8.Termination. 

A.By the Company: 

(i)For Cause. The Company shall have the right at any time, exercisable upon written notice, to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause, notwithstanding the term of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, 

(ii)Due to Death or Disability. Executive’s employment shall terminate upon Executive’s death and the Company may terminate Executive’s employment due to Executive’s Disability. As used in this Agreement, “Disability” means any physical or mental disability or incapacity that renders Executive incapable of fully performing the essential functions required of Executive by the Company, with or without a reasonable accommodation, consistent with applicable law for a period of 180 consecutive days or for shorter periods aggregating 180 days during any twelve

(12) month period; provided, however, that Executive shall be deemed to suffer from a Disability if Executive is rendered incapable of fully performing the essential functions required of Executive by the Company for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days and at the end of such ninety (90) day period, a qualified independent physician mutually selected by the Company and Executive determines that there is no reasonable prospect of Executive resuming such essential functions within the subsequent ninety (90) day period. For purposes of the definition of Disability, the term “Company” includes any Affiliate of the Company with respect to which Executive performs Executive’s duties. Any question as to the existence of a Disability upon which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined by a qualified independent physician selected by Executive (or, if Executive is unable to make such selection, a selection shall be made by Executive’s spouse, if available, or if such spouse is unavailable due to death or incapacity, any other adult member of Executive’s immediate family), with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The determination of such physician made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of determining the existence of a Disability under this Agreement. This provision is not intended to waive Executive’s rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act, the Minnesota Human Rights Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or any other applicable law concerning employees with disabilities or serious health conditions.

(iii)Without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement Without Cause by providing Executive with at least 10 days written notice, notwithstanding the term of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, a termination “Without Cause” shall mean the termination of Executive’s employment by the Company other than for Cause pursuant to Section 8(A)(i) above or due to death or Disability pursuant to Section 8(A)(ii) above. 

B.By Executive. Notwithstanding the term of this Agreement, Executive may voluntarily resign his employment with Company at any time by providing written notice to Company of such resignation at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of resignation. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective date of Executive’s resignation shall be that specified in the written resignation notice, or the actual date Executive terminates employment with Company as a result of a resignation, whichever occurs later (the “Resignation Date”). Executive shall be entitled to payment of the pro rata portion of Executive’s Base Salary through and including the Resignation Date, plus, if Executive resigns for Good Reason as defined hereafter, a pro rata share of his annual bonus as provided in Section 5(B). The Company reserves the right to pay Executive his Base Salary in lieu of working from the date of the Notice through the Resignation Date. For Executive to have the right to resign for Good Reason, all of the following must timely occur: (i) Executive must provide the Company with notice of the occurrence of any of the Good Reason events within the 30 day period immediately following such event and such notice must describe in detail the Good Reason event and the proposed cure to such event, (ii) the Company must fail to cure such event with a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of such notice, and (iii) notice of resignation is delivered by Executive to the Company within 30 days following the day on which the 30 day period set forth in the preceding clause (ii) expires. 

C.Compensation Upon Termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company’s obligation to pay compensation and benefits shall terminate, except that the Company shall pay to Executive or, if applicable, Executive’s heirs, (i) all earned but unpaid Base Salary and Bonus through the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and (ii) if the Company terminates employment Without Cause or Execitve resigns for Good Reason, for any accrued but unpaid and unused paid time off, vacation time, or similar time off. The obligations to pay earned but unpaid Base Salary and Bonus shall apply whether Executive’s termination is voluntary or involuntary and without regard to the reason, if any, for such termination, and are not contingent upon Executive signing a release. Certain other provisions of this Agreement shall, where applicable, survive the termination of this Agreement. 

6

If the Company terminates Executive’s employment Without Cause, the Company shall pay Executive (i) a pro rata bonus as described in Section 5 and (ii) a separation payment equal to $90,000, payable to Executive in equal bi-weekly installments (less applicable withholdings). No other payments or compensation of any kind shall be paid in respect of Executive’s employment with or termination from the Company. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, in the event of any termination of Executive’s employment, the exclusive remedy available to Executive shall be the amounts due under this Section, which are in the nature of liquidated damages, and are not in the nature of a penalty.
