Place of Employment Executive’s principal place of employment shall be the corporate offices of the Company.
Location of Employment The Executive's principal place of business shall continue to be at the Company's headquarters to be located within thirty (30) miles of Doylestown, Pennsylvania; provided, that the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the performance by the Executive of his duties shall require frequent travel including, without limitation, overseas travel from time to time.
Period of Employment The “Period of Employment” shall be a period of three (3) years commencing on the Employment Commencement Date and ending at the close of business on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Employment Commencement Date (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that this Agreement shall be automatically renewed, and the Period of Employment shall be automatically extended for one (1) additional year on the Termination Date and each anniversary of the Termination Date thereafter, unless either party gives notice, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of this Agreement and the Period of Employment (including any renewal thereof) of such party’s desire to terminate the Agreement or modify its terms. The term “Period of Employment” shall include any extension thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence. Provision of notice that the Period of Employment shall not be extended or further extended, as the case may be, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not constitute “Constructive Termination” for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Period of Employment is subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Agreement.
Term of Employment The initial term of Employee's employment under this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2000 and shall terminate on December 31, 2001; provided, however, that this Agreement shall be automatically extended for additional terms of one year each unless not later than October 31 of any year beginning in 2001, either party has given written notice to the other party of its or his intention not to extend the term of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the term of employment may be terminated upon the earlier occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) Upon the termination of the business or corporate existence of the Corporation;
(b) Upon the death of the Employee;
(c) At the Corporation's option, if Employee shall suffer a permanent disability; (For the purposes of this Agreement, "permanent disability" means any physical or mental impairment that renders the Employee unable for a period of six (6) months or more to perform the essential job functions of his position, even with reasonable accommodation, as determined by a physician selected by the Corporation. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that he shall voluntarily submit to a medical or psychological examination for the purpose of determining his continued fitness to perform the essential functions of his position whenever requested to do so by the Corporation. If the Corporation elects to terminate the employment relationship on this basis, the Corporation shall notify the Employee or his representative in writing and the termination shall become effective on the date that such notification is given.) or
(d) At the Corporation's option, upon ten (10) calendar days' written notice to Employee, in the event of any breach or default by Employee of any of the terms of this Agreement or of any of Employee's duties or obligations hereunder, or in the event the Corporation determines that Employee is not performing the duties required of him hereunder to the satisfaction of the Corporation. In lieu of providing ten (10) calendar days' advance written notice, the Corporation, at its sole option, may terminate the Employee's services immediately and pay him an amount that is equivalent to ten (10) calendar days of his salary, less any deductions required by law;
(e) At the Corporation's option, without any advance notice, in the event that the Employee engages in conduct which, in the opinion of the Corporation, (1) constitutes dishonesty of any kind (including, but not limited to, any misrepresentation of facts or falsification of records) in Employee's relations, interactions or dealings with the Corporation or its customers;
End of Employment If the employment of an employee who is eligible for the bonus ends before annual payment of the bonus, then 1/12 of the sum that was last paid to the employee in seniority bonus shall be paid to the employee at the time of the final wage payment for each month for which the employee has earned annual holiday as of the start of the preceding December.

The Term shall automatically renew for additional twelve (12) month periods unless no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the applicable Term either Party gives written notice of non-renewal (“Notice of Non-Renewal”) to the other, in which case Executive’s employment will terminate at the end of the then-applicable Term, subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 3 below.
Scope of Employment (a) During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be responsible for the performance of those duties consistent with the Executive’s position as General Counsel, in addition to such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to the Executive by the Company. The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently, and to the best of the Executive’s ability, the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.
(b) The Executive agrees to devote the Executive’s full business time, best efforts, skill, knowledge, attention and energies to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and to the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Company; provided that the Executive may (i) engage in charitable, educational, religious, civic and similar types of activities and (ii) serve on the board of directors of for-profit business enterprises, provided that in each case such service is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) prior to commencement thereof in the Board’s sole discretion and only to the extent that such activities are not competitive with the business of the Company and do not individually or in the aggregate inhibit, interfere with, or prohibit the timely performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, and do not create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. The Executive agrees to abide by the rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices, and policies of the Company, as well as any applicable codes of ethics or business conduct, and any changes therein that may be adopted from time to time by the Company.
(c) The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive is under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. In connection with the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Executive shall not use or disclose any trade secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which the Executive or any other person or entity has any right, title or interest, and Executive’s employment with the Company will not infringe or violate the rights of any other person or entity.

The Company may extend the Term of Employment by an additional twelve months (“Additional Term”) pursuant to formal action by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at least 90 days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Term of Employment, unless the Executive notifies the Company of his or her decision to decline any additional term before at least 120 days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Term of Employment.
(b) Subject to the payments contemplated by Sections 3(f) through 3(i), the Term of Employment may be terminated at any time by the Company:
(i) upon the death of Executive;

(v) for any other reason or no reason, it being understood that no reason is required. Executive acknowledges that no representations or promises have been made concerning the grounds for termination or the future operation of the Companies’ business, and that nothing contained herein or otherwise stated by or on behalf of any of the Companies modifies or amends the right of the Company to terminate Executive at any time, with or without Material Breach or Cause.
