Exhibit 10.4

FINAL

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 18th day of June, 2012, between M. Xxxxxxx X. van Daalen (“Employee”) and National Patent Development Corporation ( “Parent”). Except as otherwise provided herein, the “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the “Closing Date” (as such term is defined in this Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Parent, Mergersub, The Winthrop Corporation (the “Company”) and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, as the Securityholders’ representative (as amended through the date hereof, the “Merger Agreement”)). This Agreement is expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement); should the Closing not occur, this Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect.

WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by the Company and currently serves as the Executive Vice President, Co-Chief Investment Officer, and Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income; and

WHEREAS, Parent and Employee have determined to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which Parent shall cause the Company to employ Employee on the terms and conditions set forth herein effective as of the Closing Date and Employee agrees to certain restrictive covenants.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, Parent agrees to cause the Company to employ Employee, and Employee hereby accepts such employment, on the terms and conditions set forth as follows:

1. Term. The term of Employee’s employment hereunder shall commence at the Effective Date and shall end on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that, unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 5 hereof, the Initial Term shall automatically be extended for one additional year (the “Renewal Term”), and on each subsequent anniversary, the Renewal Term shall be extended for one additional year (the period consisting of the Initial Term and the Renewal Term (including extensions thereof) being referred to as the “Employment Period”), unless at least six (6) months prior to the end of the applicable Employment Period, the Company or Employee shall have given written notice to the other not to extend the Employment Period. Nothing in this Section 1 shall limit the right of the Company or Employee to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof.

2. Duties and Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, Employee shall serve as Senior Managing Director – Co-Chief Investment Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income, and shall have such authority, duties and responsibilities as are commensurate with his position and have been historically exercised in such role in the Company. Such authority, duties and responsibilities shall continue to include responsibility for the Company’s current and future traditional and nontraditional fixed income products and shared responsibility with the Co-Chief Investment Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Global Equities of the Company for the Company’s overall asset allocation. Employee will also continue to serve as a member of the Company’s executive committee, which shall meet at such times as requested by, and to address such matters as presented by, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. During the Employment Period, Employee shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Employee also agrees to serve as an officer and/or director for Parent, the Company and/or any of Parent’s or the Company’s direct or indirect subsidiaries, in each case without additional compensation. During the Employment Period, Employee shall devote substantially all of his business time and attention to his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be a breach of Employee’s obligations hereunder for Employee, subject to the business needs of the Company, to serve as an officer, director or trustee of, or otherwise participate in, educational, welfare, social, religious, civic and other nonprofit organizations or manage his personal and family investments.

3. Place of Performance. Employee shall be employed at the location of the Company’s offices in Milford, Connecticut, except for travel as needed.

4. Compensation and Related Matters.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Employee shall be paid an annual base salary of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), subject to increases (but not decreases) at the discretion of the Compensation Committee (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, but in any event not less frequently than bi-monthly.

(b) Stay/Client Retention Bonus.

(i) Employee shall be eligible for a cash bonus equal to one hundred fourteen thousand dollars ($114,000), as reduced by the Reduction Percentage (such amount, less the amount elected pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii), the “Stay/Client Retention Bonus”).

(ii) Prior to the Effective Date, Employee may make a written election to receive a whole number of RSUs in lieu of any portion of the Stay/Client Retention Bonus (the “Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs”).

(iii) The Stay/Client Retention Bonus shall be paid to Employee in four installments as follows: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Stay/Client Retention Bonus (as reduced by the Reduction Percentage) on the Effective Date and (ii) the remaining amount (as reduced by the Reduction Percentage) in three equal installments on each of the one (1) year, two (2) year and three (3) year anniversaries of the Effective Date. Subject to Section 6, Employee must be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies on a particular anniversary date in order to receive a payment of any portion of the Stay/Client Retention Bonus due on such date and any portion of the Stay/Client Retention Bonus not so paid shall be forfeited.

(iv) The number of Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs, if any, to be granted to Employee shall be determined by dividing (A) the product of the percentage (not less than fifty (50%)) of the Stay/Client Retention Bonus that Employee has elected to receive in RSUs by the Stay/Client Retention Bonus, by (B) two dollars ($2.00). Employee shall become vested in the Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs in three equal installments on each of the one (1) year, two (2) year and three (3) year anniversaries of the Effective Date; provided that, Employee shall automatically forfeit that number of his Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs equal to the Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs awarded to Employee multiplied by the Reduction Percentage; and provided further that, except as provided in Section 6, Employee shall only become vested in Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs on any anniversary date if Employee is employed by the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies on such anniversary date. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, subject to Sections 8 and 10, vested Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs shall settle in Shares on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date. Subject to Section 6, to the extent Employee is not vested in the Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs as of his Date of Termination, Employee shall forfeit such non-vested Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs without consideration.

(i) With respect to each fiscal year (or with respect to 2012, the portion of a fiscal year of the Company) ending during the Initial Term, Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Schedule A;

(ii) With respect to each fiscal quarter ending during the Initial Term, Employee shall be eligible to receive a quarterly incentive bonus (the “Quarterly Bonus”) as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Schedule A; and

(iii) Employee shall also be eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

(d) Equity.

(i) Stay/Client Retention RSUs. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, Parent shall grant Employee fifty-seven thousand (57,000) Stay/Client Retention RSUs (as reduced by the Reduction Percentage) with respect to which Employee shall become vested in three equal installments of nineteen thousand (19,000) on each of the one (1) year, two (2) year and three (3) year anniversaries of the Effective Date, in each case as reduced by the Reduction Percentage; provided that, Employee shall automatically forfeit that number of his Stay/Client Retention RSUs equal to the Stay/Client Retention RSUs awarded to Employee on the Effective Date multiplied by the Reduction Percentage; and provided further that, except as provided in Section 6, Employee shall only become vested in Stay/Client Retention RSUs on any anniversary date if Employee is employed by the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies on such anniversary date. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, vested Stay/Client Retention RSUs shall settle in Shares on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date. Subject to Section 6, to the extent Employee is not vested in the Stay/Client Retention RSUs as of his Date of Termination, Employee shall forfeit such non-vested Stay/Client Retention RSUs without consideration.

(ii) Equity Grant RSUs. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, Parent shall grant Employee one hundred forty-four thousand eight hundred seventy-six (144,876) Equity Grant RSUs with respect to which Employee shall be immediately vested on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Equity Grant RSUs shall settle in Shares on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date.

(e) Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, Employee shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans and arrangements that are made available generally to other similarly situated executives of the Company and are substantially comparable to the Company’s employee benefit plans and arrangements in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date (excluding equity-based compensation, pension benefits and any benefit plan not specifically included on a schedule to the Merger Agreement). Employee’s benefits that have been accrued under the Company’s Officers’ Retirement Bonus Program, as amended and restated December 30, 2008, if any, shall be paid to Employee in accordance with the terms of such Officers’ Retirement Bonus Program.

(f) Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse Employee for ordinary and necessary reasonable expenses that Employee incurs during the Employment Period in performing his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy.

(g) Paid Time Off. During the Employment Period, Employee shall be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the policies made available to other similarly situated executives of the Company.

(i) Accrued Obligations;

(iv) Employee’s Equity Grant RSUs shall be settled on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date; and

(v) Solely in the event of Employee’s voluntary termination of his employment during the Employment Period without Good Reason (other than on account of his death or Disability), the Company, in its sole discretion, may pay Employee a cash amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Employee’s then Base Salary (the “Garden Leave Pay”) provided that, if and to the extent that the Company does not pay such Garden Leave Pay (other than due to Employee’s refusal to execute a Release of Claims or Employee’s breach of this Agreement), the Company and Parent shall be deemed to have waived its future rights under Section 8(b)(i) and Employee shall thereafter have no further obligations under such Section 8(b)(i) (but for the avoidance of doubt, Employee shall remain obligated to comply with all other provisions of this Agreement). The Garden Leave Pay shall be paid in four (4) substantially equal monthly installments commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following Employee’s Date of Termination.

(e) Termination by Company without Cause, by Employee with Good Reason, or due to the Company’s Non-Renewal of the Employment Period. If Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated during the Employment Period (i) by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of Disability), (ii) by Employee with Good Reason, or (iii) as a result of the Company’s (and not Employee’s) non-renewal of the Employment Period in accordance with Section 1 above, then subject to Sections 6(g), 8 and 10 (other than with respect to Accrued Obligations), then Employee shall be entitled to only the following:

(i) Accrued Obligations;

(ii) a cash severance benefit equal to the total amount of Employee’s Base Salary (disregarding any reduction in Base Salary that may have given rise to Good Reason hereunder and assuming that Employee’s then-current Base Salary would have remained in effect during such period) that would have been paid to him until the end of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term (but in no event shall such amount be less than six (6) months’ Base Salary), as applicable;

(iii) any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus, if any, attributable to full fiscal years completed prior to the Date of Termination, to be paid at the same time that such bonus would have been paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

(iv) any earned but unpaid Quarterly Bonus, if any, attributable to any full fiscal quarter completed prior to the Date of Termination, to be paid at the same time as such bonus would have been paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

(vi) Employee’s Equity Grant RSUs shall be settled on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date;

(vii) any vested and unvested portion of Employee’s Stay/Client Retention RSUs and Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs shall become immediately vested and shall be settled on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date; and

(viii) access to continued health benefits following the Date of Termination for a period equal to the longer of the end of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable or such period as required by Section 4980B of the Code or other applicable law, during which, for a period not longer than six (6) months, the Company shall continue to pay the same percentage of the monthly premiums as the Company pays on behalf of then-current employees; provided, however, that if Employee becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive health care benefits under another employer-provided plan, the health care benefits provided hereunder shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 6(e)(viii) shall be provided solely to the extent that such benefits do not cause the Company to incur excise taxes.

The amount described in Section 6(e)(ii) shall be paid in monthly installments at a rate substantially equal to the monthly Base Salary rate paid to Employee as of the Date of Termination commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following Employee’s Date of Termination.

(f) No Further Benefits. Employee acknowledges that the amounts payable and the benefits provided pursuant to this Section 6 are the exclusive items in the nature of salary, bonus, benefits and perquisites to which Employee is entitled in connection with the termination of his employment during the Employment Period or due to non-renewal by Employee or Company of this Agreement in accordance with Section 1 above.

(g) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to Section 6 other than Accrued Obligations (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Employee’s execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company and its Affiliated Companies in substantially the form attached hereto as an Exhibit (a “Release of Claims”) within sixty (60) days following the date of Employee’s Date of Termination. If Employee fails to execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely revokes his acceptance of such release following its execution, Employee shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. Further, to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following Employee’s Date of Termination, but for the condition on executing the Release of Claims as set forth herein, shall not be made until the sixtieth (60th) day, after which any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided to Employee according to the applicable schedule set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a termination due to Employee’s death or Disability, Employee’s obligations herein to execute and not revoke the Release of Claims may be satisfied on his behalf by his estate or a person having legal power of attorney over his affairs.

(h) Call Right. If Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated during the Employment Period by the Company with Cause or by Employee without Good Reason (other than on account of his death or Disability) prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date, Parent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert any and all Equity Grant RSUs, Stay/Client Retention RSUs and Stay/Client Retention Bonus RSUs to Converted RSUs. Following the conversion of an Equity Grant RSU or Stay/Client Retention RSU to a Converted RSU, such Equity Grant RSU or Stay/Client Retention RSU shall cease to represent a right to a Share.

7. No Mitigation; Limited Offset. The Company agrees that if Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, Employee shall not be required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to Employee by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by Employee as the result of employment by another company, by retirement benefits, or otherwise, except as specifically provided herein. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Employee acknowledges that any amounts payable to Employee by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall be contingent upon Employee’s continued compliance with the terms of Section 8 hereof.

8. Covenants. For purposes of this Section 8, the provisions of this Section 8 shall be effective as of the date hereof (and not the Effective Date):

(a) Confidential Information.

(i) During the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the five (5) year period immediately following the Date of Termination, Employee shall hold all Confidential Information in strictest confidence and shall not use or disclose such Confidential Information, or cause it to be used or disclosed, other than as required in performance of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company or unless first specifically authorized in writing by the Company to Employee.

(ii) In the event that Employee is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, Employee agrees to give the Company prompt advance written notice thereof and to provide the Company with reasonable assistance, at the Company’s cost and expense, in obtaining an order to protect the Confidential Information from public disclosure.

(b) Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation. Employee recognizes the benefits derived by him from his employment or engagement by the Company and that the continuation of such benefits is dependent upon the continued success of the Company which, in turn, is dependent in part upon the preservation of the Company’s relationships with its clients. Employee believes it to be in his own best interests and in the best interests of the Company, its stockholders, and its other employees to preserve the Company’s relationships with its clients. In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, Employee hereby agrees as follows:

(i) Subject to Section 6(d)(v), during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until six (6) months following Employee’s Date of Termination (regardless of whether Employee has terminated employment with the Company or an Affiliated Company), and Employee shall not engage, directly or indirectly, in any business activities in which the Company or any Affiliated Company is engaged (or has committed plans to engage) during the Employment Period;

(ii) During the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the later of (A) the last day of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term (regardless of whether Employee has terminated employment with the Company or an Affiliated Company) and (B) twelve (12) months following Employee’s Date of Termination, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, (I) encourage, solicit or induce, or in any manner attempt to encourage, solicit or induce, any individual employed by, or individual or entity providing consulting services to, the Company or any Affiliated Company to terminate such employment or consulting services; provided that, the foregoing shall not be violated by general advertising not targeted at employees or consultants of the Company or any Affiliated Company; (II) hire any individual who was employed by any member of the Company or any Affiliated Company within the six (6) month period prior to the date of such hiring; or (III) encourage, solicit or induce, or in any manner attempt to encourage, solicit or induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company or any Affiliated Company to cease doing business with or materially reduce the amount of business conducted with the Company or any Affiliated Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any Affiliated Company. Employee agrees further not to engage during the one (1) year period following his Date of Termination for any reason in any such activities prohibited by this Section 8(b)(ii) to the extent that any activity would involve the use of Confidential Information or trade secrets of the Company; and

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, it is understood that Employee shall have the right and privilege at any time to invest in any competitive enterprise or business whose capital stock is listed on a national securities exchange in the United States, provided that the total direct and indirect investment of Employee, Employee’s spouse and Employee’s dependents, represents not more than two percent (2%) of the total capital stock of such enterprise. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or restrict Employee from investing in any non-competitive enterprise or business.

(c) Nondisparagement. During the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Termination, neither Employee nor his agents shall directly or indirectly issue or communicate any public statement, or statement likely to become public, that maligns, denigrates or disparages Parent, the Company or any Affiliated Company, or any of their respective officers, directors or employees. During the same period, the officers and directors of Parent, the Company, and any Affiliated Company shall not directly or indirectly issue or communicate any public statement, or statement likely to become public, that maligns, denigrates or disparages Employee. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful responses to legal process or governmental inquiry.

(d) Survival of Covenants. To the extent the covenants contained in this Section 8 apply following termination of the Employment Period, such covenants shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Injunctive Relief. Employee and the Company recognize that, Employee’s services, and the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder, are of a unique, special and extraordinary character, and that in the event that either party violates any provision of this Agreement, the other party may be without adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any violation of this Agreement, both Employee and the Company shall be entitled, either in law or in equity, to enforce specific performance, to enjoin such violations, or to obtain any other injunctive relief or any combination of the foregoing as Employee or the Company may elect to pursue.

(f) Acknowledgements. The parties have entered into this Agreement in the belief that its provisions are valid, reasonable and enforceable. If any one or more of the provisions shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained therein.

9. Successors; Binding Agreement.

(a) The parties agree that Parent shall assign this Agreement to the Company immediately following the closing of the Merger; provided that, following such assignment, Parent shall remain an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement. In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Employee to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms to which Employee would be entitled hereunder if Employee were to terminate his employment with Good Reason, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns and Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Employee shall die while any amount would still be payable to Employee hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of Employee) if Employee had continued to live, each such amount, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

10. Clawback/Recoupment Policy. If Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Employee without Good Reason, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of Employee’s breach of Section 8 or the Board’s good faith determination that Employee intentionally had failed to disclose, or cause the disclosure of, material liabilities of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Company shall have the right to clawback, and require Employee to repay, any portion of the Stay/Client Retention Bonus and Stay/Client Retention RSUs paid or settled within the prior twelve (12) months or thereafter.

11. Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or sent by reputable international overnight courier, addressed, if to Employee, to the address inserted below Employee’s signature on the final page hereof and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below (with required copy), or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Employee and a duly authorized officer of the Company.

(b) No waiver by Employee or the Company at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

(c) Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement supersedes any other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by any party.

(d) Captions and section headings in this Agreement are provided merely for convenience and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions herein.

(e) The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict-of-law rules.

(f) The obligations of the Company and Employee under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the termination of the Employment Period shall survive such termination.

(g) Except to the extent materially conflicting with this Agreement, Employee agrees that he shall abide by, and shall conduct business in accordance with and subject to, all applicable policies and procedures of the Company, including all employee and ethical policies of the Company, and all client conflict-of-interest policies applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries generally, as such policies may exist from time to time. Employee also understands and agrees that the business and affairs of the Company shall be conducted in accordance with the Company’s corporate policies and strict legal and ethical standards, including, without limitation, compliance with all commercial, tax, labor and other laws (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).

13. Tax Withholding; Section 409A.

(a) Any payments or benefits provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which Employee has agreed.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following shall apply:

(i) In the event that Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Date of Termination), any amount that constitutes a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan that would otherwise be payable or provided during the six-month period immediately following the Date of Termination shall instead be paid or provided on the first business day after the date that is six months following Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code;

(ii) To the extent required by Code Section 409A, any payment or benefits otherwise due to Employee upon his termination of employment with the Company that constitutes a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan shall not be made until and unless such termination from employment constitutes a “separation from service” as such term is defined under Code Section 409A. This provision shall have no effect on payments or benefits otherwise due or payable to Employee or on his behalf which are not on account of his termination from employment with the Company or as a result of his death.

14. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of Employee’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in New York City, New York in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. The Company shall be responsible for payment of the arbitrator’s fees; all other fees and expenses of the arbitration, including a transcript if either party requests, shall be borne equally by Employee and the Company.

4. Severability. In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision hereof or any surviving agreement made a part hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or portion of provision.

5. No Oral Modification. This Agreement may only be amended in a writing signed by Employee and a duly authorized officer of the Company.
