the Participant, both as of the day and year first above written.
