§3. TERM.  The term of employment of the Employee hereunder shall commence on April 1, 2007 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall continue until March 31, 2008 (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated pursuant to §6, and shall be renewed automatically for additional one (1) year terms thereafter unless terminated by either party by written notice to the other party given at least  ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current term.

§4. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.  During the term of the Employee’s employment hereunder, in consideration for the services of the Employee hereunder, the Employer shall compensate the Employee as follows:

(b) Management Incentive Bonus.  The Employee shall be eligible to receive from the Employer, for each of the fiscal years of the Employer ended after the date hereof, a management incentive bonus (the “Incentive Bonus”) in an amount up to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Salary for such fiscal year, in accordance with an incentive bonus plan to be adopted by the Board prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter for each such fiscal year.  In accordance with applicable Federal law, the Incentive Bonus, if any, will be paid by the March 15 following the fiscal year during which the Employee becomes vested in his or her Incentive Bonus.

(iii) Except as otherwise set forth in this §6(e), the Employee shall not be entitled to any severance or other compensation after termination.

(iv) An employee experiences a “Separation from Service” if the employee dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment with the Employer, within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 409A.  A “Separation from Service” shall occur if the Employee ceases to perform significant services for the Employer (for example, if the annual level of services and remuneration are reduced to less than twenty percent (20%) [or less than fifty percent (50%), if the Employee becomes an independent contractor] of average prior levels,  based on the last three full calendar years of employment (or the actual employment period, if shorter).

(v) A “Separation from Service” shall not occur if the Employee is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Employee’s right to reemployment with the Employer is provided either by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Employee’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, a “Separation from Service” is deemed to occur on the first date immediately following such six-month period.

§7. INVENTIONS; ASSIGNMENT.  All rights to discoveries, inventions, improvements and innovations (including all data and records pertaining thereto) related to the Employer’s business, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that the Employee may discover, invent or originate during the term of his employment hereunder, and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, either alone or with others and whether or not during working hours or by the use of the facilities of the Employer (“Inventions”), shall be the exclusive property of the Employer.  The Employee shall promptly disclose all Inventions to the Employer, shall execute at the request of the Employer any assignments or other documents the Employer may deem necessary to protect or perfect its rights therein, and shall assist the Employer, at the

Employer’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Employer’s rights therein.  The Employee hereby appoints the Employer as his attorney-in-fact to execute on his behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by the Employer to protect or perfect its rights to any Inventions.
