WHEREAS, as of March 29, 2007 (the “Termination Date”) Welsh’s employment with the Company shall cease in accordance with her letters of resignation dated March 30, 2007; and

WHEREAS, in consideration for the separation benefits and other discretionary amounts provided by this Agreement, Welsh will agree to the general release of claims against the Company contained herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.     Separation of Employment.  In consideration for Welsh’s agreements as set forth herein and in accordance with the terms of her offer letter dated December 28, 2005, the Company agrees to the following:  (a) to pay Welsh all salary and vacation that is accrued but unpaid through the Termination Date; (b) to pay Welsh for valid, outstanding business expenses incurred through the Termination Date, which she will submit and document in accordance with Company policy; (c) to provide Welsh with the following severance benefits (“Severance”):  (i) her current monthly base salary for six (6) months following the Termination Date, which shall amount to $130,000.00 payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, (ii) the continued vesting of stock options for six (6) months, which will be accelerated in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2 below; and (iii) to allow Welsh to participate in all Company benefit plans for six (6) months following the Termination Date, at no additional cost to her except where the plan(s) provide for payment upon conversion of benefits, and except for any plans in which Welsh’s participation is prohibited by law or by the terms of the applicable employee benefit plan.  In accordance with her election to decline health benefits and in lieu of continued participation in any health benefit plan, Welsh will continue to receive a $150.00 payment monthly, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, for six months following the Termination Date.  It is understood that the Company will not make any 401(k) or other benefit deductions from the Severance.  The Company shall withhold all applicable state and federal tax from all payments made pursuant to this Section.  Further, should the Company fail to make a Severance payment in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices as indicated above, all remaining Severance payments will immediately become due and payable.

The Company further agrees to pay Welsh a discretionary amount (“Enhanced Severance”) totaling $39,000.00, which is in excess of what Welsh would otherwise have been entitled to had she not executed this Agreement.  Payment of the Enhanced Severance will be

made in a lump sum in the next payroll cycle following the receipt by the Company or its attorneys of this executed Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that the Enhanced Severance and the extended exercise period set forth in Section 2 below, constitute good and sufficient consideration for this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the waiver and release contained in Section 6.

2.     Options.  Pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option Agreement dated January 3, 2006 (the “Option Agreement”), the Company granted Welsh stock options to purchase a total of 213, 500 shares of Linguagen common stock at $0.42 per share.  As of the Termination Date and before giving effect to the recent reverse merger transaction (the “Reverse Merger”) between the Company and ROBCOR PROPERTIES, INC., (“Robcor”), Welsh’s vested options, including accelerated vesting for six (6) months following the Termination Date, total 88,958 shares (the “Vested Options”).  Following the Reverse Merger, the Vested Options total 247,482 shares of Robcor at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.  Such option numbers and exercise price shall be adjusted in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner in the event of any future corporate transaction.  The right to exercise any Vested Options shall terminate twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, on March 29, 2008, which represents a nine-month extension of the time period provided in  the applicable Option Agreement, attached as Exhibit A.  Welsh further acknowledges and agrees that she is not entitled to any additional stock options or other form of equity securities in the Company or Robcor.

3.     Taxes and Withholdings.  Except as set forth herein, Welsh shall be solely responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes or contributions, other than employer contributions,  imposed or required, if any, under unemployment insurance, social security and income tax laws that pertain to the compensation paid to Welsh.

4.     Restrictive Covenants.  Welsh hereby acknowledges and agrees that she has previously entered into a Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition and Invention Assignment  Agreement dated January 3, 2006, and which includes restrictions on competition and solicitation; she shall continue to be bound by the terms of that agreement.

5.     Waiver and Release by the Company.
