     3.1 Generally.

Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination, any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for completed fiscal years, any unreimbursed expenses in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof and, to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided under any plan, program, policy or practice or other contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliates through the date of termination of employment (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”).

     3.2 Certain Terminations.

          a. Termination by the Company other than for Cause or Disability; Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Term by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined herein), the Executive shall be entitled to: (i) the Accrued Amounts, (ii) a pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year of termination, based on actual performance through the end of the applicable fiscal year and the number of days that have elapsed in the fiscal year through the date of termination (a “Pro-Rata Bonus”), (iii) payment of an amount equal to the sum of 1/12 of Base Salary and 1/12 of the target Annual Bonus each month for twelve (12) months following termination (the “Severance Payments”) and (iv) continuation of medical benefits on the same terms as active senior executives for twelve (12) months following termination (“Medical Continuation”). In addition, all of the Options granted pursuant to Section 2.3 that are unvested at the time of such termination will become fully vested at termination in accordance with this Section 3.2.a (“Option Vesting”). Receipt of the Severance Payments, Medical Continuation and Option Vesting shall be conditioned on the Executive’s continued compliance with his obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement. In the event that the Executive breaches any of the material covenants set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, the Executive shall immediately return to the Company any portion of the Severance Payments that have been paid to the Executive pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) and any shares or other amounts received in respect of the Options that became vested pursuant to this Section 3.2(a), and the Medical Continuation shall immediately terminate. Subject to Section 3.2(c), the Company will commence payment of the Severance Payments as soon as practicable following the effectiveness of the Release. The Pro-Rata Bonus will be paid at the time the Company ordinarily pays incentive bonuses to its executives with respect to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs.

          b. Termination upon Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated due to the Executive’s death or Disability, the Executive (or the Executive’s estate, if applicable) will receive (i) the Accrued Amounts, (ii) a Pro-Rata Bonus and (iii) Option Vesting.

          c. Section 409A Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), the Company shall not commence payment of the Severance Payments to the Executive until one (1) day after the day which is six (6) months after the Executive’s termination date (the “Delay Period”), with the first (1st) payment equaling the total of all payment that would have been paid during the Delay Period but for the application of Section 409A to such payments. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be considered to have terminated when the Executive incurs a “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder.

          d. Exclusive Remedy. The foregoing payments upon termination of the Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive severance payments due the Executive upon a termination of his employment under this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that the Medical Continuation is in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation under COBRA.

     3.3 Resignation from All Positions. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned, as of the date of such termination, from all positions he then holds as an officer, director, employee and member of the Board (and any committee thereof) and the board of directors (and any committee thereof) of any of the Company’s affiliates.

     3.4 Cooperation. Following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company upon reasonable request of the Board and to be reasonably available to the Company with respect to matters arising out of the Executive’s services to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Company shall pay the Executive a reasonable fee for any such services and promptly reimburse the Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such matters.

4. Unauthorized Disclosure; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Interference with Business Relationships; Proprietary Rights.

     4.1 Unauthorized Disclosure. The Executive agrees and understands that in the Executive’s position with the Company, the Executive will be exposed to and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Company and its affiliates and other forms of information considered by the Company and its affiliates to be confidential or in the nature of trade secrets (including, without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”).

     4.2 Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement and the payments made and the benefits provided hereunder, and in further consideration of the Executive’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Company and its affiliates, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and for eighteen (18) months thereafter (the “Restriction Period”), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that in no event shall ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding securities of any class of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 4.2, so long as the Executive does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such issuer other than rights as a stockholder thereof. For purposes of this paragraph, “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any Person that is actively engaged in any geographic area in any business which is either (i) in competition with the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) proposed to be conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in their respective business plans as in effect at that time.

contact, induce or solicit) any customer or client of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate its relationship or otherwise cease doing business in whole or in part with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or directly or indirectly interfere with (or assist any Person to interfere with) any material relationship between the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates and any of its or their customers or clients so as to cause harm to the Company or its affiliates.

     4.6 Proprietary Rights. The Executive shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by him, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and related to the business or activities of the Company and its affiliates (the “Developments”). Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that are owned ab initio by the Company and/or its applicable affiliate, the Executive assigns all of his right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement. The Executive acknowledges that any rights in any Developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Company and/or its applicable affiliate as the Executive’s employer.

Other than with respect to information required to be disclosed by applicable law, the parties hereto agree not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any Person; provided the Executive may disclose this Agreement and/or any of its terms to the Executive’s immediate family, financial advisors and attorneys, so long as the Executive instructs every such Person to whom the Executive makes such disclosure not to disclose the terms of this Agreement further.

     4.8 Remedies. The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 4 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Executive to return any Severance Payments made by the Company to the Company.
