Ownership by you, as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this paragraph.

5. Termination. You and the Company shall be free to terminate this Agreement as follows and subject to the payment obligations set forth herein:

(a) By the Company for Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate your employment hereunder at any time for “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement only, “Cause” shall be defined to include (1) material misconduct in the performance of your duties and responsibilities hereunder, (2) your material failure, refusal or inability (other than for reasons of disability) to perform your duties and responsibilities hereunder or to carry out any lawful direction of the Board of Directors, (3) breach by you of a material term of this Agreement, the Employee Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement, or any other agreement between you and the Company, (4) conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, or imprisonment for any crime; provided, however, that in the event of a potential termination for Causes 2 or 3 above, such termination may not occur until at least thirty (30) days after the Company has provided you with a detailed written notice of the ground(s) for the termination, and then only if you have failed to correct the behavior giving rise to such potential termination; (5) your material failure to comply with Company policies including but not limited to Equal Employment Opportunity and Harassment policies, Professional Conduct policy, and/or Code of Business Conduct and Ethics policy; and (6) your violation of any statutory or fiduciary duty owed to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of a termination for Cause pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall only be obligated to pay you (i) your Base Salary through the date of your termination, (ii) your accrued but unused vacation, (iii) any earned, but unpaid, performance bonus described in Section 3(b) with respect to the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which your employment is terminated, based on the achievement of the performance milestones established for such calendar year in accordance with Section 3(b), as determined by the Board of Directors, and (iv) such other benefits and payments to which you may be entitled by law or pursuant to the benefit plans of the Company then in effect (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”).

Carlos Riva

June 20, 2007

(b) Death; Disability. Your employment hereunder shall terminate in the event of your death and in the event that you shall be prevented, by illness, accident, disability or any other physical or mental condition (to be determined by means of a written opinion of a competent medical doctor chosen by mutual agreement of the Company and you or your personal representative), from substantially performing your duties and responsibilities hereunder for one or more periods totaling ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period. In the event of a termination of your employment pursuant to this paragraph, you or your estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive payment of the Accrued Obligations.

(c) Termination by the Company Other Than for Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate your employment hereunder at any time other than for Cause. In the event of a termination by Company pursuant to this paragraph, you shall be entitled to receive payment of the Accrued Obligations and the following severance pay and related benefits:

(i) the Company will pay you severance pay in the amount of your then-current Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months after your termination date, minus required withholdings, which severance payments will be made to you on the Company’s normal payroll cycle;

(ii) the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may elect to pay to you a pro rated bonus for the year in which your employment is terminated, but any such payment shall be in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee;

(iii) should you elect to continue your group health and dental insurance benefits in accordance with the provisions of COBRA following the date of your termination, the Company shall pay the full premium for such health and dental insurance continuation benefits for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination date; and

(iv) notwithstanding the terms of any stock option grants and/or restricted stock awards, the vesting of all options to purchase Company stock held by you will automatically accelerate such that, effective on the date of such termination, you will be deemed vested in the same number of option shares as if you had remained employed by the Company for a period of period of twelve (12) months following the date of termination and all restricted stock held by you that would otherwise vest over the twelve (12) months following the date of termination shall automatically and immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture or a right to repurchase by the Company.

Your right to receive such severance pay, stock and/or option accelerated vesting benefits, and related benefits as set forth in this paragraph 5(c) shall be contingent upon (x) your compliance with all of your obligations under this Agreement and the Employee Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement, and (y) your delivery to the Company of a fully effective general release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such other form as may be specified by the Company.

(d) Termination by You for Good Reason. In the event that you resign your employment with Company at any time, by providing to the Company a written notice of resignation within sixty (60) days following an event constituting “Good Reason,” as that phrase is defined below, your resignation shall be deemed to be a termination of your employment by the Company other than for Cause pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above, in which event both you and the Company shall have your respective rights and obligations in the event of such a termination. In the event that you do not send the Company a written notice of resignation pursuant to this paragraph within sixty (60) days following an event constituting Good Reason, your rights under this paragraph 5(d) shall cease. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions by the Company without your consent: (i) your demotion to a position other than President and Chief Executive Officer, or a material reduction in your duties or responsibilities as described in Section 2 of this Agreement, (ii) a material reduction in your Base Salary, provided, however, that a reduction in your Base Salary shall not constitute Good Reason if it is made in connection with an across-the-board reduction of all senior executives’ annual base salaries, (iii) material reduction of your ability to participate in the Company’s fringe and benefit plans, other than any reduction that is part of a general reduction or other concessionary arrangement affecting all senior officers, (iv) the Company requires you to permanently relocate your office to a location outside the geographic area described in Section 2 of this Agreement; or (v) any other conduct that constitutes a breach by the Company of a material term of this Agreement, or any other written agreement between the Company and you; provided that in the event of a termination for Good Reason, such termination may not occur until at least thirty (30) days after you have provided the Company with a detailed written notice of the ground(s) for termination, and then only if the Company has failed to correct the behavior giving rise to such potential termination.

(e) Termination by You for Any Other Reason. You shall have the right to terminate your employment hereunder at any time for any reason not otherwise covered by paragraph 5(d) by providing ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Company. In the event of a termination by you pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall only be obligated to pay you the Accrued Obligations. The Company shall be obligated, however, to continue to pay your full compensation as described in Section 3 hereof up to and through the expiration of the ninety (90) day notice period.

6. Specific Performance. You recognize and agree that the Company’s remedy at law for breach of the Employee Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement would be inadequate, and further agree that, for breach of such provisions, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and to enforce its rights by an action for specific performance.

7. Payment of Legal Fees; Certain Tax Issues.

(a) Legal Fees. The Company shall reimburse you for reasonable documented legal fees incurred by you in connection with the execution and negotiation of this Agreement, up to a maximum of $5,000.

(b) Withholding. All payments made to you pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with your employment shall be subject to the usual withholding practices of the Company and will be made in compliance with existing federal and state requirements regarding the withholding of tax.

(c) Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. If the Company determines that any of the severance benefits provided by this Agreement in Section 5 fail to satisfy the distribution requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, the payment of such benefit shall be accelerated to the minimum extent necessary so that the benefit is not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. (It is the intention of the preceding sentence to apply the short-term deferral provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations and other guidance thereunder, to the Severance Benefits payments, and the payment schedule as revised after the application of the preceding sentence shall be referred to as the “Revised Payment Schedule.”) However, if there is no Revised Payment Schedule that would avoid the application of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, the payment of such benefits shall not be paid pursuant to a Revised Payment Schedule and instead shall be delayed to the minimum extent necessary so that such benefits are not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Board may attach conditions to or adjust the amounts paid pursuant to Section 8(c) to preserve, as closely as possible, the economic consequences that would have applied in the absence of this Section 4.4.4; provided, however, that no such condition or adjustment shall result in the payments being subject to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(d) Parachute Payment. In the event the benefits provided by this Agreement, when aggregated with any other payments or benefits received by you, would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Executive elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s stock awards unless the Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation.

The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, then the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Executive and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which the Executive’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Executive or the Company) or such other time as requested by the Executive or the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Executive and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Executive and the Company.

8. Continuation of Employment. You understand, acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not create an obligation for the Company or any other person to continue your employment and, subject to your right to receive compensation and benefits as provided in Section 5, you will be an at-will employee and the Company may terminate your employment at any time subject to any notice provisions set forth in this Agreement.

9. Choice of Law. This Agreement, and all disputes arising under or related to it, shall be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

10. Arbitration. All disputes arising out of this Agreement (other than initial applications for injunctive relief under the Employee Invention Agreement) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts under the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes employing a single arbitrator selected upon mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitrator will have the power to award any types of legal or equitable relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction, including an award of attorneys’ fee and costs to the prevailing party. Each party will be responsible for their own costs and attorney’s fees, other than the costs for AAA and the single arbitrator, which shall be borne by the Company.

11. Assignment. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of you and the Company hereunder, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon, you, your heirs and representatives, and upon the Company and the Company’s successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by you. Any assignment in contravention of this Section 12 shall be null and void.

Carlos Riva

June 20, 2007

12. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting or reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.

13. Consultation with Counsel; No Representations. You agree and acknowledge that you have had a full and complete opportunity to consult with counsel of your own choosing concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this Agreement. Both you and the Company acknowledge that neither party has made any representations or warranties to the other party concerning the terms, enforceability or implications of this Agreement other than as are reflected in this Agreement.

14. No Mitigation; No Set Off. In the event of any termination of employment hereunder, you shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against any amounts due to you under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that you may obtain.

15. Company Representations. The Company represents and warrants that it is duly authorized to enter into this Agreement, that there is no law, agreement or other legal restriction on its entering into this Agreement, that its Board has approved this Agreement and that the officer signing this Agreement is duly authorized and empowered to sign this Agreement on behalf of the Company

16. Effect of Agreement on Other Benefits. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of this Agreement shall not prohibit or restrict your entitlement to full participation in the employee benefit and other plans or programs in which comparable senior executives of the Company are eligible to participate.

17. Integration. This Agreement and the documents attached hereto set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous conflicting agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, understandings, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any party hereto (or representative of either party hereto).

18. Modification; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, amended, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification, amendment or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and the Chairman of the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

This general release includes, but is not limited to: (1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to my compensation or benefits from the Company, including, but not limited to, salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in the Company; (3) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including, but not limited to, claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (5) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including, but not limited to, claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (“ADEA”), the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended), the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practice Act, the Massachusetts law prohibiting age discrimination, the Massachusetts Equal Rights Act, the Massachusetts Sexual Harassment law, and the Massachusetts Equal Pay Law.

I acknowledge that, among other rights, I am waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA, that this Release and Waiver is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this Release and Waiver is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled as an executive of the Company. If I am 40 years of age or older upon execution of this Release and Waiver, I further acknowledge that I have been advised, as required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, that: (a) the release and waiver granted herein does not relate to claims under the ADEA which may arise after this Release and Waiver is executed; (b) I should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release and Waiver; (c) I have twenty-one (21) days in which to consider this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily to execute this Release and Waiver earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this Release and Waiver to revoke my consent to this Release and Waiver; and (e) this Release and Waiver shall not be effective until the eighth day after I execute this Release and Waiver and the revocation period has expired.

I acknowledge my continuing obligations under my Employee Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”). Pursuant to the NDA I understand that among other things, I must not use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information of the Company and I must immediately return all Company property and documents (including all embodiments of proprietary information) and all copies thereof in my possession or control. I understand and agree that my right to the severance pay I am receiving in exchange for my agreement to the terms of this Release and Waiver is contingent upon my continued compliance with the NDA.

This Release and Waiver constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Company and me with regard to the subject matter hereof. I am not relying on any promise or representation by the Company that is not expressly stated herein. This Release and Waiver may only be modified by a writing signed by both me and a duly authorized officer of the Company.
