Subject to the provisions of Article 6, the initial term of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement will be one (1) year, beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2007 (the “Initial Term”). The term of this Agreement shall be renewed by the Employee and the Employer for additional periods of one year (each, a “Renewal Term”;) unless either party gives the other party written notice prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (in which event this Agreement will continue for a period of thirty (30) days from such notice) or unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. The Initial Term together with all Renewal Terms, if any, are hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Period”.
Section 2.3 Duties. The Employee will have such duties as are assigned or delegated to the Employee by the Chief Financial Officer, and will serve as Chief Accounting Officer of the Employer. The Employee will devote the Employee’s business, time, attention, skill, and energy to the business of the Employer, will promote the success of the Employer’s business, and will cooperate with the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors in the advancement of the best interests of the Employer. Nothing in this Section 2.3, however, will prevent the Employee from engaging in additional activities in connection with personal investments and community affairs that are not inconsistent with the Employee’s duties under this Agreement. If, at any time, the Employee is elected as a director of the Employer or as a director or officer of any of Employer’s subsidiaries, the Employee will fulfill the Employee’s duties as such director or officer without additional compensation.

The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.
ARTICLE 3. COMPENSATION.
Section 3.1 Basic Compensation.
(a) Salary. The Employee will be paid an annual salary of $275,000, subject to adjustment as provided below (the “Salary”), which will be payable in equal periodic installments according to the Employer’s customary payroll practices, but no less frequently than the 15th and the last day of each month. The Salary, upon a recommendation by the Chief Financial Officer, will be reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) not less frequently than annually, and be adjusted in the sole discretion of the
Committee, but in no event will the Salary be less than $275,000 per year. In determining the amount of any adjustment to Salary, the Committee shall take into account inflation, merit, changes in responsibilities and industry salary practices for executives. Any increase in Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Employee under this Agreement. Salary shall not be reduced after such increase unless such reduction is part of a reduction in salaries of specified management personnel of the Employer undertaken in a program approved by the Employer’s Board of Directors.
(b) Benefits. The Employee will, during the Employment Period, be permitted to participate in such incentive, savings, pension, profit sharing, bonus, life insurance, hospitalization and major medical, and other employee benefit plans, practices, policies and programs, of the Employer that may be in effect from time to time, to the extent the Employee is eligible under the terms of those plans (collectively, the “Benefits”).

ARTICLE 4. FACILITIES AND EXPENSES.

The Employer will furnish the Employee office space, equipment, supplies, and such other facilities and personnel as the Employer deems necessary or appropriate for the performance of the Employee’s duties under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7. NON-DISCLOSURE COVENANT.
Section 7.1 Acknowledgments by the Employee. The Employee acknowledges that (a) during the Employment Period and as a part of the Employee’s employment, the Employee will be afforded access to Confidential Information; and (b) public disclosure of such Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on the Employer and its business.
Section 7.2 Agreements of the Employee. In consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to the Employee by the Employer under this Agreement, the Employee covenants as follows:
(a) During and following the Employment Period, the Employee will hold in confidence the Confidential Information and will not disclose it to any person except with the specific prior written consent of the Employer, as otherwise may be required by law or legal process or except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If any information that the Employer deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, such
information will, nevertheless, be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. The Employee hereby waives any requirement that the Employer submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.
(c) None of the foregoing obligations and restrictions applies to any part of the Confidential Information that the Employee demonstrates was or became generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Employee.
(d) Upon termination of this Agreement by either party, or upon the request of the Employer during the Employment Period, the Employee will return to the Employer all Confidential Information in the Employee’s possession or subject to the Employee’s control, and the Employee may not retain any copies, abstracts, sketches, or other physical embodiment of any of the Confidential Information.
ARTICLE 8. NON-COMPETITION AND NON-INTERFERENCE.
The Employee covenants that the Employee will not, directly or indirectly during the Employment Period, except in the course of the Employee’s employment hereunder, and during the Post-Employment Period, directly or indirectly manage, operate, control, or participate in the management, operation, or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend the Employee’s name to, or render services or advice to, any third party or any business whose products compete (including as described below) in whole or in part with the products of the Employer.
For purposes of this Article 8, any third party or any business whose products compete includes any entity with which the Employer has had a product(s) licensing agreement during the Employment Period and any entity with which the Employer is at the time of termination actively negotiating a commercial relationship. The term “Post-Employment Period” means the period beginning on the effective date of termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder and ending on the later to occur of (i) twelve (12) months after the effective date of such termination or (ii) the date amounts payable to Employee under Section 6.5 (a), (c) and (e) and Section 6.6 are to have been paid in full pursuant to this Agreement (provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such amounts are being timely paid by the Employer) ..
If any covenant in this Article 8 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against the Employee.
ARTICLE 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
Section 9.1 Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedy. The Employee acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by the Employer as a result of a breach of
the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision of Articles 7 and 8) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Employer for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Employer 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 Employer will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief.
Section 9.2 Essential and Independent Covenants. The covenants by the Employee in Articles 7 and 8 are essential elements of this Agreement, and without the Employee’s agreement to comply with such covenants, the Employer would not have entered into this Agreement or employed or continued the employment of the Employee. The Employer and the Employee 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 Employer.
If the Employee’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 Employee in Articles 7 and 8.
Section 9.3 Duty to Mitigate. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment required under this Agreement, nor shall the payments due Employee hereunder be reduced or offset by reason of any payments Employee may receive from any other source.
Section 9.4 Representations and Warranties by the Employee. The Employee represents and warrants to the Employer that the execution and delivery by the Employee of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Employee of the Employee’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 Employee; 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 Employee is a party or by which the Employee is or may be bound.
Section 9.5 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any 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.
Section 9.6 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 Employer may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred. The duties and covenants of the Employee under this Agreement, being personal, may not be delegated.
