(d)The Company may terminate Mr. Roberts' employment hereunder for any reason, upon 30 days' prior written notice.

In addition, a termination by Mr. Roberts shall be effective only if the Company receives notice of such termination not later than 90 days after the event constituting Good Reason occurs.

(5)Compensation Following Termination Prior to the End of the Term. In the event that Mr. Roberts' employment hereunder is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term, Mr. Roberts will be entitled only to the following compensation and benefits upon such termination (together with such other provisions that may be set forth in the option agreement):

(a)In the event that Mr. Roberts' employment hereunder is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term by reason of Mr. Roberts' death or Total Disability, pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b), the Company shall pay the following amounts to Mr. Roberts (or Mr. Roberts' estate, as the case may be), to be paid as soon as practicable following the date of such termination, but in no event prior to the time such payment would not be subject to tax under Code Section 409A:

In addition, for a period of six (6) months, beginning on the date of termination of Mr. Roberts' employment by reason of death or Total Disability, the Company will, at its expense, provide medical and group health insurance benefits to Mr. Roberts and his dependents (or just his dependents, as the case may be), which benefits shall be substantially as favorable to Mr. Roberts or his dependents as those provided to him and his dependents immediately preceding the termination of his employment, provided that Mr. Roberts co-payments or other obligations to pay for such benefits shall be substantially the same as applied at the time of his termination of employment.

(b)In the event that Mr. Roberts' employment hereunder is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term by the Company for Cause pursuant to Section 4(c) or by Mr. Roberts without Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(e), the Company shall pay the following amounts to Mr. Roberts, to be paid as soon as practicable following the date of such termination, but in no event prior to the time such payment would not be subject to tax under Section 409A of the Code;

(c)In the event that Mr. Roberts' employment hereunder is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4(d), or by Mr. Roberts with Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(e), the Company shall pay the following amounts to Mr. Roberts, to be paid as soon as practicable following the date of such termination, but in no event prior to the time such payment would not be subject to tax under Section 409A of the Code:

(d)The benefits to which Mr. Roberts may be entitled upon termination pursuant to the plans, policies and arrangements referred to in Section 3(e) will be determined and paid in accordance with the terms of those plans, policies and arrangements.

(e)Except as may be provided under this Agreement, under the terms of any incentive compensation, employee benefit, or fringe benefit plan applicable to Mr. Roberts at the time of termination of Mr. Roberts' employment prior to the end of the Term, Mr. Roberts will not be entitled to receive any other compensation, or to participate in any other plan, arrangement or benefit, with respect to any future period after the termination of his employment.

(f)This Agreement is subject to the Company's "Special Rules for Compliance with Code Section 409A Applicable to Employment Agreements," effective as of December 31, 2008, as from time to time amended or supplemented.

(g)ffect of Code Sections 4999 and 280G on Payments.

Code (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed) in connection with a change in control, then, subject to reasonable notification to Mr. Roberts and, if he so requests, discussions with his advisors, the Payments under this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount (as defined below), if reducing the Payments under this Agreement will provide Mr. Roberts with a greater net after-tax amount than would be the case if no such reduction were made. The "Reduced Amount" shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be subject to the Excise Tax, determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Only amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this Section 5(g). Payments payable in cash and having the lowest denominated value relative to the valuation of such Payments as "parachute payments" shall be reduced first.

For purposes of the determinations under this Section 5(g), Mr. Roberts shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the applicable payment is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Mr. Robert's residence, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes (unless it is impracticable for Mr. Roberts to itemize his deductions).

6.Exclusive Employment; Nonsolicitation; Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information; Surrender of Records; Inventions and Patents; Code of Ethics; Other Commitments.

(a)No Conflict; No Other Employment. During the period of Mr. Roberts' employment with the Company, Mr. Roberts shall not: (i) engage in any activity which conflicts or interferes with or derogates from the performance of Mr. Roberts' duties hereunder nor shall Mr. Roberts engage in any other business activity, whether or not such business activity is pursued for gain or profit and including service as a director of any other company, except as approved in advance in writing by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Mr. Roberts shall be entitled to manage his personal investments and otherwise attend to personal affairs, including charitable, social and political activities, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with his responsibilities hereunder, or (ii) engage in any other employment, whether as an employee or consultant or in any other capacity, and whether or not compensated therefor. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Mr. Roberts has engaged and intends to continue to engage in certain other business transactions, subject to the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors as appropriate.

In consideration of the payment by the Company to Mr. Roberts of amounts that may hereafter be paid to Mr. Roberts pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3 and 5 hereof) and other obligations undertaken by the Company hereunder, Mr. Roberts agrees that during

his employment with the Company and for a period of one year following the date of termination of his employment, Mr. Roberts shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, encourage or recruit, or attempt to solicit, encourage or recruit any of the employees, agents, consultants or representatives of the Company or any of its affiliates to terminate his, her, or its relationship with the Company or such affiliate; or (ii) solicit, encourage or recruit, or attempt to solicit, encourage or recruit, any of the employees, agents, consultants or representatives of the Company or any of its affiliates to become employees, agents, representatives or consultants of any other person or entity.

Mr. Roberts covenants that he shall not during the Term or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, use for his own purpose or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company, nor otherwise disclose, any proprietary information to any individual or entity, unless such disclosure has been authorized in writing by the Company or is otherwise required by law.

Mr. Roberts acknowledges and understands that information that is not novel or copyrighted or patented may nonetheless be proprietary information. The term "proprietary information" shall not include information generally available to and known by the public or information that is or becomes available to Mr. Roberts on a non­ confidential basis from a source other than the Company, any of its affiliates, or the directors, officers, employees, partners, principals or agents of the Company or any of its affiliates (other than as a result of a breach of any obligation of confidentiality).

(d)Confidentiality and Surrender of Records. Mr. Roberts shall not during the Term or at any time thereafter (irrespective of the circumstances under which Mr. Roberts' employment by the Company terminates), except as required by law, directly or indirectly publish, make known or in any fashion disclose any confidential records to, or permit any inspection or copying of confidential records by, any individual or entity other than in the course of such individual's or entity's employment or retention by the Company. Upon termination of employment for any reason or upon request by the Company, Mr. Roberts shall deliver promptly to the Company (without retaining any copies) all property and records of the Company or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, all confidential records. For purposes hereof, "confidential records" means all correspondence, reports, memoranda, files, manuals, books, lists, financial, operating or marketing records, magnetic tape, or electronic or other media or equipment of any kind which may be in Mr. Roberts' possession or under his control or accessible to him which contain any proprietary information.

All inventions, innovations or improvements (including policies, procedures, products, improvements, software, ideas and discoveries, whether patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, or otherwise) conceived or. made by Mr. Roberts, either alone or jointly with others, in the course of his employment by the Company, belong to the Company. Mr. Roberts will promptly disclose in writing such inventions, itmovations or improvements to the Company and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company to establish and confirm such ownership by the Company, including, but not limited to, cooperating with and assisting the Company in obtaining patents, copyrights, trademarks, or service marks for the Company

in the United States and in foreign countries.

(f)Enforcement. Mr. Roberts acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of his position, his services and access to and use of confidential records and proprietary information, any violation by him of any of the undertakings contained in this Section 6 would cause the Company and/or its affiliates immediate, substantial and irreparable injury for which it or they have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Mr. Roberts acknowledges that the Company may seek an injunction or other equitable relief by a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any violation or threatened violation of any undertaking contained in this Section 6, and consents to the entry thereof. Mr. Roberts waives posting by the Company or its affiliates of any bond otherwise necessary to secure such injunction or other equitable relief. Rights and remedies provided for in this Section 6 are cumulative and shall be in addition to rights and remedies otherwise available to the parties hereunder or under any other agreement or applicable law.

(g)Code of Ethics. Nothing in this Section 6 is intended to limit, modify or reduce Mr. Roberts' obligations under the Company's Code of Ethics. Mr. Roberts' obligations under this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, Mr. Roberts' obligations under the Code of Ethics. To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Section 6 and the Code of Ethics which would permit Mr. Roberts to take any action or engage in any activity pursuant to this Section 6 which he would be barred from taking or engaging in under the Code of Ethics, the Code of Ethics shall control.

(h)Cooperation With Regard to Litigation. Mr. Roberts agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term and thereafter (including following Mr. Roberts's termination of employment for any reason), by making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and to assist the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any such action suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, as reasonably requested. The Company agrees to reimburse Mr. Roberts, on an after-tax basis each calendar quarter, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(h) of this Agreement (including reasonable attorneys' fees) but not later than the last day of the calendar year in which the expense was incurred (or, in the case of an expense incurred in the final quarter of a calendar year, the next following February 15).

(i) Non-Disparagement. Mr. Roberts shall not, at any time during the Term and thereafter, make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Mr. Roberts from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.

(j)Release of Employment Claims. Mr. Roberts agrees, as a condition to receipt of any termination payments and benefits provided for in Section 5 of this Agreement (other than compensation accrued and payable at the date of termination without regard to termination) that he will execute a general release agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement, releasing any and all claims arising out of Mr. Roberts's employment other than enforcement of this Agreement and other than with respect to vested rights or rights provided for under any equity plan, any compensation plan or any benefit plan or arrangement of the Company or rights to indemnification under any agreement, law, Company organizational document or policy or otherwise. The Company will provide Mr. Roberts with a copy of such release simultaneously with delivery of the notice of termination, but not later than 21 days before (45 days before if Mr. Roberts's termination is part of an exit incentive or other employment termination program offered to a group or class of employees) Mr. Roberts's termination of employment.

Process in any such action or proceeding may be served by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for

the giving of notices in Section 13. Nothing in this Section 20, however, affects the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party hereto waives trial by jury.
