5.     Pre-Existing Obligations and Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Employer and Employee and the Company regarding eligibility for and the payment of separation or severance benefits, and supersedes any and all prior representations and agreements regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. However, this Agreement does not modify, amend or supersede written Employer or Company agreements that are consistent with enforceable provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, the Equity Agreements, the Management Stockholders Agreement dated April 6, 2011 between the Employee, the Company and certain other stockholders of the Company, and the Restrictive Covenants.

(a)    Enforcement of Restrictive; Covenants. Without limiting the Company’s rights under the Employment Agreement and the Equity Agreements:

i.Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. In the event Employee breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants in the Employer’s and Company’s sole discretion, the Employer and the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, which shall be independent of any others and severally enforceable, and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Employer and the Company at law or in equity:

(A)    the right and remedy to enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, and without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond, Employee from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Employer and the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Employer or the Company; and

(B)    the right and remedy to require Employee to account for and pay over to the Employer and/or the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Employee as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants; and

ii.    Severability. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Restrictive Covenants shall be considered and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any part or provision of any Restrictive Covenant be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other Restrictive Covenant or any other part or provision of this Agreement.

iii.     Reformation. If any portion of any Restrictive Covenant is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction for any reason, the invalid or unreasonable term shall be redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of the Employer, the Company and Employee in agreeing to the provisions of this Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.

(a) In accordance with Sections 4(g) and 25(c) of the Employment Agreement, the provision of payment or benefit set forth in Section 2 are conditioned on Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a waiver and release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), and the Release must be executed, and all revocation periods must have expired, within sixty (60) days after the Separation Date.

Any payments or benefits that would have been

paid prior to the Effective Date but for this Section 7(a) shall be paid or provided by the Company prior to the sixtieth (60^th) day following the Separation Date.

(b)    As of the date hereof, Employee represents and warrants that there are no pending or, to his knowledge, threatened claims, disputes, charges, litigation or similar actions initiated by, or otherwise related to his employment or otherwise relating to Employees and any employees or other service providers, suppliers or vendors of the Company or any of its affiliates.

In the event that the Employer prevails in such an action, the Employer will be entitled to all remedies authorized by applicable law.

(b)    All Other Claims.

or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient Party shall have specified by prior written notice to the sending Party. Any notice under this Agreement will be deemed to have been given when so delivered or sent or, if mailed, five days after deposit in the U.S. mail.

(a)Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such

invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that there have been no offers or inducements which have led to the execution of this Agreement other than as stated herein.

(c)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.

(d)Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee, the Employer, the Company and their respective successors and assigns provided that the rights and obligations of Employee under this Agreement shall not be assignable.

(e)Choice of Law; Forum. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits hereto will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida.

(f)Remedies. Each of the Parties to this Agreement will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and costs (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The Parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any Party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

(g)Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Employer, the Company and Employee.

(i)Cooperation. Employee agrees to cooperate with and assist the Employer and the Company by providing information relevant to matters as to which Employee gained knowledge while employed, including, without limitation, all matters involving litigation, and that, upon request and reasonable notice from the Employer and/or the Company, Employee will voluntarily, and without additional payment or requiring a subpoena or other process, meet with the Employer’s and/or the Company’s attorneys and other representatives, appear at hearings, depositions, trials, and other proceedings relating to such matters, and provide truthful written statements and testimony relating to such matters. The Employer and/or the Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses necessitated by Employee’s cooperation under this Section 10(i). If Employee is entitled to be reimbursed for any taxable expenses under this Section 10(i), and such payments or reimbursements are includible in Employee’s federal gross taxable income, the amount of such expenses reimbursable in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount reimbursable in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than December 31^st of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. Employee’s rights to

payment or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section 10(i) shall expire at the end of five (5) years after the Separation Date. No right of Employee to reimbursement of expenses under this Section 10(i) shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(j)Effective Date and Revocation. Employee shall have twenty-one (21) days to consider the Release prior to signing it. This Agreement will be enforceable and effective on the eighth (8 ^th) day after Employee signs the Release and returns it to the Employer and the Company (the “Effective Date”); provided that, upon delivery of a timely notice of revocation of the Release, this Agreement will be null and void, and neither the Employer, the Company nor Employee will have rights or obligations under it.

The Release may not be revoked on or after the Effective Date. Employee agrees that, with the exception of an action to challenge Employee’s waiver of claims under the ADEA, should Employee ever attempt to revoke, rescind, void, or challenge this Agreement or the Release or if Employee ever attempts to make, assert, or prosecute any Claims included in the Release, Employee will as a condition precedent, (i) return any and all payments made to him under Section 2 of this Agreement, plus interest at the highest legal rate, and (ii) forfeit all shares and options received in connection with the vesting under Section 4 of this Agreement (and the proceeds from any sale of such shares (or the shares received upon exercise of options), plus interest at the highest legal rate). Furthermore, with the exception of an action to challenge Employee’s waiver of claims under the ADEA, if Employee does not prevail in an action to challenge this Agreement or the Release, to obtain an order declaring this Agreement to be null and void, or in any action against the Employer, the Company or any other Releasee (as defined in the Release) based upon a Claim which is covered by the Release, Employee shall pay to the Employer, the Company and/or the appropriate Releasee all their costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in their defense of Employee’s action. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Employer’s or the Company’s right to seek and obtain other remedies for breach of this Agreement or the Release.

(k)    Section 409A. This Agreement and the Employment Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with Section 25 of the Employment Agreement and, in all cases, so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder (or thereunder) shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and any applicable transition relief under Section 409A of the Code) (“Section 409A”). Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the amounts or benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Each installment payment under Section 2 of this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) for purposes of Section 409A. No Releasee nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Employee or any person or entity as a result of the application of Section 409A.
