             (b) Salary, Bonus and Benefits.

                          (i) Salary.

2. Termination.

             (a) Termination Without Just Cause. Upon termination of the Employment Period at any time by the Company without Just Cause (as hereinafter defined), Employee shall be entitled to two weeks’ prior notice, and (i) the Company shall only be obligated to pay Employee such portion of Employee's Annual Base Salary payable to him up to the date of termination and (ii) any other compensation, benefits or other payments payable to Employee up to the date of termination, and all rights of Employee hereunder to any other compensation, benefits or other payments for periods subsequent to such termination shall cease except as follows: If the Employee’s employment is terminated (i) other than for Just Cause (as defined below) by the Company or (ii) by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below), the Employee shall provide at least two weeks prior written notice, and only upon receipt of such prior written notice in a timely manner, Company shall pay to Employee an aggregate severance amount equal to 25% of the Employee’s annual base salary in effect as of the date of such termination (i.e., three months’ base salary and such amount being referred to as the “Severance Amount”). The Severance Amount may be paid in a single lump sum amount, provided that payment of the Severance Amount shall be contingent upon the Employee signing a suitable release and waiver agreement, acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion.

             (b) Termination for Just Cause. The Company may, upon a good faith determination made by the Board or any of the Executive Officers, terminate Employee's employment pursuant to this Agreement for Just Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon termination by the Company of Employee for Just Cause, (i) the Company shall only be obligated to pay Employee such portion of Employee's Annual Base Salary payable to him up to the date of termination and (ii) any other compensation, benefits or other payments payable to Employee up to the date of termination, and all rights of Employee hereunder to any other compensation, benefits or other payments for periods subsequent to such termination shall cease.

             (c) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” for termination by the Employee shall exist upon (i) any material reduction in the Employee’s level of compensation without approval of the Employee (except if due to a reduced work schedule at Employee’s request or due to a department wide reduction in work schedule); or (ii) a transfer of the Employee’s work location for purposes of performing his duties hereunder to a location other that the metropolitan area in which originally stated in an offer of employment.

             (d) Right of Offset. The Company may offset the amounts of any outstanding loans, advances or other disbursements made to or on behalf of the Employee by the Company against any amounts the Company owes Employee hereunder for severance pay, Annual Base Salary, bonuses, benefits or other items of compensation hereunder.

             (e) Release and Waiver. As a condition to the receipt of payments, compensation or other benefits under this Agreement, Employee shall be required to execute and deliver to the Company a general release and waiver, in form and substance acceptable to the Company. In addition to any requirements imposed on Employee, Employee must return all company property within 48 hours of notice of the termination or expiration of this Employment Agreement. Without restricting the general intention of this obligation, this means that Employee must return all computers, keys, pass cards, cell phones, personal organizers, security passes, manuals, books, files, money and other property and materials that belong to Company or for which Company is responsible. All access keys or access mechanisms must be returned immediately.

3. Confidential Information. Given the nature of Employee’s employment with the Company and of the products and markets involved, it is imperative to the Company’s viability and success that the parties enter into the Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. This Confidentiality Agreement survives the termination of this Agreement as stated therein.

4. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

             (a) Noncompetition. Employee shall be bound by the terms of the noncompetition covenants set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

             (b) Nonsolicitation. Employee further agrees that, for a period of two years following any Company-initiated or Employee-initiated termination of employment for any reason whatsoever, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, either for Employee or for any other person, firm, company or corporation, in any capacity, induce or attempt to induce or call upon or solicit any of the Company's employees, consultants, Customers, prospective Customers, suppliers, landlords or other business relations of the Company to leave or cease doing business with the Company or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and any of the Company's employees, Customers, prospective Customers, suppliers, landlords or other business relations thereof or hire or solicit for employment any employee of the Company.

             (c) Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 4, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope and geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope and area and that the court shall be allowed to reduce the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law.

             (d) Employee's Experience. Employee represents and warrants that, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary termination of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, Employee's experience and capabilities are such that Employee can obtain employment in other lines and of a different nature from the Business, and that the enforcement of this Agreement will in no way prevent Employee from earning a livelihood. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, if for any reason Employee does not successfully obtain other employment, such fact shall not relieve Employee from Employee's obligations hereunder.

             (e) Irreparable Harm. Employee acknowledges that a violation by Employee of the provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to the Business, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, in the event of such violation or threatened violation by Employee, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, to specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security.

             (f) Delivery of Documents. Employee agrees that, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary termination of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company all documents, photocopies, notes, drawings, data and other materials of any nature pertaining to Employee's employment with the Company, and Employee shall not take with Employee, or allow any third party to take, any of the foregoing or any reproduction of any of the foregoing.

If any provision of this Agreement shall contravene any statute of a particular state which I perform services for Ironwood, then this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision is not contained herein insofar as enforcement of this Agreement against me in such particular state is concerned.

7. This Agreement replaces any existing agreement entered into by me and Ironwood relating generally to the same subject matter; but such replacement shall not affect rights and obligations of either party arising out of any such prior Agreement which shall then continue to be in effect for that purpose. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein are defined in the Employment Agreement to which this Agreement is attached as Exhibit B.

Both parties have fully read and understand this CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT in its entirety and have signed it on the dates indicated in the spaces provided below.
