12.                               Termination.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a)           For Cause By the Company.  The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for “Cause.”  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s gross neglect of, or willful and continued failure to substantially perform, Executive’s duties hereunder (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) a willful act by Executive against the interests of the Company or which causes or is intended to cause harm to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) Executive’s conviction, or plea of no contest or guilty, to a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or of a lesser offense involving dishonesty, the theft of Company property or moral turpitude; or (iv) a material breach of the Agreement by Executive which is not cured by Executive within twenty (20) days (where the breach is curable) following written notice to Executive by the Company of the nature of the breach.  Upon termination of Executive’s employment for Cause pursuant to this Section 12(a), Executive shall be paid any accrued and unpaid Base Salary and Benefits through the date of termination and shall have no additional rights to any compensation or any other benefits under the Agreement or otherwise.

(b)           Disability or Death.  The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death or if Executive is unable for an aggregate of six (6) months in any twelve (12) consecutive month period to perform Executive’s duties due to Executive’s physical or mental incapacity, as reasonably determined by the Board (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as “Disability”).  Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either Disability or death, Executive or Executive’s estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive (i) any accrued and unpaid Base Salary and Benefits and (ii) a bonus for the calendar year in which termination occurs, equal to the bonus which Executive would have been entitled to if he had remained employed by the Company at the end of such

calendar year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such calendar year preceding the date of death or termination of employment and the denominator of which is 365 (a “Pro Rata Bonus”).  Upon termination of Executive’s employment due to Disability or death pursuant to this Section 12(b), Executive shall have no additional rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.  All other benefits, if any, due Executive following Executive’s termination for Disability or death shall be determined in accordance with the plans, policies and practices of the Company.

(c)           Without Cause By the Company.  The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company without “Cause.”  If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (other than by reason of Disability or death), Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) any accrued and unpaid Base Salary and Benefits, (ii) continuation of Executive’s Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination (the “Severance Payment”), (iii) continuation of Executive’s health and dental insurance coverage on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other executives of the Company for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination and (iv) a Pro Rata Bonus.  Upon termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause pursuant to this Section 12(c), Executive shall have no additional rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.  All other benefits, if any, due Executive following Executive’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause shall be determined in accordance with the plans, policies and practices of the Company.

(d)           Voluntary Termination By Executive.  Executive shall provide the Company thirty (30) days’ advance written notice in the event Executive terminates Executive’s employment, other than for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined); provided that the President may, in his sole discretion, terminate Executive’s employment with the Company prior to the expiration of the thirty-day notice period.  In such event and upon the expiration of such thirty-day period (or such shorter time as the President in his sole discretion may determine), Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate, and Executive shall be limited to receiving any Base Salary earned and unpaid as of Executive’s termination date.

(e)           Termination For Good Reason.  Executive may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for “Good Reason” at any time during the Employment Term.  For purposes of the Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) the Company requiring Executive to move Executive’s primary place of employment more than thirty-five (35) miles from the then current place of employment, if such move materially increases Executive’s commute, or (iii) a material diminution of Executive’s responsibilities, provided that any of the foregoing is not cured by the Company within twenty (20) days following receipt of written notice by Executive to the Company of the specific nature of the breach.  No termination for Good Reason shall be permitted unless the Company shall have first received written notice from Executive describing the basis

of such termination for Good Reason.  A termination of Executive’s employment for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 12(e) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a termination by the Company without Cause and the provisions of Section 12(c) relating to the payment of compensation and benefits shall apply.

(f)            Benefits/Release.  In addition to any amounts which may be payable following a termination of employment pursuant to one of the paragraphs of this Section 12, Executive or Executive’s beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive any benefits that may be provided for under the terms of an employee benefit plan in which Executive is participating at the time of termination.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all payments, other than the payment of any accrued and unpaid Base Salary and Benefits, to which Executive is entitled under this Section 12 are conditioned upon and subject to Executive’s execution of a general waiver and release, in such form as may be prepared by the Company’s attorneys, of all claims and issues arising under the Employment Agreement, except for such matters covered by provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

(g)           Except as provided in this Section 12, the Company shall have no further obligation or liability under this Agreement following a termination of employment by Executive.

(h)           Notice of Termination.  Any purported termination of employment by the Company or by Executive shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 17(h) hereof.

13.                               Non-Competition.

(a)           Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its affiliates, the valuable confidential business information in such Executive’s possession and the customer goodwill associated with the ongoing business practice of the Company, and accordingly agrees as follows:

(i)            During the Employment Term and, for a period ending on the expiration of one year following the termination of Executive’s employment (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any business for Executive’s own account that competes with the business of the Company, (ii) enter the employ of, or render any services to, any person engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Company, (iii) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any person engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Company, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant, or (iv) interfere with business relationships (whether formed before or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company or any of its affiliates that are engaged in a business similar to the business of the Company (the “Company Affiliates”) and customers or suppliers of the Company or the Company Affiliates.

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Executive may directly or indirectly own, solely as a passive investment, securities of any person engaged in the business of the Company which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if Executive (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own one percent (1%) or more of any class of securities of such person.

(iii)          During the Restricted Period, and for an additional one year after the end of the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, (i) without the written consent of the Company, solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or the Company Affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or the Company Affiliates, or (ii) without the written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), hire any such employee who has left the employment of the Company or the Company Affiliates (other than as a result of the termination of such employment by the Company or the Company Affiliates) within one year after the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company or the Company Affiliates.

(iv)          During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to cease to work with the Company or the Company Affiliates any consultant then under contract with the Company or the Company Affiliates.

(b)           It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 13 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable.  Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.

14.                               Confidentiality.  Executive will not at any time (whether during or after Executive’s employment with the company) disclose or use for Executive’s own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise other than the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any trade secrets, information, data, or other confidential information relating to customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans, or the business and affairs of the Company generally, or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to information which is generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of Executive’s breach of this covenant.  Executive agrees

that upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, he will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business of the Company and its affiliates, except that he may retain personal notes, notebooks and diaries.  Executive further agrees that he will not retain or use for Executive’s account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or its affiliates.

15.                               Specific Performance.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 13 or Section 14 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

16.                               Independence, Severability and Non-Exclusivity.  Each of the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement shall be independent of the others and shall be severally enforceable and all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the Company or its affiliates under the law or in equity.  If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, including without limitation, the rights and remedies enumerated herein, is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, or rights or remedies, which shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.
