7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

8. Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement he previously signed with the Company is in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the remedies provided for in the Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement are separate and distinct from those provided for in this Agreement and in no event shall such remedies be superseded by any provision contained herein.

9. Entire Agreement. Other than the Company’s Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes any and all other prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereof; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and canceled.

10. Arbitration. In the event of a claim, controversy, or dispute between the Employee and the Company(including, without limitation, its affiliates, officers, representative or agents) arising out of or related to this Agreement, the employment of the Employee, the cessation of employment of the Employee, or any matter relating to the foregoing (with the exception of disputes arising under the Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement and claims that pursuant to applicable law a party is prohibited from requiring another party to agree to submit to arbitration), the Employee and the Company agree to settle such dispute by means of arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in New Jersey or another mutually agreed upon location and conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Employment Arbitration Rules. In such arbitration, a single arbitrator, appointed by the mutual agreement of the Employee and the Company: (i) the arbitrator shall agree to treat all evidence and other information presented by the parties to the same extent as Confidential Information under the Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement must be held confidential by the Employee, (ii) shall not amend or modify the terms of this Agreement or of any Company policy, and (iii) shall render a decision within ten (10) business days from the later of closing statements or submission of post-hearing briefs by the parties. The arbitration award shall be final and binding, and any state or federal court shall have jurisdiction to enter a judgment on such award. This requirement to arbitrate disputes means that the Employee and the Company specifically waive any right either party may have to a trial by jury in a court of law, and applies to all claims and demands arising out of or related to this Agreement, the employment of the Employee, the cessation of employment of the Employee, or any matter relating to the foregoing, including without limitation any rights or claims the Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991, the Equal Pay Act, ERISA, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (or other federal or state whistleblower laws) and any rights the Employee may assert under any federal, state, or local laws or regulations applicable to the Employee’s employment with the Company (with the exception of disputes arising under the Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement set forth in Schedule A and claims that pursuant to applicable law a party is prohibited from requiring another party to agree to submit to arbitration). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the existence of a claim by a party that is not subject to arbitration pursuant to this paragraph shall not impair the enforceability of this paragraph with respect to any other claim brought by that party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to mean that you cannot file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and/or the National Labor Relations Board or any comparable federal, state, or local governmental agency.

11. Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

12. Representations. The Employee has been advised to obtain independent counsel to evaluate the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth herein and he has been afforded ample opportunity to obtain such independent advice and evaluation. The Employee warrants to the Company that he has relied upon such independent counsel and not upon any representation (legal or otherwise), statement, or advice said or offered by the Company or the Company’s counsel in connection herewith.

13. Section 409A. All provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”). By way of example, and not limitation, it is the intent of the parties that each installment of the Severance shall be designated as a separate payment for all purposes under Section 409A and the first installment of the Severance shall be exempt from the application of Section 409A pursuant to the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines that the Severance constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, payment of such Severance shall not commence until the Employee incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A−1(h) (“Separation from Service”). Moreover, if, at the time of Employee’s Separation from Service, the Employee is a “specified employee” (under Section 409A), the payment of any amount under this Agreement on account of Separation from Service that is deferred compensation subject to the provisions of Section 409A and not otherwise excluded from Section 409A, including, but not limited to, subsequent installments of such Severance shall not be paid until after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six−month period measured from the date of Employee’s Separation from Service with the Company, or (ii) the date of the Employee’s death (the “409A Suspension Period”).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employee has executed this Agreement, and the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized representative, as of the date and year first written above.
