In consideration of the mutual agreements set forth below and set forth in the Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit_A (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”), and for other good and valuable consideration given by each party to this Agreement to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company agrees to hire Executive and Executive agrees to serve the Company as an employee pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions that follow.

1. Employment.

(a) The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to accept employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, effective as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). Executive’s employment with the Company shall continue until three (3) years from the Effective Date, subject to earlier termination of such employment pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Employment Period”).

2. Duties.

(a) During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”). Executive’s duties and responsibilities as CEO shall include the day-to-day management and operation of the Company’s business, as well as those duties customarily associated with an officer with a similar title or as may be assigned to him from time to time by the Board. Executive shall serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) for successive terms during the Employment Period. Executive shall devote his full-time attention and energies in his employment with the Company; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be interpreted as prohibiting Executive from (i) serving on the Boards of Directors of unrelated companies or (ii) in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Company, managing his personal affairs or engaging in charitable or civic activities, so long as, in each case, such activities do not interfere in any material respect with the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.

3. Compensation and Benefits. In consideration of entering into this Agreement and as full compensation for Executive’s services hereunder, during the Employment Period, Executive shall receive the following compensation and benefits:

(a) Base Salary. The Executive shall receive an initial base salary of $275,000.00 per year (“Base Salary”). Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the payroll policies from time to time in effect at the Company. Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to increase (but not decrease) on an annual basis as the Board shall determine.

(b) Incentive Bonuses. In addition to Base Salary, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus targeted at fifty percent (50%) of Base Salary, with the potential to receive up to one hundred percent (100%) of Base Salary, based on the achievement of financial and business criteria determined by the Board in consultation with Executive, such criteria to include, without limitation, agreed upon sales and EBITDA targets (the “Incentive Bonus”). The Incentive Bonus will be paid in cash within forty-five (45) days after the Company’s receipt of audited financial statements for the prior fiscal year (but in no event later than one hundred and thirty-five (135) days after the end of such prior fiscal year).

(c) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks vacation per calendar year, accrued in accordance with the usual vacation policies in effect at the Company.

(d) Benefits. Executive shall participate in and be entitled to receive, but without duplication, all benefits, including paid time off, offered to senior executives of the Company.

(e) Stock Options. The Executive will be granted non-qualified options to purchase shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (such options are referred to herein as the “Stock Options”). The Company has awarded Stock Options to Executive to purchase 14,564 of its Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $88.75 per share pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement and Notice of Stock Option Grant dated as of January 1, 2006 (the “Stock Option Agreement”). Stock Options, and stock issuable upon exercise thereof, will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the “Option Plan”). All Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall fully vest upon a Change of Control. In the event of an initial public offering of the Common Stock in an underwritten offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (an “IPO”), fifty percent (50%) of the then unvested Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall vest and become exercisable (subject to customary lock-ups).

(f) “Fully Diluted Basis” shall mean the total number of shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding plus the total number of shares of Common Stock which would be issued and outstanding assuming the exercise of all outstanding options issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, the exercise of all warrants or rights to purchase Common Stock and the conversion of all outstanding securities, including the Company’s Series A-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and Series

A-2 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”).

(g) Change of Control Defined. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean, with respect to the Company, a transaction or a series of related transactions involving:

(i) The sale of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the assets (based on their fair market value) of the Company; or

(ii) The sale by the Company or stockholders of the Company in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions after the Effective Date of equity securities in the Company constituting greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power thereof; or

(iii) Any consolidation, merger or recapitalization of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which the Company’s voting stock would be converted into cash, securities and/or other property, other than any such transaction in which holders of the Company’s voting stock immediately before the transaction, in the aggregate, have (or upon conversion, exercise or similar action would have) on the same proportionate basis that existed prior to the transaction, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of all issued and outstanding securities of the surviving corporation after the transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock shall not be deemed a “Change of Control”.

(h) “Business Day” shall mean any day of the year on which national banking institutions in Orange County, California and New York, New York are open to the public for conducting business and are not required or authorized to close

4. Reimbursement for Expenses. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to incur on behalf of the Company reasonable and necessary expenses in connection with his duties in accordance with the Company’s policies and the Company shall pay for or reimburse Executive for all such expenses upon presentation of proper receipts therefore including, without limitation, (a) reimbursement for air travel expenses for coach commercial airline travel for Executive to fly to and/or from his home to Orange County, California up to two (2) round trips per week, including the reasonable costs of ground transportation and parking generally associated with air travel (such costs not to exceed $350.00 per round trip); provided, however, should Executive elect to make such trips with his personal aircraft, Executive will be reimbursed for the costs associated with such travel (such costs not to exceed $350.00 per round trip) and (b) the costs of monthly lease, insurance and maintenance payments for an open ended lease as quoted by Automotive Resources International for a vehicle one grade above those provided to GDS’s field representatives generally.

12. Assignability. The duties and obligations of Executive may not be delegated and Executive may not, without the Company’s written consent thereto, assign, transfer, convey, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any interest herein, provided that any rights to compensation or benefits hereunder shall accrue for the benefit of and may be enforced by Executive’s estate or legal representatives, heirs and successors. Any such attempted delegation or disposition shall be null and void and without effect. The Company and Executive agree that this Agreement and all of the Company’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned or transferred by the Company to and may be assumed by and become binding upon and may inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company. The term “successor” shall mean (with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries) any other corporation or other business entity which, by merger, consolidation, purchase of the assets, or otherwise, acquires all or a material part of its assets.

The Company agrees to provide Executive prior written notice of any transaction with any successor and, if such successor succeeds to the business of the Company by purchase of assets, to provide the Executive evidence of the assumption of this Agreement.

13. Modification. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the parties. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived except in writing by the party charged with waiver. A waiver will operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and will not constitute a waiver for the future or act on anything other than that which is specifically waived.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement has been executed and delivered in the State of California and its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement will be governed by the laws of that state applicable to contacts made and to be performed entirely within that state.

15. Severability. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. In the event any provision or restriction contained herein is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, in whole or in part, such finding will in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree that any such invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it will be enforced to the greatest extent permissible under law, and to the extent

that any court of competent jurisdiction determines any restriction herein to be unreasonable in any respect, such court may limit this Agreement to render it reasonable in the light of the circumstances in which it was entered into and specifically enforce this Agreement as limited.

16. No Waiver. No course of dealing or any delay on the part of the Company or Executive in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights. No waiver of any default or breach of this Agreement shall be deemed a continuing waiver of any other breach or default.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original by the party executing the same but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

18. Binding Arbitration.

(a) Generally. Executive and the Company hereby agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the employment relationship between Executive and the Company, or the termination thereof, including the arbitrability of any controversy or claim, which cannot be settled by mutual agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (or if not applicable, the applicable state arbitration law) as follows: Any party who is aggrieved will deliver a notice to the other party setting forth the specific points in dispute. Any points remaining in dispute twenty (20) days after the giving of such notice may, upon ten (10) days’ notice to the other party, be submitted to arbitration in Orange County, California, to the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as such procedures and rules may be amended from time to time and modified only as herein expressly provided. The arbitrator may enter a default decision against any party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall not be subject to this Section 18 and shall be resolved only in accordance with provisions of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

(b) Binding Effect. The decision of the arbitrator on the points in dispute will be final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties agree that this provision has been adopted by the parties to rapidly and inexpensively resolve any disputes between them and that this provision will be grounds for dismissal of any court action commenced by either party with respect to this Agreement, other than post-arbitration actions seeking to enforce an arbitration award. In the event that any court determines that this arbitration procedure is not binding, or otherwise allows any litigation regarding a dispute, claim, or controversy covered by this Agreement to proceed, the parties hereto hereby waive any and all right to a trial by jury in or with respect to such litigation.

(c) Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law, the arbitrator will be authorized to apportion its fees and expenses and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of either party as the arbitrator deems appropriate. In the absence of any such apportionment, the fees and expenses of the arbitrator will be borne equally by each party, and each party will bear the fees and expenses of its own attorney.

(d) Confidentiality. The parties will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any person (except to their legal advisors, in order to enforce any award hereunder or as may be required by law), the existence of any controversy under this Section 18, the referral of any such controversy to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof. In addition, the confidentiality restrictions set forth in the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(e) Waiver. Executive acknowledges that this agreement to submit to arbitration includes all controversies or claims of any kind (e.g., whether in contract or in tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable) now existing or hereafter arising under any federal, state, local or foreign law (except for any claims or controversy arising out of the Non-Disclosure Agreement), including, but not limited to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act and all similar federal, state and local laws, and Executive hereby waives all rights thereunder to have a judicial tribunal and/or a jury determine such claims.

(f) Acknowledgment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that before entering into this Agreement, it has had the opportunity to consult with any attorney or other advisor of its choice, and that this provision constitutes advice from the other party to do so. Each party further acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement of its own free will, and that no promises or representations have been made to it by any person to induce it to enter into this Agreement other than the express terms set forth herein. Each party further acknowledges that it has read this Agreement and understands all of its terms, including the waiver of rights set forth in this Section. Executive may take up to twenty-one (21) days from today to consider, sign and return this Agreement. In addition, Executive may revoke this Agreement after signing it, but only by delivering a signed revocation notice to the Company within seven (7) days of signing this Agreement. Such a revocation shall constitute a resignation from Executive’s employment, and shall void this Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, except for paragraph 1 of the Non-Disclosure Agreement regarding Executive’s duty not to use or disclose confidential information, which shall remain in full force and effect.

19. Counsel Fees of Executive. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to Executive incurred in connection with negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any agreements or other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, including, without limitation, any

amendments, modifications or waivers of this Agreement or any agreements or other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith (collectively, “Ancillary Agreements”). The parties agree to work in good faith in order to complete any Ancillary Agreement in as expeditious a manner as practicable. To the extent that the Company’s payment of any of the expenses set forth herein constitute W-2 wage income to Executive, the Company shall gross up the amount of such payment to reimburse Executive for taxes thereon.

20. 280(g) Gross-up. Each of the Company and the Executive agree to be bound by the provisions of Exhibit C attached hereto.

21. Stockholders Agreement. For purposes of the Stockholders Agreement (a) the “Non-Compete Period” shall mean, with respect to Executive, one (1) year and (b) Section 6.1(i)(b) shall not be applicable to Executive.

of Executive’s employment by the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement, there are no Discoveries or Intellectual Property with respect to the Company conceived of, developed or made by Executive before the date of this Agreement which have not been disclosed to and assigned to the Company.

3. Whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive further agrees to execute and acknowledge all papers and to do, at the Company’s expense, any and all other things necessary for or incident to the applying for, obtaining and maintaining of such letters patent, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights, as the case may be, and to execute, on request, all papers necessary to assign and transfer such Discoveries and Intellectual Property to the Company, its successors and assigns. In the event that the Company is unable, after reasonable efforts and in any event, after ten (10) Business Days, to secure Executive’s signature on a written assignment to the Company, of any application for letters patent, trademark registration or to any common law or statutory copyright or other property right therein, whether because of his physical or mental incapacity, or for any other reason whatsoever, the Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of the Company as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to act on the Executive’s behalf to execute and file any such applications and to do all lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution or issuance of such assignments, letters patent, copyright or trademark.

4. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Company or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, are hereby reserved, to discharge Executive at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

5. No Conflicting Agreements. Executive warrants that Executive is not bound by the terms of a confidentiality agreement or other agreement with a third party that would conflict with Executive’s obligations hereunder. Alternatively, Executive agrees to provide the Company with a copy of any and all agreements with a third party that preclude or limit, or may preclude or limit, Executive’s right to make disclosures or assignments prior to Executive commencing employment. Executive acknowledges that the existence of such precluding or limiting agreements with a third party may result in withdrawal of employment by the Company.

6. Remedies. In the event of breach or threatened breach by Executive of any provision hereof, the Company shall be entitled to (i) temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and without the posting of any bond or other security and (ii) any other legal and equitable relief to which it may be entitled, including monetary damages. The prevailing party in any litigation or other request for relief against Executive in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement shall be entitled to the recovery of all attorney’s fees and costs. In the event the Company is the prevailing party, it shall be entitled to the cessation of, and repayment by Executive to the Company of, any severance payments payable or paid to Executive pursuant to the Employment Agreement. The Company may pursue any remedy available, including declaratory relief, concurrently or consecutively in any order, and the pursuit of one such remedy at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other remedy.

7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive and Executive’s heirs, assigns and representatives and inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and assigns, including without limitation any entity to which substantially all of the assets or the business of the Company are sold or transferred. The obligations of Executive are personal to Executive and shall not be assigned by Executive.

8. Severability. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. In the event any provision or restriction contained herein is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, in whole or in part, such finding will in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree that any such invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it will be enforced to the greatest extent permissible under law, and to the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction determines any restriction herein to be unreasonable in any respect, such court may limit this Agreement to render it reasonable in the light of the circumstances in which it was entered into and specifically enforce this Agreement as limited.

9. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and be deemed given when telecopied, delivered by hand or received by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by nationally reorganized overnight courier service addressed to the party to receive such notice at the following address or any other address substituted therefor by notice pursuant to these provisions:

10. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, amended, waived or discharged in any manner except by a written instrument executed by the Company and Executive.

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties hereto, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, however, if any portion of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable by a court of law, then solely the appropriate conflicting provisions of any other agreement binding upon Executive shall control.

12. Waiver, etc. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or any provision hereof or the right of the Company to enforce thereafter each and every provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Company shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument executed by the Company, and no waiver of any such breach shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed therein without reference to conflicts of law principles, except as otherwise provided.

14. Enforcement.

Each party irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of California for all suits or actions arising out of this Agreement. Each party hereto waives to the fullest extent possible, the defense of an inconvenient forum, and each agrees that a final judgment in any action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed and delivered this Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement to be effective as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT B

Release of Claims

(See Attached)

EXHIBIT C

280G Provision

(a) In the event that the Executive shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to the Executive at the time specified in subsection (d) below (x) an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Company Payments and any U.S. federal, state, and local income or payroll tax upon the Gross-up Payment provided for by this paragraph (a), but before deduction for any U.S. federal, state, and local income or payroll tax on the Company Payments, shall be equal to the Company Payments and (y) an amount equal to the product of any deductions disallowed for federal, state or local income tax purposes because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in the Executive’s adjusted gross income multiplied by the highest applicable marginal rate of federal, state or local income taxation, respectively, for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made.

(b) For purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments and Gross-up Payments (collectively the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (x) the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected by such accountants or the Company (the “Accountants”) such Total Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” including giving effect to the recalculation of stock options in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 33, represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (y) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code. To the extent permitted under Revenue Procedure 2003-68, the value determination shall be recalculated to the extent it would be beneficial to the Executive, at the request of the Executive. In the event that the Accountants are serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the “Accountants” hereunder). All determinations hereunder shall be made by the Accountants which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive at such time as it is requested by the Company or the Executive. If the Accountants determine that payments under

this Agreement must be reduced pursuant to this paragraph, they shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion to such effect. The determination of the Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Executive.

(c) For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay U.S. federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of U.S. federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence for the calendar year in which the Company Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in U.S. federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such year. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined by the Accountants to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made, the Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the prior Gross-up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and U.S. federal, state and local income tax imposed on the portion of the Gross-up Payment being repaid by the Executive if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax or a U.S. federal, state and local income tax deduction), plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any portion of the Gross-up Payment to be refunded to the Company has been paid to any U.S. federal, state and local tax authority, repayment thereof (and related amounts) shall not be required until actual refund or credit of such portion has been made to the Executive, and interest payable to the Company shall not exceed the interest received or credited to the Executive by such tax authority for the period it held such portion. The Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the course of action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expense thereof) if the Executive’s claim for refund or credit is denied.

In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Accountant or the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalties payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

(d) The Gross-up Payment or portion thereof provided for in subsection (c) above shall be paid not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following an event occurring which subjects the Executive to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such Gross-up Payment or portion thereof cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Accountant, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code), subject to further payments pursuant to subsection (c) hereof, as soon as the amount thereof can reasonably be determined, but in no event later than the ninetieth day after the occurrence of the event subjecting the Executive to the Excise Tax. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the

Company to the Executive, payable on the fifth day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

(e) In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, the Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Executive, but the Executive shall control any other issues. In the event the issues are interrelated, the Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree the Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany the Executive, and the Executive and the Executive’s representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.

(f) The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountant.

(g) The Company and the Executive shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any written communications, and summaries of any verbal communications, with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax covered by this provision.

(h) Nothing in this Section is intended to violate the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and to the extent that any advance or repayment obligation hereunder would do so, such obligation shall be modified so as to make the advance a nonrefundable payment to Executive and the repayment obligation null and void.

(the “Company”) pursuant to Sections 6(c)(ii), 6(c)(iii) and 6(c)(v) of my Employment Agreement with the Company, dated August 15, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”), I, Xxxxxx X.

3.		I represent, warrant and agree that I have not filed any complaint, grievance, charge or claim with or before any local, state or federal agency or board, union or any court

		or other tribunal, relating to the Company, my employment with, or the termination of my employment at, the Company and asserting any Released Claim. I further represent that I will not commence, participate in, prosecute or assist in the commencement, participation or prosecution of any complaints, grievance, charges or claims against the Company with any governmental agency, union or any court concerning my employment with, or termination of my employment at, the Company and asserting any Released Claim.

4.		I understand that this Waiver and Release of Claims does not apply to or release any claim with respect to (a) any rights or benefits which survive after the Termination Date pursuant to the Employment Agreement, (b) the Severance Benefits, (c) my enforcement of the terms of the Amended and Restated Call Option Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2006, between myself and American Capital Strategies, Ltd. and the following other agreements between me and the Company [list applicable agreements at time of execution, i.e., Stockholders Agreement, Option Agreements, etc.], (d) any rights or obligations under applicable law that cannot be waived or released pursuant to an agreement, (e) my right to enforce this Waiver and Release of Claims, (f) the rights of indemnification and directors and officers liability insurance coverage to which I may be entitled with regard to my service as an officer or director of the Company, whether pursuant to the Employment Agreement or otherwise, (g) my rights as a stockholder of the Company and (h) any rights with regard to accrued benefits under COBRA or any benefit plan, policy or arrangement maintained by the Company that expressly provides for the survival of any benefits after termination (other than any severance plan, policy or similar arrangement). I further understand that this Waiver and Release of Claims does not modify or reduce my obligations under my Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement with the Company, dated August 15, 2006 (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”).

5.		I understand that continued receipt of the Severance Benefits are conditioned upon my continued compliance with the terms and provisions contained in this Waiver and Release of Claims.
