Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to reasonably require you to perform your duties at places other than your primary office location from time to time, and to require reasonable business travel. The Company may modify your job title and duties as it deems necessary and appropriate in light of the Company’s needs and interests from time to time.

2.1.

Salary. You will receive for services to be rendered hereunder base salary paid at the rate of $475,000 per year, less standard payroll deductions and tax withholdings.

Commencing with calendar year 2022, you will be eligible to earn an annual performance and retention bonus of up to forty five (45%) of your base salary rate (the “Annual Bonus”).

Bonus payments, if any, will be subject to applicable payroll deductions and tax withholdings. Following the close of each calendar year, the Parent CEO together with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Parent (the “Parent Board”) will determine whether you have earned an Annual Bonus, and the amount of any such bonus, based on the achievement of such goals. No amount of Annual Bonus is guaranteed, and you must be an employee on the Annual Bonus payment date to be eligible to receive an Annual Bonus; no partial or prorated bonuses will be provided.

3.2.

You will receive an initial bonus payment of $86,000 (the “Initial Bonus”), subject to applicable payroll deductions and tax withholdings, within thirty (30) days of the Start Date (the “Initial Bonus Payment Date”), conditional upon your continuing employment with the Company on the Initial Bonus Payment Date. In the event of either (i) a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 9.1 below) or (ii) a termination of this Agreement by the Company in advance of the Start Date, in each case in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in Section 15 below) that occurs at any time between the date of this Agreement (the “Signing Date”) and the Initial Bonus Payment Date, you will be paid the full amount of the Initial Bonus on the effective date of the Change in Control.

EQUITY COMPENSATION

5.1.

Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Parent Board, the Parent will grant you an option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase 1,800,000 of the Parent’s ordinary

shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the ordinary shares of the Parent after the date hereof) under the Parent's 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Plan”), at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of the ordinary shares of the Parent on the date of grant, as determined by the Parent Board.  The Stock Option will vest over four years, with 25% of the shares subject to the Stock Option vesting on the first anniversary of the commencement of your employment, subject to your continuing employment with the Company, and the remaining shares vesting monthly thereafter over the subsequent 36 months, in equal amounts, subject to your continuing employment with the Company.  The option will be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Inducement Plan and in the option award agreement covering the Stock Option, which must be executed to affect the grant of any option. The Stock Option will be granted as an inducement grant pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(c)(4) under the Inducement Plan as an inducement that is material to your employment with the Company.  In the event of either (i) a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 9.1 below) or (ii) a termination of this Agreement by the Company in advance of the Start Date, in each case that occurs either within three (3) months before or within twelve (12) months following the closing of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 15 below), in each case, the vesting and exercisability of any then-unvested portions of the Stock Option shall be accelerated in full.

5.2.

Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Parent Board, the Parent will grant you 500,000 Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) under the Inducement Plan. The RSUs will vest over four years, with 25% of the RSUs vesting on each one-year anniversary of the Start Date, subject to your continuing employment with the Company. The RSUs will be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Inducement Plan and in the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice covering the RSUs, which must be executed to affect the grant of the RSUs.  The RSUs will be granted as an inducement grant pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(c)(4) under the Inducement Plan as an inducement that is material to your employment with the Company. In the event of either (i) a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 9.1 below) or (ii) a termination of this Agreement by the Company in advance of the Start Date, in each case that occurs either within three (3) months before or within twelve (12) months following the closing of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 15 below), the vesting of any then-unvested RSUs shall be accelerated in full.

5.3.

Additionally, you may be eligible for future equity awards, at the discretion of the Parent Board, which will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Parent’s equity incentive plan then in effect and the applicable grant documents.

6.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND COMPANY POLICIES

6.1.

As a condition of employment, you agree to sign and comply with the Company’s Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A. In addition, you are required to abide by the Company’s policies and procedures, as modified from time to time within the Company’s discretion; provided, however, that in the event the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the Company’s general employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

7.

PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

7.1.

In your work for the Company, you will be expected not to make any unauthorized use or disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other third party to whom you have contractual obligations to protect such information. Rather, you will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. You represent that you are able to perform your job duties within these guidelines, and you are not in unauthorized possession of any unpublished documents, materials, electronically-recorded information, or other property belonging to any former employer or other third party to whom you have a contractual obligation to protect such property. In addition, you represent and warrant that your employment by the Company will not conflict with any prior employment or consulting agreement or other agreement with any third party, that you will perform your duties to the Company without violating any such agreement(s), and that you have disclosed to the Company in writing any contract you have signed that may restrict your activities on behalf of the Company.

8.

AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

8.1.

Your employment relationship with the Company is at-will. Accordingly, you may terminate your employment with the Company at any time and for any reason whatsoever simply by notifying the Company; and the Company may terminate your employment at any time, with or without Cause or advance notice.

9.

SEVERANCE

9.1.

If, at any time, the Company terminates your employment without Cause (other than as a result of your death or disability) or you resign for Good Reason (either such termination referred to as a “Qualifying Termination”), provided such termination or resignation constitutes a Separation from Service (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”), then subject to Sections 11 and 12 below and your continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6 above), the Company will provide you with the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”):

9.1.1.

Cash Severance. The Company will pay you, as cash severance, nine (9) months of your base salary in effect as of your Separation from Service date, less standard payroll deductions and tax withholdings; provided, however, in the event of a Qualifying Termination that occurs either within a month before or within twelve (12) months following the closing of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Company will instead pay you, as cash severance, twelve (12) months of your base salary and 100% of your target Annual Bonus in effect as of your Separation from Service date, less standard payroll deductions and tax withholdings (either such amount, the “Severance”). The Severance will be paid in installments in the form of continuation of your base salary payments and prorated amounts for your target Annual Bonus payments, if applicable, paid on the Company’s ordinary payroll dates, commencing on the Company’s first regular payroll date that is more than sixty (60) days following your Separation from Service date, and the first payment shall include any  amount that would have been paid had the cash severance payments commenced on the Separation from Service Date.

9.1.2.

COBRA Severance. As an additional Severance Benefit, the Company will continue to pay the cost of your health care coverage in effect at the time of your Separation

from Service for a maximum of twelve (12) months, either under the Company’s regular health plan (if permitted), or by paying your COBRA premiums (the “COBRA Severance”). The Company’s obligation to pay the COBRA Severance on your behalf will cease if you obtain health care coverage from another source (e.g., a new employer or spouse’s benefit plan), unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. You must notify the Company within two (2) weeks if you obtain coverage from a new source. This payment of COBRA Severance by the Company would not expand or extend the maximum period of COBRA coverage to which you would otherwise be entitled under applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing COBRA Severance without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of your termination (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made on the last day of each month regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which you obtain other coverage or (y) the last day of the twelfth (12th) calendar month following your Separation from Service date and which payments would be reduced by applicable taxes and withholdings.

10.

RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON; TERMINATION FOR CAUSE; DEATH OR DISABILITY

10.1.

If, at any time, you resign your employment without Good Reason, or the Company terminates your employment for Cause, or if either party terminates your employment as a result of your death or disability, you will receive your base salary accrued through your last day of employment, as well as any unused vacation (if applicable) accrued through your last day of employment as well as any unpaid business expense reimbursements pursuant to the Company’s standard practice. Under these circumstances, you will not be entitled to any other form of compensation from the Company, including any Severance, other than rights to which you are entitled under the Company’s benefit programs.

11.

CONDITIONS TO RECEIPT OF SEVERANCE

11.1.

Prior to and as a condition to your receipt of the Severance described above, you shall execute and deliver to the Company an effective separation and release of claims agreement in a form acceptable to the Company, which shall include, among other things, a release of all releasable claims in favor of the Company, as well as non-disparagement and cooperation obligations, and reaffirmation of your continuing obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement (the “Release”), within the timeframe set forth therein, but not later than forty-five (45) days following your Separation from Service date, and allow the Release to become effective according to its terms (by not invoking any legal right to revoke it) within any applicable time period set forth therein (such latest permitted effective date, the “Release Deadline”).

12.

RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY

12.1.

Upon the termination of your employment for any reason, as a precondition to your receipt of the Severance (if applicable), within five (5) days after your Separation from Service Date (or earlier if requested by the Company), you will return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property within your possession, custody or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, financial and operational

information, customer lists and contact information, product and services information, research and development information, drawings, records, plans, forecasts, reports, payroll information, spreadsheets, studies, analyses, compilations of data, proposals, agreements, sales and marketing information, personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, but not limited to, computers, facsimile machines, mobile telephones, tablets, handheld devices, and servers), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys, and any materials of any kind which contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company, and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part and in any medium. You further agree that you will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information and return them to the Company within the timeframe provided above. In addition, if you have used any personally-owned computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any confidential or proprietary data, materials or information of the Company, then within five (5) days after your Separation from Service date you must provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of such information and permanently delete and expunge such confidential or proprietary information from those systems without retaining any reproductions (in whole or in part); and you agree to provide the Company access to your system, as requested, to verify that the necessary copying and deletion is done.

13.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

13.1.

Throughout your employment with the Company, you may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities so long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of your duties hereunder or present a conflict of interest with the Company. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein and with the prior consent of the Parent Board, you may serve as a director of other corporations and may devote a reasonable amount of your time to other types of business or public activities not expressly mentioned in this paragraph. The Parent Board may rescind its consent to your service as a director of all other corporations or participation in other business or public activities, if the Parent Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such activities compromise or threaten to compromise the Company’s business interests or conflict with your duties to the Company.

13.2.

During your employment by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, you will not directly or indirectly serve as an officer, director, stockholder, employee, partner, proprietor, investor, joint venturer, associate, representative or consultant of any other person, corporation, firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever known by you to compete with the Company (or is planning or preparing to compete with the Company), anywhere in the world, in any line of business engaged in (or planned to be engaged in) by the Company; provided, however, that you may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent (1%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange.

14.

DATA PROTECTION

14.1.

All personal information which the Company holds about you is protected by data protection laws.  The Parent and its subsidiaries (including the Company) will collect and process personal data relating to employees in accordance with the privacy notice which is attached at Exhibit B.

15.

DEFINITIONS

15.1.

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

15.1.1.

“Cause” for termination will mean your: (a) commission or conviction (including a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere) of any felony or any other crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (b) your commission or attempted commission of or participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty or misrepresentation against the Company; (c) material breach of your duties to the Company; (d) intentional damage to any property of the Company; (e) misconduct, or other violation of Company policy that causes harm; (f) your material violation of any written and fully executed contract or agreement between you and the Company, including without limitation, material breach of your Confidentiality Agreement, or of any Company policy, or of any statutory duty you owe to the Company; or (g) conduct by you which in the good faith and reasonable determination of the Company demonstrates gross unfitness to serve. The determination that a termination is for Cause shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion;

15.1.2.

you shall have “Good Reason” for resigning from employment with the Company if any of the following actions are taken by the Company without your prior written consent: (a) a material reduction in your base salary, which the parties agree is a reduction of at least 10% of your base salary (unless pursuant to a salary reduction program applicable generally to the Company’s similarly situated employees); (b) a material reduction in your duties (including responsibilities and/or authorities), provided, however, that a change in job position (including a change in title) shall not be deemed a “material reduction” in and of itself unless your new duties are materially reduced from the prior duties; or (c) relocation of your principal place of employment to a place that increases your one-way commute by more than fifty (50) miles as compared to your then-current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation. In order to resign for Good Reason, you must provide written notice to the Parent Board within 30 days after the first occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason setting forth the basis for your resignation, allow the Company at least 30 days from receipt of such written notice to cure such event, and if such event is not reasonably cured within such period, you must resign from all positions you then hold with the Company not later than 30 days after the expiration of the cure period; and

15.1.3.

“Change in Control” shall mean: (1) a merger or consolidation in which the Parent is a constituent party (or of a subsidiary of the Parent is a constituent party and the Parent issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation), other than a merger or consolidation in which the voting securities of the Parent outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (2) any transaction or series of related transactions in which in excess of 50% of the Parent voting power is transferred, other than the issue by the Parent of shares in transactions the primary purpose of which is to raise capital for the Parent’s operations and activities, or (3) a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all (as determined by the Parent Board in its sole discretion) of the assets of the Parent other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Parent to an entity, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are beneficially owned by shareholders of the Parent in substantially the same proportions as their beneficial ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Parent immediately prior to such sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition.

16.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A

16.1.

It is intended that the Severance set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) (Section 409A, together with any state law of similar effect, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), your right to receive any instalment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each instalment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that the Severance constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and you are, on the date of your Separation from Service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (a “Specified Employee”), then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance shall be delayed until the earliest of: (i) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after your Separation from Service date, (ii) the date of your death, or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments or benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 16 shall be paid in a lump sum or provided in full by the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable), and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred. If the Severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which you have a Separation from Service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release Deadline. The Severance benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly.  No payments hereunder may be accelerated or deferred unless permitted or required by Section 409A.  In no event shall the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) have any liability to you or to any other person with respect to the application of Section 409A to the payments and benefits that may be payable hereunder.

17.

SECTION 280G; PARACHUTE PAYMENT

17.1.

If any payment or benefit you will or may receive from the Company or otherwise (a “280G Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then any such 280G Payment provided pursuant to this Agreement (a “Payment”) shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount (i.e., the amount determined by clause (x) or by clause (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit

for you. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”).

17.2.

Notwithstanding any provision of subsection (a) above to the contrary, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for you as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without Cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A.

17.3.

Unless you and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm or law firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control transaction shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control transaction, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting or law firm to make the determinations required by this Section 17. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting or law firm required to be made hereunder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting or law firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a 280G Payment becomes reasonably likely to occur (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other time as requested by you or the Company.

17.4.

If you receive a Payment for which the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (x) of Section 17(a) and the Internal Revenue Service determines thereafter that some portion of the Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, you agree to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment (after reduction pursuant to clause (x) of Section 17(a)) so that no portion of the remaining Payment is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (y) of Section 17(a), you shall have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

18.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

18.1.

To ensure the timely and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment with the Company, you and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, negotiation, execution, or interpretation of this Agreement, your employment, or the termination of your employment, including but not limited to statutory claims (including but not limited to any claim pursuant to any law prohibiting discrimination or any wage and hour law), will be exclusively resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law by final, binding and confidential arbitration, by a single neutral arbitrator, in Chicago, Illinois unless otherwise agreed to by you and the Company, conducted by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) under the then-applicable JAMS rules (available at the following web address: http://www.jamsadr.com/rulesclauses, and which will be provided to you on request). The arbitrator shall be selected by the Employee and the Company in accordance with JAMS

rules. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. (Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, nothing herein shall be interpreted to mean that you are precluded from filing a charge with a fair employment practices agency, provided, however, that that you acknowledge that you may not recover any monetary benefits in connection with such a charge.)  Further, you and the Company agree that all disputes brought against each other will be arbitrated on an individual basis only, and not in a class action arbitration, a collective action arbitration, or any other group, representative, consolidated, or joint basis. You will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision, to include the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any or all remedies that you or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay all JAMS’ arbitration fees in excess of the amount of court fees that would be required of you if the dispute were filed in a court of law. Nothing in this letter is intended to prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

19.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question shall be modified so as to be rendered enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible under applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law principles.
