6.2 DEFINITION OF DISABILITY

For purposes of Section 6.1, the Executive will be deemed to have a “disability” if, for physical or mental reasons, the Executive is unable to perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement for one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days, or one hundred eighty (180) days during any twelve (12) month period, as determined in accordance with this Section 6.2. The disability of the Executive will be determined by a medical doctor selected by written agreement of the Company and the Executive upon the request of either party by notice to the other. If the Company and the Executive cannot agree on the selection of a medical doctor, each of them will select a medical doctor and the two (2) medical doctors will select a third (3^rd) medical doctor who will determine whether the Executive has a disability. The determination of the medical doctor selected under this Section 6.2 will be binding on both parties. The Executive must submit to a reasonable number of examinations by the medical doctor making the determination of disability under this Section 6.2, and the Executive hereby authorizes the disclosure and release to the Company of such determination and all supporting medical records. If the Executive is not legally competent, the Executive’s legal guardian or duly authorized attorney-in-fact will act in the Executive’s stead, under this Section 6.2, for the purposes of submitting the Executive to the examinations, and providing the authorization of disclosure, required under this Section 6.2.

6.3 DEFINITION OF “FOR CAUSE”

For purposes of Section 6.1, the phrase “for cause” means: (a) the Executive’s breach of this Agreement or the Non-Competition Agreement entered into on the date hereof between the Company and the Executive (the “Non-Competition Agreement”); (b) the Executive’s failure to adhere to any written Company policy if the Executive has been given a reasonable opportunity to comply with such policy or cure Executive’s failure to comply (which reasonable opportunity must be granted during the ten (10) day period preceding termination of this Agreement); (c) the appropriation (or attempted appropriation) of a material business opportunity of the Company, including attempting to secure or securing any personal profit in connection with any transaction entered into on behalf of the Company; (d) the misappropriation (or attempted misappropriation) of any of the Company’s funds or property; or (e) the conviction of, the indictment for (or its procedural equivalent), or the entering of a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to a felony, the equivalent thereof, or any other crime with respect to which imprisonment is a possible punishment.

For purposes of Section 6.1, the phrase “for good reason” means: (a) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement; (b) the assignment of the Executive, without the Executive’s consent, to (i) a position lower than operations manager or (ii) responsibilities or duties materially below that which an officer in that position would normally be assigned. In order for the status of “for good reason” to exist, Executive must first deliver written notice to Company’s Chief Executive Officer that Executive will have a right to terminate “for good reason” unless the Company cures the problem that gives rise to the right to terminate “for good reason” and if Company cures that within fifteen (15) business days, then that prior problem shall not serve as being “for good reason”.

6.5 TERMINATION PAY

Effective upon the termination of this Agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay the Executive only such compensation as is provided in this Section 6.5.

(A) Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If, during the Minimum Term, the Executive terminates this Agreement for good reason, or the Company terminates this Agreement without cause the Company will pay the Executive the Executive’s Salary for the remainder, if any, of the calendar month in which such termination is effective and for the shorter of (i) twelve (12) consecutive calendar months thereafter, or (ii) until the end of the Minimum Term. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Executive obtains other employment prior to the end of the twelve (12) months following the month in which the termination is effective, Executive must promptly give notice thereof to the Company, and the Salary payments under this Agreement for any period after the Executive obtains other employment will be reduced by the amount of the cash compensation received, and to be received, by the Executive from the Executive’s other employment for services performed during such period.

(B) Termination by the Company for Cause. If, during the Minimum Term, the Company terminates this Agreement for cause, the Executive will be entitled to receive Executive’s Salary only through the date such termination is effective.

(C) Termination upon Disability. If this Agreement is terminated by either party as a result of the Executive’s disability, as determined under Section 6.2, the Company will pay to the Executive the Executive’s Salary through the remainder of the calendar month during which such termination is effective and for the lesser of (i) three (3) consecutive months thereafter, or (ii) the period until disability insurance benefits commence under the disability insurance coverage furnished by the Company to the Executive.

(D) Termination upon Death. If this Agreement is terminated because of the Executive’s death, the Executive will be entitled to receive the Executive’s Salary through the end of the calendar month in which the Executive’s death occurs.

(E) Benefits. The Executive’s accrual of, or participation in plans providing for, the Benefits will cease at the effective date of the termination of this Agreement, and the Executive will be entitled to accrued Benefits pursuant to such plans only as provided in such plans.

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND ADDITIONAL REMEDY

The Executive acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by the Company as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision of Sections 7 and 8) would be irreparable, and that an award of monetary damages to the Company for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach, or threatened breach, or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and the Company will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s rights under this Section 9 or any other remedies of the Company, if the Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 7 or 8, the Company will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Executive under this Agreement.

9.2 COVENANTS OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8 ARE ESSENTIAL AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS

The covenants by the Executive in Sections 7 and 8 are essential elements of this Agreement. The Company and the Executive have independently consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants, with specific regard to the nature of the business conducted by the Company.

The covenants by the Executive in Sections 7 and 8 are independent covenants and the existence of any claim by the Executive against the Company under this Agreement or otherwise, or against the Company, will not excuse the Executive’s breach of any covenant in Section 7 or 8.

If the Executive’s employment hereunder expires or is terminated, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect, as is necessary or appropriate to enforce the covenants and agreements of the Executive in Sections 7 and 8.

9.3 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Executive will promptly disclose to Company any business opportunity that is reasonably related to Company’s business, or that could be a reasonable extension of, or addition to, Company’s business, that comes to Executive’s attention during Executive’s employment with Company. Executive will not take advantage of or divert any such business opportunity for the benefit of Executive, or any other party, without the prior written consent of Company. Nothing contained herein shall limit, abrogate or terminate any of the fiduciary duties owed by Executive to the Company, under applicable law.

9.4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE EXECUTIVE

The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the execution and delivery by the Executive of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to the Executive; or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is or may be bound.

9.5 SEVERABILITY

It is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as severable as to section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, time, area, and restricted activity and that if any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof be deemed too broad in scope as to time, area or restricted activity, then the section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, period of time, geo-graphical area or restricted activity shall be reduced to such scope as is reasonable and enforceable, and this Agreement shall be construed as if it had originally been drawn in such reduced form, to the end that the restraints hereby imposed may be enforced by injunction.

9.6 WAIVER

The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

9.7 BINDING EFFECT, DELEGATION OF DUTIES PROHIBITED

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives, including any entity with which the Company may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred. The duties and covenants of the Executive under this Agreement, being personal, may not be delegated.
