NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties contained herein and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Such payments shall be subject to all required tax withholdings.

In addition, if the Company undergoes a Change of Control or sells or licenses all or substantially all of the rights to manufacture and sell Re-Tain™, and at the time of such Change of Control, sale or license the Executive is an employee of the Company, the Company will make the payments to the Executive described in the first paragraph of this Section 1(a).

Such payments shall be subject to all required tax withholdings and, in the case of incentive stock options, to execution of standard Company documentation in accordance with the Company’s incentive stock option plan.

2. Non-Solicitation.
