7.             Termination of Employment.

(a)            Company’s Right to Terminate Employee’s Employment for Cause or Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder at any time for Cause or without Cause, in each case, upon written notice to Employee.

(i)            If Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company for Cause, then Employee shall be: (A) paid any previously earned but unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination, if any, which shall be paid in conformity with the Company’s customary payroll practice, (B) reimbursed for any business expenses incurred by but not yet paid to the Employee, pursuant to Section 5 above, (C) entitled to any vested benefits under any benefit plans and programs described in Section 6, above, and (D) paid or provided with any other amounts or benefits, as required by applicable law, which shall be paid in the time period required by applicable law (the “Accrued Obligations”).

(ii)            If Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without Cause (and not under the circumstances described in Section 7(b)), then Employee shall be paid the Accrued Obligations plus one additional month of Base Salary.

(iii)            For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

(A)            Employee’s willful or grossly negligent performance of any act or willful or grossly negligent failure to perform any act in bad faith and to the detriment of any member of the Company Group;

(B)            Employee’s intentional dishonesty, intentional misconduct or willful or grossly negligent and material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with any member of the Company Group to the detriment of any member of the Company Group; or

(C)            Employee’s conviction or plea of guilty or no contest to a crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any person.

For purposes of this subsection (iii), no act, or failure to act, on Employee’s part shall be deemed “willful” or “intentional” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Employee not in good faith and without the reasonable belief that the Employee’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the independent members of the Board at a meeting of such members (after reasonable notice to Employee and an opportunity for Employee together with Employee’s counsel, to be heard before such members of the Board), finding that Employee has engaged in the conduct set forth above in this subsection (iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Finally, to the extent curable, the Employee shall have a period of ten (10) days to cure any such conduct, and in the event that such conduct is cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board, Cause shall not exist for purposes of this Agreement; provided however, that, if the Company reasonably expects irreparable injury from a delay of ten (10) days, the Company may give Employee notice of such shorter period within which to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances, which may include the termination of the Employee’s employment without notice and with immediate effect.

(b)            Termination of Employment in Connection with Appointment of a Replacement CEO. If the Company hires a replacement Chief Executive Officer, on the date that the replacement Chief Executive Officer begins employment with the Company (the “CEO Start Date”), Employee’s title shall change to Executive Advisor and (subject to termination pursuant to Sections 7(a)(i), 7(c), or 7(d)) Employee shall be employed as an advisor to the Company for a thirty-day period beginning on the CEO Start Date (the “Transition Period”). During the Transition Period, Employee will continue to receive the cash compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement. At the end of the Transition Period, Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate and Employee shall be paid the Accrued Obligations. Following the Transition Period, the Company shall have no further obligation to Employee pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)            Death or Disability. Upon the death or Disability of Employee, Employee’s employment with the Company shall automatically (and without any further action by any person or entity) terminate. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Disability” shall exist if Employee is unable to perform the essential functions of Employee’s position (after an interactive process that accounts for reasonable accommodation) and such inability is expected to last permanently or has existed for a period of thirty (30) days. The determination of whether Employee has incurred a Disability shall be made in good faith by the Board. If Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated due to the death or Disability of Employee, then Employee shall be paid (i) an amount equal to thirty (30) days’ of additional Base Salary measured from the date of such termination of employment related to such death or disability, which amount shall be paid in a lump sum no later than 60 days following the date of termination, and (ii) the Accrued Obligations.

Employee shall have the right to resign Employee’s employment with the Company at any time and for any reason, or no reason at all, upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Company; provided, however, that if Employee has provided notice to the Company of Employee’s resignation of employment, the Company may determine, in its sole discretion, that such resignation shall be effective on any date prior to the effective date of resignation provided in such notice (and, if such earlier date is so required, then it shall not change the basis for Employee’s termination of employment nor be construed or interpreted as a termination of employment without Cause pursuant to Section 7(a)). If Employee resigns voluntarily as described in this Section 7(d), then Employee shall be paid only the Accrued Obligations.

(e)            Release of Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in order for Employee to receive any payment described in this Section 7 other than the Accrued Obligations, Employee shall be required to first execute and return to the Company, by the Release Expiration Date (and not exercise any revocation right in any time provided to do so), a customary release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”), which Release shall release any and all claims against the Company Group, and each of their respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, managers, directors, predecessors, successors, fiduciaries, employees, representatives, agents, and benefit plans (and fiduciaries of such plans).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10 shall restrict Employee from engaging or participating in any activity permitted pursuant to Section 2(a).

(c)            Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company Group as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the members of the Company Group for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each other member of the Company Group shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security.

(d)            The covenants in this Section 10, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

21.           Deemed Resignations. Except as otherwise determined by the Board or as otherwise agreed to in writing by Employee and any member of the Company Group prior to the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company or any member of the Company Group, any termination of Employee’s employment shall constitute, as applicable, an automatic resignation of Employee: (a) as an officer of the Company and each member of the Company Group; and (b) other than the Board, from the board of directors or board of managers (or similar governing body) of any member of the Company Group and of any corporation, limited liability entity, unlimited liability entity or other entity in which any member of the Company Group holds an equity interest and with respect to which board of directors or board of managers (or similar governing body) Employee serves as such Company Group member’s designee or other representative.

22.           Section 409A.

(a)            Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and the applicable Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) or an exemption therefrom and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and are payable upon a termination of Employee’s employment, or for which a termination of Employee’s employment is intended to be treated as a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for purposes of Section 409A, shall only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A.

(b)            To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company no later than the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Employee, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) 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; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period in which the arrangement is in effect.

14

(c)            Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided for herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A if Employee’s receipt of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier of  the date of Employee’s death or the date that is six (6) months after the date of Employee’s separation from service (such date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to Employee (or Employee’s estate, if applicable) until the Section 409A Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall any member of the Company Group be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

23.           Clawback. To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Board (or a committee thereof), amounts paid or payable under this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of any applicable clawback policies or procedures adopted by the Company, which clawback policies or procedures may provide for forfeiture and/or recoupment of amounts paid or payable under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company reserves the right, without the consent of Employee, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including such policies and procedures applicable to this Agreement with retroactive effect.

24.           Effect of Termination. The provisions of Sections 7, 9-13 and 21 and those provisions necessary to interpret and enforce them, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and any termination of the employment relationship between Employee and the Company.

25.           Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Original Agreement, up to a maximum of $20,000, which reimbursement shall be provided as soon as practicable following the receipt by the Company of documentation from Employee detailing the amount of such fees (but in any event not later than the close of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which such fees are incurred by Employee).

26.           Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each member of the Company Group that is not a signatory to this Agreement shall be a third-party beneficiary of Employee’s obligations under Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations as if a party hereto.

27.           Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision (or portion thereof) shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The parties acknowledge and agree that, if any court determines that any covenant or obligation of this Agreement is excessive in duration or scope, unreasonable, or unenforceable, the court may modify or amend that covenant or obligation to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted under the law.
