4. TERMINATION

4.1 Circumstances of Termination. This Agreement and the relationship between Company and Executive may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term only as follows:

4.1.1 Death. This Agreement shall terminate upon Executive’s death, effective as of the date of Executive’s death.

4.1.2 Disability. Company may, at its sole discretion, either suspend compensation payments due under Section 3.1 or terminate this Agreement due to Executive’s Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean circumstances in which Executive is incapable of performing the Services, after Company has made or attempted to provide reasonable accommodations to Executive as required by applicable law, because of accident, injury, or physical or mental illness for sixty (60) consecutive days, or is unable or shall have failed to perform the Services for a total period of ninety (90) days, regardless of whether such days are consecutive. If Company suspends compensation payments because of Executive’s Disability; Company shall resume compensation payments when Executive resumes performance of the Services. If Company elects to terminate this Agreement due to Executive’s Disability; it will give Executive not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice.

4.1.3 For Cause. Company may terminate this Agreement, without advance notice, for Cause. Company’s exercise of its right to terminate for Cause under this Section shall be without prejudice to any other remedy to which Company may be entitled at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion:

(i) Executive’s indictment for (or procedural equivalent) or conviction of, or pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude or misrepresentation;

(ii) Executive’s willful failure or refusal to carry out the reasonable and lawful directions of the Board concerning duties or actions consistent with the Executive’s position;

(iii) Executive’s willful misconduct (by act or omission) against the Company constituting fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or breach of fiduciary duty;

(iv) Executive’s gross or willful misconduct resulting in substantial loss to the Company or substantial damage to the Company’s reputation;

5

(v) Executive’s material and willful violation of any material reasonable rules, regulations, policies, directions or restrictions of the Company regarding employee conduct; or

(vi) Executive’s willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

For such purpose, no act or omission to act by Executive shall be “willful” if conducted in good faith and with a reasonable belief that such act or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any determination of Cause by the Company will be made by a resolution approved by a majority of the members of the Board (not counting Executive as a Board member for this purpose), provided that no such determination (other than under clause (i)) may be made until Executive has been given written notice detailing the specific Cause event, an opportunity to appear before the Board to refute such finding (with the assistance of counsel), and a period of fifteen (15) days following such appearance to cure such event (if susceptible to cure) to the satisfaction of the Board.

4.1.4 Without Cause. This Agreement may be terminated without Cause at any time by Company upon thirty (30) days advanced written notice to Executive. Any termination of Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s death or Disability pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 shall not be considered a termination by the Company without Cause.

4.1.5 Voluntary Termination. This Agreement may be terminated for any reason at any time by Executive upon thirty (30) days advanced written notice to Company.

4.1.6 Good Reason. Executive’s employment may be terminated by Executive for Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, without Executive’s express consent:

(i) A material diminution in Executive’s position, duties, authority or responsibilities, including any failure to nominate or to re-nominate Executive to the Board;

(ii) a material reduction in Executive’s base salary and/or target incentive compensation opportunity, unless consistent with similar adjustments for all other executive officers;

(iii) a requirement that Executive report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board;

(iv) the issuance by Company of a notice of nonrenewal of the Term pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement; or

(v) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by Company of this Agreement.

6

A termination by Executive shall not constitute termination for Good Reason unless Executive shall first have delivered to Company written notice setting forth with specificity the occurrence deemed to give rise to a right to terminate for Good Reason (which notice must be given no later than thirty (30) days after the initial occurrence of such event), and there shall have passed thirty (30) days within which Company has not taken any action to correct, rescind or otherwise substantially reverse the occurrence supporting termination for Good Reason as identified by Executive, and Executive terminates his employment within six (6) months after the initial occurrence of such event. Good Reason shall not include any action resulting from Executive’s death or Disability. The parties intend, believe and take the position that a resignation by Executive for Good Reason as defined above effectively constitutes an involuntary separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Treas. Reg §1.409A-1(n)(2).

4.1.7 Change in Control Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of Company shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) Any “person” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

(ii) Consummation of a sale or disposition by Company of all or substantially all of Company’s assets;

(iii) Consummation of a merger or consolidation of Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

(iv) The shareholders of Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of Company.

Company and Executive agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute with any party (including Company’s affiliates, successors, predecessors, contractors, employees and agents) that may arise out of this Agreement, or Executive’s employment with Company or the termination thereof, shall be submitted for resolution by mandatory, binding arbitration in Southfield, Michigan, or another agreed-upon location, in accordance with the Employment Dispute Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et. seq. The arbitration requirement applies to all statutory, contractual and/or common law claims including, but not limited to, claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Action of 1964; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Fair Labor Standards Act; and the Americans with Disabilities Act. If there is a dispute as to whether an issue or claim is arbitrable, the arbitrator will have the authority to resolve any such dispute, including claims as to fraud in the inducement or execution, or claims as to validity, construction, interpretation or enforceability. Both Company and Executive shall be precluded from bringing or raising in court or any other forum any dispute that was required by the Agreement to have been submitted to binding arbitration. This arbitration requirement does not apply to claims for workers’ compensation benefits, claims arising under ERISA (29 U.S.C. §§ 1001, et seq.), or to claims expressly excluded from arbitration by statute. This arbitration requirement does not prohibit either party from seeking and obtaining from a court injunctive or equitable remedies necessary to maintain (or restore) the status quo or to prevent irreversible or irreparable harm, including such relief set forth in Section 12.6; in addition, either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement or to enforce an arbitration award (which action to enforce an arbitration award may be filed in any court of competent jurisdiction). There will be no right or authority for any claim subject to arbitration to be heard or arbitrated on a class or collective basis, as a private attorney general, or in a representative capacity on behalf of any other person or entity. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to or to modify the terms described in this Section, shall apply all applicable law, and shall have no lesser and no greater remedial authority than would a court of law resolving the same claim or controversy.

9.4 Payment of Costs and Fees. Where required by law, Company shall pay all additional costs peculiar to the arbitration to the extent such costs would not otherwise be incurred in a court proceeding (for instance, Company will, if required, pay the arbitrator’s fees to the extent it exceeds Court filing fees). Each party shall pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees in the first instance. However, the arbitrator may award costs and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party to the extent permitted by law. The arbitrator shall apply the same standard with respect to the awarding of fees and costs as would be awarded if such claim had been asserted in state or federal court.

10. CODE SECTION 409A

10.1 General. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements Section 409A of the Code and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code.

10.2 Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder, or a different form of payment would be effected, by reason of a Change in Control or Executive’s Disability or termination of employment, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to Executive, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or termination of employment, as the case may be, meet any description or definition of “change in control event”, “disability” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation upon a Change in Control, Disability or termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, such payment or distribution shall be made on the date, if any, on which an event occurs that constitutes a Code Section 409A-compliant “change in control event”, “disability” or “separation from service,” as the case may be, or such later date as may be required by Section 10.3 below. If this provision prevents the application of a different form of payment of any amount or benefit, such payment shall be made in the same form as would have applied absent such designated event or circumstance.

10.3 Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Executive’s separation from service during a period in which he is a “specified employee” (as defined Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes):

16

(i) the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from service (or, if Executive dies during such period, within 30 days after Executive’s death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and

(ii) the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period.

10.4 Treatment of Installment Payments. Each payment of termination benefits under Section 4 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, each installment payment, shall be considered a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

10.5 Timing of Release of Claims. Whenever in this Agreement the provision of payment or benefit is conditioned on Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, such release, must be executed, and all revocation periods shall have expired, within 60 days after the date of termination of Executive’s employment; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, and if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the payment or benefit shall not be made or commence before the second such calendar year, even if the release becomes irrevocable in the first such calendar year. In other words, Executive is not permitted to influence the calendar year of payment based on the timing of his signing of the release.

10.6 Timing of Reimbursements and In-kind Benefits. If Executive is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for any taxable expenses under this Agreement, and such payments or reimbursements are includible in Executive’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 of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. Executive’s rights to payment or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 or 4.2 shall expire on the earlier of one year after the termination of this Agreement or 10 years after the Effective Date. No right of Executive to reimbursement of expenses under Sections 3.2 or 4.2 or any other Section of this Agreement shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

10.7 Permitted Acceleration. Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution to Executive of Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation payable hereunder, provided that such distribution(s) are permissible under and meet the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

11. CHANGE IN CONTROL TAX PROVISION

11.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payment to Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to Executive of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net benefit to Executive if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made in such a manner as to maximize the economic present value of all Payments actually made to Executive, determined by the Determination Firm (as defined in Section 11.2 below) as of the date of the Change in Control using the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

11.2 The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts referred to Section 11.1 (i) and (ii) above shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to Company and Executive (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments which Executive was entitled to, but did not receive pursuant to Section 11.1, could have been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”). In such event, the Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Company to or for the benefit of Executive, but no later than March 15 of year following the year in which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Notices. Notice under this Agreement shall be sufficient only if hand delivered or if personally delivered by a major commercial paid delivery courier service or mailed by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and postage pre-paid) to the other party at its address set forth in the signature block below or to such other address as may be designated by either party in writing.

18

12.2 Agreement Controls. Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Company’s policies, procedures and practices shall govern the relationship between Executive and Company. If, however, any of Company’s policies, procedures and/or practices conflict with this Agreement (together with any amendments hereto), this Agreement (and any amendments hereto) shall control.

12.3 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified and the observance of any provision may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively) only by written consent of the parties. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that party’s right to enforce such provision.

12.4 Force Majeure. Either party shall be temporarily excused from performing under this Agreement if any force majeure or other occurrence beyond the reasonable control of either party makes such performance impossible, except a Disability as defined in this Agreement, provided that the party subject to the force majeure provides notice of such force majeure at the first reasonable opportunity. Under such circumstances, performance under this Agreement that related to the delay shall be suspended for the duration of the delay provided the delayed party shall resume performance of its obligations with due diligence once the delaying event subsides. In case of any such suspension, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the cause and effect of such suspension.

12.5 Remedies. Executive acknowledges that because of the nature of Company’s business, and the fact that the services to be performed by Executive pursuant to this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual character that give them a peculiar value, a breach of this Agreement shall cause substantial injury to Company for which money damages cannot reasonably be ascertained and for which money damages would be inadequate. Executive therefore agrees that Company shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief, including the right to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by Arbitration having equity jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies that Company may have.

12.6 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, paragraph, or condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so this Agreement shall otherwise remain enforceable in full force and effect.

12.7 Construction. Headings and captions are only for convenience and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the context requires, words, used in the singular shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, and pronouns of any gender shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender.

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterpart copies, each of which shall represent an original document, and all of which shall constitute a single document.

19

12.9 No Adverse Construction. The rule that a contract is to be construed against the party drafting the contract is hereby waived, and shall have no applicability in construing this Agreement or the terms hereof.

12.10 Entire Agreement. With respect to its subject matter, namely, the employment by Company of Executive, this Agreement and all exhibits hereto (including the documents expressly incorporated herein, such as the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics) contain the entire understanding between the parties, and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, and communications between the parties, whether oral, written, implied or otherwise.

12.11 Assistance of Counsel. Executive expressly acknowledges that he was advised he has the right to be represented by counsel of his own choosing in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the terms of this Agreement, that he has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his own choice concerning this Agreement, and that he has read and understands the Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely based on his own judgment and not on any representations or promises other than those contained in this Agreement.

12.12 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

12.13 Payment of Taxes. To the extent that any taxes become payable by Executive by virtue of any payments made or benefits conferred by Company, Company shall not be liable to pay or obligated to reimburse Executive for any such taxes or to make any adjustment under this Agreement. Any payments otherwise due under this Agreement to Executive shall be reduced by any required withholding for Federal, State and/or local taxes and other appropriate payroll deductions.

EXHIBIT A

RELEASE AGREEMENT LANGUAGE

In consideration for this severance compensation, Executive, upon accepting such severance payment, on behalf of himself, his agents, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, expressly and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Company and its successors and assigns, and all of their respective agents, Directors, officers, owners, partners, employees, representatives, insurers, attorneys, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint venturers, and each of them, past and present, from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, rights, or damages of any kind or nature which he may now have, or ever have, whether known or unknown, based upon acts or events that occurred on or before the date on which Executive accepts the severance compensation, including any claims, causes of action or demands of any nature arising out of or in any way relating to his employment with, or separation from the Company on or before the date of the execution of this Agreement.

Executive acknowledges that the benefits he is receiving in exchange for this Release are more than the benefits to which he otherwise would have been entitled, and that such benefits constitute valid and adequate consideration for this Release. Executive further acknowledges that he has read this Release, understands all of its terms, and has consulted with counsel of his choosing before signing this Agreement.
