(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, except to the extent required by law, the Company shall not be required to pay any amounts under this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement if Employee is in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Agreement with the Company, including without limitation, all employee policies of the Company and any obligation relating to the treatment of Company confidential information and any non-compete obligation.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

“Cause” shall mean (i) Employee’s failure to substantially perform one or more of Employee’s essential duties and obligations to the Company (other than any such failure resulting from a Disability) which, to the extent such failure is remediable, Employee

3

fails to remedy in a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days) after receipt of written notice from the Company; (ii) Employee’s refusal or failure to comply with the reasonable and legal directives of the Board of Directors after written notice from the Board describing Employee’s failure to comply and, if such failure is remediable, Employee’s failure to remedy same within 21 days of receiving written notice; (iii) any act of personal dishonesty, fraud or misrepresentation taken by Employee which was intended to result in or resulted in substantial gain or personal enrichment of the Employee at the expense of the Company; (iv) Employee’s violation of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to the Company’s business which violation was or is reasonably likely to be materially injurious to the Company; (v) Employee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any State that is reasonably likely to reasonably likely to be materially injurious to the Company; (vi) Employee’s abuse of drugs, other narcotics or alcohol during working hours or where such abuse (whenever occurring) impacts on Employee’s working day, (vii) Employee’s breach of any of his obligations under any written agreement with the Company (including without limitation this Agreement and any proprietary information and inventions assignment agreement with the Company) which, to the extent such breach is remediable, Employee fails to remedy in a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days) after receipt of written notice from the Company; or (viii) Employee’s violation of a policy of the Company which, to the extent such failure is remediable, Employee fails to remedy in a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 30 days) after receipt of written notice from the Company.

“Disability” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

“Good Reason” shall exist upon the occurrence of one of the following Company actions (unless Employee consents in writing to such action(s)): (i) a material reduction of the Employee’s salary and employee benefits to which the Employee was entitled immediately prior to such reduction unless such reduction applies to all similarly situated executives, (ii) a material reduction in the duties, authority or responsibilities relative to the Employee’s duties, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, provided, however, that if the Company assigns to the Employee duties for another senior executive position with the Company, such assignment shall not constitute Good Reason; or (iii) the relocation of the Employee to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from the Employee’s then present location; provided, however, that (A) Employee must provide the Company with written notice of the occurrence of such action(s) within 60 days of the initial occurrence of such action(s) and of his intent to terminate employment based on such action(s), (B) the written notice must describe the event constituting Good Reason in reasonable detail, and (C) within 30 days from the date that such written notice is received by the Company, the Company must cure such action(s).

(e) If there is a Change of Control of the Company prior to the Expiration Date: (i) Restricted Stock granted pursuant to Section 3(b) will become vested as set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement, (ii) awards granted pursuant to the then applicable MIP and PUP will become subject to, and affected by, the Change of Control provisions contained in such

4

plans, and (iii) if Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason prior to the Expiration Date, Employee will thereafter be entitled to receive severance pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, each reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided under this Agreement shall be provided in a manner and at a time that complies with Section 409A; (ii) if at the time of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits (or portions thereof) otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the payment or benefits shall be delayed to the earliest date required under Section 409A of the Code to the extent and amount necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, with such delayed payments to be accumulated and made in lump sum on the first business day following the earliest date permitted by Section 409A of the Code, (iii) for purposes of this Section 5, a termination of employment only occurs if it constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code, and (iv) each payment identified in Section 5(a)(i)-(iii), including each separate installment payment identified thereunder, will be considered the right to a series of separate payments. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement, the Company and Employee will cooperate in good faith to amend or modify the Agreement so that the payments under this Agreement qualify for exemption from or comply with Code Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the payments under the Agreement shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code.
