Company’s registration obligations set forth in this Section 2, obtain effectiveness of Registration Statements, and maintain the

all the Registrable Securities have been sold or may permanently be sold without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, as determined
by the counsel to the Company or the Investor’s Counsel pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable
to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (the “Registration Period”).

 

    2

     

    

 

(b) On
or prior to the Filing Deadline, prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or SB-2 (or, if the Company is then
eligible, on Form S-3) covering the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities. Each Registration Statement prepared
pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount as of
date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC and each subsequent registration statement thereafter. Each Registration
Statement shall contain the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and contain all the required disclosures set forth on Exhibit B. The Company shall
use its best efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
the Effectiveness Deadline. By 5:30 pm on the Business Day following the date of effectiveness, the Company shall file with the SEC in
accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.
Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, the Company shall furnish a draft of the Registration Statement to the
Investor for their review and comment. The Investor shall furnish comments on the Registration Statement to the Company within 24 hours
of the receipt thereof from the Company and the Company shall give due consideration to such comments.

 

(c) During
the Registration Period, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments)
and supplements to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with a Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective
at all times during the Registration Period, (ii) prepare and file with the SEC additional Registration Statements in order to register
for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented
by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement
or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Investor true and complete copies of all correspondence from
and to the SEC relating to a Registration Statement (provided that the Company may excise any information contained therein which would
constitute material non-public information as to any Investor which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company); and
(iv) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered
by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments
and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section
2(d)) by reason of the Company’s filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into
the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange
Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

  

(d) Reduction
of Registrable Securities Included in a Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the SEC
requires the Company to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement in order to allow the Company
to rely on Rule 415 with respect to a Registration Statement, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement
(which may be a subsequent Registration Statement if the Company needs to withdraw a Registration Statement and refile a new Registration
Statement in order to rely on Rule 415) only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities as the SEC shall permit. Any Registrable
Securities that are excluded in accordance with the foregoing terms are hereinafter referred to as “Cut Back Securities.”
To the extent Cut Back Securities exist, as soon as may be permitted by the SEC, the Company shall be required to file a Registration
Statement covering the resale of the Cut Back Securities (subject also to the terms of this Section) and shall use best efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter.

 

    3

     

    

 

(e) Failure
to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration Statement or Remain Current. If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on
or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording the Investor the opportunity to review and
comment on the same as required by Section 2(c), the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company
fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within 5 Trading
Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that a Registration Statement will
not be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, or (iii) a Registration Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder
is not declared effective by the SEC by its Effectiveness Deadline, or (iv) after the effectiveness, a Registration Statement ceases for
any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, or the Holders
are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for more than 30 consecutive calendar
days or more than an aggregate of 40 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not be consecutive calendar days), or (v) if
after the six month anniversary of the date hereof, the Company does not have available adequate current public information as set forth
in Rule 144(c) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”), then in addition to any other rights the
holders of the Convertible Debentures may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event date and on each monthly anniversary
of each such Event date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company
shall pay to each holder of Convertible Debenture an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”)
and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
for any Convertible Debentures then held by such holder. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate Liquidated Damages payable to a
holder of Convertible Debentures under this Agreement shall be fifteen 15% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such holder pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and in no event shall the Company be liable in any thirty (30) calendar day period for Liquidated
Damages under this Agreement in excess of fifteen (15) percent of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Holder for the Registrable
Securities. The partial Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month
prior to the cure of an Event.

 

(f) Liquidated
Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under subsection 2(e) above shall constitute
liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other rights of the Investor, including the right to call a default. The
parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate,
(ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to,
the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and
cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties
and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there shall be no Liquidated Damages for Cut Back Securities (as defined herein).

 

3. RELATED

Company shall, not less than three 3 Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading

furnish to the Investor electronic copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the reasonable and prompt review of such Investor, The Company shall not file

and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications
as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary
to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions

of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material,
nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement
or omission, and deliver an electronic copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor, which delivery obligation may be fulfilled
by directing the Investor to www.sec.gov. The Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has

(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information,
and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

 

(e) The
Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement,

and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and
to notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt
of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(f) If,
after the execution of this Agreement, the Investor believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it could reasonably be deemed
to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall use its commercially efforts to furnish
to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as a Investor
may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance
as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, and (ii) an opinion,
dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as
is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investor.

(g) If,
after the execution of this Agreement, a Investor believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it could reasonably be deemed
to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i)
the Investor and (ii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”)
all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”),
as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all
information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree, and the Investor hereby agrees,
to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to a Investor) or use any Record or other information which the
Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure
of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under
the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government
body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure

upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation
under this Section 3(i).

 

(j) The
Company shall cooperate with the Investor who holds Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be
offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be,
as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration

(a) The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)

its transfer agent to deliver unlegended certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of a Investor in accordance with the
terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Investor has
entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the
kind described in Section 3(d) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

6. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

With respect to Registrable
Securities which are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, the directors,
officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several
(collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding,
investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body
or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities
or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”),
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended
or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements
therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act,
any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being,
collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Investor and each such controlling person promptly as
such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable expenses incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation
which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly
for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y) shall
not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus
made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant
to Section 9 hereof.

 

    7

     

    

 

(b) In
connection with a Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the
same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, employees,
representatives, or agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act (each an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject,
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to
Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect
to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor
shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to
such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of
the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the
untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to the Investor
prior to such Investor’s use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

 

(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
(including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice
of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party
so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that
an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than
one (1) counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate
fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party
and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times
as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement
of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release
from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party
shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations
relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within
a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend
such action.

 

(d) The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(e) The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

    8

     

    

 

7. CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and
(ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8. REPORTS
UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

 

So long as the Investor owns
Registrable Securities, with a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act
or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public
without registration (“Rule 144”), and as a material inducement to the Investor’s purchase of the Convertible
Debentures, the Company represents, warrants, and covenants to the following:

 

(a) Make
and keep available public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b) The
Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required
to file such reports), other than Form 8-K reports

 

(c) During
the Registration Period, the Company shall file with the SEC in a timely manner all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement)
and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the Exchange Act and the SEC for filing thereunder.

 

(d) Electronically
furnish to the Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company
that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company
and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit
the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

9. AMENDMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

Provisions of this Agreement
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively),
only with the written consent of the Company and the Investor who then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon the Investor and the Company. No such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall
be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the
same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

10. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) A Person is deemed
to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities or owns
the right to receive the Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two (2)
or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election
received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

    9

     

    

 

(b) No
Piggyback on Registrations. Except as set forth on Schedule 10(b) attached hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security
holders (other than the Investor in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in the initial Registration Statement
other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until the initial Registration Statement
required hereunder is declared effective by the SEC, provided that this Section 10(b) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments
to registration statements already filed.

 

(c) Piggy-Back
Registrations. If at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the
Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account
of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the
Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any
entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company
shall send to the Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, any
such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable
Securities such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however, that, the Company shall not be required to register
any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 10(c) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities
Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

 

(d) Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
and will be deemed to have been delivered upon: (i) receipt, when delivered personally, (ii) 1 Business Day after deposit with an overnight
courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same, or (iii) receipt,
when sent by electronic mail (provided that the electronic mail transmission is not returned in error or the sender is not otherwise notified
of any error in transmission. The addresses and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action
or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Selling Stockholders

 

The shares of Common Stock
being offered by the selling stockholders are issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture. For additional information regarding
the issuance of the convertible debenture, see “Private Placement of Convertible Debentures above. We are registering the shares
of Common Stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except as otherwise noted
and except for the ownership of the convertible debenture issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders
have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the
selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of
the convertible debentures, as of ________, 200_, assuming conversion of all the convertible debenture held by the selling stockholders
on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercise.

 

The third column lists the
shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

 

In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least ___________
shares of common stock issued or issuable to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Because the
conversion price of the convertible debenture may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than
the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling
stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the convertible
debenture, a selling stockholder may not convert the convertible debenture to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such
selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% of
our then outstanding shares of Common Stock following such conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures which have not been converted. The number of shares in the second
column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan
of Distribution."

Plan of Distribution

 

Each Selling Stockholder (the
“Selling Stockholders”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from
time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the __________ or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility
on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

		●	ordinary
                                            brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

		●	block
                                            trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
                                            and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

		●	purchases
                                            by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

		●	an
                                            exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

		●	privately
                                            negotiated transactions;

 

		●	broker-dealers
                                            may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated
                                            price per share;

 

		●	through
                                            the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
                                            exchange or otherwise;

 

		●	a
                                            combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

		●	any
                                            other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may
also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available,
rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by
the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary
brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance
with NASDR IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale
of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one
or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this
prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or
amended to reflect such transaction).

 

    3

     

    

 

The Selling Stockholders and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the
aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

 

The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because Selling Stockholders
may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify
for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter
or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without
regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of
the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale
shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition,
in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or
an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement
of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by
the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed
them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with
Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made effective at the Effective Date set forth below between Heska Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Heska” or the “Company”), and Kevin S. Wilson (“Executive”) and supersedes and replaces in its entirety that certain employment agreement dated as of March 7, 2018 between Heska and Executive (the “Prior Agreement”).  Heska and Executive collectively are referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”
RECITALS
Executive is currently the Chief Executive Officer and President of Heska.  Executive and Heska are parties to the Prior Agreement.
The Prior Agreement will expire by its terms on December 31, 2021 and the Board of Directors of Heska (the “Board”) desires to enter into a new agreement with Executive as Chief Executive Officer and President to replace the Prior Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below.
Executive and Heska now wish to enter into this Agreement regarding the terms of Executive’s employment, which shall become effective on June 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) and supersede the Prior Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises, covenants, and agreements contained herein, the legal sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the Parties, agree as follows:
TERMS
1.Duties and Scope of Employment.
(a)Position and Duties.  Executive shall continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of Heska.  Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of Executive’s duties, consistent with Executive’s position within Heska, as will reasonably be assigned to Executive by the Board.
(b)Board Membership.  Executive was elected to a one-year term as a Board member at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2021. At each meeting of Heska’s stockholders when Executive is up for Board election, Heska will nominate Executive to serve as a member of the Board.  Executive’s service as a member of the Board will be subject to any required stockholder approval.  If elected, Executive will serve on the Board without any additional compensation.  At the request of the Board, Executive will also serve on the board of directors or other governing body of any subsidiary of Heska without any additional compensation.
(c)Obligations.  During the Term of Agreement (as defined below), Executive will devote all of his business efforts and time (excluding vacation, absence due to illness and similar 

time off) as well as other such attention, skills, time and business efforts as are necessary to responsibly act as Chief Executive Officer and President of Heska; provided, however, that Executive may continue to perform part-time management activities for Cuattro, LLC, Cuattro Software, LLC and Cuattro Medical, LLC; provided, further, that such services do not adversely affect Executive’s obligations to Heska.  For the duration of the Term of Agreement, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity, for any direct or indirect remuneration, without the prior approval of the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization, provided, that such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to Heska.
2.Term of Agreement.
(a)The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Term of Agreement.” Subject to the provisions for earlier termination of employment in Section 6 below, this Agreement will have an initial term commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and each anniversary thereafter, the Term of Agreement shall be automatically renewed for an additional one-year period unless either Heska or Executive provide notice of non-renewal of the Term of Agreement at least six months prior to such anniversary; provided, further, however, that either Heska or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time subject to the provisions in Section 6 below.
(b)Executive may be entitled to severance benefits pursuant to Section 6 below, depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment.  Upon the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, (i) Executive will be entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid compensation, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through Executive’s termination date under any Heska-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements and (ii) Executive agrees to resign from all positions that Executive holds with Heska, including his position as a member of the Board.
3.Compensation.
(a)Base Salary.  During the Term of Agreement, Heska will pay Executive an annual salary of $1,000,000 as compensation for Executive’s services (the “Base Salary”).  The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with Heska’s normal payroll practices and will be subject to the usual, required withholdings and deductions.  Executive’s Base Salary shall not be subject to change during the Term of Agreement; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will have the authority, but not an obligation, to consider Base Salary increases for Executive.
(b)Annual Bonus.  During the Term of Agreement, Executive will be eligible to participate in the Management Incentive Plan or such other bonus programs as established by the Committee (the “Bonus Plan”), at a target percentage that is no less than 50% of Executive’s Base Salary then in effect (the “Target Bonus”).  The actual bonus paid under the Bonus Plan 
2

may be higher (up to a maximum of 100% of Executive’s Base Salary then in effect) or lower than the Target Bonus for over or under-achievement of Executive’s performance goals, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide additional discretionary cash bonuses.  Bonuses, if any, will accrue and become payable in accordance with the Committee’s standard practices for paying executive incentive compensation; provided, however, that any bonus payable under this Section 3(b) will be payable within two-and-one-half months after the end of the taxable year to which it relates or such longer period as may be permitted by Treasury regulations in order to avoid application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) to such bonuses.  Any bonuses paid pursuant to this Section 3(b) will be subject to applicable withholdings and deductions.
(c)Equity Grants.
(i)In General.  During the Term of Agreement, Executive will not be eligible to receive periodic equity grants normally made to executives of the Company in the discretion of the Committee from time to time.  In lieu of such entitlements to participate in the normal equity programs of the Company, Heska shall make the one-time grants to Executive set forth below.
(ii)Performance-Vesting Option Grant.  On the Effective Date, Heska shall grant to Executive (the “Option Grant”) options to purchase 34,800 shares of Heska Common Stock (“Options”), in accordance with the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the form of Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Option Award Agreement”) which shall provide that such Options will vest, subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Award Agreement, based on achievement of stock price hurdles.
(iii)Performance-Vesting Restricted Stock Grants.  On the Effective Date, Heska shall grant to Executive 180,000 shares of Restricted Stock (as defined in the Plan) in accordance with the Plan and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the form of Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “RSA Agreement”), which shall provide that such shares of Restricted Stock shall vest, subject to the terms and conditions of the RSA Agreement, based on Heska’s achievement of revenue, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA measures, with 60,000 becoming earned if “target” levels of each performance metric are achieved and an aggregate of 180,000 becoming earned only if “maximum” levels of each performance metric are achieved.
4.Expenses.  In addition to the foregoing and subject to Section 5 below, Heska will reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket travel, entertainment, and other expenses, in accordance with Heska’s expense reimbursement policies and practices in effect at the time of the reimbursement request.  Executive shall submit such requests not later than 45 days after incurring such expenses.
5.Employee Benefits.  Executive will be eligible to participate in other benefits offered to other senior executives of Heska working from a home office and multiple Company locations, including any Company sponsored 401(k) or retirement plan, in accordance with (and subject to the legal limitations on) benefit plans, policies, and arrangements that may exist from time to time.  As of the Effective Date, such benefits include an automobile stipend of $700 per month 
3

and a general home office and communications stipend of $300 per month; provided, however, that no expense reimbursements provided for under Section 4 shall be duplicative of such stipends. 
6.Termination and Severance.
(a)Termination without Cause or for Good Reason Other Than In Connection with a Change of Control.  If, at any time, Executive’s employment is terminated by Heska without Cause (as defined below) (and not as a result of Executive’s death or Disability (as defined below)) or by Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), and the termination is not In Connection with a Change of Control (as defined below), Executive will receive the following, subject to conditions and limitations set forth in Section 7:
(i)A payment of an amount equal to 2.0x the sum of (A) Executive’s Base Salary and (B) the Target Bonus for the year of termination, payable in a lump sum within 60 days following the Termination Date.
(ii)Provided that Executive timely elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), Heska shall pay the COBRA premiums for coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under Heska’s Benefit Plans (as defined below) for 24 months, or if earlier, until Executive becomes eligible for Medicare or employed by another employer and eligible for coverage under such other employer’s welfare benefit plans (e.g., payments for medical COBRA premiums will cease when Executive becomes eligible for another employer’s medical plan); provided, however, that if Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA (other than as a result of becoming eligible for Medicare or eligible for coverage under another employer’s plan), Heska shall pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to (A) 24 less the number of months of COBRA that have previously been provided for as of such date, multiplied by (B) the amount of the COBRA premiums paid in the final month of COBRA eligibility.  Executive shall notify Heska immediately upon Executive’s acceptance of employment with another employer.
(b)Termination without Cause or for Good Reason In Connection with a Change of Control.  If, at any time, Executive’s employment is terminated by Heska without Cause (and not as a result of Executive’s death or Disability) or by Executive for Good Reason, and the termination is In Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, Executive will receive:
(i)A payment of an amount equal to 2.99x the sum of (A) Executive’s Base Salary and (B) the Target Bonus for the year of termination, payable in a lump sum within 60 days following the Termination Date.
(ii)Provided that Executive timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, Heska shall pay the COBRA premiums for coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under Heska’s Benefit Plans (as defined below) for 36 months, or if earlier, until Executive becomes eligible for Medicare or employed by another employer and eligible for coverage under such other employer’s welfare benefit plans (e.g., payments for medical COBRA 
4

premiums will cease when Executive becomes eligible for another employer’s medical plan); provided, however, that if Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA (other than as a result of becoming eligible for Medicare or eligible for coverage under another employer’s plan), Heska shall pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to (A) 36 less the number of months of COBRA that have previously been provided for as of such date, multiplied by (B) the amount of the COBRA premiums paid in the final month of COBRA eligibility.  Executive shall notify Heska immediately upon Executive’s acceptance of employment with another employer.
(c)Termination due to Death or Disability.  If, at any time, Executive’s employment with Heska is terminated as a result of Executive’s death or Disability, then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7, Executive will receive:
(i)A payment of an amount equal to a pro-rated portion of Executive’s Target Bonus for the year of termination based on the number of days in such year that Executive was employed by Heska, payable in a lump sum within 60 days following the Termination Date.
(ii)Provided that Executive timely elects continuation coverage under the COBRA, Heska shall pay the COBRA premiums for coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under Heska’s Benefit Plans for 24 months, or if earlier, until Executive becomes eligible for Medicare or employed by another employer and eligible for coverage under such other employer’s welfare benefit plans (e.g., payments for medical COBRA premiums will cease when Executive becomes eligible for another employer’s medical plan); provided, however, that if Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA (other than as a result of becoming eligible for Medicare or eligible for coverage under another employer’s plan), Heska shall pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to (A) 24 less the number of months of COBRA that have previously been provided for as of such date, multiplied by (B) the amount of the COBRA premiums paid in the final month of COBRA eligibility.  Executive shall notify Heska immediately upon Executive’s acceptance of employment with another employer.
(d)Termination without Good Reason or Termination for Cause.  If, at any time, Executive’s employment with Heska terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause by Heska, then (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by Heska to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), but Executive will be paid all accrued but unpaid expense reimbursements and other benefits due to Executive through the Termination Date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies and arrangements, and (iii) Executive will not be entitled to any severance or reimbursement for COBRA premiums.
(e)Excise Tax.  In the event that any benefits payable to Executive pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement (“Termination Benefits”) (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions, and (ii) but for this Section 6(e), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s Termination Benefits hereunder shall be either (A) provided to Executive in full, or (B) provided to Executive as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the 
5

Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable federal, state, local, and foreign income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under the Excise Tax.  Unless Heska and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6(e) shall be made in writing in good faith by Heska’s independent accountants.  In the event of a reduction of benefits hereunder, Executive shall be given the choice of which benefits to reduce.  If Executive does not provide written identification to Heska of which benefits Executive chooses to reduce within 10 days after written notice of the accountants’ determination, and Executive has not disputed the accountants’ determination, then Heska shall select the benefits to be reduced.  For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6(e), the accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code and other applicable legal authority.  Heska and Executive shall furnish to the accountants such information and documents as the accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 6(e).  Heska shall bear all costs the accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6(e).
7.Conditions to Receipt of Severance; Covenants; No Duty to Mitigate.
(a)Separation Agreement and Release of Claims.  The receipt of any severance payments or other benefits pursuant to Section 6 will be conditioned upon Executive signing and not revoking a confidential separation agreement and release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C with such modifications as Heska shall reasonably make from time to time to comply with applicable law.  No severance will be paid or provided if the Executive’s confidential separation agreement and release agreement is not signed and irrevocable within 45 days after the Executive’s termination date.  If Executive’s date of termination and the last day of any applicable statutory revocation period could fall in two separate taxable years, regardless of when Executive actually executes and delivers the release, payments will not commence until the later taxable year.
(b)Non-Competition.  Executive agrees not to engage in Competition (as defined below) during the Restricted Period (as defined below).  The geographic scope of this Section 7(b) is worldwide.  If Executive engages in Competition within the Restricted Period and within such geographic scope, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 6 will cease immediately.
(c)Non-Solicitation.  Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Executive, directly or indirectly, whether as employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, member, consultant, agent, founder, co-venturers, or otherwise, (i) will not solicit, induce, or influence any person to modify his or her employment or consulting relationship with Heska or hire or engage any of the Company’s Section 16 officers (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) will not intentionally divert business away from Heska by soliciting business from any of Heska’s customers and users who would otherwise have placed the solicited order with Heska (the “No Solicit”).  The geographic scope of this Section 7(c) is worldwide.  If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or 
6

No Solicit within the Restricted Period and within such geographic scope, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 6 will cease immediately.
(d)Remedies.  In the event of Executive’s breach of Section 7(b) or 7(c), Heska shall have any and all remedies available to it in law or in equity, including the right to recover any amounts paid under Section 6 of this Agreement and injunctive relief, specific performance, or any other equitable relief to prevent a breach and to secure the enforcement of this Section 7.  Injunctive relief may be granted immediately upon the commencement of any such action, and Heska need not post a bond to obtain temporary or permanent injunctive relief.
(e)No Duty to Mitigate.  Executive is under no duty or requirement to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.
8.Definitions.
(a)Benefit Plans.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Benefit Plans” means plans, policies, or arrangements that Heska sponsors (or participates in) and that immediately prior to the Termination Date provide Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents with medical, dental, or vision benefits.  Benefit Plans do not include any other type of benefit (including financial counseling, disability, life insurance or retirement benefits).  A requirement that Heska provide Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents with coverage under the Benefit Plans will not be satisfied unless the coverage is no less favorable than that provided to Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents immediately prior to the Termination Date.
(b)Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following:  (i) conviction of, or entry of a plea of nolo contendere to, any felony crime (including one involving moral turpitude), or any crime which reflects so negatively on Heska to be detrimental to Heska’s image or interests, or any act of fraud or dishonesty that has such equivalent or greater negative reflection upon Heska; (ii) the repeated commitment of insubordination or refusal to comply with any reasonable request of the Board related to the scope or performance of Executives duties; (iii) possession of any illegal drug on Heska premises or being under the influence of illegal drugs or abusing prescription drugs or alcohol while on Heska business, attending Heska-sponsored functions, or on Heska premises; (iv) the gross misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of Executive’s responsibilities which, based upon good faith and reasonable factual investigation of the Board, demonstrates Executive’s unfitness to serve; (v) material breach of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement; or (vi) material breach of any fiduciary duty of Executive to Heska, which results in material damage to Heska or its business; provided, however, that if any occurrence under subsections (ii), (iv), (v), and (vi) may be cured, Heska will provide notice to Executive describing the nature of such event and Executive will thereafter have 30 days to cure such event, and if such event is cured with that 30-day period, then grounds will no longer exist for terminating Executive’s employment for Cause.
7

(c)Change of Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” has the meaning provided to Change in Control in the Plan.
(d)Competition.  For purposes of this Agreement.  Executive will be deemed to have engaged in “Competition” if Executive, without the written consent of the Board or an authorized officer of any successor company to Heska, directly or indirectly (i) provides services or assistance in any form to any individual, entity, or company providing veterinary diagnostics products for the companion animal health veterinary industry or imaging diagnostics products or services for the veterinary market worldwide so long as such products comprise more than 5% of such company’s sales (a “Restricted Company”), whether such services or assistance is provided as an employee, consultant, agent, corporate officer, director, or otherwise or (ii) participates in the financing, operation, management, or control of, a Restricted Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8(d) or in Section 7(b) above shall prohibit Executive from being employed or engaged following the Term of Agreement in a corporate function or senior management position (and holding commensurate equity interests) in a division of a Restricted Company, so long as such division is not in any way engaged in providing veterinary diagnostics products for the companion animal health veterinary industry or imaging diagnostics products or services for the veterinary market in the United States and Executive does not directly or indirectly provide services or assistance to any division that does provide veterinary diagnostics products for the companion animal health veterinary industry or imaging diagnostics products or services for the veterinary market in the United States.
(e)Disability.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, the Executive either (i) is unable to perform the business and professional services in the performance of Executive’s duties, consistent with Executive’s position within Heska, as prior reasonably assigned to Executive by the Board, or (ii) is receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering Heska employees.
(f)Good Reason.
(i)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s express written consent:
(a)Executive’s authority with Heska is, or Executive’s duties or responsibilities as President, Chief Executive Officer and member of the board of directors of a company that is U.S.-based and publicly traded on U.S. markets are, materially diminished relative to Executive’s authority, duties, and responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change;
(b)a material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to such diminution; provided, that an across-the-board reduction in the base compensation and benefits of all other executive officers of Heska by the same percentage 
8

amount (or under the same terms and conditions) as part of a general base compensation reduction and/or benefit reduction shall not constitute such a qualifying material diminution;
(c)a required relocation of the geographic location of Executive’s principal place of employment away from Executive’s home in the Beaver Creek, Colorado area
(d)any material breach by Heska of any provision of this Agreement; and 
(e)any acquiring company fails to assume or be bound by the terms of this Agreement In Connection with a Change of Control.
(ii)The aforementioned occurrences shall not be deemed Good Reason unless Executive gives Heska written notice of the existence of the condition which Executive believes constitutes Good Reason (which notice must be given within 90 days of the initial existence of the condition) and such condition remains uncured for a period of 30 days after the date of such notice.  An event of Good Reason shall occur automatically at the expiration of such 30-day period if the relevant condition remains uncured at such time.
(g)In Connection with a Change of Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of Executive’s employment with Heska is “In Connection with a Change of Control” if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason during the period beginning three months prior to a Change of Control and ending 24 months following a Change of Control.
(h)Restricted Period.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Restricted Period” is the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on: (i) if Executive’s employment with Heska is terminated by Heska for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, (A) for purposes of Section 7(b), the Termination Date, and (B) for purposes of Section 7(c), the first anniversary of the Termination Date, (ii) if Executive’s employment with Heska is terminated by Heska without Cause, by Executive for Good Reason or as a result of Executive’s death or Disability that is not In Connection with a Change of Control, the second anniversary of the Termination Date, or (iii) if Executive’s employment with Heska is terminated by Heska without Cause, by Executive for Good Reason or as a result of Executive’s death or Disability that is In Connection with a Change of Control, the third anniversary of the Termination Date.
(i)Termination Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Termination Date” is the date that Executive’s employment with Heska terminates hereunder.
9.Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges that Executive has executed Heska’s standard employee Confidential Information and Invention Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).  During the Term of Agreement, Executive agrees, if requested by Heska, to execute any updated versions of Heska’s form of employee confidential information agreement as may be required of substantially all of Heska’s executive officers.
9

10.Executive’s Representations and Warranties.  Executive represents and warrants that Executive is not a party to any other employment, non-competition, or other agreement or restriction which could interfere with the Executive’s employment with Heska or Executive’s or Heska’s rights and obligations hereunder and that Executive’s acceptance of employment with Heska and the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder will not breach the provisions of any contract, agreement, or understanding to which the Executive is party or any duty owed by the Executive to any other person.
11.Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (b) one day after being delivered through a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (c) five business days after the date of mailing if sent certified or registered mail.  Notice to Heska shall be sent to its principal place of business with a copy provided by facsimile to the Chair of the Committee, and notice to Executive will be delivered personally or sent to Executive’s last known address provided to Heska.
12.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any Successor (as defined below) of Heska.  Any such Successor of Heska will be deemed substituted for Heska under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes.  For purposes of this Section 12, “Successor” means any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of Heska.  None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executives right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.
13.Integration.  This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, Heska’s stock plans and Executive’s award agreements, represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties as to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral, including the Prior Agreement.  No waiver, alteration or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in a writing that specifically references this Section 13 and is signed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties hereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is intended to modify the terms of Executive’s existing equity award agreements outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, including with respect to the vesting, acceleration and forfeiture provisions applicable to such existing equity awards described in Sections 3(c), 6(a)(iii) and 6(b)(iii) of the Prior Agreement.
14.Interpretation.  Section titles and headings contained herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to laws, regulations, contracts, agreements and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, agreements and instruments as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of 
10

laws or regulations include a reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation.  All references to “dollars” or “$” in this Agreement refer to United States dollars.  The word “or” is not exclusive.  Wherever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely.  All references to “including” shall be construed as meaning “including without limitation.”  The determination of the terms of, and the drafting of, this Agreement has been by mutual agreement after negotiation, with consideration by and participation of all Parties.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause shall not apply in the case of this Agreement.
15.Waivers.  Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof.  Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such Party.  The failure of any Party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
16.Partial Invalidity.  Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.  The Parties agree that an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall reform any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions to ensure such provisions are effective and valid under applicable law.
17.Tax Matters.
(a)Except as provided in Section 6(e) above, Executive agrees that Executive is responsible for any applicable taxes of any nature (including any penalties or interest that may apply to such taxes) that are reasonably determined to apply to any payment made to Executive hereunder (or any arrangement contemplated hereunder), that Executive’s receipt of any benefit hereunder is conditioned on Executive’s satisfaction or any applicable withholding or similar obligations that apply to such benefit, and that any cash payment owed to Executive hereunder will be reduced to satisfy any such withholding or similar obligations that may apply thereto.
(b)Executive acknowledges that no representative or agent of Heska has provided Executive with any tax advice or any nature, and Executive has consulted with Executive’s own legal, tax and financial advisor(s) as to tax and related matters concerning the compensation to be received under this Agreement.
11

(c)Executive acknowledges that under Section 83 of the Code, as the shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement vest, the fair value of such shares will be reportable as ordinary income at that time.  Executive further understands that instead of being taxed when and as such shares vest, Executive may elect to be taxed as of the date such shares are granted to Executive with respect to the fair value of all such shares on such date.  Such election may only be made under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days after such date of grant.  Executive acknowledges that failure to make this election within the 30-day period will result in the recognition or ordinary income as the shares vest.  EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS EXECUTIVE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF EXECUTIVE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON EXECUTIVE’S BEHALF.  EXECUTIVE IS RELYING SOLELY ON HIS OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE AN 83(b) ELECTION.
18.Section 409A.
(a)This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and shall be constructed accordingly.  It is the intention of the Parties that payments or benefits payable under this Agreement not be subject to the additional tax or interest imposed pursuant to Section 409A.  To the extent such potential payments or benefits are or could become subject to Section 409A, the Parties shall cooperate to amend this Agreement with the goal of giving Executive the economic benefits described herein in a manner that does not result in such tax or interest being imposed; provided, however, that no such amendment shall materially increase the cost to, or impose any liability on, Heska with respect to any benefits contemplated or provided hereunder.  Executive shall, at the request of Heska, take any reasonable action (or refrain from taking any action), required to comply with any correction procedure promulgated pursuant to Section 409A.
(b)If a payment that could be made under this Agreement could be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A, Heska in its sole discretion may accelerate some or all of a payment otherwise payable under the Agreement to the time at which such amount is includible in the income of Executive; provided, that such acceleration shall only be permitted to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation § l.409A-3(j)(4)(vii) and the amount of such acceleration does not exceed the amount permitted under Treasury Regulation § l.409A-3(j)(vii).
(c)No payment to be made under this Agreement shall be made at a time earlier than that provided for in this Agreement unless such payment is (i) an acceleration of payment permitted to be made under Treasury Regulation § l .409A-3(j)(4) or (ii) a payment that would otherwise not be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A.
(d)The right to each payment described in this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and a separately identifiable payment for purposes of Section 409A.
12

(e)For purposes of Section 6 of this Agreement, “termination”  (or any similar term) when used in reference to Executive’s employment shall mean “separation from service” with Heska within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder, and Executive shall be considered to have terminated employment with Heska when, and only when, Executive incurs a “separation from service” with Heska within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder.
(f)If Executive qualities as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and would receive any payment sooner than six months after Executive’s separation from service that, absent the application of this Section 18(f), would be subject to additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A as a result of such status as a specified employee, then such payment shall instead be payable on the date that is the earliest of (i) six months after Executive’s separation from service, (ii) Executive’s death, or (iii) such other date as will not result in such payment being subject to such additional tax.
19.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflict of law principles.  The Parties hereto each waive their respective rights to a jury trial of any and all such claims and causes or action.
20.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart will have the same force and effect as an original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.
21.Arbitration; Attorney’s Fees.  Subject to Section 7(d) above, if any dispute arises under this Agreement or by reason of any asserted breach or it, or from the Parties’ employment relationship or any other relationship, either Party may elect to have the dispute resolved through arbitration.  The arbitration shall be binding and conducted pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes, and the arbitrator shall allocate the fees and expenses of such arbitration.  Regardless of whether the dispute is resolved through arbitration or litigation, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing or attempting to enforce any of the terms, covenants and conditions, including costs incurred prior to commencement of arbitration or legal action, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in any appeal from an action brought to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions.  For purposes of this section, “prevailing Party” includes a Party who agrees to dismiss a suit or proceeding upon the other’s payment or performance of substantially the relief sought.
22.Survival.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Section 22 of the Prior Agreement and Sections 3(c)(v) and 6 through 22 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination or the Prior Agreement and this Agreement.
13

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Heska has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by a representative thereunto duly authorized, and Executive has hereunto set Executive’s hand, all as of the Effective Date.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(Employees and Consultants)
SECTION 1.AWARD.
a.This award (this “Award”) consists of an Option to purchase the number of Common Shares set forth on the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”), to which this Agreement is attached, at the Exercise Price per Common Share stated therein, which is not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Common Share on the Date of Grant (as defined in the Notice). This Agreement is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Heska Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as now or hereinafter in effect. Any capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement without being defined and that are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

No additional portion of the Option shall become vested after your service as an Employee or Consultant of the Company or a Subsidiary has terminated for any reason other than those expressly outlined herein. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, in the event that your service terminates because your status changes from Employee or Consultant to Consultant, Employee or Outside Director of the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, such change in status will not be treated as a termination of service for purposes of this Agreement.

b.Regular Termination. If your service as an Employee or Consultant of the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than due to your death or Disability, this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date that is the 

earlier of the regular expiration date of the Option or nine months after your termination date; provided, however, that if such termination is a termination without Cause (as defined in your Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Company dated June 8, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”)) or a resignation by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), in each case, In Connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then this Option will instead expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date that is the earlier of the regular expiration date of the Option or 12 months after your termination date. The Company determines when your service terminates for this purpose.
c.Termination Due to Death.

(ii)For purposes of this Option, your service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the Company approved your leave in writing and if continued crediting of service is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law.
(iii)Unless you immediately return to active work when the approved leave ends, your service will terminate.
SECTION 4.EXERCISE.
a.Restrictions on Exercise. The Company will not permit you to exercise this Option if the issuance of shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.
b.Notice of Exercise. When you wish to exercise this Option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form. Your Notice of Exercise must specify how many Common Shares you wish to purchase pursuant to the Option. The exercise of the Option will be effective when the Company receives the Notice of Exercise with payment of the Exercise Price. If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

c.Method of Exercise and Payment. When you submit your Notice of Exercise, you must include payment of the Exercise Price for the Common Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one (or a combination of two or more) of the following forms:
(i)your personal check, a cashier’s check or a money order;
(ii)certificates for Common Shares that you already own, along with any forms needed to effect a transfer of those Common Shares to the Company. The value of the Common Shares, determined as of the effective date of the Option exercise, will be applied to the Exercise Price; provided, however, you may not surrender Common Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if your action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to this Option for financial reporting purposes; or
(iii)by net exercise or broker’s cashless exercise procedure, or any other procedures approved by the Committee from time to time.
d.Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding (For Employees Only). Whenever Common Shares are to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any portion of the Option, the Company or an Affiliate thereof shall, in accordance with Article 15 of the Plan, have the power to withhold, or to require you to remit to the Company or such Affiliate thereof, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the Company or such Affiliate thereof may defer issuance of the Common Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. You will be entitled to satisfy the amount of any such required withholding by having the Company withhold from the Common Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option a number of Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholdings.
e.Delivery of Common Shares Upon Exercise. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Notice of Exercise and payment in full of the Exercise Price and any applicable taxes and withholdings with respect to any exercisable portion of the Option, but subject to the transfer restrictions set forth herein, the Company will deliver to you (or such other person or entity entitled to exercise this Option) a certificate, certificates or electronic book-entry notation representing the Common Shares acquired upon the exercise thereof, registered in your name (or such other person or entity); provided, that, if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that, under applicable securities laws, any certificates issued hereunder must bear a legend restricting the transfer of such Common Shares, such certificates shall bear the appropriate legend.
SECTION 5.RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE.
By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell any Common Shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as you are in service with the Company or a Subsidiary (whether as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director).
3

SECTION 6.TRANSFER OF OPTION.
Prior to your death, only you may exercise this Option. You cannot transfer or assign this Option. For instance, you may not sell this Option or use it as security for a loan. You may, however, dispose of this Option in your will, by the laws of descent and distribution or through a beneficiary designation. Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a Notice of Exercise from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your Option in any other way.
SECTION 7.MISCELLANEOUS.
a.No Retention Rights. Neither this Option nor this Agreement gives you the right to be employed or otherwise retained by the Company or a Subsidiary in any capacity. The Company or a Subsidiary reserves the right to terminate your service at any time and for any reason or no reason, with or without Cause.
b.No Stockholder Rights. You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this Option by giving the required Notice of Exercise to the Company and paying the Exercise Price and any applicable taxes and withholdings.
c.No Guarantee of Future Awards. This Agreement does not guarantee you the right to or expectation of future Awards under the Plan or any future plan adopted by the Company.

e.Entire Agreement. The Notice, this Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this Option are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only as provided in the Plan.
f.Restatement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.6 in the event that the Company issues a restatement of its audited financial statements (a “Restatement”) after any portion of this Option has vested. If any portion of this Option vests and within three years thereafter the Company issues a Restatement, and the Committee determines in its good faith discretion, based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Restatement, that there is a reasonable likelihood that the applicable stock price threshold would not have occurred if the results reported in the Restatement had been reported initially, then the corresponding portions of this Option shall be deemed not to have vested. If any portion of this Option is deemed not to have vested pursuant to the foregoing sentence (an “Unearned Grant”) and any portion of the Unearned Grant has been exercised for Common Shares, then you shall either (x) promptly return the Common Shares received upon exercise of the Unearned Grant to the Company or (y) if you have sold such Common Shares, pay to the Company within one year from the date of the corresponding Restatement an amount equal to the proceeds you received from any sale of such 
4

Common Shares not returned by you pursuant to the foregoing clause (x). For the avoidance of doubt, if any portion of this Option is deemed not to have vested as a result of a Restatement in accordance with this Section 7.6, such unvested portion will remain eligible for vesting on the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the remainder of the vesting periods set forth herein. In addition to the foregoing, your compensation and equity awards shall remain subject to any applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 302 of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the United States Dodd-Frank Act) or regulation in effect from time to time.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and representations herein set forth, the Company and Executive agree as follows:
SECTION 1.GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK.
a.Precedence of Plan. This Agreement is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Heska Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as now or hereinafter in effect. Any capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement without being defined and that are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
b.Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby grants to Executive an aggregate of 180,000 Restricted Shares (the “Shares”), subject to vesting as provided in Section 2, which will only be earned upon achievement of the “maximum” levels of each performance metric. If only “target” levels of each performance metric are achieved, only 60,000 will be earned. 
SECTION 2.UNVESTED SHARES SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE.
a.Shares Subject to Forfeiture. The Shares are subject to vesting requirements.
a.    The Shares will vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule attached as Attachment 1.
b.    In the event of a Change in Control prior to the vesting of all Shares, subject to Executive’s continuous employment through the date of such Change in Control, the Shares shall vest as follows: (i) the “target” level of each performance metric set forth in the Vesting Schedule will be deemed to be achieved, (ii) if actual performance measured as of the date of such Change in Control is in excess of the “target” level but less than the “maximum” level with respect to a particular performance metric, a number of Shares determined by applying linear interpolation between the “target” level and the “maximum” level of such performance metric will become vested, and (iii) if actual performance measured as of the date of such Change in Control is equal to or greater than the “maximum” level with respect to a particular performance metric, all Shares subject to such performance metric will become vested.  In addition, in the event actual performance measured as of the date of such Change in Control is less than the “maximum” level with respect to a particular performance metric, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, to provide for further acceleration.  For purposes of this Section 2.1(b), if complete fiscal year data is not available as of the date of such Change in 
104613083.5

Control, the Committee will determine performance through the date of such Change in Control based on the partial fiscal year results notwithstanding the measurement on each Reporting Date in the Vesting Schedule attached as Attachment 1.
c.    In the event that Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated following the Grant Date because of either (i) Executive’s death, (ii) Executive’s Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company without Cause (as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Executive dated June 8, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”), or (iv) a termination by Executive for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the performance metrics set forth in the Vesting Schedule will be measured as of the date of such termination using linear interpolation between each level of each performance metric (threshold, low target, target and maximum) to determine the Shares, if any, that vest as of the date of such termination.  For purposes of this Section 2.1(c), if complete fiscal year data is not available as of the date of such termination, the Committee will determine performance through the date of such termination based on the partial fiscal year results notwithstanding the measurement on each Reporting Date in the Vesting Schedule attached as Attachment 1.

SECTION 3.DELIVERY OF COMMON SHARES.
Subject to satisfaction of any tax withholding obligation described in Section 5 below, Shares that are no longer subject to forfeiture will be transferred and delivered to the Executive as soon as administratively practicable after the date on which they vest in accordance with Section 2.1.

SECTION 4.STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.
a.Stock Register and Certificates. The Shares will be recorded in the stock register of the Company in the name of Executive. The Shares will be evidenced by one or more stock certificates (which shall remain in the custody of the Company) or will be credited to an electronic book-entry account maintained by the Company on behalf of Executive, and such certificate(s) or book entry (as applicable) will appropriately record the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Shares. To the extent certificates are issued with respect to the Shares, the Company will retain physical possession of such certificates, and Executive shall deposit with the Company a Stock Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Attachment 2, endorsed in blank, so as to permit retransfer to the Company of all or a 
8

portion of the Shares that are forfeited or otherwise do not become vested in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement.
b.Exercise of Stockholder Rights. Executive shall have the right to vote the Shares (to the extent of the voting rights of said Shares, if any) and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Shares with respect to such Shares, except as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.
c.Dividends and Distributions. Executive will be entitled to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and such other distributions, as the Board may, in its discretion, designate, pay or distribute on such Shares, if and when any such dividends or distributions are payable on Common Shares to shareholders of record after the Grant Date (unless and until the Shares are forfeited). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such dividends or distributions declared shall be accumulated and paid at the time (and to the extent) that the Shares vest (or forfeited at the time that the Shares are forfeited), but in no event later than two-and-a-half months following the end of the calendar year in which the vesting occurs.

b.Withholding. In accordance with Article 15 of the Plan, Executive agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan under applicable federal, state, local or foreign law.

SECTION 6.MISCELLANEOUS.

c.Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be amended only as provided in the Plan.
e.No Guarantee of Future Awards. This Agreement does not guarantee Executive the right to or expectation of future Awards under the Plan or any future plan adopted by the Company.
f.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
g.Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two counterparts, each of which will be an original, but both of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings contained herein, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
TERMS
1.Effective Date, This Agreement shall become effective on the eighth day after Employee signs this Agreement (the “Effective Date”), so long as Employee does not revoke this Agreement as provided below.
