3.3    Consultant recognizes that the Company may utilize the consulting services of third parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement requires the Company to solely utilize Consultant to provide consulting services in the Specialty Area.

4.1    The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) days after written notice of termination from either party; or (ii) July 14, 2018. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by either party with or without cause and for any reason.

5.2    During the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse Consultant for reasonable travel expenses incurred at the Company’s request in connection with the performance of the Services; provided, that such expenses are pre-approved by the Company and billed by Consultant as incurred.

6.1    Consultant understands and agrees that in the course of providing the Services hereunder, Consultant may receive or otherwise learn certain items of business, technical, financial or other information owned by or otherwise in the possession of the Company Group ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information may include, by way of example but without limitation, products, specifications, formulae, equipment, business strategies, customer lists, know-how, drawings, pricing information, inventions, ideas, and their potential uses. Consultant agrees to take and maintain proper and appropriate steps to protect Confidential Information. Consultant agrees to disclose Confidential Information only to employees or agents of Consultant who are directly involved with the Services contemplated by this Agreement, and even then only to such extent as is necessary and essential to perform the Services. Consultant agrees to inform such employees and agents of the confidential nature of the information disclosed hereunder and to cause all such employees and agents to abide by the terms of this Agreement. Consultant agrees not to disclose Confidential Information to any unauthorized party without prior express written consent of the Company or unless required by law or court order. If Consultant is required by law or court order

to disclose Confidential Information, Consultant agrees to provide the Company prompt written notice of such requirement so that an appropriate protective order or other relief may be sought. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or impede Consultant from communicating, cooperating or filing a complaint with any U.S. federal, state or local governmental or law enforcement branch, agency or entity (collectively, a “Governmental Entity”) with respect to possible violations of any U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation, or otherwise making disclosures to any Governmental Entity, in each case, that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any such law or regulation, provided that in each case such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. Consultant does not need the prior authorization of (or to give notice to) the Company regarding any such communication or disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance is Consultant authorized to disclose any information covered by the Company Group’s attorney-client privilege or attorney work product or the Company’s trade secrets without prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel.

6.2    Consultant agrees to use Confidential Information only in connection with the Services contemplated by this Agreement. Consultant agrees to make no other use of Confidential Information, it being recognized that the Company Group has reserved all rights to Confidential Information not expressly granted herein. All documents containing Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Company Group. Upon the request of the Company, Consultant agrees to destroy any documents prepared by Consultant using Confidential Information or derived therefrom and Consultant agrees to provide confirmation of such destruction in writing. Consultant may, however, keep one copy of any such document in the files of its legal department or outside counsel for record purposes only.

6.3    The obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Section will not apply to any information which:

(a)is in the public domain prior to disclosure by the Company Group to Consultant; or

(b)becomes part of the public domain, by publication or otherwise, through no unauthorized act or omission on the part of Consultant.

If Confidential Information is supplied to Consultant by a third party having a legal right to disclose it then: (a) Consultant will have the right to use that portion of Confidential Information so disclosed in connection with work done for that third party; and (b) such disclosure by that third party, if made in confidence, will not place that portion of Confidential Information in the public domain, and will not relieve Consultant of Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. It will be Consultant’s burden to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, any of the exceptions above.

6.4    The obligations imposed by this Section, including but not limited to non-disclosure and non-use, however, shall endure so long as Confidential Information does not become part of the public domain.

7.1    Consultant shall not be an employee of the Company or any other member of the Company Group and shall not be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans or other benefits or conditions of employment available to the employees of the Company or any other member of the Company Group. Consultant shall have no authority to act as an agent of the Company or any other member of the Company Group, except on authority specifically so delegated,

and he shall not represent to the contrary to any person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever. Consultant shall only consult, render advice and perform such tasks as Consultant determines are necessary to achieve the results specified by the Company. Consultant shall not direct the work of any employee of the Company Group, or make any management decisions, or undertake to commit the Company or any other member of the Company Group to any course of action in relation to third persons. Although the Company or any other member of the Company Group may specify the results to be achieved by Consultant with respect to the Services hereunder and may control and direct him in that regard, the Company or any member of the Company Group, as applicable, shall not control or direct Consultant as to the details or means by which such results are accomplished.

7.2    To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Company will not withhold any amounts therefrom as federal income tax withholding from wages or as employee contributions under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or any other state or federal laws. Consultant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any federal, state or local income or self-employment taxes imposed on such fees.

8.1    Consultant agrees to promptly and fully disclose to the Company Group any and all inventions and works of authorship (including improvements, discoveries, ideas, technologies, know-how, work product, concepts, materials, disclosures, documentation), or any other intellectual property rights conceived, developed, originated, fixed, or reduced to practice by Consultant in connection with, or as a result of, the Services performed for the Company Group hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Intellectual Property"). Consultant agrees to treat all such Intellectual Property as if it were Confidential Information.

8.2    Consultant agrees to assign, and hereby assigns, to the Company Group and its successors and assigns, without further consideration, the entire right, title, and interest, or such lesser interest as the Company Group may in any particular case choose to accept, in and to each and all of the Intellectual Property, whether or not patentable or copyrightable. Consultant further agrees to execute all papers necessary to permit the Company Group to secure and enforce rights related to all Intellectual Property including but not limited to applications for patents and/or copyrights and domestic or foreign assignments. If Consultant's testimony is required in any proceeding affecting Intellectual Property, whether before or after termination of this Agreement, Consultant agrees to provide such testimony and the Company agrees to reimburse Consultant, for his/her time, reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

8.3    Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other right to Consultant, by implication or otherwise, with respect to or under any patent, patent application, Confidential Information, or other proprietary right of Company.

8.4    Consultant agrees that (i) the Company Group will own all right, title and interest in and to the results of the Services performed by Consultant hereunder, (ii) Consultant has no right title or interest to such results and (iii) Consultant will not claim any right, title or interest thereto. Such results will be considered “Confidential Information” of the Company Group for purposes of this Agreement.

9.1    Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company Group, its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) to which the Company Group may be subjected as a result of Consultant's: (i) breach of this Agreement; or (ii) performance hereunder in a manner that is negligent, grossly negligent, reckless, or willfully improper.

9.2    Consultant recognizes that Company Group will be irreparably harmed by a violation of Consultant’s confidentiality, non-use or other obligations hereunder. Therefore, in addition to any other available remedies, the Company Group is entitled to an injunction or other decree of specific performance with respect to any violation thereof by Consultant.

This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company Group, its successors, and assigns, and may be assigned by the Company Group to any successor in interest of the Company. This Agreement is personal to Consultant and not assignable by Consultant.

Consultant will not have any right to anticipate, encumber, or dispose of any payment or other rights hereunder, which payments and rights are non-assignable and non-transferable.

    

This Agreement is to be construed, performed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States of America, disregarding its conflicts of law rules. Consultant expressly agrees and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Florida over any such claim, suit, action, or proceeding.

The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon performance of any terms or conditions of this Agreement is not to be construed as a waiver of future performance of any such term, covenant, or condition, but the obligations of either party with respect thereto will continue in full force and effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not supersede any agreement or undertaking by Consultant that arose out of his prior employment by the Company which by its terms expressly survives the termination of consultant’s employment with Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
