6. Termination by the Company for Cause.

The Company has the right to terminate Employee’s employment with cause. Termination by the Company of the Employee’s employment for cause (hereinafter referred to as “Termination for Cause), shall mean termination upon:

(i) the willful and continued failure by the Employee to substantially perform the Employee’s material duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the material duties that the Board believes that the Employee has not substantially performed; or

(ii) the willful engaging by the Employee in conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or

(iii)  the conviction of the Employee of a felony that results in the Employee being unable to substantially carry out her duties as set forth in this Agreement; or

(iv) the commission of any act by the Employee against the Company that constitutes embezzlement, larceny, and/or grand larceny; or

(v) the failure of the Employee to follow lawful and reasonable instructions from the Board of Directors.

7. Termination by the Company Without Cause. If the Company terminates Employee’s employment other than for Cause pursuant to Paragraph 6, the Company shall pay or provide the Employee, within thirty (30) days of the date of termination, with: (i) any unpaid salary earned under this Agreement prior to the date of termination; (ii) any accrued but unused PTO days prior to the date of termination; (iii) any unpaid compensation due under Paragraph 4 (b) herein; (iv) any unpaid expense reimbursement owed to him for periods through the date of termination; and (v) the Employee’s then current base salary for the remainder of the Employment Period.

8. Termination by the Employee. The Employee may terminate her employment hereunder for “Good Reason,” within ninety (90) days (or shorter, as the Company’s option) of the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a significant and material breach of this Agreement by the Company; or (ii) any failure to pay, within a reasonable amount of time, any part of the Employee’s compensation or to provide the benefits contemplated herein. The Employee shall give the Company written notice of any proposed termination for Good Reason and the Company shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such written notice to cure any ground of termination for Good Reason, as set forth in this Paragraph.  In the event of Termination by Employee for Good Reason, Company shall be obligated to pay to Employee that compensation due as if Company had terminated Employee Without Cause pursuant to Paragraph 7 of this Agreement.

9. Termination Due to Death. In the event of the Employee’s death during the Employment Period, the Employee’s employment hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate. The Company shall have no further obligation or duty to the Employee or her estate or beneficiaries other than monies owed to Employee under Paragraph 7(i), (ii), (iii) (iv) and (v).

10. Termination Due to Disability. Notwithstanding the preceding sections, the Company may terminate the Employee’s employment hereunder, upon written notice to the Employee, in the event that the Employee becomes disabled during the Employment Period. The term “disabled” is defined as any condition of either a physical or psychological nature that, even with reasonable accommodation, renders the Employee unable to perform the essential functions of the services contemplated hereunder for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days during any twelve (12) month period during the Employment Period. Employee represents that any period of disability beyond one hundred eighty (180) days would place an undue burden and hardship on the Company. Any such termination shall become effective upon mailing or hand delivery of such notice to the Employee. The Company shall have no further obligation or duty to the Employee following termination under this Paragraph, other than to pay Employee all earned compensation and benefits through the date of termination, and other than as required by applicable law. In addition, Employee will be entitled to the lesser of (i) an additional six (6) month’s then current base salary or (ii) Employee’s then current base salary through the end of the Employment Period, following any such termination, to be paid pursuant to the Company’s normal payroll cycle. For purposes of determining the existence or nonexistence of a disability, the Employee and Company shall mutually agree to a physician. If the Employee and Company are unable to agree on a physician, the physicians selected by each shall agree on a third physician, who shall make the disability determination.

11. Non-Solicitation.

(a)  Solicitation of Employees. During Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months after termination of such employment at any time and for any reason, Employee shall not solicit, participate in or promote the solicitation of any person who was employed by the Company at the time of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company to leave the employ of the Company or, on behalf of himself or any other person, hire, employ or engage any such person.

During Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months after termination of Employee’s employment at any time and for any reason, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit any person who during any portion of the time of Employee’s employment or at the time of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, was a client, customer, policyholder, vendor, consultant or agent of the Company to discontinue business, in whole or in part, with the Company. Employee further agrees that, during such time, if such a client, customer, policyholder, vendor, or consultant or agent contacts Employee about discontinuing business with the Company or moving that business elsewhere, Employee will inform such client, customer, policyholder, vendor, consultant or agent that he or she cannot discuss the matter further without the consent of the Company .

12. Non-Compete. The Company agrees to disclose to Employee and Employee agrees to receive from the Company confidential information which would provide competitors of the Company with an unfair advantage. In consideration for such disclosure by the Company, Employee agrees as follows:

(a) Competition During Employment.

(a) engage or participate in any business, regardless of where situated, which engages in direct market competition with such businesses being conducted by the Company during the term of employment; or

(b) assist or finance any person or entity in any manner or in any way inconsistent with the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 12(b) shall not apply under the circumstances where this Agreement has been terminated by the Company without cause , if the Company ceases operations, or if this Agreement is terminated by Employee as the result of a material, uncured breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(a) Proprietary Information. Employee understands and acknowledges that, during the course of her employment with the Company, Employee shall create and has created, as well as shall be granted and has been granted access to, certain valuable information relating to the business of the Company that provides the Company with a competitive advantage (or that which could be used to the disadvantage of the Company by a competitor), which is not generally known by, nor easily learned or determined by, persons outside the Company (collectively referred to herein as “Proprietary Information”) including, but not limited to: Intellectual Property, developments, the Company’s products, applications, methods, trade secrets and other intellectual property, the research, development, procedures, manuals, confidential reports, technical information, financial information, business plans, prospects of opportunities, purchasing, operating and other cost data, employee information (including, but not limited to, personnel, payroll, compensation and benefit data and plans), including all such information recorded in manuals, memoranda, projections, reports, minutes, plans, drawings, sketches, designs, formula books, data, specifications, software programs and records, whether or not legended or otherwise identified by the Company as Proprietary Information, as well as such information that is the subject of meetings and discussions and not recorded.
