WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into the Agreement on January 10, 2022.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Agreement to set forth additional terms, conditions and obligations of the Parties with respect to the Executive’s employment in the Company.

| 1. | Section 1.4.3.i of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and in its place the following is inserted: |
“i. Grants. Effective on the date the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common
Stock”) is first listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other national securities exchange (“IPO date”),
the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”), or a committee thereof, shall grant the Executive 165,000 shares
of restricted Common Stock of the Company, which shall be subject to a monthly vesting schedule and vest evenly over a 24 month
period, commencing on the IPO date (collectively, the "Equity Awards"). In the event of the Executive's death,
Disability (as defined herein) or Change of Control of the Company, any then- outstanding and unvested portion of Equity Awards

on the date of issue and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan that Executive has seen
and approved prior to the execution of this Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the Equity Awards will vest only in case the
Executive is employed by the Company on the IPO date.”
