<B><U>Restrictive Covenants</U>.</B> Executive understands and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are material to the Company and
that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement without these promises from Executive. It is expressly understood and agreed
that the Company and Executive consider the Restrictive Covenants to be reasonable and necessary for the purposes of preserving and protecting
the Confidential Information and Company Relationships and may be enforced by the Company to the fullest extent allowed by law. Executive
understands that the Restrictive Covenants may limit Executive&rsquo;s ability to engage in a business similar to or competitive with
the Company and/or any other members of the Company Group, but acknowledges that he has or will receive sufficient monetary and other
consideration from the Company under this Agreement to justify such restriction. Executive further acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions
and obligations do not prevent him from earning a living with the skills and experiences he currently possesses. Executive acknowledges
that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any material breach of this Agreement, including the Restrictive Covenants, by
Executive and as such, the Company shall be entitled to enforce the Restrictive Covenants by injunctive relief in addition to all remedies
available at law or in equity. Executive expressly acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants constitute a reasonable restraint as to
time and activities involved. In consideration to the Company, without which the Company would not have entered into this Agreement,
Executive hereby expressly waives, and agrees not to assert, any challenge to any Restrictive Covenant premised upon insufficiency of
consideration, overbreadth or unreasonableness, and Executive further agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless, the Company Group and each
of them, in conjunction with any such assertion.</FONT></P>

<B><U>Restrictive Covenants</U>.</B> Executive understands and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are material to the Company and
that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement without these promises from Executive. It is expressly understood and agreed
that the Company and Executive consider the Restrictive Covenants to be reasonable and necessary for the purposes of preserving and protecting
the Confidential Information and Company Relationships and may be enforced by the Company to the fullest extent allowed by law. Executive
understands that the Restrictive Covenants may limit Executive&rsquo;s ability to engage in a business similar to or competitive with
the Company and/or any other members of the Company Group, but acknowledges that he has or will receive sufficient monetary and other
consideration from the Company under this Agreement to justify such restriction. Executive further acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions
and obligations do not prevent him from earning a living with the skills and experiences he currently possesses. Executive acknowledges
that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any material breach of this Agreement, including the Restrictive Covenants, by
Executive and as such, the Company shall be entitled to enforce the Restrictive Covenants by injunctive relief in addition to all remedies
available at law or in equity. Executive expressly acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants constitute a reasonable restraint as to
time and activities involved. In consideration to the Company, without which the Company would not have entered into this Agreement,
Executive hereby expressly waives, and agrees not to assert, any challenge to any Restrictive Covenant premised upon insufficiency of
consideration, overbreadth or unreasonableness, and Executive further agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless, the Company Group and each
of them, in conjunction with any such assertion.</FONT></P>
