Effective
as of June 10, 2024, Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Leah Lunger, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. As described in the Company’s Current Report
on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2024, Ms. Lunger was previously appointed as the Company’s
Interim Chief Financial Officer effective as of March 15, 2024. A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Agreement is
set forth below.
Employment Term.
The term of the Agreement shall continue until June 10, 2026, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the Agreement, and shall be automatically
renewed for successive one year periods thereafter, unless either party elects not to renew the Agreement.
Salary, Bonus and Incentive
Opportunities. Ms. Lunger’s annual salary will be $230,000 and she will be eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to
50% of her annual salary upon the achievement of goals and objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company. Ms. Lunger will be eligible to participate in the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
and will also have the opportunity to receive awards in such amounts and pursuant to such terms as determined by the Company’s Board
of Directors or Compensation Committee.
Initial Equity Grants.
In connection with her appointment, Ms. Lunger will receive a one-time equity award issued under the Plan, consisting of 900,000 restricted
stock units (the “Initial Award”). 150,000 shares of the Initial Award shall be vested upon grant; 64,286
shares of the Initial Award will vest (subject to Ms. Lunger’s continuous employment) on the 10th day following the close of each
of the successive six (6) fiscal quarters; 64,284 shares of the Initial Award will vest (subject to Ms. Lunger’s continuous employment)
on the 10th day following the close of the successive seventh (7th) fiscal quarter; and 300,000 Shares of the Initial
Award will vest (subject to Ms. Lunger’s continuous employment) if and upon the Company’s filing
of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its year ended April 30, 2024, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but only if such
Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed timely for purposes of and as determined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Initial
Award shall fully vest upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) if Ms. Lunger has remained in continuous service with the Company
through the Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control within twelve (12) months following the cessation of Ms. Lunger’s
service to the Company for any reason other than a Cause (as defined in the Agreement) event, the Company shall pay to Ms. Lunger, within
thirty (30) days of such Change in Control, a cash sum equal to the value of the unvested Share Awards (as defined in the Agreement) that
Ms. Lunger would have had as of the consummation of the Change in Control had they been held by Ms. Lunger at the time of the Change in
Control.
Termination of Employment. If
Ms. Lunger’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined
in the Agreement), Ms. Lunger will only be entitled to the Accrued Benefits
(as defined in the Agreement) and all outstanding vested and unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights shall be then forfeited
without consideration. If Ms. Lunger’s employment is terminated by the
Company without Cause or by Ms. Lunger for Good Reason (as defined in the Agreement)
the Company shall pay or provide to Ms. Lunger the Accrued Benefits and Separation
Benefits (each as defined in the Agreement) provided, that Ms. Lunger executes
a separation and release agreement prescribed by the Company and Ms. Lunger complies
with her other obligations under this Agreement, the separation agreement, and all other obligations owed to the Company.

Exhibit 10.1
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 10, 2024, by and between Red Cat Holdings, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (“Company”), and Leah Lunger, an individual (“Executive”). As used herein, the “Effective
Date” of this Agreement shall mean June 10, 2024.
W I T N E S S
E T H:
WHEREAS,
the Executive desires to be employed by the Company as Chief Financial Officer (a role in which Executive has been serving in Interim
capacity since March 15, 2024) and the Company wishes to continue to employ the Executive in such capacity; and
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and their respective covenants and agreements contained in this document the Company
and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
1.
Employment and Duties. The Company agrees to continue to employ, and the Executive agrees to serve as the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer. The duties and responsibilities of the Executive shall include the duties and responsibilities as the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer or Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) may from time to time assign to the Executive
reasonably commensurate with those duties and responsibilities normally associated with and appropriate for someone in the position of
Chief Financial Officer. As used herein, “Board” and “Compensation Committee” shall mean, respectively, the Board
of Directors and Compensation Committee of the Board.
The
Executive shall devote all of Executive’s business time and best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties under this
Agreement and shall be subject to, and shall comply with the written Company policies, practices and procedures and all codes of ethics
or business conduct applicable to Executive’s position, as in effect from time to time to the extent provided or made available
to Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be eligible to (i) serve as a member of the board of directors of not
more than two companies, subject to the advance written approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed; (ii) serve on civic, charitable, educational, religious, public interest or public service boards, subject to the advance
written approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) manage the Executive’s personal and
family investments, in each case, to the extent such activities do not materially interfere, as determined by the Board in good faith,
with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.
2.
Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of two (2) years following
the Effective Date (unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 11) and shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1)
year periods thereafter unless either party provides the other party with written notice of their intention not to renew this Agreement
at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement. “Employment Period”
shall mean the initial two (2) year term plus renewals, if any.
3.
Place of Employment. The Executive’s services shall be primarily performed at the Company’s offices at 4850
Tamiami Trail N Ste 301, Naples, FL 34103, or such other location(s) as mutually agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Executive.
| 4. | Base Salary. The Company agrees to pay the Executive a base salary (“Base
Salary”) equal to |
$230,000 per annum. The
Base Salary shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s
regular payroll practices. The Base Salary
may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in the Compensation
Committee’s discretion (which may constitute
Good Reason as defined herein).
| 5. | Bonus/Equity Compensation. |
(a)
Bonuses. For each fiscal year, the Executive shall be eligible to earn and receive an annual bonus the (“Annual
Bonus”) of up to 50 percent of the Base Salary, to be paid in cash or stock, as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee will define a set of goals and objectives during the Employment Period as a basis for determining a bonus award(s).
Such goals may be quantitative as well as qualitative in nature and may include without limitation: timely completing annual audits and
filing of Form 10-K; supporting management review of Form 10-Qs; monitoring cash levels and supporting the Company in any litigation.
Subject to cash availability, the earned portion of the Annual Bonus shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 45 days after
the Compensation Committee’s determination of the degree to which the relevant targets have been met, it being understood that the
attainment of any financial targets associated with any bonus shall not be determined until following the completion of the Company’s
annual audit and public announcement of such results. Executive must remain employed with the Company through the date of payment of the
Annual Bonus in order to earn and receive such Annual Bonus.
If
the Compensation Committee is unable to act or if there shall be no such Compensation Committee, then all references herein to the Compensation
Committee shall be deemed to be references to the Board.
(b)
Equity Compensation Awards. Subject to approval of the Compensation Committee, Executive will receive an initial award (the
“Initial Award”) under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (or any successor or replacement plan adopted
by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company) (the “Plan”). Executive will be eligible for future grants
of awards under the Plan as the Compensation Committee or Board may from time to time determine in their discretion (with the Initial
Award, the “Share Awards”). A description of the Initial Award is set forth on Exhibit A annexed hereto with
vesting as set forth therein. Share Awards shall be subject to the applicable Plan terms and conditions, provided, however, that Share
Awards shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions as are provided herein or in any award, Board/Compensation Committee resolution
or certificate(s), which shall supersede any conflicting provisions governing Share Awards provided under the Plan. Executive must timely
execute the applicable Share Award agreement prescribed by the Company as a condition of any such award and such Share Award agreement
shall provide the governing terms and conditions.
| 6. | Post-Employment Compensation. |
(a)
Upon termination of Executive’s employment (“Termination Date”) for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled
to: (A) all unpaid Base Salary earned through the Termination Date to be paid according to Section 4; (B) all accrued but unused vacation
time (if any); (C) reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses that were incurred but unpaid as of the Termination Date as set forth
in Section 8; and (D) all vested benefits and unpaid amounts that were earned pursuant to this Agreement (collectively “Accrued
Benefits”).
(b)
In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason
and subject to the additional provisions of Section 11(d), then in addition to the Accrued Benefits, Executive shall also be eligible
for the following separation benefits (“Separation Benefits”): (i) twelve months of Executive’s then Base Salary (but
no lower than Executive’s Base Salary prior to any reduction that constituted Good Reason) and benefits, (ii) accelerated vesting
of the unvested portion of Executive’s outstanding Share Awards (including without limitation the Initial Award), (iii) the Annual
Bonus for the year in which Executive’s last date of employment occurred (plus any unpaid prior year’s Annual Bonus) paid
as a non-deferred cash payment of 50% of Executive’s then Base Salary (but no lower than Executive’s Base Salary prior to
any reduction that constituted Good Reason); and (iv) continuation of coverage with respect to the Company’s group health plans
as permitted by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for Executive and each of Executive’s
“Qualified Beneficiaries” as defined by COBRA (“COBRA Coverage”). The
Company shall on
a monthly basis reimburse Executive for the amount of any COBRA premium paid for COBRA Coverage timely elected by and for the Executive
and any Qualified Beneficiary of the Executive, and not otherwise reimbursed, during the period that ends on the earliest of (x) the date
the Executive or the Qualified Beneficiary, as the case may be, ceases to be eligible for COBRA Coverage, (y) the last day of the consecutive
6 month period following the Termination Date and (z) the date the Executive or the Qualified Beneficiary, as the case may be, is covered
by another group health plan. In order for the Company to reimburse any COBRA premium payment under this paragraph, the Company must receive
documentation from Executive of the COBRA premium payment paid by Executive within forty-five (45) days of its payment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that its payment of the premiums on Executive’s behalf would result
in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 105(h)(2) or any statute or regulation of similar effect
(including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act), then the Company shall instead each month provide Executive with a taxable payment equal to the amount of the Company’s portion
of the premiums which Executive may, but is not required to, use towards the cost of COBRA Coverage.
7.
Clawback Policy. The Annual Bonus, Share Awards, and any and all other stock based, or incentive compensation (collectively,
the “Clawback Benefits”) shall be subject to the Company’s “Clawback Policy” in Exhibit B
as such policy may be amended or replaced by the Company. The parties acknowledge it is their intention and understanding that the Clawback
Policy is intended to conform in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and related regulations of the SEC and stock exchange upon which the Company’s
securities are traded which, among other things, require recovery of all “incentive-based” compensation, pursuant to the provisions
of the Dodd-Frank Act. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended from time to time
to assure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act and such rules and regulations as in effect on the Effective Date and which may be amended
from time to time. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason.
8.
Business Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for all reasonable ordinary and necessary
travel, entertainment, and other business expenses incurred by the Executive while employed by the Company (in accordance with the policies
and procedures established by the Company for its senior executive officers) in the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement; provided, that the Executive shall properly account for such business expenses in accordance with Company policies
and procedures. Reimbursement of approved business expenses shall be paid out even after the Termination Date, so long as the expenses
were incurred during Executive’s employment with the Company.
9.
Other Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in incentive, stock purchase,
savings, retirement (401(k)), and welfare benefit plans, including, without limitation, health, medical, dental, vision, life (including
accidental death and dismemberment) and disability insurance plans (collectively, “Benefit Plans”), in substantially
the same manner and at substantially the same levels as the Company makes such opportunities available to the Company’s managerial
or salaried executive employees and/or its senior executive officers.
10.
Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to take paid vacation at such times as are acceptable
to the Company in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy and no more than ten (10) consecutive days shall be taken at any
one time without Company Chief Executive Officer written approval in advance. The Company may in its discretion modify (or eliminate)
these vacation provisions in accordance with its vacation policy for salaried employees.
| 11. | Termination of Employment. |
(a)
Death. If the Executive dies during the Employment Period, this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the
Company shall automatically terminate and the Company’s obligations to the Executive’s estate and to the Executive’s
Qualified Beneficiaries shall be limited to the Accrued Benefits.
(b)
Disability. In the event that, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be prevented from performing Executive’s
essential functions hereunder to the full extent required by the Company by reason of Disability (as defined below), this Agreement and
the Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate. The Company’s obligation to the Executive and to
the Executive’s Qualified Beneficiaries under such circumstances shall be limited to the Accrued Benefits. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental disability that prevents the performance by the Executive,
with or without reasonable accommodation, of essential functions hereunder for an aggregate of ninety (90) days or longer during any twelve
(12) consecutive months. The determination of the Executive’s Disability shall be made by an independent physician who is reasonably
acceptable to the Company and the Executive (or Executive’s representative), be final and binding on the parties hereto and be made
taking into account such competent medical evidence as shall be presented to such independent physician by the Executive and/or the Company
or by any physician or group of physicians or other competent medical experts employed by the Executive and/or the Company to advise such
independent physician.
(1)
At any time during the Employment Period, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment hereunder
for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (a) Executive’s willful failure or gross misconduct in
performing Executive’s material duties and responsibilities for the Company or following the lawful instructions of the person or
body to which Executive reports (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s death or Disability) after a written
notice by the Board is delivered to the Executive, which notice identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has
violated this clause (a) and such violation is not fully cured by the Executive within fifteen (15) business days following Executive’s
receipt of such written notice; (b) the conviction of Executive of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or crime involving
fraud or moral turpitude, (c) Executive’s theft, material act of dishonesty or fraud, intentional falsification of any employment
or Company records, or commission of any criminal act which impairs Executive’s ability to perform Executive’s employment
duties for the Company, (d) Executive’s intentional or reckless conduct or gross negligence materially harmful to the Company or
the successor to the Company after a change in control of the Company, including violation of a non-competition or confidentiality agreement;
or (e) a material breach or violation by Executive of this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or of a written Company policy.
Termination under clauses (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this Section 11(c)(1) shall not be subject to cure. The ability for Executive to cure
a violation under clause (a) shall be limited to one time with respect to a violation covering the same or similar facts.
(2)
For purposes of this Section 11(c), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful”
unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission
was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company. Between the time the Executive receives written notice as set forth in subparagraph
(1) clause (a) above, and prior to an actual termination for Cause, the Executive will be entitled to appear (with counsel) before the
full Board to present information regarding Executive’s views on the Cause event. After such hearing before the Board, termination
for Cause must be approved by a majority vote of the full Board (other than the Executive). For terminations pursuant to Sections 11(c)(1)(b),
(c), (d), or (e), the Board may suspend the Executive with full pay and benefits until a final determination by the full Board has been
made.
(3)
Upon termination of this Agreement and Executive’s employment for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligations or
liability to the Executive or Executive’s heirs, administrators, or executors with respect to
compensation and benefits thereafter, except
for the Accrued Benefits. Additionally, all of Executive’s outstanding
vested and unvested stock options and stock
appreciation rights shall be then forfeited without consideration.
| (d) | For Good Reason or Without Cause. |
(1)
At any time during the Employment Period and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11(d)(2) below, the Company shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause by providing written notice to
the Executive and the Executive may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company for “Good Reason”.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s
consent:
(A) the assignment to
the Executive of duties that are significantly different from, and/or that result in a substantial diminution of, the duties that Executive
assumed on the Effective Date (including reporting to anyone other than solely and directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer);
(B) the assignment to the Executive of a title that is different from and subordinate to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company; (C)
material breach by the Company of this Agreement, or (D) a required relocation of the Executive's primary place of employment (as described
in Section 3) by more than a 50 mile radius.
(2)
The Executive shall not be permitted to terminate employment and this Agreement for Good Reason unless and until the Executive
shall have delivered written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days of the date upon which the facts giving rise to Good Reason
occurred of Executive’s intention to terminate this Agreement and employment with the Company for Good Reason, which notice specifies
in reasonable detail the circumstances claimed to provide the basis for such termination for Good Reason, and the Company shall not have
cured or remedied the circumstances constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of its receipt from the Executive of such written
notice. In the event the Executive elects to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason in accordance with Section 11(d)(1), such election
must be made within the eighty (180) days following the initial existence of one or more of the conditions constituting Good Reason as
provided in Section 11(d)(1).
(3)
In the event that the Executive terminates this Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company for Good Reason or
the Company terminates this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause, the Company shall pay or provide
to the Executive (or, following death, to the Executive’s heirs, administrators or executors) the Section 6(b) benefits provided,
that the Executive executes (within no later than 45 days after the Termination Date) a separation agreement prescribed by the Company
(“Separation Agreement”) which among other things releases the Company and its affiliates from any and all claims,
such release is irrevocable by the time specified in the Separation Agreement, and the Executive complies with Executive’s other
obligations under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, and all other obligations owed to the Company. Subject to the terms hereof
including without limitation that the Separation Agreement has become effective under its own terms, one-half (1/2) of the compensation
of the Separation Benefits payment under Section 6(b)(i) shall be paid within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date (“Initial
Payment”), provided however that if the effectiveness of the Separation Agreement could potentially occur in more than one calendar
year, the Initial Payment shall be made in the later of such two calendar years. The balance of the Separation Benefits under Section
6(b)(i) shall be paid in substantially equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll dates beginning with the first payroll
date coincident with or immediately following the Initial Payment and ending on the payroll date coincident with or immediately following
the date that is six months after the Termination Date. For avoidance of doubt, none of the payments or benefits under Section 6(b)(i)
through (iii) shall be provided unless and until the Separation Agreement has become effective by its own terms.
(4)
The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 11(d) by seeking other employment
or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 11(d) be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive
as the result of employment by another employer or business or by profits earned by the Executive from any other source at any time before
and after the Termination
Date. The Company’s
obligation to make any payment pursuant to, and otherwise to perform its obligations under, this Agreement shall not be affected by any
offset, counterclaim or other right that the Company may have against the Executive for any reason.
(e)
Without “Good Reason” by the Executive. At any time during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled
to terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Good Reason by providing prior written notice
of at least thirty (30) days to the Company. Upon termination by the Executive of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment
with the Company without Good Reason, the Company shall have no further obligations or liability to the Executive or Executive’s
heirs, administrators, or executors except for the Accrued Benefits.
(f)
Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive (other than
termination by reason of the Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.
| 12. | Confidential Information and Company Property. |
(a)
Executive recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that Executive has had and will continue to have access to secret and confidential
information regarding the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses (“Confidential Information”), including
but not limited to, its products, methods, formulas, software code, patents, sources of supply, customer dealings, data, know-how, trade
secrets and business plans, provided such information is not in or does not hereafter become part of the public domain, or become known
to others through no fault of the Executive. The Executive acknowledges that such information is of great value to the Company, is the
sole property of the Company, and has been and will be acquired by Executive in confidence. In consideration of the obligations undertaken
by the Company herein, the Executive will not, at any time, during or after employment hereunder, reveal, divulge, or make known to any
person, any information acquired by the Executive during the course of employment, which is treated as confidential by the Company, and
not otherwise in the public domain. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment
for any reason.
(b)
Executive affirms that Executive does not possess and will not rely upon the protected trade secrets or confidential or proprietary
information of any prior employer(s) in providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries.
(c)
Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall deliver forthwith to the
Company any and all originals and copies, including those in electronic or digital formats, of Confidential Information; provided, however,
the Executive shall be entitled to retain (i) papers and other materials of a personal nature, including, but not limited to, photographs,
correspondence, personal diaries, calendars and rolodexes, personal files and phone books, (ii) information showing compensation or relating
to reimbursement of expenses, (iii) information that Executive reasonably believes may be needed for tax purposes and (iv) copies of plans,
programs and agreements relating to employment, or termination thereof, with the Company.
(d)
Executive is aware that all Company property, including physical property, documents, and Confidential Information that Executive
receives or creates during employment with the Company, belongs to the Company. Executive understands and agrees that Executive has a
duty and a responsibility to return all such property upon the Termination Date. Executive therefore agrees that, pursuant to that duty,
upon the Termination
Date, or at any other time upon the Company’s
request, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all such
property, documents, and Confidential Information.
The
provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with or be exempt from Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A
(“Section 409A”) and the related Treasury Regulations and shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements
for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. The Company and the Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments
to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions necessary, appropriate, or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax under
Section 409A or income recognition prior to actual payment to the Executive under this Agreement.
It
is intended that any business expense reimbursement made under this Agreement shall be exempt from Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any expense reimbursement made under this Agreement shall be determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject
to Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), then
(a) the right to reimbursement
or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement,
or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to
be provided, in any other taxable year (provided that this clause (b) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any
arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement
is in effect) and (c) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the
expense was incurred.
With
respect to the time of payments of any amount under this Agreement that is Deferred Compensation, references in the Agreement to “termination
of employment” and substantially similar phrases, including a termination of employment due to the Executive’s Disability,
shall mean “Separation from Service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A (determined after applying
the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)). Each installment payable hereunder shall constitute a separate
payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b), including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Each payment
that is made within the terms of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) is
intended to meet the “short-term deferral” rule. Each other payment is intended to be a payment upon an involuntary termination
from service and payable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 1(b)(9)(iii), et. seq., to the maximum extent permitted by that
regulation, with any amount that is not exempt from Code Section 409A being subject to Code Section 409A.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A
at the time of the Termination Date, then only that portion of the severance and benefits payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement,
if any, and any other payments or benefits which may be considered Deferred Compensation (together, the “Deferred Separation
Benefits”), which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined herein) may be made within the
first six (6) months following the Termination Date in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Any
portion of the Deferred Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit otherwise due to the Executive on or within the six (6)
month period following the Termination Date will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in one lump sum cash
payment (without interest) on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the Termination Date. All subsequent Deferred Separation
Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if the Executive dies following the Termination Date but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Termination
Date, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable
after the date of the Executive’s death and all other Deferred Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment
schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any other Deferred Compensation amounts that are payable
as a result of and within
six (6) months
following the Termination Date shall not be paid until the earlier of (i) the day after six months following the Termination Date, or
(ii) ten (10) days after the Company receives written notification of Executive’s death. Any such delayed payments shall be made
without interest.
For
purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” shall mean a sum equal to (x) the amounts payable within the terms
of the “short-term deferral” rule under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) plus (y) the amount payable as “separation
pay due to involuntary separation from service” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) equal to the lesser of two
(2) times: (i) the Executive’s annualized compensation from the Company based upon Executive’s annual rate of pay during the
Executive’s taxable year preceding Executive’s taxable year when Executive’s employment terminated, as determined under
Treasury Regulation 1.409A- 1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1); and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant
to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated.
The provisions of this Section 13 shall
survive the termination of the Executive’s employment for any
reason.
| 14. | Non-Compete, Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation. |
Non-Compete Clause:
The Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Termination Date,
regardless of the cause of termination, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly engage in any business activity which is similar
to the business of the Company within the same city, county, state or other defined geographical area recognized by the Company in which
the Executive provided services for the Company, so long as the Company continues to carry on such business in the city, county, state
or other defined geographical area.
Non-Disclosure
Agreement (NDA): The Executive shall not, during or at any time after the Termination Date, disclose any confidential information or proprietary
data to any person or entity. This includes, but is not limited to, client lists, trade secrets, business operations, internal processes,

public domain and is neither confidential nor proprietary at the time of disclosure through no fault of the Executive. The obligations
set forth in this clause shall survive the termination of employment and continue indefinitely.
Non-Solicitation
Clause: For a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit business
from, or attempt to sell, license, or provide the same or similar products or services as are now provided to, any customer or client

(b)
During the Employment Period, the Company (i) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive for good faith actions or inactions
in connection with employment to the maximum extent provided by the laws of the United States and by the Company’s bylaws and (ii)
shall cover the Executive under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on the same basis as it covers
other senior executive officers and directors of the Company.
(c)
This Agreement constitutes and embodies the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Executive’s
employment by the Company, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the Executive and the
Company, and shall not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the party to be charged. The invalidity
or partial invalidity of one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver
by either party of any provision or condition to be performed shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions
at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.
(d)
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective
successors, heirs, beneficiaries and permitted assigns.
(e)

which together shall constitute one of the same instruments.
(i)
Executive represents and warrants to the Company, that Executive has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement

B
POLICY ON RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY
AWARDED COMPENSATION
1.
Overview
The Board believes
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to adopt this Policy to provide for the recovery of certain Incentive-Based
Compensation in the event of an Accounting Restatement. This Policy is designed to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent
with, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the regulations and rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule
10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”), and the applicable rules, regulations and listing standards
of the Exchange (collectively, and as the same may be in effect from time to time, the “Applicable Rules”). Unless
otherwise defined in this Policy, capitalized terms used in this Policy have the meanings given to them in Section 2.
2.
Definitions
(a)
“Accounting Restatement” means an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to
the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. securities laws, including any required
accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial
statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the
current period.
| (b) | “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time. |
(c)
“Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation” means, in connection with an Accounting Restatement and with

by the Company), all Incentive-Based Compensation Received by such Senior Executive (i) on or after the Effective Date, (ii) after beginning
service as a Senior Executive, (iii) while the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, and
(iv) during the applicable
Look-Back Period.
(d)
“Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee or subcommittee of the Board,

(g)
“Erroneously Awarded Compensation” means, with respect to each Senior Executive in connection with an Accounting

that would have been Received had the amount of such Incentive- Based Compensation been calculated based on the restated amounts, as determined
by the Committee, calculated by the Committee without regard to any taxes paid. With respect to Incentive-Based Compensation based on
(or derived from) TSR or stock price, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation
directly from the information in the applicable Accounting Restatement, the Committee shall determine the amount of Erroneously Awarded
Compensation based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the TSR or stock price upon which the Incentive-Based
Compensation was Received.
| (h) | “Exchange” means The Nasdaq Stock Market. |
| (i) | “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
(j)
“Financial Reporting Measure” means any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting
principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measure that is derived wholly or in part from such measure,
including but not limited to, “non-GAAP financial measures” for purposes of Exchange Act Regulation G and Item 10 of Regulation
S-K, as well as other measures, metrics and ratios that are not non-GAAP measures, like same store sales. Financial Reporting Measures
include but are not limited to the following (and any measures derived from the following): stock price; TSR; revenues; net income; operating
income; profitability of one or more reportable segments; financial ratios (e.g., accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover
rates); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations; liquidity
measures (e.g., working capital, operating cash flow); return measures (e.g., return on invested capital, return on assets); earnings
measures (e.g., earnings per share); sales per square foot or same store sales, where sales is subject to an Accounting Restatement; revenue
per user, or average revenue per user, where revenue is subject to an Accounting Restatement; cost per employee, where cost is subject
to an Accounting Restatement; any of such financial reporting measures relative to a peer group, where the Company’s financial reporting
measure is subject to an Accounting Restatement; and tax basis income. A Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the
Company’s financial statements or included in a report or other document filed with the SEC.
(k)
“Incentive-Based Compensation” means any compensation granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon
the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure, measured on a pre-tax basis. Incentive-Based Compensation includes, without limitation:
any non-equity incentive plan awards that are earned based wholly or in part on satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal;
bonuses paid from a “bonus pool,” the size of which is determined based wholly or in part on satisfying a Financial Reporting

Company immediately preceding the Restatement Date and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal
year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years (except that a transition period that comprises a period of at
least nine months shall count as a completed fiscal year).
| (m) | “Policy” means this Policy on Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation as the same
may |
be amended, modified,
supplemented, and/or restated from time to time.
(n)
“Received” means, with respect to Incentive-Based Compensation, actual or deemed receipt, and Incentive-Based
Compensation shall be deemed “Received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the applicable Financial Reporting
Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-Based Compensation
occurs after the end of that period. If an equity award vests only upon satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance condition,
the award shall be deemed Received in the fiscal period when it vests. Ministerial acts or other conditions necessary to effect issuance
or payment, such as calculating the amount earned or obtaining Board approval of payment, do not affect the determination of the date
Received.

directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement, in each case regardless of if or when the restated financial statements are
filed.
| (p) | “SEC” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |
(q)
“Senior Executives” means any person who was the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal

designated as “Senior Executives” by the Committee. Executive officers of the Company’s parents or subsidiaries may
be deemed Senior Executives if they perform policy-making functions for the Company. For purposes of this definition, policy-making function
is not intended to include policy-making functions that are not significant. All executive officers of the Company identified by the Board
pursuant to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K shall be deemed Senior Executives.
| (r) | “TSR” means total stockholder return. |
3.
Administration of Policy
(a)
The Policy shall be administrated by the Committee. All questions of interpretation or application of this Policy shall be determined
by the Committee. All Committee decisions shall be final and binding upon all persons and shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted
under applicable law. The Committee is authorized to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration
of this Policy and to use any of the Company’s resources it deems appropriate to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation.
(b)
Determinations of financial and/or accounting irregularities for purposes of this Policy shall be made by the Committee independently
of, and the Committee shall not be bound by, determinations by management or by any other committee of the Board.
(c)
In the administration of this Policy, the Committee is authorized and directed to consult with the full Board, or such other committees
of the Board as may be necessary or appropriate as to matters within the scope of such other committee’s responsibility and authority.
Subject to any limitation under applicable law, the Committee may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take
any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery
under this Policy involving such officer or employee).
4.
Accounting Restatements; Recoupment
(a)
If the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company shall determine, in accordance with this Policy and
the Applicable Rules, the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation for each Senior Executive in connection with such Accounting
Restatement, irrespective of any fault, misconduct or responsibility of any Senior Executive for the Accounting Restatement, and thereafter
the Company shall reasonably promptly recover such amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. In connection with the foregoing, the Committee,
which may act in conjunction with the Company’s Audit Committee, shall take all such actions required by this Policy and the Applicable
Rules.
(b)
If there was Erroneously Awarded Compensation, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the timing and method(s)
for promptly recouping the same, which methods may include, without limitation, one or more of the following: (i) requiring reimbursement
of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation;
(ii) requiring reimbursement
of any equity based compensation awarded; (iii) cancelling outstanding cash or equity- based awards, whether vested or unvested or paid
or unpaid; (iv) cancelling or offsetting against any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Senior Executive, including any
future cash or equity-based awards; (v) requiring the forfeiture of deferred compensation, subject to compliance with Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; (vi) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise,
settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards; and (viii) pursuing any other reasonable remedies. Subject
to compliance with applicable law, the Committee may effect recoupment under this Policy from any amount otherwise payable to a Senior
Executive, including amounts payable to such individual under any otherwise applicable Company plan or program, including base salary,
bonuses or commissions and compensation previously deferred by the Senior Executive.
(c)
To the extent that the Committee determines to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation from a Senior Executive by requiring the
repayment of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company, and such Senior Executive fails to repay all Erroneously Awarded Compensation
to the Company when due, the Company may take all actions reasonable and appropriate to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation
from the applicable Senior Executive. The applicable Senior Executive shall be required to reimburse the Company for any and all expenses
reasonably incurred (including legal fees) by the Company in recovering such Erroneously Awarded Compensation in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence.
(d)
In the event of an Accounting Restatement, except to the extent permitted by the Applicable Rules, the Committee will generally
treat all Senior Executives (including former employees) the same with respect to any actions seeking to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation.
5.
Impracticability
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy if the
Compensation Committee of the Board, or in the absence of such a committee, a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board,
has determined that recovery would be impracticable in accordance with the Applicable Rules and subject to the procedural and disclosure
requirements in the Applicable Rules.
6.
Other Recoupment Rights
The
Board intends that this Policy shall be applied to the fullest extent of the law. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company under applicable law (including,
without limitation, Section 304 of the U.S. Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or Section 954 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended), pursuant to the terms of any other policy of the Company, pursuant to the terms
of any employment agreement, equity award agreement, severance or other agreement, and any other legal remedies available to the Company.
Nothing herein, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated by this Policy, shall (i) limit any claims, damages or other legal remedies
the Company or any of its affiliates may have against a Senior Executive arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by
the Senior Executive or (ii) limit the Company’s ability to seek recovery, in appropriate circumstances (including circumstances
beyond the scope of this Policy) as permitted by applicable law, of any amounts from any employee, whether or not the employee is a Senior
Executive.
7.
No Indemnification or Company-Paid Insurance
Notwithstanding
the terms of any indemnification or insurance policy or any contractual arrangement with any Senior Executive that may be interpreted
to the contrary: (a) the Company shall not indemnify any Senior Executive against (i) the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation
that is recouped, repaid, returned or recovered pursuant to the terms of this Policy; or (ii) any claims relating to the Company’s
enforcement of its rights under this Policy; and (b) the Company is prohibited from paying or reimbursing a Senior Executive for the cost
of or premiums of any third-party insurance purchased to fund any potential obligations of a Senior Executive under this Policy. Further,
the Company shall not enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-Based Compensation from the application of this Policy or that
waives the Company’s right to recoup any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and this Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether
entered into before, on or after the Effective Date).
8.
Committee Indemnification
No
members of the Committee, nor any other members of the Board who assist in the administration of this Policy, nor any officer of employee
of the Company authorized and empowered by the Committee who assists in the administration of this Policy shall be personally liable for
any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy, and each of the foregoing shall be fully indemnified by
the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law and Company policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation.
The
foregoing sentence
shall not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board or any officer of employee of the Company under applicable
law, Company policy or contractual arrangement.
9.
Retroactive Application
This
Policy applies to any Incentive-Based Compensation that is Received by a Senior Executive on or after the Effective Date, even if such
Incentive-Based Compensation was approved, awarded, granted, or paid to such Senior Executive prior to the Effective Date. Without limiting
the generality of Section 4, and subject to applicable law, the Committee may recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy
from any amount of compensation approved, awarded, granted, payable or paid to the Senior Executive prior to, on or after the Effective
Date.
| 10. | Notice to Senior Executives |
The
Company shall provide notice and seek written agreement to this Policy from each Senior Executive in form attached hereto; provided that
the failure to obtain such agreement shall have no impact on the applicability or enforceability of this Policy.
| 11. | Amendment and Termination; Interpretation; Successors |
(a)
The Board may amend, modify, supplement, restate, rescind, terminate, or replace all or any portion of this Policy at any time
and from time to time in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, as the Board deems necessary to reflect and comply with applicable
law or any of the Applicable Rules. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Policy and any of the Applicable Rules, the Applicable
Rules shall control, and this Policy shall be deemed amended to incorporate such Applicable Rules unless the Committee shall expressly
determine otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission,
termination or replacement of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission, termination
or replacement would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment, modification,
supplement, restatement, rescission, termination or replacement) cause the Company to violate any of the Applicable Rules or other applicable
law.
(a)
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Senior Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators,
or other legal representatives, to the fullest extent of the law.
RED CAT

to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted
so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto.
