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

“Cause” shall mean (i) Employee’s continued 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 fails to remedy in a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 30 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 30 days of receiving written notice; (iii) any act of personal dishonesty, fraud or misrepresentation taken by Employee which was intended to result in substantial gain or personal enrichment of the Employee at the expense of the Company; (iv) Employee’s violation of a federal or state

3

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 be materially injurious to the Company; (vi) Employee’s abuse of drugs, other narcotics or alcohol where such abuse (whenever occurring) impacts on Employee’s working day, (vii) Employee’s breach of any of her material 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 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; or (viii) Employee’s violation of a material written 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 reduction of the Employee’s salary or a material reduction in employee benefits to which the Employee was entitled immediately prior to such reduction, (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; (iii) the relocation of the Employee to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from the Employee’s then present location; or (iv) a change without the consent of the Employee of the status of the Employee as a person who reports directly to the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company; 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 her intent to terminate employment based on such action(s) and (B) the Company will have 30 days from the date that such written notice is provided by Employee to cure such action(s).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) 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 Company will defer the payment of any such payments or benefits (or portions thereof) hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Employee) until the date that is six months following Employee’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted 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 made in lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the end of such six month period, and (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Employee hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral

4

will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Board, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Company shall consult with Employee in good faith regarding the application of this Section 5(e). 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 Code Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to payments under the Agreement. 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 the regulations promulgated thereunder. With respect to the payments indentified in Section 5(a)(i)-(ii), each payment, including each separate installment payment identified thereunder, will be considered the right to a series of separate payments.

(b) Severability. If at any time the provisions of this Section 10 are determined to be invalid or unenforceable by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of activity, this Section 10 shall be considered divisible and shall be immediately amended to only such area, duration or scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter; and Employee agrees that this Section 10 as so amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

12. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision

7

of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

13. Complete Agreement. Except with respect to any proprietary information and inventions assignment agreement between the Company and the Employee, this Agreement embodies with respect to the subject matter hereof the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersedes and preempts with respect to the subject matter hereof any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration.

(b) Equitable Remedies. Each of the Company and Employee agree that disputes relating to or arising out of a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 6 through 10 of this Agreement would likely require injunctive relief to maintain the status quo of the parties pending the appointment of an arbitrator pursuant to this Agreement. The parties hereto also agree that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the damages from any breach of the covenants contained in this Agreement prior to resolution of any dispute pursuant to arbitration. Accordingly, if either party claims that the other party has breached any covenant contained in Sections 6 through 10 of this Agreement, that party will have available, in addition to any other right or remedy, the right to obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened breach and/or to specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute through arbitration. The parties further agree that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of specific performance. However, upon appointment of an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall review any interim, injunctive relief granted by a court of competent jurisdiction and shall have the discretion, jurisdiction, and authority to continue, expand, or dissolve such relief pending completion of the arbitration of such dispute or controversy. The parties agree that any orders issued by the arbitrator may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction if necessary to ensure compliance by the parties.

19. Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and Employee, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.
