(c) Bonus Plan; Annual Bonus.  In addition, Employee will be eligible to participate in AuthenTec’s annual bonus plans which are generally available to other senior level employees of AuthenTec as may be approved from time to time.

(ii)  Vacation.  Employee shall be entitled to an annual vacation of two (2) weeks per year for the first  year of employment and increasing to three  (3) weeks per year thereafter.  Unused vacation shall be accrued pursuant to the Company’s policy.

(iii) Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable travel, temporary lodging, entertainment and other expenses incurred or paid by Employee in connection with or related to the performance of his duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, provided that Employee submits to the Company substantiation of such expenses sufficient to satisfy the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and the record keeping guidelines promulgated from time to time by the Internal Revenue Service.

(iv) Indemnification; Liability Insurance:  Company agrees to indemnify Employee and hold Employee harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and under the bylaws of Company against and in respect to any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses, and damages resulting from the Employee’s good-faith performance of his duties and obligations.  Company shall cover Employee under directors and officers’ liability insurance both during and, while potential liability exists, after the terms of this Agreement in substantially the same amount and on substantially the same terms as Company covers its other active officers and directors.

The preceding provision, however, shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect to Employee under this Agreement.

(ii) For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

(iii) With respect to any reimbursement of expenses of, or any provision of in-kind benefits to, Employee, as specified under this Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(iv) "Termination of employment," or words of similar import, as used in this Agreement means, for purposes of any payments under this Agreement that are payments of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, the Employee's "separation from service" as defined in Section 409A.

(v) If a payment obligation under this Agreement or other compensation arrangement arises on account of Employee's separation from service while Employee is a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A and determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee), any payment of "deferred compensation" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) that is scheduled to be paid within six (6) months after such separation from service shall accrue without interest and shall be paid within 15 days after the end of the six-month period beginning on the date of such separation from service or, if earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of Employee's estate following his death.

(i) Notices.  Unless otherwise herein provided, notice required or permitted to be given to a party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be effective and deemed given under this Agreement on the earliest of:  (i) the date of personal delivery; (ii) the date of delivery by facsimile; or (iii) the next business day after deposit with a nationally-recognized courier or overnight service, including FedEx or Express Mail, for United Sates deliveries or three (3) business days after such deposit for deliveries outside of the United States.  All notices not delivered personally or by facsimile will be sent with postage and other charges prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.  All notices for delivery outside the United States will be sent by facsimile, or by nationally recognized courier or overnight service, including Express Mail.  Notices to the Company by Employee will be marked to the Chairman of the Board.
