5.Termination; Payments upon Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the following terms:

5.1Termination Upon Death. If Employee should die during the Employment Term, this Agreement will terminate on the date of death.

All Benefits will, unless otherwise expressly set forth on Exhibit A, otherwise provided by Employer policy applicable to its employees generally or otherwise required by applicable law, terminate on the date of termination.

In consideration of such special and unique opportunities afforded by Employer and its affiliates to Employee as a result of Employee's employment, the Employee hereby agrees that Employee will not:

6.1 For sixty (60) days after Employer or any of its affiliates no longer employs Employee (the date on which such person no longer employs Employee is hereinafter referred to as the "Employment Termination Date"), directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, joint venture, officer, director, member, employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor, or equity interest holder of, or lender to, any person or business, engage in any business that is in competition with any business in which Employer or any of its affiliates is engaged as of the Employment Termination Date (a "Competitive Business"), and that is within a 10-mile radius of any location at which Employer or any of its affiliates engages in such business at the time Employee commences to engage in such competitive activity.

6.2 For one (1) year after the Employment Termination Date, directly or indirectly (i) induce any person that is a customer of Employer or any of its affiliates to enter into any Contract with or otherwise patronize any business directly or indirectly in competition with the Competitive Business conducted by Employer or any of its affiliates; (ii) canvass, solicit, or accept from any person who is a customer of Employer or any of its affiliates any such Competitive Business; or (iii) request or advise any person who is a customer, vendor, or lessor of Employer or any of its affiliates, to withdraw, curtail, or cancel any such customer's, vendor's, or lessor's business with Employer or any of its affiliates; provided, however, that a general solicitation or advertisement originating outside of, and not specifically targeted to or reasonably expected to target, the territory as to which Employee is restricted from engaging in such competitive business as provided above under this Agreement at such time, will not be deemed in and of itself to violate the prohibitions of (i) or (ii) of this Section 6.2.

6.3 For the twelve (12) months after the Employment Termination Date, directly or indirectly employ, or knowingly permit any affiliate of Employee to employ, any person whom Employer or any of its affiliates employed within the prior six months.

6.4 For one (1) year after the Employment Termination Date, directly or indirectly (i) solicit for employment or other similar relationship with Employee, any of Employee's affiliates or any other person, any employee of Employer or any of its affiliates, or any person who was an employee of Employer or any of its affiliates, within the six-month period immediately preceding such solicitation of employment, other than such person (A) whose employment was terminated by the applicable person, or (B) who independently responded to a general solicitation for employment by Employee or Employee's affiliate; or (ii) induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of Employer or any of its affiliates, to terminate such employee's employment relationship with such person.

6.5 Employee will not use for Employee's personal benefit, disclose, communicate, divulge to, or use for the direct or indirect benefit of any person other than Employer or any of its affiliates any of such persons' Confidential Information. This Section 6.5 will apply during and after the period when Employee is an employee of Employer or any of its affiliates and will be in addition to (and not a limitation of) any legally applicable protections of Employer's interest in Confidential Information, trade secrets and the like. Employer acknowledges that "Confidential Information" does not include information which (a) was known to Employee before receipt from Employer; (b) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Employee; (c) is rightfully received by Employee from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (d) is disclosed by Employer to third party without a duty of confidentiality on the third party; (e) is independently developed by Employee without a breach of this Agreement; or (f) is disclosed by Employee with the Employer's prior written approval. Further, subject to Section 6.6 below, the Parties agree that "Confidential Information" does include general knowledge, skills and experience (including ideas, concepts, know-how and techniques) related to Employer's business ("General Knowledge") and that the subsequent use Employee of such General Knowledge as retained in his unaided memories, without reference to Confidential Information in written, electronic, or other fixed form, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

6.6 Except for Employee's pre-existing unrelated intellectual property, as defined in the attached "Amendments to the Employment Agreement" (Exhibit B) and other copyrighted works, any and all writings, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures advances, discoveries, works of authorship, and/or techniques ("Developments") that Employee may make, conceive, discover, or develop, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or protectable under mask works legislation or trademark laws, either solely or jointly with any other person, at any time during the Employment Term, whether or not during working hours and whether or not at the request or upon the suggestion of Employer or any of its affiliates, that relate to or are useful in connection with any business now or hereafter carried on or contemplated by Employer or such affiliate, including developments or expansions of its present fields of operations, will be Employer's sole and exclusive property. Employee hereby assigns to Employer and/or Employer's nominees all of Employee's right, title, and interest in any Developments, and hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Employer and each of Employer's duly authorized officers and agents as Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and in Employee's behalf and stead to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of Developments. Employee will make full disclosure to Employer of all such Developments and will do everything necessary or desirable to vest the absolute title thereto in Employer. Employee will write and prepare all specifications and procedures regarding such Developments and otherwise aid and assist Employer or any of its affiliates so that Employer or such affiliate, as the case may be, can prepare and present applications for copyright, letters patent therefor and can secure such copyright, letters patent, mask works, or trademark registrations, wherever possible, as well as reissues, renewals, and extensions thereof, and can obtain the record title to such copyright, letters patent, mask works, or trademark registrations so that Employer and/or its nominees will be the sole and absolute owner(s) thereof in all countries in which it may desire to have copyright, patent, mask work, or trademark protection. Employee will not be entitled to any additional or special compensation or reimbursement regarding any and all such Developments. These obligations will continue beyond the termination of employment for Developments that Employee conceives of or makes, in full or in part, during the Employment Term. Employer will pay Employee a reasonable hourly rate for work as well as Employee's out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such work. These obligations will continue beyond the termination of employment for Developments that Employee conceives of or makes, in full or in part, during the Employment Term.

6.7 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the equity interests of any person having a class of equity interests actively traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market will not be deemed, in and of itself, to breach the prohibitions of this Section 6. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions in this Section 6 are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect Employer and its affiliates. If any provision of this Section 6, as applied to either Party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental body, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the same will in no way affect any other circumstance or the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. If any such provision, or any part thereof, is held not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms because of the duration of such provision, the area covered thereby, or the scope of the activities covered, the Parties agree that the governmental body, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration, area, and/or scope of activities of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form such provision will then be enforceable in accordance with its terms and will be enforced. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the breach of any provision of this Section 6 will cause irreparable Damage to Employer and its 'affiliates and upon breach of any provision of this Section 6, Employer and its affiliates will be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief without bond or other security; provided, however, that the foregoing remedies will in no way limit any other remedies that Employer or its affiliates may have. Employer may, without notifying Employee, notify any subsequent employer of Employee of Employee's rights and obligations under this Section 6.

7.CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

7.1Employee represents to Employer as follows: (a) there are no restrictions, agreements, or understandings, oral or written, to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is bound that prevent or make unlawful Employee's execution or performance of this Agreement, and (b) Employee does not have any business or other relationship that creates a conflict between the interests of Employee and Employer.

7.2Employee recognizes and agrees that Employee owes Employer and its affiliates a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity, and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of Employer and its affiliates and to do no act which might injure the business, interests, or reputation of Employer or any of its affiliates. Employee's duty of loyalty will extend throughout the Employment Term and will continue following termination of this Agreement to the extent set forth in this Agreement and as recognized by applicable law. In keeping with Employee's fiduciary duty to Employer and its affiliates, Employee agrees that, during the Employment Term, Employee will not knowingly become involved in a conflict between his personal interests and those of Employer or any of its affiliates, and, upon discovery thereof, will not willfully allow such conflict of interest to continue. Employee agrees to disclose in writing to Employer any facts that could reasonably be expected to involve a material conflict of interest upon Employee's conscious awareness that such a material conflict could exist. Employee recognizes that it is impossible to provide an exhaustive list of actions or activities that constitute or might constitute a conflict of interest, but recognizes that these actions or activities may include the following:

(a) ownership of more than a 5% interest in any supplier, contractor, customer, or other person that does business with Employer or any of its affiliates;

(b) acting in any capacity, including as a director, officer, employee, partner, consultant, or agent, for any supplier, contractor, customer, or other person that does business with Employer or any of its affiliates;

(c) acceptance, directly or indirectly, of payments, services, or loans (other than entertainment, gifts, or other sales incentives that may be furnished in the Ordinary Course of Business) from a supplier, contractor, customer, or other person that does business with Employer or any of its affiliates;

(d) misuse or disclosure of information of any kind obtained through Employee's relationship with Employer; and

(e) appropriation by Employee or diversion to any other person, directly or indirectly, of any business opportunity in which it is known or could reasonably be anticipated that Employer or its affiliates would be interested.

In further recognition of the fiduciary duties Employee owes to Employer and its affiliates, Employee agrees that all documentation that Employee provides to Employer will be accurate in all material respects, when taken as a whole and in light of the circumstances in which it was made.

8.Payments In Certain Circumstances Following a "Change in Control" of Employer.

8.1"Change in Control" means (a) the acquisition, other than from Employer, by any individual, entity, or group of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of Employer or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Employer entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or (b) approval by the stockholders of Employer of (i) a reorganization, merger, consolidation, share exchange, or similar form of reorganization of Employer with respect to which the individuals and persons who were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock and voting securities of Employer immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding equity interests and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the person resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, (ii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of Employer, or (iii) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Employer's assets.

8.2 Subject to Section 8.3, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, Employee may elect, within 30 days of such Change in Control, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Employer and, in such event, will receive from Employer, within 30 days following the Employment Termination Date, a lump sum payment equal to a pro-rated amount of employee's Base Salary for a period of sixty days. All payments made pursuant to this Section 8.2 will be in lieu of, and not in addition to, payments would otherwise be made as a result of a termination without Cause pursuant to Section 5.4.

8.3 To the extent that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of Employee by Employer, any affiliate of Employer, any person who acquires ownership or effective control of Employer or ownership of a substantial portion of Employer's assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), or any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable under this Agreement or otherwise ("Payments"), is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then Employee will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") from Employer in an amount such that after payment by Employee of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income tax, employment tax, or Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. The determination of whether the Payments are subject to the Excise Tax and, if so, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, will be made by an accounting firm selected by Employer (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm will provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Parties within 20 days of the Employment Termination Date. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Employee with respect to the Payments, it will furnish the Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Employee that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payments and, absent manifest error, such Determination will be binding, final and conclusive upon the Parties. To avoid misunderstanding, the intent of this Section 8.3 is for Employee to retain, after payment of all taxes associated with the Payments and the Gross-Up Payment, an aggregate amount that will equal the amount that Employee would have retained if Section 4999 had not applied to the Payments.
