Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, such reimbursements for COBRA premiums shall not be made to the extent such payments would result in any additional tax or penalty to the Company under the Affordable Care Act or any other applicable law. In the event the group health coverage is self-insured, the Company shall include in the Executive’s gross income, the imputed value of the employer-subsidized COBRA premiums. The Executive shall be responsible for the full amount of COBRA premiums for any periods exceeding the time set forth above. In addition, in the event of a termination covered by this Section 4.b., the Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of his annual Base Salary (“Bonus Severance”).The Company’s obligations to pay the Base Salary Continuation, the Bonus Severance and COBRA premiums described above shall be conditioned upon the Executive’s continued compliance with his obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement.

If (a) the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment at any time, other than for Good Reason, (b) if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to the Executive’s death or Disability or (c) if the Executive’s employment terminates due to, upon or following non-renewal of the Agreement by either Party in accordance with Section 1.a., then the Executive (or his estate) shall be entitled to no payment or compensation whatsoever from the Company under this Agreement, other than the Accrued Amounts.

Termination by the Company for Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, then the Executive shall be entitled to no payment or compensation whatsoever from the Company under this Agreement, other than the Accrued Amounts.

Exclusive Remedy. The foregoing payments upon termination of the Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive severance payments and benefits due the Executive upon termination of his employment.

Resignation from All Positions.

Following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company upon reasonable request of the Board and be reasonably available to the Company (taking into account any other full-time employment of the Executive) with respect to matters arising out of the Executive’s services to the Company.

Duty of Confidentiality. Executive agrees that during employment with the Company and for a period of two (2) years following the termination or resignation of Executive from employment with the Company, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, divulge or make use of any Confidential Information of the Company other than in the performance of Executive’s duties for the Company. While employed by the Company, Executive shall make all reasonable efforts to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Company. In the event that Executive becomes aware of unauthorized disclosures of the Confidential Information by anyone at any time, whether intentionally or by accident, Executive shall promptly notify the Company. This Agreement does not limit the remedies available to the Company under common or statutory law as to trade secrets or other types of confidential information, which may impose longer duties of non-disclosure.

Return of Property and Information. Executive agrees not to remove any Company property from Company premises, except when authorized by the Company. Executive agrees to return all Company property and information (whether confidential or not) within Executive’s possession or control within seven (7) calendar days following the termination or resignation of Executive from employment with the Company. Such property and information includes, but is not limited to, the original and any copy (regardless of the manner in which it is recorded) of all information provided by Company to Executive or which Executive has developed or collected in the scope of Executive’s employment with the Company, as well as all Company-issued equipment, supplies, accessories, vehicles, keys, instruments, tools, devices, computers, cell phones, pagers, materials, documents, plans, records, notebooks, drawings, or papers. Upon request by the Company, Executive shall certify in writing that Executive has complied with this provision; and has permanently deleted all Company information from any computers or other electronic storage devices or media owned by Executive. Executive may only retain information relating the Executive’s benefit plans and compensation to the extent needed to prepare Executive’s tax returns.

Assignment of Work Product and Inventions. Executive hereby assigns and grants to the Company (and will upon request take any actions needed to formally assign and grant to Company and/or obtain patents, trademark registrations or copyrights belonging to Company) the sole and exclusive ownership of any and all inventions, information, reports, computer software or programs, writings, technical information or work product collected or developed by Executive, alone or with others, during the term of Executive’s employment relating to the Company. This duty applies whether or not the forgoing inventions or information are made or prepared in the course of employment with the Company, so long as such inventions or information relate to the Business of Company and have been developed in whole or in part during the term of Executive’s employment. Executive agrees to advise the Company in writing of each invention that Executive, alone or with others, makes or conceives during the term of Executive’s employment and which relate to the Business of Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Executive shall not be required to assign, nor shall Executive be deemed to have assigned, any of Executive’s rights in any invention that Executive develops entirely on his own time without using Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Trade Secrets, except for inventions that either: (1) relate, at the time that the invention is conceived or reduced to practice, to the Business of Company or to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; or (2) result from any work performed by Executive for the Company on behalf of the Company. Inventions which Executive developed before Executive came to work for the Company, if any, are described in the attached Exhibit B, and excluded from this Section. The failure of the parties to attach any Exhibit B to this agreement shall be deemed an admission by Executive that Executive does not have any pre-existing inventions.

Non-Competition. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, and within the Restricted Territory, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, perform services on behalf of a Competing Business, and which are the same as or similar to those types of services conducted, authorized, offered, or provided by Executive to the Company within 24 months prior to Executive’s termination or resignation.

Non-Recruitment of Company Employees and Contractors. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit or induce any employee or independent contractor of the Company with whom Executive had Material Contact, to terminate or lessen such employment or contract with the Company.

Non-Solicitation of Company Customers. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit any actual or prospective customers of the Company with whom Executive had Material Contact, for the purpose of selling any products or services to such customers on behalf of a Competing Business.

Non-Solicitation of Company Vendors. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit any actual or prospective Vendor of the Company with whom Executive had Material Contact, for the purpose of purchasing products or services to support a Competing Business.

Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 4 are reasonable as to time, scope and territory given the Company’s need to protect its Confidential Information and its relationships and goodwill with its customers, suppliers, employees and contractors, all of which have been developed at great time and expense to the Company. Executive represents that Executive has the skills and abilities to obtain alternative employment that would not violate these Restrictive Covenants in the event tori Executive leaves employment with the Company, and that these Restrictive Covenants do not pose an undue hardship on Executive. Executive further acknowledges that Executive’s breach of any of the provisions of Section 4 would likely cause irreparable injury to the Company, and therefore entitle the Company to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedies available in law or equity, without the necessity of posting a bond.

Assignment and Successors.

The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business or the assets of the Company (by merger or otherwise), and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company and its affiliates. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company , Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable.

As a condition of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will be required to provide evidence of Executive’s identity and eligibility for employment in the United States.

Notices. Any notice, request, claim, demand, document and other communication hereunder to any Party shall be effective upon receipt (or refusal of receipt) and shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by facsimile or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid (or if it is sent through any other method agreed upon by the parties), as follows:

Entire Agreement. The terms of this Agreement, collectively with the Change in Control and Severance Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement, is intended by the Parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral.

Amendments; Waivers, This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer of Company. By an instrument in writing similarly executed, Executive or a duly authorized officer of the Company, as applicable, may waive compliance by the other Party with any specifically identified provision of this Agreement that such other Party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity.

Arbitration. Executive and the Company agree that if my dispute, controversy or claim should arise between Executive and the Company (including claims against its employees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, successors and assigns) relating or pertaining to or arising out of Executive’s employment with the Company or this Agreement, the dispute will be submitted exclusively to binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator conducted in the state of Florida, in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force. This means that disputes will be decided by an arbitrator rather than a court or jury, and that both Executive and the Company waive their respective rights to a court or jury trial. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive and the Company each have the right to resolve any issue or dispute over intellectual property rights by court action instead of arbitration.

Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any allowances and reimbursements) any federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which the Company is required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any questions as to the amount or requirement of withholding shall arise.

The intent of the Parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (collectively with the Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date, “Section 409A”). and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be exempt therefrom. If Executive notifies the Company that Executive has received advice of tax counsel of a national reputation with expertise in Section 409A that any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A (with specificity as to the reason therefor) or the Company independently makes such determination, the Company and Executive shall take commercially reasonable efforts to reform such provision to try to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Section 409A, provided that any such modifications shall not increase the cost or liability to the Company. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date and year first above written.

Employee further understands and acknowledges that this Confidential Information and the Company’s ability to reserve it for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Company, and that improper use or disclosure of the Confidential Information by Employee will cause irreparable harm to the Company, for which remedies at law will not be adequate.

2.1.

Employee agrees that during and in perpetuity after Employee’s employment by Company, Employee shall (i) hold in confidence and treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential; (ii) not directly or indirectly disclose, publish, communicate or make available Confidential Information, or allow it to be disclosed, published, communicated or made available, in whole or part, to any entity or person whatsoever, except as required in the good faith performance of Employee’s duties to the Company or with the prior consent of an authorized officer acting on behalf of the Company in each instance (and then, such disclosure shall be made only within the limits and to the extent of such duties or consent); and (iii) not to access or use any Confidential Information, and not to copy any documents, records, files, media or other resources containing any Confidential Information, or remove any such documents, records, files, media or other resources from the premises or control of the Company, except as required in the good faith performance of Employee’s duties to the Company or with the prior consent of an authorized officer acting on behalf of the Company in each instance (and then, such disclosure shall be made only within the limits and to the extent of such duties or consent). Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation or order.

2.3.

Employee’s confidentiality obligations set forth herein shall not be interpreted or applied in a manner that would conflict with Employee’s rights, if any, under the NLRA, as defined and further described in Section 9 below.

2.4.

As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information or material, whether oral or written, that is proprietary to Company or designated (either expressly or by virtue of the manner in which such information or material is traditionally treated in business settings) as confidential information by Company and not generally known by non-Company personnel, which Employee may develop or which Employee may receive, obtain knowledge of or become privy to through or as a result of Employee’s relationship with Company (including information conceived, originated, discovered or developed in whole or in part by Employee). “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, the following types of information and other information of a similar nature (whether or not reduced to writing): trade secrets, discoveries, ideas, concepts, software in various stages of development, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, models, data, source code, object code, documentation, diagrams, flow charts, research, development, processes, procedures, “know-how”, marketing techniques and materials, marketing and development plans, names of employees and information related to them, customer names, contacts, and other information related to customers, price lists, pricing policies, and financial data, information and projections. “Confidential Information” also includes any information described above which Company obtains from another party and which Company treats as proprietary or designates as “Confidential Information,” whether or not owned or developed by Company. Information that is publicly known and that is generally employed by the trade or generic information or knowledge which Employee would have learned in the course of similar work elsewhere in the trade is not intended to and shall be deemed not to be a part of the “Confidential Information.”

2.5.

Employee understands that the above list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes other information that is marked or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the information is known or used.

2.6.

Additionally, each of the covenants and restrictions to which Employee is subject under this Agreement, including, without limitation those in Sections 2 through 4 above, shall each be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement between Employee and the Company, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants and restrictions.
