In the event that this Section 2(C) does not conform to Section 409A, Executive agrees that the Company may take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to bring this Section 2(C) into compliance with Section 409A, while at the same time providing Executive with substantially comparable economic benefits.

2D. Term.

(a) The Employment Period shall begin on the Closing and end on the fifth anniversary of the Closing, and shall automatically be extended at each anniversary of the Closing on the same terms and conditions set forth herein, as modified from time to time by the parties hereto, for one additional year, unless the Company or Executive gives the other party written notice of election not to so extend the Employment Period at least 60 days prior to any such extension date; provided that (i) the Employment Period shall terminate prior to such date immediately upon the death or Disability of Executive, (ii) the Employment Period may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to such date with or without Cause and (iii) the Employment Period may be terminated by Executive at any time prior to such date.

(b) If the Employment Period is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause, (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, or (iii) because the Company elects not to renew the Employment Period and as a result Executive is no longer employed by the Company or its subsidiaries on substantially the same terms as set forth herein, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Base Salary through the date of termination plus the applicable Severance Payment. The “Severance Payment” shall be calculated as follows: in the event the Employment Period is terminated on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to three (3) times the Base Salary; in the event the Employment Period is terminated after the first anniversary of the Closing, but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing, the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to two (2) times the Base Salary; and in the event the Employment Period is terminated at any time after the fourth anniversary of the Closing, or employment is terminated because the Company elects not renew the Employment Period, the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to the Base Salary. The Severance Payment shall be payable in equal monthly installments over a period of years equal to the multiplier used to determine the Severance Payment (e.g., if the Severance Payment is equal to three (3) times the Base Salary, the Severance Payment shall be payable in equal monthly installments over three (3) years). In addition, during the period over which the Severance Payment is made, Executive shall be entitled to continued health coverage on the same basis that such coverage was provided to Executive prior to the termination of the Employment Period, provided that coverage shall end earlier if and when Executive becomes entitled to comparable coverage under another employer’s health plan. As a condition to the Company’s obligations to make the Severance Payments to Executive pursuant to this Section 2D(b), Executive must (a) continue to comply with the restrictive covenants contained in Section 3. and (b) execute and deliver a general release agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.

(c) If the Employment Period is terminated for any reason other than (i) by the Company without Cause, (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, or (iii) because the Company elects not to renew the Employment Period and as a result Executive is no longer employed by the Company or its subsidiaries on substantially the same terms as set forth herein, Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary through the date of termination.

(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, all of Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits (including bonus compensation) which accrue or become payable after the termination of the Employment Period shall cease upon such termination, other than reimbursement pursuant to Section 2B(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s continued rights with respect to outstanding awards, including the Option, under the Company’s equity compensation plans shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such plans and any related agreements, and Executive’s continued rights under the terms of any compensation or benefit plans (including the Company’s vacation policy, tax-qualified and nonqualified plans, Bonus Plan and welfare plans) shall be determined under the terms of such plans, or in the case of the Executive’s deferred compensation benefit, under the terms of Section 2(C) of this agreement. The Company may offset any amounts due and payable by Executive to the Company or its subsidiaries against any amounts the Company owes Executive hereunder.

Section 3. Restrictive Covenants

3A. Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data obtained by him while providing services to the Company and its subsidiaries concerning the business or affairs of the Company, any of its subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”) are the property of the Company or such subsidiary. Therefore, Executive agrees that he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for their own purposes any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters are or become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions. Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the business of the Company, any of its subsidiaries which he may then possess or have under his control.

3B. Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges that all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by Executive while providing services the Company, its subsidiaries (“Work Product”) belong to the Company or such subsidiary. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, executing assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

3C. Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation.

(a) In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Executive hereunder, Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company he has and shall become familiar with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ trade secrets and with other Confidential Information and that his services shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its subsidiaries. Therefore, Executive has agreed that during the Employment Period and continuing for the later of (i) 12 months after termination of the Employment Period and (ii) the period during which the Severance Payment, if any, is being paid pursuant to Section 2D(b) (the “Noncompete Period”), to not directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, advise, render services for, or in any manner engage in the business of owning, operating, managing, any business that is competitive with the business which the Company or its subsidiaries conducts at the time the Employment Period is terminated.

(b) During the Employment Period and continuing for the later of (i) 24 months after termination of the Employment Period and (ii) the period during which the Severance Payment, if any, is being paid pursuant to Section 2D(b) (the “Nonsolicitation Period”), Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to leave the employ of the

6

Company or such subsidiary, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the 12-month period preceding such hiring; or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any material customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company, its subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company or such subsidiary, other than in connection with ordinary course post-termination competitive activities undertaken as permitted in Section 3C(a).

3D. Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Sections 3A, 3B, or 3C of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and because he has access to Confidential Information and Work Product, the parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Executive. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Executive, the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof. In addition, in the event of a violation by Executive of Section 3C, the Noncompete Period and the Nonsolicitation Period shall be tolled, as applicable, until such breach or violation has been duly cured. Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in Section 3C are reasonable.

Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that he has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein. In no event shall Executive be entitled to any payments, damages or other recoveries on the termination of the Employment Period, other than as set forth in Section 2D of this Agreement.
