The material terms (including performance goals), conditions and percentage payout of such

incentive bonus hereunder shall be no less favorable to the Employee than the incentive bonuses established for “C level executives” as such term is defined in the sole discretion of the Board. All incentive bonus payments will be paid no later than the 15th day of the second month after the end of the calendar year in which such incentive bonus payment was earned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Employee shall not be eligible for an incentive bonus payment with respect to (a) 2010 if it is determined that he is eligible to receive his portion of the 2010 Bonus pursuant to the Performance Bonus Agreement (in which case, the Employee shall instead receive a bonus of $75,000 payable on July 31, 2011) or (b) 2011 if it is determined that he is eligible to receive his portion of the 2011 Bonus pursuant to the Performance Bonus Agreement and any incentive bonus payment shall not be payable with respect to 2010 or 2011 prior to the final determination of such eligibility.

4.5 Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for any and all reasonable expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties under this Agreement which are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses (“Reimbursable Expenses”), subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of expenses. All reimbursements shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but at least by the earlier of ninety (90) days following the date on which such Reimbursable Expenses were submitted for reimbursement or the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Reimbursable Expenses were incurred. In addition, no reimbursement shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount available for reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the amount available for reimbursement in a subsequent calendar year. Termination of Employee’s employment hereunder shall not affect Employee’s right to be reimbursed for any Reimbursable Expenses incurred by Employee before such termination.

4.6 Other Incentive Compensation. The Employee shall be entitled to the following additional compensation:

4.6.1 In the event that, after the Effective Date, the Board directs the Company to file, and the Company files a utility patent application in the United States naming Employee as an inventor (other than a provisional patent application, and expressly excluding continuation, continuation in part, divisional, foreign or other applications claiming priority to such utility patent application ) with respect to any invention that is subject to Section 7 of this Agreement (each, an “Eligible Application”), the Company shall pay the Employee a bonus of $10,000 within 30 days after such application is filed.

4.6.2 In the event that a patent issues in the United States on an Eligible Application (each, a “Company Patent”), the Company shall pay the Employee a bonus of $10,000 within 30 days after the Company receives notice that such Company Patent has issued. It is acknowledged and understood that a patent may not issue in the United States on an Eligible Application, but that the Company may obtain a patent or patents with respect to patent application(s) filed by the Company, with Employee as a named inventor, that claim priority to the Eligible Application, including continuation, continuation in part or divisional filings. Where a United States patent does not issue on an Eligible Application, but does issue

on a continuation, continuation in part or divisional filing claiming priority to an Eligible Application, such issued patent shall be deemed a Company Patent for purposes herein, but the $10,000 bonus shall be paid only upon the issuance of the first Company Patent to issue in the United States based on a continuation, continuation in part or divisional filing claiming priority to such Eligible Application.

4.6.3 No bonus shall be payable in respect of any foreign patent application (including any international application) or issued foreign patent, whether or not claiming priority to an Eligible Application, filed by the Company after the Effective Date with Employee as a named inventor, but any such issued foreign patent shall, for purposes of the payment obligations described in Section 4.6.4, be deemed a Company Patent.

4.6.4 The Company shall pay to Employee, annually within 90 days of the end of the Company’s fiscal year, a royalty equal to 0.5% of the net revenues realized by the Company on the sale of Company products where the manufacture, marketing or distribution of such products involves the practice of any inventions claimed in a Company Patent (the “Royalty”). Such Royalty shall be calculated and paid based on sales of Company products on a country-by-country basis during the term of the Company Patent(s) embodied in the applicable Company product, or in the manufacture thereof, sold in such country. The 0.5% Royalty shall be calculated on a product/SKU basis, irrespective of the number of Company Patents embodied in such Company product/SKU or its manufacture, and calculated on such eligible Company product until the last to expire of any Company Patent(s) embodied in such product or its manufacture. For the avoidance of doubt, no Royalty shall be incurred (a) with respect to a Company Patent until after the issuance of such Company Patent or (b) in a particular country on sales of Company products in such country following the date of expiration (or invalidation) of the last to expire (or to be invalidated) of the Company Patent(s) embodied in such Company product, or its manufacture in such country. The payment obligation under this Section 4.6.4 shall terminate upon a Change in Control; provided that the amount of any unpaid Royalty earned through the date of the Change of Control shall be paid on or prior to the consummation thereof. The Company agrees to afford the Employee and his professional representatives (subject to entry into reasonable and customary confidentiality restrictions if requested by the Company) reasonable access to the Company’s financial statements, product designs and other technical information, and other books and records that are relevant to this Section 4.6.4, to determine whether the Company has complied with the provisions of this Section 4.6.4. “Change in Control” means any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (other than Stripes Group LLC or any Affiliate of Stripes Group, LLC) acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Employee’s right to receive the Royalty payable under this Section 4.6.4 shall not be affected by the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company.]

5.1 Death. The Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the Employee’s death, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except to pay to the Employee’s estate (or his beneficiary, as may be appropriate) (a) any Base Salary earned through his date of death, to the extent theretofore unpaid and (b) such accrued but unused vacation, retirement, incentive, bonus and other benefits earned by the Employee and vested (if applicable) as of the date of his death under any employee benefit plan of the Company in which the Employee participates, all of the foregoing to be paid in the normal course for such payments and in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans, policies and arrangements.

Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by Employee in the course of Employee’s work for any of the foregoing entities shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under the copyright laws, and the Company or such Subsidiary shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such copyrightable work is not a “work made for hire,” Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company or such Subsidiary all right, title, and interest, including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. Employee shall promptly disclose such Intellectual Property and copyrightable work to the Company and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company or the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm the ownership of the Company or such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

Section 9. Agreement Not to Solicit Employees. The Employee covenants and agrees that during his employment by the Company, and the Non-Compete Period, he will not directly on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, divert or hire away, or attempt to solicit, divert or hire away, to any competing business any person employed by the Company, whether or not such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of the Company, and whether or not such employment is pursuant to written agreement and whether or not such employment is for a determined period or is at will. The Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply regardless of the circumstances under which Employee’s employment with the Company terminates.

Section 10. Non-Disparagement. Except as required by applicable law, rule or regulation or any recognized subpoena power, following termination of the Employee’s employment, each of the Company and Employee agrees to refrain from making any derogatory comment to the press or to any individual or entity regarding the other (or its or his affiliates) that relates to their activities or relationship prior to the date of termination, which comment would be reasonably likely to cause material damage or harm to the business interests or reputation of the Company or the Employee, as the case may be, or its or his affiliates, as the case may be. In the event that either party becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to make any such statements or representations, then prior thereto, such party will provide the other party with prompt written notice so that the other party may seek (with the reasonable cooperation of the first party) a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12. Equitable Relief. The Employee acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by him of any of his covenants contained in Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement could cause irreparable harm to the Company, its affiliates and Subsidiaries,

for which it or they would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, and in addition to any remedies which the Company, its affiliates or Subsidiaries may have at law, in the event of an actual or threatened breach by the Employee of his covenants contained in Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement, the Company, its affiliates and Subsidiaries shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for such injunctive or other equitable relief as such court may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

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 prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

14.8.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary: (a) if at the time of the Employee’s termination of employment, the Employee is a “specified employee,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and determined using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology, and a payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement would be subject to additional tax under Code Section 409A if such payment or benefit is paid within 6 months after the Employee’s termination, then such payment or benefit required under this Agreement shall not be paid (or commence to be paid) during the 6 month period immediately following the Employee’s termination (except as specifically provided otherwise in this clause (a)), but shall instead be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Employee’s termination of employment or, if earlier, on the tenth business day following the Employee’s death (even if such business day is less than six months following the Employee’s termination); (b) a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein, and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” and like terms shall mean separation from service; (c) each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments; and (d) with regard to any provision in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4.5, that provides for reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits, except for any reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement that does not constitute taxable compensation to the Employee, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

14.9 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement will not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Company, the Employee and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

14.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, cancels and replaces any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive Employment Agreement dated as of November 27, 1996 between the Company and the Employee is superseded in its entirety by this Agreement and is terminated effective as of the Effective Date.

14.11 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law will be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation” and is intended by the parties to be by way of example rather than limitation.

14.12 Survival. Sections 4.5, 4.6, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement will survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period.

14.13 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the state of New York.

14.14 Waiver of Trial by Jury. The Company and Employee waive trial by jury in any proceeding.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Employment Agreement as of the date first above written.
