For the purposes of this Section 4.3, Cause for termination shall mean: (a) the Executive’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his reasonable assigned duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any failure after the Executive gives notice of termination for Good Reason and Good Reason exists), which failure is not cured within 30 days after a written demand for substantial performance is received by the Executive from the Board of Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties; (b) the Executive’s willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the

Company; or (c) a material breach of Section 6 or 7 this Agreement by the Executive. For purposes of this Section 4.3, no act or failure to act by the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.

4.4 Upon the death or disability of the Executive. As used in this Agreement, the term “disability” shall mean the Executive’s absence from the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties with the Company for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive calendar days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative.

4.5 At the election of the Executive for Good Reason as defined herein. The Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason at any time, following 30-days prior written notice of such termination to the Company. Such notice shall provide factual details of the basis behind such termination and the Company shall have a thirty (30) day period thereafter to cure such matter. As used herein, the term “Good Reason” shall mean: (a) a material breach by the Company of the terms of this Agreement, including the failure to pay Base Salary or any Annual Bonus when due; or (b) any material adverse change by the Company in Executive’s titles, authorities, duties, responsibilities or lines of reporting inconsistent with the terms hereof or the assignment to Executive by the Company of titles, authorities, duties, responsibilities or lines of reporting inconsistent with the terms hereof, or (c) a relocation of the principal offices of

the Company to an area more than forty (40) miles from the location of such offices as of the date hereof.

4.6 At the election of the Executive without Good Reason, upon not less than sixty (60) calendar days prior written notice of termination by the Executive to the Company; provided, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, determine that the termination of the Executive shall become effective immediately and in which case the termination shall still be considered at the election of the Executive without Good Reason.

4.7 At the election of the Company, without Cause, upon not less than sixty (60) days written notice to Executive.

4.8 At the election of the Company or the Executive in connection with a Change in Control of the Company as set forth in the Executive Retention Agreement between the Company and the Executive (the “ERA”), dated as of the date hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the ERA.

5. Effect of Termination.

5.1 Termination For Failing To Name Executive CEO. In the event the Company fails to name Executive to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company within six (6) months from the Commencement Date, and he elects to terminate his employment, provided the Executive executes and does not revoke a Separation Agreement and Release of Claims for the benefit of the Company substantially in the form set forth on Schedule C hereto (the “Separation Agreement”), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Executive, within thirty (30) days of the

date of his termination: (1) a lump-sum payment of two million dollars ($2,000,000); and (2) the amount of any accrued but unpaid Base Salary, unused vacation and unreimbursed business, housing and automobile expenses and the Company thereafter shall have no further obligation to Executive under this Agreement, other than for payment of any other amounts or benefits accrued and vested under any applicable benefit plan or otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

5.2 Non-Renewal, Termination Without Good Reason By the Executive or Termination For Cause By the Company. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by non-renewal pursuant to Section 4.2, for Cause by the Company pursuant to Section 4.3, or at the election of the Executive pursuant to Section 4.6, the Company shall pay to the Executive the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to him under Section 3 through the last calendar day of his actual employment by the Company.

5.3 Termination for Death or Disability. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by death or because of disability pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company shall pay to the estate of the Executive or to the Executive, as the case may be, (A) within thirty (30) days of the date of the Executive’s death or determination of disability, the compensation which would otherwise be payable to the Executive up to the end of the month in which the termination of his employment because of death or disability occurs; and (B) an annual bonus in an amount equal to the total bonus he would be paid for such year, if any, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the year that have elapsed since January 1 and the denominator of which is 365, payable when bonuses are paid for that year (a “Pro Rata Bonus”). In

addition, the Company shall permit Executive or Executive’s estate or representative to exercise the vested stock option portion of the Initial Grant for a period of no less than one year after any such termination of employment.

5.4 Termination By the Executive With Good Reason or By the Company Without “Cause”. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive with Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.5 or by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4.7, the Company shall pay to the Executive the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to him under Section 3 through the last calendar day of his actual employment by the Company. In addition, provided the Executive executes and does not revoke the Separation Agreement, the Company shall: (1) continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary for twenty-four (24) months in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; (2) pay the Executive a Pro Rata Bonus; (3) pay the Executive, in bi-weekly installments, over a twenty-four month period, an amount equal in the aggregate to two (2) times the average Annual Bonus earned for the two years prior to the date of his termination (in the event Executive has not been employed for a sufficient period to earn two such bonuses, such calculation shall be made assuming Executive earned a bonus for any such year at a target level of performance (taking into account any minimum bonus amount)); (4) provide to the Executive for two (2) years following the date of his termination, payment of COBRA premiums for medical, dental, and vision benefits pursuant to plans maintained by the Company under which Executive and/or Executive’s family is eligible to receive benefits; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefits described in this subsection may be discontinued prior the end of the period, but only to the extent, that Executive receives

substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer; and (5) permit Executive to exercise the stock option portion of the Initial Grant for a period of no less than six months after the date of termination.

5.5 Termination Following a Change in Control. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.8 by the Company or by the Executive within 24 months following the Change in Control Date, as defined in the ERA, the Executive will be entitled to the benefits set forth in the ERA in accordance with the terms of the ERA.

5.6 Six Month Delay. If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Executive in connection with his employment termination is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Executive is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the date of his termination (the “New Payment Date”). In the case of welfare benefit continuation, the Company shall use its best efforts to enable Executive to obtain such benefits at Executive’s expense prior to the New Payment Date. The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Executive (or on Executive’s behalf) during the period between the date of his termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

6. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) While the Executive is employed by the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Executive’s termination or cessation of such employment for any reason, the Executive will not directly or indirectly:

(i) Engage in any business or enterprise (whether as an owner, partner, officer, employee, director, investor, lender, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 5% of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of a publicly held company) that (A) is competitive with the Company’s business and (B) develops, designs, produces, markets, sells or renders any product or service competitive with any product or service developed, produced, marketed, sold or rendered by the Company while the Executive was employed by the Company;

(ii) Either alone or in association with others, recruit or solicit any person who was employed by the Company at any time during the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company, except for an individual whose employment with the Company has been terminated for a period of six months or longer; and

(iii) Either alone or in association with others, solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or accounts, or prospective clients, customers or accounts, of the Company which were contacted, solicited or served by the Executive while he was employed by the Company.

(b) If any restriction set forth in this Section 6 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

(c) The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Executive to be reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any material breach of this Agreement will cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such material breach, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief without posting a bond.

(d) The geographic scope of this Section shall extend to anywhere the Company or any of its subsidiaries is doing business during the Term or has plans, during the Term, to do business.

(e) The Executive agrees to provide a copy of this Agreement to all person and Entities with whom the Executive seeks to be hired or do business before accepting employment or engagement with any of them.

(f) If the Executive violates the provisions of this Section, the Executive shall continue to be held by the restrictions set forth in this Section, until a period equal to the period of restriction has expired without any violation.

7. Proprietary Information and Developments.

7.1 Proprietary Information.

(a) The Executive agrees that all information, whether or not in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning the Company’s business, business relationships or financial affairs (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include discoveries, inventions, products, product improvements, product enhancements, processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions, compounds, negotiation strategies and positions, projects, developments, plans (including business and marketing plans), research data, clinical data, financial data (including sales, costs, profits and pricing methods), personnel data, computer programs (including software used pursuant to a license agreement), customer and supplier lists, and contacts at or knowledge of customers or prospective customers of the Company. Except as required by applicable law, the Executive will not disclose any Proprietary Information to any person or entity other than employees of the Company or use the same for any purposes (other than in the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company) without prior written approval from the Board of Directors or a designee of the Board of Directors, either during or after his employment with the Company, unless and until such Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by the Executive.

(b) The Executive agrees that all files, documents, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, methods, laboratory notebooks, program listings, computer equipment or devices, computer programs or other written,

photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by the Executive or others, which shall come into his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company and are to be used by the Executive only in the performance of his duties for the Company. All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the custody or possession of the Executive shall be delivered to the Company upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Company or (ii) termination of his employment. After such delivery, the Executive shall not retain any such materials or copies thereof or any such tangible property.

(c) The Executive agrees that his obligation not to disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in subsections (a) and (b) above, and his obligation to return materials and tangible property set forth in subsection (b) above, also extends to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to the Executive.

7.2 Developments.

(a) The Executive will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all inventions, creations, improvements, discoveries, trade secrets, secret processes, technology, know-how, copyrightable materials, methods, developments, software, and works of authorship or other creative works, whether patentable or not, which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by him or under his direction or jointly with others during his employment by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company (all of which are collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Developments”).

(b) The Executive agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his right, title and interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications. However, this subsection (b) shall not apply to Developments that do not relate to any business or research and development conducted or planned to be conducted by the Company at the time such Development is created, made, conceived or reduced to practice and that are made and conceived by the Executive not during normal working hours, not on the Company’s premises and not using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information. The Executive understands that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any state that precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this subsection (b) shall be interpreted not to apply to any invention that a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. The Executive also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Developments.

(c) The Executive agrees to cooperate fully with the Company and to take such further actions as may be necessary or desirable, both during and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to Developments. The Executive shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights and powers of attorney, that the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights

and interests in any Development. The Executive further agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the signature of the Executive on any such papers, the Executive Vice President of Research and Development or the General Counsel of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as the agent and the attorney-in-fact of the Executive, and the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Executive Vice President of Research and Development or the General Counsel of the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on his behalf and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development under the conditions described in this sentence.

7.3 United States Government Obligations. The Executive acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other parties or with the United States Government, or agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Executive agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions that are made known to the Executive and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements.

7.4 Other Agreements. The Executive hereby represents that, other than documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, he is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. The Executive further represents that his performance of all the terms of this

Agreement and the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by him in confidence or in trust prior to his employment with the Company and that the Executive will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or material belonging to any previous employer or others.

The book entry account reflecting the issuance of the Restricted Shares in the name of the Recipient shall bear a legend or other notation upon substantially the following terms:

“These shares of stock are subject to forfeiture provisions and restrictions on transfer set forth in a certain Restricted Stock Agreement between the corporation and the registered owner of these shares (or his or her predecessor in interest), and such Agreement is available for inspection without charge at the office of the Secretary of the corporation.”

6. Rights as a Shareholder.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for so long as the Recipient is the registered owner of the Restricted Shares, the Recipient shall have all rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, whether vested or unvested, including, without limitation, any rights to receive dividends and distributions with respect to the Restricted Shares and to vote the Restricted Shares and act in respect of the Restricted Shares at any meeting of shareholders.

7. Provisions of the Plan.

This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Recipient with this Agreement. As provided in the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event (as defined in the Plan), the rights of the Company hereunder (including the right to receive forfeited Restricted Shares) shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and, unless the Board determines otherwise, shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Restricted Shares were converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Restricted Shares under this Agreement.

8. Tax Matters.

(a) Acknowledgments; Section 83(b) Election. The Recipient acknowledges that he or she is responsible for obtaining the advice of the Recipient’s own tax advisors with respect to the acquisition of the Restricted Shares and the Recipient is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents with respect to the tax consequences relating to the Restricted Shares. The Recipient understands that the Recipient (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Recipient’s tax liability that may arise in connection with the acquisition, vesting and/or disposition of the Restricted Shares.

The Recipient acknowledges that he or she has been informed of the availability of making an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, with respect to the issuance of the Restricted Shares and that the Recipient has decided not to file a Section 83(b) election.

(b) Withholding. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient any federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Shares. On each date on which Restricted Shares vest, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Recipient of the amount of withholding taxes due with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Shares that vest on such date; provided, however, that the total tax withholding cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). The Recipient shall satisfy such tax withholding obligations by making a cash payment to the Company on the date of vesting of the Restricted Shares, in the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of such Restricted Shares.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Right to Continued Employment. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the vesting of the Restricted Shares is contingent upon his or her continued employment by the Company, this Agreement does not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or confer upon the Recipient any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws provisions.

If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event after the Grant Expiration Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the time the Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Participant, but prior to the Grant Expiration Date, the Participant materially breaches Section 6 or 7 of the Employment Agreement between the Participant and the Company dated March 1, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Participant from the Company describing such violation.

(d) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Grant Expiration Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Grant Expiration Date.

5. Nontransferability of Option.

This option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by the Participant.

6. Disqualifying Disposition.

If the Participant diposes of Shares acquired upon exercise of this option within two years from the Grant Date or one year after such Shares were acquired pursuant to exercise of this option, the Participant shall notify the Company in writing of such disposition.

You hereby irrevocably submit to and acknowledge and recognize the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or if appropriate, a federal court located in Massachusetts (which courts, for purposes of this agreement, are the only courts of competent jurisdiction), over any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of, under or in connection with this agreement or the subject matter hereof.
