DIRECTOR AGREEMENT
INDEPENDENT
DIRECTOR AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated________ 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and between
Freight Technologies, Inc., a British Virgin Island business company (the “Company”), and __________________ (hereinafter
referred to as the “Director”).
BACKGROUND
The
board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) desires to appoint the Director and to have the Director perform the
duties of an independent director and the Director desires to be so appointed for such position and to perform the duties required of
such position in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the Director hereby agree as follows:
1.
DUTIES. From and after the Effective Date, the Company requires that the Director be
available to perform the duties of an independent director customarily related to this function as may be determined and assigned by
the Board and as may be required by the Company’s constituent instruments, including Memorandum and Articles of Association and
its corporate governance and board committee charters, each as amended or modified from time to time, and by applicable law, including
the BVI Business Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Act”). The Director agrees to devote as much time as is necessary
to perform completely the duties as a Director of the Company, including duties as a member of the Audit Committee and such other committees
as the Director may hereafter be appointed to. The Director will perform such duties described herein in accordance with the general
fiduciary duty of directors arising under the Act.
2.
TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date, and shall continue until the Director’s removal or
resignation.
3.
COMPENSATION. Following the commencement of the term of this Agreement, for all services
to be rendered by the Director in any capacity hereunder, the Company agrees to compensate the Director a fee of $24,000 per year in
cash (the “Annual Fee”) and an additional fee of $24,000 per year in cash for serving as chairman of the Audit Committee
or $12,000 per year in cash for serving as chairman of the Compensation Committee (the “Annual Chairman Service Fee”),
which the Annual Fee and the Annual Chairman Service Fee shall be paid to the Director in four equal installments no later than the
seventh business day of each calendar quarter commencing in the first quarter following the date of this Agreement. The Director shall
be responsible for his or her own individual income tax payment on the Annual Fee in jurisdictions where the Director resides.
In
the event that the Director serves less than a full year on the Board, the Company shall only be obligated to pay the pro rata portion
of such Annual Fee and the Annual Chairman Service Fee to the Director for his services performed during such year.
4.
EXPENSES. In addition to the compensation provided in paragraph 3 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Director for pre-approved
reasonable business related expenses incurred in good faith in the performance of the Director’s duties for the Company. Such payments
shall be made by the Company upon submission by the Director of a signed statement itemizing the expenses incurred. Such statement shall
be accompanied by sufficient documentary matter to support the expenditures.
5.
CONFIDENTIALITY. The Company and the Director each acknowledge that, in order for the intents and purposes of this Agreement to be

Company (“Confidential Information”). The Director covenants not to, either directly or indirectly, in any manner,

6.
NON-COMPETE. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Director’s removal or resignation
from the Board of Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (the “Restricted Period”), the
Director shall not, without prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) provide the same or substantially the same
services that he or she provides to the Company to any business competitive with the Company’s current lines of business or any
business then engaged in by the Company in the U.S., Mexico and Canada (the “Market Area”), any of its subsidiaries
or any of its affiliates (the “Company’s Business”) for the Director’s own benefit or for the benefit
of any person or entity other than the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate; or (ii) have any interest as owner, sole proprietor, shareholder,
partner, lender, director, officer, manager, employee, consultant, agent or otherwise in any business competitive with the Company’s
Business; provided, however, that the Director may hold, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, not more than
five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of any person or entity which are listed on any national securities exchange or regularly
traded in the over-the-counter market notwithstanding the fact that such person or entity is engaged in a business competitive with the
Company’s Business. Should the Company expand geographically beyond the Market Area, the Director shall notify the Company in writing
of any other services provided in those areas of the Company’s geographic expansion. In addition, during the Restricted Period,
the Director shall not develop any property for use in the Company’s Business on behalf of any person or entity other than the
Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

or otherwise, both as to action in the Director’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
The Company and the Director are executing an indemnification agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
9.
EFFECT OF WAIVER. The waiver by either party of the breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed

securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a
majority of the Board or other governing body of such surviving entity;

(b).
“Disinterested Director” with respect to any request by the Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses
hereunder shall mean a director of the Company who neither is nor was a party to the Proceeding (as defined below) in respect of which
indemnification or advancement is being sought by the Indemnitee.
(c).

the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, whether or not the Indemnitee is serving in such capacity at the time any
liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement is to be provided under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or

respect to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates, employee benefit or welfare plans, such plan’s participants
or beneficiaries or any other enterprise, foreign or domestic. In the event that the Indemnitee shall be a director, officer, employee

agreement with the Company for so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until such time as the Indemnitee tenders a
resignation in writing or is removed from the Indemnitee’s position; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may at
any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or other obligation imposed by operation
of law).
3.
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, indemnify
the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or in
the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director or officer
of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, against all Expenses, judgments,
fines, interest or penalties, which are actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement
of such a Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification under this section shall be made in respect of any claim, issue
or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudicated by final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to
the Company for willful misconduct in the performance of his/her duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which such other court shall deem
proper.
4.
Proceeding Other Than a Proceeding by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
laws, indemnify the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding
(other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director or officer
of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, against all Expenses, judgments,
fines, interest or penalties, which are actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such a Proceeding, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any settlement of a Proceeding must be approved in
advance in writing by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
5.
Indemnification for Costs, Charges and Expenses of Witness or Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
to the extent that the Indemnitee (a) has prepared to serve or has served as a witness in any Proceeding in any way relating to (i) the
Company or the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates, employee benefit or welfare plans or such plan’s participants or beneficiaries
or (ii) anything done or not done by the Indemnitee as a director or officer of the Company or in connection with serving at the request
of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, or (b) has been successful in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal of a Proceeding without prejudice or the settlement of a
Proceeding without an admission of liability, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by the Indemnitee in connection therewith to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. All such indemnification against Expenses
shall be offset by the amount of cash, if any, received by the Indemnitee resulting from his/her success therein.
6.
Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for
a portion of Expenses, but not for the total amount of Expenses, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses
to which Indemnitee is entitled.
7.
Advancement of Expenses. The Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in any Proceeding shall be paid promptly by the Company in advance
of the final disposition of the Proceeding at the written request of the Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law;
provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall set forth in such request reasonable evidence that such Expenses have been
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding and an undertaking in writing to repay any advances if it is ultimately
determined as provided in Section 8(b) of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
the Articles, applicable law or otherwise.
8.
Indemnification Procedure; Determination of Right to Indemnification.
(a)
Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification
or advancement of Expenses in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement
thereof in writing. The failure and delay to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company
may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Company shall have lost significant substantive or procedural rights with
respect to the defense of any Proceeding as a result of such omission to so notify.
(b)
The Indemnitee shall be conclusively presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement unless a determination is made that
the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Articles, applicable law or otherwise by one of the following
two methods, which, if there has not been a Change in Control, shall be at the election of the Board: (i) by a majority vote of the Board
of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors or (ii) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable
or, even if obtainable, said Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy
of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. If a Change in Control shall have occurred and the Indemnitee so requests in writing,
such determination shall be made only by Independent Legal Counsel in the manner set forth in this subsection.
(c)
If (i) a determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or (ii) a claim for indemnification
or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement is not paid by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of written
notice thereof, the Indemnitee is entitled to an adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such judicial proceeding shall
be made de novo. The burden of proving that indemnification or advances are not appropriate shall be on the Company. Neither the failure
of the directors of the Company or Independent Legal Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification or advancement of Expenses is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct,
if any, nor an actual determination by the directors of the Company or Independent Legal Counsel that the Indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to an action by the Indemnitee or create a presumption for the purpose of such an action
that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement
or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself (i) create a presumption that the Indemnitee
did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and/or its shareholders,
and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful or (ii)
otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, except as
may be provided herein.
(d)
If a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification or advancement of Expenses
hereunder, the Company shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such adjudication
(including, but not limited to, any appellate proceedings).
(e)
With respect to any Proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of Expenses is requested, the Company will be entitled to participate
therein at its own expense and, except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company may assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election to assume
the defense of a Proceeding, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred
by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than as provided below. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in
any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent. The Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ his/her own counsel in any Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice
from the Company of its assumption of the defense of the Proceeding shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee, unless (i) the employment
of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of a Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall
not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of a proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s
counsel shall be advanced by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on
behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company
and the Indemnitee.
9.
Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this
Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against the Indemnitee:
(a)
in connection with any Proceeding initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, unless (i) the Board
authorized the Proceeding prior to its initiation or (ii) the Proceeding is to enforce indemnification rights under this Agreement, the
Articles, applicable law or otherwise and either (A) Indemnitee is successful in such Proceeding in establishing Indemnitee’s right,
in whole or in part, to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder (in which case such indemnification or advancement shall
be to the fullest extent permitted by this Agreement) or (B) the court in such Proceeding shall determine that, despite Indemnitee’s
failure to establish his or her right to indemnification, Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for such expenses (in which case such indemnification
or advancement shall be to the extent provided by such court);
(b)
in connection with the Indemnitee preparing to serve or serving, prior to a Change in Control, as a witness in voluntary cooperation
with any non-governmental or non-regulatory party or entity who or which has threatened or commenced any action or proceeding against
the Company, or any director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, representative, subsidiary, parent corporation or affiliate of the Company,
but such indemnification may be provided by the Company if the Board finds it to be appropriate;
(c)
for which payment has actually been made to the Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy, except in respect of any excess
beyond the amount of payment under such insurance policy;
(d)
for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions
of Section 16(b) of the Act or similar provisions of any foreign or United States federal, state or local statute or regulation;
(e)
for which the Indemnitee is indemnified and actually paid other than pursuant to this Agreement;
(f)
for conduct that is finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the Indemnitee’s dishonesty, willful
default or fraud, including, without limitation, breach of the duty of loyalty, unless and only to the extent that the court in which
such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which such court shall deem proper;
(g)
if a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that such indemnification is unlawful. In this respect, the Company and the Indemnitee
have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) takes the position that indemnification
for liabilities arising under securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification
should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication;;
(h)
in connection with Indemnitee’s personal tax matter;
(i)
subject to the proviso in Section 9(a) hereof, in connection with any dispute or breach arising under any contract or similar obligation
between the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and such Indemnitee; or
(j)
in connection with any reimbursement made by Indemnitee to the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or Section 954 of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder.
10.
Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors,
officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise that such person serves at the request of the Company, the Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy
or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to the terms hereof,
the Company has directors’ and officers’ insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of
such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of
such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
11.
No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in the Indemnitee any right to continued employment with
the Company.
12.
Continuation of Indemnification. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period
that the Indemnitee is a director or an executive officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent
of another enterprise, foreign or domestic) and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding
by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director or an executive officer of the Company or is or was serving in any other
capacity referred to in this Section 12.
13.
Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed to be exclusive of
any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Articles, any agreement, vote of shareholders or vote of Disinterested
Directors, provisions of applicable law, or otherwise, both as to action or omission in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and
as to action or omission in another capacity on behalf of the Company while holding such office.
14.
Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is
unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount
incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses,
in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable
in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee
as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving rise to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and
its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). The relative fault
of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such judgments,
fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses. The Company agrees that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 14 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.
15.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements
with respect to the matters covered hereby are superseded by this Agreement.
16.
Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of each
of the parties hereto. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit, restrict or reduce
any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any act or omission, or any event occurring, prior to such amendment, alteration
or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision limits rights with respect to indemnification,
contribution or advancement of Expenses, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the rights with respect to indemnification, contribution
or advancement of Expenses in effect prior to such change shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
17.
Waivers. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) by the party entitled to enforce such term only by a writing signed by the party against which such waiver
is to be asserted. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any right, power or
privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder.
18.
Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either
party thereto without the prior written consent of the other party, except that the Company may, without such consent, assign all such
rights and obligations to a successor in interest to the Company which assumes all obligations of the Company under this Agreement in
a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and the Company’s successors (including any
direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets
of the Company) and assigns, as well as the Indemnitee’s spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.
19.
Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing (which may be by facsimile
transmission or email). All such notices, requests and other communications shall be deemed received on the date of receipt by the recipient
thereof if received prior to 5:00 p.m. in the place of receipt and such day is a business day in the place of receipt. Otherwise, any
such notice, request or communication shall be deemed not to have been received until the next succeeding business day in the place of
receipt. The address for notice to a party is as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or such other address as any party shall
have given by written notice to the other party as provided above.
20.
Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all
of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to
secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
21.
Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including each portion of any
Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal
or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum
effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including each
portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. To the extent required,
any section, sentence, term or provision of this Agreement may be modified by a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve its validity
and to provide the Indemnitee with the broadest possible indemnification permitted under applicable law. The Company’s inability,
pursuant to a court order or decision, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
22.
Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
23.
Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not be deemed to alter or affect
the meaning or interpretation of any provisions hereof.
24.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed
to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party
against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
25.
Use of Certain Terms. As used in this Agreement, the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder”
and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular paragraph, subparagraph, section, subsection,
or other subdivision. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine,
feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa.
