EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT
THIS
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated May 22, 2026 (the “Effective Date”),
is entered into by and between Sharps Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) and Arthur Levine (the “Executive”).
WHEREAS,
the Company desires to employ the Executive and the Company and the Executive desire to enter into an agreement embodying the terms of
such employment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Employment Period. The Company shall employ the Executive pursuant to this Agreement for a term (the “Employment Period”)
commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on the third anniversary thereof unless the parties agree in writing at least 90 days prior
to the expiration date to extend the term of the Agreement for an additional one-year period (each, a “Renewal”).
The parties may agree to as many Renewals as mutually desired. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, all terminations
of employment by the Executive are subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof. Effective as of the Effective Date, any previous agreements
are hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement.
2.
Terms of Employment.
a.
Position and Duties.
i.
Role and Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer
and shall perform such employment duties as are usual and customary for such position. The Executive shall report directly to the Principal
Executive Officer. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Executive shall have primary responsibility for the Company’s accounting
functions, SEC reporting and compliance, financial planning and analysis, budgeting and forecasting, treasury and banking operations,
tax matters, and insurance and risk management activities. The Executive shall also provide secondary oversight with respect to the Company’s
human resources functions and information technology business relationships. In addition, the Executive shall participate with senior
management in matters relating to investor relations, public relations, fundraising activities, strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions,
legal coordination, and Board of Directors relations. The Executive shall perform such other duties and responsibilities as may reasonably
be assigned by the Principal Executive Officer or the Board from time to time consistent with the Executive’s position as Chief
Financial Officer. At the Company’s request, the Executive shall serve the Company and/or its subsidiaries and Affiliates in other
capacities in addition to the foregoing, consistent with the Executive’s position hereunder. In the event that the Executive, during
the Employment Period, serves in any one or more such additional capacities, the Executive’s compensation shall not be increased
beyond that specified in Section 2(b) hereof. In addition, in the event the Executive’s service in one or more of such additional
capacities is terminated, the Executive’s compensation, as specified in Section 2(b) hereof, shall not be diminished or reduced
in any manner as a result of such termination provided that the Executive otherwise remains employed under the terms of this Agreement.
ii.
Exclusivity. During the Employment Period, the Executive agrees to devote the Executive’s full business time and attention
to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Employment Period, it shall not be a violation
of the Agreement for the Executive to: (A) serve on boards, committees or similar bodies of charitable or nonprofit organizations, (B)
fulfill limited teaching, speaking and writing engagements, and (C) manage the Executive’s personal investments, in each case,
so long as such activities do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere or conflict with the performance of the Executive’s
duties and responsibilities under the Agreement; provided, that with respect to the activities in subclauses (A) and/or (B), the Executive
receives prior written approval from the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Executive may continue to fulfill
any existing obligations and commitments in effect as of the Effective Date that have been disclosed to the Board, and such continued
fulfillment shall not constitute a violation of this Agreement; provided that the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Board, enter into or assume any new obligations or commitments of the type described in clauses (A) or (B) during the Employment
Period.
iii.
Principal Location. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall perform the services required by the Agreement from such
location or locations as the Executive may determine, upon providing a reasonable prior notice to the Company, provided, however, that
the parties acknowledge and agree that the Executive may be required to travel to other locations as may be necessary to fulfill the
Executive’s duties and responsibilities.
b.
Compensation, Benefits, Etc.
i.
Base Salary. Effective as of the Effective Date and during the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive a base salary (the
“Base Salary”) of $400,000 per annum. The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practices for executive salaries generally, but no less often than monthly and shall be pro-rated for partial years of
employment. The Base Salary may be increased in the discretion of the Board or a subcommittee thereof, but not reduced, and the term
“Base Salary” as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to the Base Salary as so increased. The Board (or a subcommittee
thereof) shall annually review the Base Salary, and such review shall consider the Company’s market capitalization growth since
the prior review.
ii.
Annual Cash Bonus. For each calendar year ending during the Employment Period beginning with calendar year 2026, the Executive
shall be eligible to earn an annual cash performance bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of up to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s
Base Salary. The actual amount of any Annual Bonus shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board based upon the achievement
of specific quantifiable performance metrics mutually agreed upon by the Executive, the Principal Executive Officer, and the Compensation
Committee of the Board. Such performance metrics may include, without limitation, objectives relating to SEC reporting and compliance,
financing activities, operational execution, budgeting and forecasting, strategic initiatives, internal controls, treasury management,
capital markets activities, and other corporate performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee. The payment of any
Annual Bonus, to the extent earned, shall be made on the date on which annual bonuses are paid generally to the Company’s senior
executives, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Annual Bonus was earned.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 4, payment of the Annual Bonus shall be subject to the Executive’s continued employment
through the applicable payment date.
iii.
Equity Grants. The Executive shall be eligible to receive an initial equity-based compensation award as soon as practicable after
the Effective Date, and additional awards thereafter from time to time. The Board (or a subcommittee thereof) shall determine in its
sole discretion the grant timing, amount, form(s), mix, and such other terms and conditions (including vesting, exercise, and settlement)
applicable to any equity-based compensation award, taking into account the Executive’s and the Company’s performance. Any
such award shall be evidenced by a separate award agreement in a form prescribed by the Company, to be entered into by the Company and
the Executive.
iv.
Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive (and the Executive’s spouse and/or eligible dependents to the extent
provided in the applicable plans and programs) shall be eligible to participate in and be covered under the health and welfare benefit
plans and programs maintained by the Company for the benefit of its employees from time to time in the Executive’s jurisdiction,
pursuant to the terms of such plans and programs including any medical, life, hospitalization, dental, disability, accidental death and
dismemberment and travel accident insurance plans and programs on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to similarly situated
senior executives. In addition, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in any retirement, savings
and other employee benefit plans and programs maintained from time to time by the Company for the benefit of its senior executive officers.
Nothing contained in this Section 2(b)(iv) shall create or be deemed to create any obligation on the part of the Company to adopt or
maintain any health, welfare, retirement or other benefit plan or program at any time or to create any limitation on the Company’s
ability to modify or terminate any such plan or program.
v.
Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business
expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement in accordance
with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company.
vi.
Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive such fringe benefits and perquisites
as are provided by the Company to its employees from time to time, in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company,
and shall receive such additional fringe benefits and perquisites as the Company may, in its discretion, from time-to-time provide to
its senior executive officers.
vii.
Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to five (5) weeks per annum paid vacation in accordance
with the plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company applicable to its employees, as in effect from time to time. No unused
vacation may be carried forward to a future year.
3.
Termination of Employment.
a.
Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the
Employment Period. Either the Company or the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment in the event of the Executive’s
Disability during the Employment Period.
b.
Termination by the Company. The Company may only terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause.
c.
Termination by the Executive. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for any or no reason, including
with Good Reason or by the Executive without Good Reason.
d.
Termination at End of Employment Period. If the Employment Period is not extended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Employment Period.
e.
Notice of Termination. Any termination of employment other than due to the Executive’s death, shall be communicated by a
Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 12(b) hereof at least thirty (60) days prior to the
Date of Termination. However, if such termination is a Qualifying Termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Severance.
The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a
showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive
or the Company respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights
hereunder.
f.
Termination of Offices and Directorships; Return of Property. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason,
unless otherwise specified in a written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned
from all offices, directorships, and other employment positions if any, then held with the Company, and shall take all actions reasonably
requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing. In addition, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason,
the Executive agrees to return to the Company all documents of the Company and its Affiliates (and all copies thereof) and all other
Company or Company Affiliate property that the Executive has in Executive’s possession, custody or control. Such property includes,
without limitation: (i) any materials of any kind that the Executive knows contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information
of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (and all reproductions thereof), (ii) computers (including, but not limited to, laptop
computers, desktop computers and similar devices) and other portable electronic devices (including, but not limited to, tablet computers),
cellular phones/smartphones, credit cards, phone cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys, and (iii) any correspondence, drawings,
manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the customers,
business plans, marketing strategies, products and/or processes of the Company or any of its Affiliates and any information received
from the Company or any of its Affiliates regarding third parties.
4.
Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.
a.
Accrued Obligations. In the event that the Executive’s employment under this Agreement terminates during the Employment
Period for any reason, the Company will pay or provide to the Executive: (i) any earned but unpaid Base Salary and accrued vacation time,
(ii) reimbursement of any business expenses incurred by the Executive prior to the Date of Termination that are reimbursable in accordance
with Section 2(b)(v) hereof, (iii) payment of any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for any calendar year completed prior to the Date of
Termination and (iv) any vested amounts due to the Executive under any plan, program or policy of the Company (together, the “Accrued
Obligations”); provided however, that if the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated (X) by the Company for
Cause or (Y) by the Executive voluntarily without Good Reason and not for death or Disability, then any Annual Bonus earned pursuant
to Section 2(b)(ii) in respect of a prior calendar year, but not yet paid, shall be forfeited. The Accrued Obligations described in clauses
(i) – (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid within 30 days after the Date of Termination (or such earlier date as may be
required by applicable law), the Accrued Obligations described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid in the ordinary
course pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) (i.e., on the date on which annual bonuses are paid to the Company’s senior executives generally
for such calendar year) and the Accrued Obligations described in clause (iv) of the preceding sentence shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of the governing plan or program.
b.
Qualifying Termination – Not a Change in Control. Subject to Sections 4(d), 12(c) and 12(e), and the Executive’s continued
compliance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated during the Employment
Period due to a Qualifying Termination that does not occur in connection with a Change in Control and during the Protection Period, then
in addition to the Accrued Obligations, the Company shall (i) pay the Executive an amount equal to one (1) times the Executive’s
Base Salary, as in effect on the Date of Termination and (ii) accelerate and vest each outstanding Company equity award held by the Executive
as of the Date of Termination, to the extent then unvested (the “Non-CIC Severance”). The Non-CIC Severance
shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Release Effective Date, but no later than 74 days after the Date of
Termination. The equity acceleration component of the Non-CIC Severance shall only become effective on the Release Effective Date.
c.
Qualifying Termination – Change in Control. Subject to Sections 4(d), 12(c) and 12(e), and the Executive’s continued
compliance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated during the Employment
Period due to a Qualifying Termination that is in connection with a Change in Control and occurs during the Protection Period, then in
addition to the Accrued Obligations, the Company shall (i) pay the Executive an amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s
Base Salary, as in effect on the Date of Termination, and (ii) accelerate and vest each outstanding Company equity award held by the
Executive as of the Date of Termination, to the extent then unvested (the “CIC Severance”). To the extent payable
in cash, the CIC Severance shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Release Effective Date, but no later than
74 days after the Date of Termination. The equity acceleration component of the CIC Severance shall only become effective on the Release
Effective Date.
d.
Release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition to the Executive’s right to receive the amounts provided
for in Sections 4(b) and (c) hereof that the Executive execute and deliver to the Company an effective release of claims in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) and the Release becomes irrevocable within 30 days (or,
to the extent required by law, 52 days) following the Date of Termination (the date such Release becomes irrevocable herein referred
to as the “Release Effective Date”).
e.
Other Terminations. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason not described in Sections 4(b) or (c) hereof,
the Company will pay the Executive only the Accrued Obligations.
f.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any severance payments
or benefits payable under this Section 4, shall be paid to the Executive during the six-month period following the Executive’s
Separation from Service if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be
a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence,
then on the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Separation from Service (or such earlier date upon which such amount
can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Executive’s death),
the Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Executive
during such period.
g.
Exclusive Benefits. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4 and subject to Section 5 hereof, the Executive shall not be
entitled to any additional payments or benefits upon or in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment.
5.
Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any
plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall
be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.
6.
Excess Parachute Payments; Limitation on Payments.
a.
Best Pay Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be
received by the Executive (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a termination of the Executive’s employment,
whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including
the payments and benefits under Section 4 hereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would
be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”),
then, the Total Payments shall be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise
Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and
local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions
attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction
(but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to
which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized
deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). If the Total Payments are so reduced, the Company
shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments (A) by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Total Payments which are not payable
in cash (other than that portion of the Total Payments subject to clause (C) hereof), (B) then by reducing or eliminating cash payments
(other than that portion of the Total Payments subject to clause (C) hereof) and (C) then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the
Total Payments (whether payable in cash or not payable in cash) to which Treasury Regulation § 1.280G-1 Q/A 24(c) (or successor
thereto) applies, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time.
b.
Certain Exclusions. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise
Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such
manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account; (ii)
no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of an independent, nationally recognized accounting
firm (the “Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company, does not constitute a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the
Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of Independent Advisors, constitutes
reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base
amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash
benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance
with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
7.
Restrictive Covenants.
a.
Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Executive agrees that all materials and items produced or developed by the Executive
for the Company or any of its Affiliates, or obtained by the Executive from the Company or any of its Affiliates either directly or indirectly
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be and remain the property of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive
will, during the Executive’s association with the Company, acquire, or be exposed to, or have access to, materials, data and information
that constitute valuable, confidential and proprietary information of the Company and its Affiliates, including, without limitation,
any or all of the following: business plans, practices and procedures, pricing information, sales figures, profit or loss figures, this
Agreement and its terms, information relating to customers, clients, intellectual property, suppliers, technology, sources of supply
and customer lists, research, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology,
designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, policies, training manuals and similar materials
used by the Company in conducting its business operations, personnel information of any Person employed by the Company, potential business
combinations, and such other information or material as the Company may designate as confidential and/or proprietary from time to time
(collectively hereinafter, the “Confidential and Proprietary Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
“Confidential and Proprietary Information” does not include information that is or becomes publicly available, other than
information made publicly available by the Executive or another person in violation of the Executive’s obligations in this Section
7(a). During the Executive’s employment with the Company and at all times thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly,
use, misuse, misappropriate, disclose or make known, without the prior written approval of the Board, to any party, firm, corporation,
association or other entity any such Confidential and Proprietary Information for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except as may be
required in the course of the Executive’s performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder. In consideration of the unique
nature of the Confidential and Proprietary Information, all obligations pertaining to the confidentiality and nondisclosure thereof shall
remain in effect until the Company and its Affiliates have released such information; provided that the provisions of this Section 7(a)
shall not apply to the disclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information to the Company’s Affiliates together with each of
their respective shareholders, directors, officers, accountants, lawyers and other representatives or agents in furtherance of the Executive’s
duties hereunder, nor to a Permitted Disclosure. In addition, it shall not be a breach of the confidentiality obligations hereof if the
Executive is required by applicable law to disclose any Confidential and Proprietary Information; provided that in such case, the Executive
shall (x) give the Company the earliest notice possible that such disclosure is or may be required and (y) cooperate with the Company,
at the Company’s expense, in protecting to the maximum extent legally permitted, the confidential or proprietary nature of the
Confidential and Proprietary Information which must be so disclosed. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive
agrees that all Confidential and Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, in the Executive’s possession that is in writing
or other tangible form (together with all duplicates thereof) will promptly (and in any event within 10 days following such termination)
be returned to the Company and will not be retained by the Executive or furnished to any person, either by sample, facsimile, film, audio
or video cassette, electronic data, verbal communication or any other means of communication.
b.

Company: (1) directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, induce or encourage to leave employment or association with the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, or to become employed by, become associated with or consult for, any Person other than the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or hire, attempt to hire, employ or engage (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise),
any Person who or which is or was employed or engaged by the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the Restricted Period
or the one-year period preceding the Restricted Period, or (2) directly or indirectly solicit or accept business for a Competitive Activity

defamatory comments concerning the Company, any of its Affiliates, or any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ respective
businesses, products or services, or their respective current or former directors, officers, agents, partners, shareholders or employees,
either publicly or privately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any truthful statement made to comply with law or regulation or in any response
to questions or other requests for information by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body with apparent
jurisdiction over the applicable parties shall be deemed not to violate the obligations of the Company under this provision. Nothing
in this Section 7(d) shall interfere with the Executive’s ability to make the Permitted Disclosures.
e.
Inventions.
i.
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work products, and developments,
whether patentable or unpatentable, (x) that relate to the Executive’s work with the Company, made or conceived by the Executive,
solely or jointly with others, prior to or during the Employment Period, or (y) suggested by any work that the Executive performs in
connection with the Company, either while performing the Executive’s duties with the Company or on the Executive’s own time,
but only insofar as such ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work products, and developments are related to the Executive’s
work as an employee or other service provider to the Company (the “Inventions”), shall belong exclusively to
the Company (or its designee), whether or not patent applications are filed thereon. The Executive will keep full and complete written
records (the “Records”), in the manner prescribed by the Company of all Inventions and will promptly disclose
all Inventions completely and in writing to the Company. The Records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and the
Executive will surrender them upon the termination of the Employment Period, or upon the Company’s request. The Executive hereby
assigns to the Company the Inventions and all patents that may be issued thereon in any and all countries, whether prior to, during or
subsequent to the Employment Period, together with the right to file, in the Executive’s name or in the name of the Company (or
its designee), applications for patents and equivalent rights (the “Applications”). The Executive will, at
any time during and subsequent to the Employment Period, make such applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths, and perform
all acts as may be requested from time to time by the Company with respect to the Inventions. The Executive will also execute assignments
to the Company (or its designee), of the Applications, and give the Company and its attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the
giving of testimony) to obtain the Inventions for its benefit, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company
but entirely at the Company’s expense.
ii.
In addition, the Inventions will be deemed Work for Hire, as such term is defined under the copyright law of the United States, on behalf
of the Company and the Executive agrees that the Company will be the sole owner of the Inventions, and all underlying rights therein,
in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, without any further obligations to the Executive.
If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be Work for Hire, the Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and
assigns to the Company all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to
the Inventions, including, without limitation, all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all renewals,
revivals and extensions thereof) to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter
recognized, including, without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations and revisions to the Inventions,
to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any infringement or other unauthorized
use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, known or unknown, prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, the right
to receive all proceeds and damages therefrom. In addition, the Executive hereby waives any so-called “moral rights” with
respect to the Inventions. The Executive hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions
and all patents that may be issued thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would otherwise accrue to the Executive’s
benefit by virtue of the Executive being an employee of or other service provider to the Company.
iii.
Subject to Sections 7(a) and (c), nothing in this Section 7(e) will restrict the Executive from the use of concepts, ideas or methods
that are generally known by others in the industry, nor shall the Executive be restricted from using the general know-how or experience
obtained during employment with the Company.
f.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit either party (or either
party’s attorney(s)) from (i) filing a charge with, reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to, participating
in any investigation by, or cooperating with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the
U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice or any other securities regulatory agency, self-regulatory
authority or federal, state or local regulatory authority (collectively, “Government Agencies”), or making
other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law or regulation, (ii) communicating directly
with, cooperating with, or providing information (including trade secrets) in confidence to any Government Agencies for the purpose of
reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or from providing such information to such party’s attorney(s) or in a
sealed complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other governmental proceeding, and/or (iii) receiving an award for information
provided to any Government Agency. Pursuant to 18 USC Section 1833(b), (1) the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable
under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (x) in confidence to a federal, state,
or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating
a suspected violation of law; or (y) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made
under seal and (2) the Executive acknowledges that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected
violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding,
if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to
court order. All disclosures permitted under this Section 7(f) are herein referred to as “Permitted Disclosures.”
Further, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall preclude either party from providing truthful testimony in response to a valid
subpoena, court order, regulatory request or other judicial, administrative or legal process or otherwise as required by law.

other taxable year, and the Executive’s right to such payments or reimbursement of any such expenses shall not be subject to liquidation
or exchange for any other benefit.

as the Company determines in its good faith discretion to be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive
to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right
or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and replaces and supersedes any and all other agreements, offers
or promises, whether oral or written, by any member of the Company and its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or representative thereof. Notwithstanding

occurring during the Executive’s employment hereunder, and assist and advise the Company in any investigation which may be performed
by the Company, provided that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the Executive’s reasonable costs and expenses and such
cooperation shall not unreasonably burden the Executive or unreasonably interfere with any subsequent employment that the Executive may
undertake. In the event the Executive is subpoenaed by any person or entity (including, but not limited to, any Government Agency) to
give testimony or provide documents (in a deposition, court proceeding, or otherwise), that in any way relates to the Executive’s
employment by the Company, the Executive will give prompt notice of such subpoena to the Company and will make no disclosure until the
Company has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure. Nothing in this
section shall limit the Executive’s right to make Permitted Disclosures.
j.
Amendment; Survival. No amendment or other modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed
by the parties hereto. The respective rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall survive the Executive’s
