NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, Company and Xx. Xxx agree
as follows:

| A. | Effective as of the Effective Date, Xx. Xxx resigns as an employee of Company, and the Severance Agreement (as defined in Section 19 below) between Company and Xx.

Xxx and his eligible family members to continue to receive medical insurance coverage at a level commensurate with the coverage provided to Xx. Xxx immediately prior to the Effective Date, or at Xx.

Xxx’x COBRA or medical insurance premiums, and (b) Company will provide Xx. Xxx with administrative assistant support. |
| 2. | Services: Xx. Xxx agrees to perform the services described in Exhibit A (the “Services”), and to devote such time as is reasonably necessary to perform the Services. Xx.

Xxx’x sole discretion the manner and means by which the services are accomplished, subject to the express condition that Xx. Xxx will at all times comply with applicable law. Xx. Xxx is an independent contractor without authority to bind Company by contract or otherwise, and neither Xx. Xxx nor Xx. Xxx’x employees and agents are agents or employees of Company. | ||
| 6. | Time Commitment: It is anticipated that Xx. Xxx will spend at least eighty percent (80%) of his work time, calculated on a quarterly basis, on the Services covered by this Agreement. Company recognizes that the term of this Agreement will be a transition period that will allow Xx. Xxx to transition to other employment, and that this Agreement is not intended to preclude Xx. Xxx from working on other matters, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. | ||
| 7. | Employment Taxes and Benefits: Xx. Xxx acknowledges and agrees that Xx. Xxx is obligated to report as income all compensation received by Xx. Xxx pursuant to this Agreement, and Xx. Xxx will indemnify, hold harmless and, at Company’s request, defend Company and Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and independent contractors to the extent of any obligation imposed on Company to pay any withholding taxes, social security, unemployment or disability insurance or similar items, including interest and penalties thereon, in connection with any payments made to Xx. Xxx by Company pursuant to this Agreement. | ||
| 8. | Indemnification: |
A. Xx. Xxx will indemnify, hold harmless Company against all claims, liabilities,
damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees
and costs of suit, finally adjudicated to have arisen out of Xx. Xxx’x xxxxx negligence
and willful misconduct or any violation of Section 9 below; provided
however, that Xx. Xxx shall not be obligated to
indemnify Company for: (i) settlements entered into without first obtaining Xx. Xxx’x
written
2
consent; provided such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (ii) any action taken
at the express direction of Company; or (iii) to the extent such indemnification is
adjudicated to be unlawful.
B. Company will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Xx. Xxx from and against all claims,
liabilities, damages, losses and expenses arising out of Xx. Xxx’x lawful actions under
the Agreement that are taken at the direction of the Company; provided
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify or hold
harmless Xx. Xxx under this Agreement for: (i) any matter for which Xx. Xxx is obligated
to indemnify the Company pursuant to Section 8(A) above; (ii) proceedings and claims
initiated or brought voluntarily by Xx. Xxx and not by way of defense, except with
respect to proceedings specifically authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company
or brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification arising under this
Agreement or any statute or law or otherwise, but such indemnification may be provided
by Company in specific cases if the Board finds it appropriate, (iii) settlements
entered into without the Company’s authorization and prior written consent; (iv) an
action for an accounting of profits realized by Xx. Xxx in violation of Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other similar law; or (v) to the extent such
indemnification is adjudicated to be unlawful. As a condition of Company’s obligations
under this Section 8.B (collectively, “Company Indemnification Obligations”),
Xx. Xxx will (1) provide Company with prompt written notice of any claim, liability,
damage, loss or expense (collectively, “Claim Against Xx. Xxx”) that will give
rise to Company Indemnification Obligations (provided that any failure to provide such
prompt written notice shall only limit coverage to the extent Company is prejudiced by
such failure to provide prompt written notice), (2) permit Company to have sole control
of the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such Claim Against Xx. Xxx;
provided, that (a) Company will not make any acknowledgment of culpability on Xx. Xxx’x
behalf without Xx. Xxx’x consent, and (b) Xx. Xxx may secure his own legal
representation at his sole expense, who shall not control or participate in the defense,
provided further that if the Company and Xx. Xxx are named as co-defendants in an action
and there is a conflict of interest that prevents the Company from representing Xx. Xxx
in such action then, solely with respect to the issues where such conflict of interest
exists, Company will no longer control Xx. Xxx’x defense in such action and will pay for
the reasonable fees and expenses of Xx. Xxx’x counsel in such action, and (3) provide
Company with all reasonable assistance (which shall not be construed to include the
payment of funds by Xx. Xxx) in the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any
Claim Against Xx. Xxx. Nothing herein shall limit Company’s obligations existing as of
the Effective Date (including obligations with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring after the Effective Date) to indemnify Xx. Xxx outside of this Agreement,
including under the Indemnity Agreement.
| 9. | Proprietary Information: The product of all work performed under this Agreement for Company (“Work Product”), will be the sole property of Company, and Xx. Xxx hereby assigns to Company all right, title and interest, including but not limited to all patent rights (including rights in any patent application of Company in which Xx. Xxx is listed as an inventor), copyright, mask work rights, trade secret rights and other proprietary rights therein. During and after the term of this Agreement Xx.
