In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive designating the calendar year of payment of any amounts of deferred compensation subject to Code § 409A, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.

(c) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Code § 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified in this Agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Executive from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Federal Drug Administration, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Congress, and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in such communications, respond to such inquiries, provide confidential information or documents to the Regulators, or make any such reports or disclosures to the Regulators. The Executive is not required to notify the Company that the Executive has engaged in such communications with the Regulators. If the Executive is required by law to disclose Proprietary Information, other than to Regulators as described above, the Executive shall give prompt written notice to the Company so as to permit the Company to protect its interests in confidentiality to the extent possible.

The Executive agrees that all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, reports, and all similar or related information which relates to the Company’s or its Affiliates’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed, created, or made by Executive, alone or with others, whether or not patentable, registerable, or copyrightable, while employed by the Company (“Work Product”) belong to the Company. The Executive will promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Term) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorneys, applications for and procuring patents, trademarks, service marks, or copyrights, and other instruments as the Company, in its sole discretion, may request). Executive agrees to give the Company all assistance it may reasonably require, including the giving of testimony in any suit, action, investigation, or other proceeding, to obtain, maintain, and protect the Company’s rights in the Work Product. Executive agrees as a condition of employment to sign and be bound by the Company’s standard Inventions Assignment Agreement.

In such event, the Company may require that the Executive repay all amounts theretofore paid to him pursuant to Section 6 hereof; and in such case, the Executive shall promptly repay such amounts on the terms determined by the Company up to a maximum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00).

(j) The provisions of this Section 14 and Section 15 below shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment or the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of six months.

15. Legal and Equitable Remedies.

(a) Because the Executive’s services are personal and unique and the Executive has had and will continue to have access to and has become and will continue to become acquainted with the proprietary information of the Company and its Affiliates, and because any breach by the Executive of any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 14 would result in irreparable injury and damage for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, the Executive agrees that Company shall have the right to enforce Section 14 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 14. The Executive expressly consents to enforcement of Section 14 by means of temporary or permanent injunction and other appropriate equitable relief in any competent court or arbitration tribunal, and agrees that in any action in which the Company seeks injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, the Executive will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of Section 14 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable.

(b) Any and all disputes arising under or relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement or concerning Executive’s employment with the Company or termination of employment shall be subject to final and binding arbitration in the Chicago, Illinois under the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association relating to employment matters. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The cost of arbitration and Executive’s legal expenses shall be borne by the Company. Nothing contained in this subsection (b) shall limit the right of the Company to enforce by court injunction or other equitable relief the Executive’s obligations under Section 14. In any court proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the parties (1) irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for Northern District of Illinois or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, to any court of general jurisdiction in Illinois and (2) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any such court.

(c) Indemnification. In addition to any rights Executive may have under the Company’s charter or by-laws, the Company agrees to indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless, both during the Term and after the Term or Termination for any reason, of this Agreement, against all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, fines, taxes and attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with any claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought against or involving Executive with respect to, arising out of or in any way relating to Executive’s employment with the Company or Executive’s service as a director of the Company. Executive shall promptly notify the Company of any claim, action, proceeding or investigation under this paragraph and the Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense with counsel selected by the Company; provided that Executive shall have the right to employ counsel to represent him (at the Company’s expense) if Company counsel would have a “conflict of interest” in representing both the Company and Executive. The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim, action, proceeding or investigation without Executive’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if the settlement entails only the payment of money and the Company fully indemnifies Executive in connection therewith. The Company further agrees to advance any and all expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation. The Company, as soon as reasonably possible, will maintains a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering Executive and, notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Company shall maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering Executive for a period of time following such expiration or earlier termination equal to the statute of limitations for any claim that may be asserted against Executive for which coverage is available under such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. All provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

16. Survival. The respective rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 14 and 15, shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment or termination or expiration of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

17. No Mitigation or Set Off. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced, regardless of whether the Executive obtains other employment. During the pendency of any claim between the Company and Executive, the Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder with respect to any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Executive or others, may be determined on an interlocutory basis by a competent court or arbitration tribunal.

18. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement or necessary or convenient in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when hand delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, as follows (provided that notice of change of address shall be deemed given only when received):

Successors of the Company shall include, without limitation, any company or companies acquiring, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, lease, or otherwise, and such successor shall thereafter be deemed “the Company” for the purpose of this Section 21.

Neither party shall be bound by any term or condition other than as is expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Executive represents and agrees that she fully understands her right to discuss all aspects of this Agreement with her private attorney, that to the extent she desired Executive availed himself of this right, that Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of the Agreement, that Executive is competent to execute this Agreement, that her decision to execute this Agreement has not been obtained by any duress, that Executive freely and voluntarily enters into this Agreement, and that Executive has read this document in its entirety and fully understands the meaning, intent, and consequences of this Agreement.

24. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or application in any other jurisdiction. If any provision is held void, invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances.
