to Section 10 hereof.

3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve
as a Senior Vice President and chief commercial officer of the Company’s

4. Place of Performance. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
based primarily at the Company’s offices in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma or such
other Company location as reasonably required by the Executive’s duties to the
Company.

5. Compensation and Benefits; Equity Awards.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the
Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of no less than $
498,623 per calendar year, less applicable deductions. The Base Salary shall be
reviewed for increase by the Board no less frequently than annually and shall be
increased in the discretion of the Board and any such adjusted Base Salary shall
constitute the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. The Base Salary
shall be paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with the
Company’s regular payroll procedures.

(b) Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be paid an
annual cash performance bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) under the Company’s annual
bonus plan (as in effect from time to time for senior executives) in respect of
each fiscal year that ends during the Employment Period, to the extent earned
based on performance against performance criteria. The performance criteria for
any particular fiscal year shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of
the Board (the “Committee”), in good faith, after consultation with the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, no later than sixty (60) days after the
commencement of the relevant bonus period. The Executive’s annual bonus
opportunity shall be no less than 70% of the Executive’s Base Salary as of the
beginning of the applicable performance period (the “Target Bonus”), if target
levels of performance for that year are achieved, up to a maximum of 140% of the
Executive’s Base Salary. The Executive’s Annual Bonus for a bonus period shall
be determined by the Committee after the end of the applicable bonus period and
shall be paid to the Executive when annual bonuses for that year are paid to
other senior executives of the Company generally, but in no event later than
March 15 of the year following the year to which such Annual Bonus relates.

(c) Equity Awards. In addition to any award provided to the Executive hereunder
or under any other Company plan, during the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be eligible to receive a grant of an equity-based award (the “Annual
Equity Award”) under the Tronox Limited Management Equity Incentive Plan (or

shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with the Company’s applicable
long-term incentive plan.

(d) Vacation; Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the applicable policies of the
Company, which shall be accrued and used in accordance with such policies.
During the Employment Period, the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executive shall be entitled to the same perquisites the Executive was entitled
to receive prior to the Effective Date and shall be eligible to participate in
such medical, dental and life insurance, retirement and other plans as the
Company may have or establish from time to time on terms and conditions
applicable to other senior executives of the Company generally. The foregoing,
however, shall not be construed to require the Company to establish any such
plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once
established.

6. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive promptly for all expenses
reasonably incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties in
accordance with policies which may be adopted from time to time by the Company
following presentation by the Executive of an itemized account, including
reasonable substantiation, of such expenses.

7. Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement. The Company
and the Executive acknowledge and agree that during the Executive’s employment
with the Company, the Executive will have access to and may assist in developing
Confidential Information and will occupy a position of trust and confidence with
respect to the affairs and business of the Company and the Company Affiliates.
The Executive agrees that the following obligations are necessary to preserve
the confidential and proprietary nature of Confidential Information and to
protect the Company and the Company Affiliates against harmful solicitation of
employees and customers, harmful competition and other actions by the Executive
that would result in serious adverse consequences for the Company and the
Company Affiliates:

(a) Non-Disclosure. During and after the Executive’s employment with the
Company, the Executive will not knowingly use, disclose, copy or transfer any
Confidential Information other than as authorized in writing by the Company or
within the scope of the Executive’s duties with the Company as determined
reasonably and in good faith by the Executive. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall not apply (i) when
disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or
administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual
or apparent jurisdiction to order the Executive to disclose or make accessible
any information, provided that prior to any such disclosure the Executive shall
provide the Company with reasonable notice of the requirements to disclose and
an opportunity to object to such disclosure and the Executive shall cooperate
with the Company in filing such objection; or (ii) as to information that
becomes generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry
other than due to the Executive’s violation of this Section 7(a).

(b) Materials. The Executive will use Confidential Information only for normal
and customary use in the Company’s business, as determined reasonably and in
good faith by the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all
Confidential Information and copies thereof and all other property of the
Company or any Company Affiliate at any time upon the request of the Company and
in any event promptly after termination of Executive’s employment. The Executive
agrees to identify and return to the Company any copies of any Confidential
Information after the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company. Anything
to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 7 shall prevent the
Executive from retaining a home computer (provided all Confidential Information
has been removed), papers and other materials of a personal nature, including
diaries, calendars and Rolodexes, information relating to his compensation or
relating to reimbursement of expenses, information that may be needed for tax
purposes, and copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to his
employment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) No Solicitation or Hiring of Employees. During the Non-Compete Period, the
Executive shall not solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is
employed by the Company or the Company Affiliates (or who was so employed within
six (6) months prior to the Executive’s action) to terminate or refrain from
continuing such employment or to become employed by or enter into contractual
relations with any other individual or entity other than the Company or the
Company Affiliates, and the Executive shall not hire, directly or indirectly,
for himself or any other person, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, any
such person. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company agrees that
(i) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request from any former
employee of the Company for advice on employment matters; and (ii) the
Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request for an employment reference
regarding any former employee of the Company from such former employee, or from
a third party, by providing a reference setting forth his personal views about
such former employee, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 7(c); in
each case, to the extent the Executive does not encourage the former employee to
become employed by a company or business that employs the Executive or with
which the Executive is otherwise associated (including, but not limited to,
association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor,
joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant,
contractor, director or otherwise).

(d) Non-Competition.

(i) During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, (A) solicit, service, or assist any other individual, person, firm
or other entity in soliciting or servicing any Customer for the purpose of
providing and/or selling any products that are provided and/or sold by the
Company or its subsidiaries, or performing any services that are performed by
the Company or its subsidiaries, (B) interfere with or damage (or attempt to
interfere with or damage) any relationship and/or agreement between the Company
or its subsidiaries and any Customer or (C) associate (including, but not
limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner,
principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member,
consultant, contractor, director or otherwise) with any Competitive Enterprise;
provided, however, that Executive may own, as a passive investor, securities of
any such entity that has outstanding publicly traded securities so long as his
direct holdings in any such entity shall not in the aggregate constitute more
than one percent (1%) of the voting power of such entity. The Executive
acknowledges that this covenant has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable
value to the Company, that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to
provide a livelihood for the Executive while such covenant remains in force and
that, as a result of the foregoing, in the event that the Executive breaches
such covenant, monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy for the Company
and equitable enforcement of the covenant would be proper.

(ii) If the restrictions contained in Section 7(d)(i) shall be determined by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending
for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by
reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, Section 7(d)(i) shall
be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be
enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be
enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may
be enforceable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) Conflicting Obligations and Rights. The Executive agrees to inform the
Company of any apparent conflicts between the Executive’s work for the Company
and any obligations the Executive may have to preserve the confidentiality of
another’s proprietary information or related materials before using the same on
the Company’s behalf. The Company shall receive such disclosures in confidence
and consistent with the objectives of avoiding any conflict of obligations and
rights or the appearance of any conflict of interest.

(f) Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that in the event of any breach of
this Section 7, the business interests of the Company and the Company Affiliates
will be irreparably injured, the full extent of the damages to the Company and
the Company Affiliates will be impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will
not be an adequate remedy for the Company and the Company Affiliates, and the
Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary, preliminary
and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of
posting bond or security, which the Executive expressly waives. The Executive
understands that the Company may waive some of the requirements expressed in
this Agreement, but that such a waiver to be effective must be made in writing
and should not in any way be deemed a waiver of the Company’s right to enforce
any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Executive agrees
that each of the Executive’s obligations specified in this Agreement is a
separate and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them
shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement.

8. Mutual Non-Disparagement. During the Employment Period and for the two year
period following the Date of Termination, the Executive agrees not to make
public statements or communications that disparage the Company, its business,
services, products or its affiliates or its or their current, former or future
directors or executive officers (in their capacity as such), or with respect to
any current or former director or executive officer or shareholder of the
Company or its affiliates (in their capacity as such). During the Employment
Period and for the two year period following Date of Termination, the Company
agrees that it shall not, and that it shall instruct its directors and executive
officers to not, make public statements or communications that disparage the
Executive. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in
response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or
administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation,
depositions in connection with such proceedings).

9. Termination of Employment.

Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon, if any, and shall set forth in

termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

revocation) of the general release of claims described in Section 10(f), subject
to Section 10(g), and (ii) the Executive and his covered dependents shall be
entitled to continued participation on the same terms and conditions as
applicable immediately prior to the Executive’s Date of Termination for the
eighteen-month period following the Date of Termination in such medical, dental,

dependents were participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

(f) Release. As a condition of receiving any and all amounts payable and
benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond the
Accrued Benefits, the Executive must execute and deliver to the Company and not
revoke a general release of claims in favor of the Company in substantially the
form attached on Exhibit A hereto. Such release must be executed and delivered
(and no longer subject to revocation, if applicable) within sixty (60) days
following the Executive’s Date of Termination. The Company shall deliver to the
Executive the appropriate form of release of claims for the Executive to execute
within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination.

(g) Liquidated Damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the damages that
will result to the Executive for termination by the Company of the Executive’s
employment without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be extremely
difficult or impossible to establish or prove, and agree that the amounts
payable to the Executive under Section 10(d) (the “Severance Payments”) shall
constitute liquidated damages for any such termination. The Executive agrees
that, except for such other payments and benefits to which the Executive may be
entitled as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or any other
applicable benefit plan or compensation arrangement (including equity-related
awards), such liquidated damages shall be in lieu of all other claims that the
Executive may make by reason of any such termination of his employment.

(h) Certain Payment Delays. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, to the extent that the payment of any amount described in Section 10(d)
constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code
Section 409A (as defined in Section 25 hereof), any such payment scheduled to
occur during the first sixty (60) days following the termination of employment
shall not be paid until the first regularly scheduled pay period following the
sixtieth (60th) day following such termination and shall include payment of any
amount that was otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto.

(i) No Offset. In the event of termination of his employment, the Executive
shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no
offset against amounts due to him on account of any remuneration or benefits
provided by any subsequent employment he may obtain. The Company’s obligation to
make any payment pursuant to, and otherwise to perform its obligations under,
this Agreement shall not be affected by any offset, counterclaim or other right
that the Company or the Company Affiliates may have against the Executive for
any reason.

(j) 280G Payments. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any
payments, entitlements or benefits (whether made or provided pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise) provided to the Executive constitute “parachute
payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), and may be

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

subject to an excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, then, if
the Executive would be placed in a better after-tax position, the Executive’s
“parachute payments” will be reduced to an amount determined by the Company in
good faith to be the maximum amount that may be provided to the Executive
without resulting in any portion of such “parachute payment” being subject to
such excise tax. The payment reduction contemplated by the preceding sentence
shall be implemented as follows: first, by reducing any payments to be made to
the Executive under Section 10(d)(B) and (C) or Section 10(e)(B) and (C), as
applicable; second, by reducing any other cash payments to be made to the
Executive but only if the value of such cash payments is not greater than the
parachute value of such payments; third, by cancelling the acceleration of
vesting of any outstanding equity-based compensation awards that are subject to
performance vesting, the performance goals for which were met as of the
Executive’s date of termination or if later the date of the occurrence of the
change in control; fourth, by cancelling the acceleration of vesting of any
restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards; fifth, by eliminating the
Company’s payment of the cost of any post-termination continuation of medical
and dental benefits for the Executive and his eligible dependents and sixth, by
cancelling the acceleration of vesting of any stock options or stock
appreciation rights. In the case of the reductions to be made pursuant to each
of the above-mentioned clauses, the payment and/or benefit amounts to be reduced
and the acceleration of vesting to be cancelled shall be reduced or cancelled in
the inverse order of their originally scheduled dates of payment or vesting, as
applicable, and shall be so reduced (x) only to the extent that the payment
and/or benefit otherwise to be paid or the vesting of the award that otherwise
would be accelerated, would be treated as a “parachute payment” within the
meaning of Section 280(G)(b)(2)(A) of the Code, and (y) only to the extent
necessary to achieved the required reduction hereunder.

11. Indemnification. During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold the Executive and the Executive’s heirs and
representatives harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against any
and all damages, costs, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) as a result of any claim or proceeding (whether civil,
criminal. administrative or investigative), or any threatened claim or
proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), against
the Executive that arises out of or relates to the Executive’s service as an
officer, director or employee, as the case may be, of the Company, or the
Executive’s service in any such capacity or similar capacity with a Company
Affiliate or other entity at the request of the Company, both prior to and after
the Effective Date, and to promptly advance to the Executive or the Executive’s
heirs or representatives such expenses upon written request with appropriate
documentation of such expense upon receipt of an undertaking by the Executive or
on the Executive’s behalf to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Company also shall provide the
Executive with coverage under its current directors’ and officers’ liability
policy to the same extent that it provides such coverage to its other executive
officers. If the Executive has any knowledge of any actual or threatened action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, as
to which the Executive may request indemnity under this provision, the Executive
will give the Company prompt written notice thereof; provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the Executive’s right to indemnification.
The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such proceeding and
the Executive will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such defense. To the
extent that the Executive in good faith determines that there is an actual or
potential conflict of interest

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

between the Company and the Executive in connection with the defense of a
proceeding, the Executive shall so notify the Company and shall be entitled to
separate representation at the Company’s expense by counsel selected by the
Executive (provided that the Company may reasonably object to the selection of
counsel within ten (10) business days after notification thereof) which counsel
shall cooperate, and coordinate the defense, with the Company’s counsel and
minimize the expense of such separate representation to the extent consistent
with the Executive’s separate defense. This Section 11 shall continue in effect
after the termination of the Executive’s employment or the termination of this
Agreement.

12. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, or other communications which may
be or are required to be given or made by any party to any other party pursuant
to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered, mailed by

purposes at such time as it is delivered to the addressee (with the return

such delivery) or at such time as delivery is refused by the addressee upon
presentation.

13. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more
provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 7, shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

and conditions set forth herein.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement
shall not be assignable or delegable, except that (i) in the event of the
Executive’s death, the personal representative or legatees or distributees of
the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall have the right to receive any
amount owing and unpaid to the Executive hereunder and (ii) the rights and
obligations of the Company hereunder shall be assignable and delegable in

breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the
failure of either of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of

respect of any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Connecticut
State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court,
(b) consents that any such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proceeding may and shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that
the Executive or the Company may now or thereafter have to the venue or
jurisdiction of any such Proceeding in any such court or that such Proceeding
was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same,
(c) waives all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding (whether based on
contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
Executive’s employment by the Company or any Company Affiliate, or the
termination of such employment, or the Executive’s or the Company’s performance
under, or the enforcement of, this Agreement, (d) agrees that service of process

registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail),

provided in Section 13 hereof, and (e) agrees that nothing in this Agreement
shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner
permitted by the laws of the State of Connecticut.

21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties respecting the employment of the Executive, there being no
representations, warranties or commitments except as set forth herein and
supersedes and replaces all other agreements related to the subject matter
hereof of, including that certain Executive Employment Agreement by and between
Tronox Incorporated and John D. Romano, dated January 11, 2011.

22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of
which shall be an original and all of which shall be deemed to constitute one
and the same instrument.

23. Withholding. The Company may withhold from any benefit payment under this
Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant
to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

24. Section 409A.

(a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement
comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance
promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to
the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in
compliance therewith. If the Executive notifies the Company (with specificity as
to the reason therefor) that the Executive believes that any provision of this
Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or
benefits) would cause the Executive to incur any additional tax or interest
under Code Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company
(without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such
determination, the Company shall, after consulting with the Executive, reform
such provision to attempt to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith
modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code
Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to
comply with Code Section 409A. such modification shall be made in good faith and
shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent
and economic benefit to the Executive and the Company of the applicable
provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any
amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such
termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement,
references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall
mean “separation from service.” If the Executive is deemed on the date of
termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under
Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of
any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A
payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall
be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of
the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from
service” of the Executive, and (B) the date of the Executive’s death, to the
extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing
delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 24(b)
(whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in
installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the
Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this
Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates
specified for them herein.

(c) To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this
Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code
Section 409A, (A) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made
on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in
which such expenses were incurred by the Executive, (B) any right to
reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit, and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible
for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any
way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be
provided, in any other taxable year.

(d) For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any
installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to
receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under
this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days,
the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole
discretion of the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no
event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified
deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by
any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

Termination; (ii) any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus or 2010 Bonus, as

EXHIBIT A

GENERAL RELEASE

I,                , in consideration of and subject to the performance by Tronox
LLC (together with its parent companies and subsidiaries, the “Company”), of its
obligations under Section 10 of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement,
dated as of [            ] (the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever
discharge as of the date hereof the Company and its respective affiliates and
subsidiaries and all present, former and future directors, officers. agents,
representatives, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and/or its
respective affiliates and subsidiaries and direct or indirect owners
(collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the extent provided herein (this
“General Release”). The Released Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries
of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of
them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to
such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

1. I understand that, other than the Accrued Benefits, the payments or benefits
paid or granted to me under Section 10 of the Agreement represent, in part,
consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or
benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not
receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 10 of the Agreement,
other than the Accrued Benefits, unless I execute this General Release and do
not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or
breach this General Release. Such payments and benefits will not be considered
compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or
arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its
affiliates.

2. Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of the
Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the
Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors,
administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the
other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions,
causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory
damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages,

law and in equity, both past and present (through the date that this General
Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown,
suspected, or claimed against the Company and/or any of the Released Parties
which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns,
ever had, now have, or hereafter may have, by reason of any matter, cause, or
thing whatsoever, from the beginning of my initial dealings with the Company to
the date of this General Release, and particularly, but without limitation of
the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to
my employment relationship with Company, the terms and conditions of that
employment relationship, and the termination of that employment relationship

under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights
Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended

attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively
referred to herein as the “Claims”). I understand and intend that this General
Release constitutes a general release of all claims and that no reference herein
to a specific form of claim, statute or type of relief is intended to limit the
scope of this General Release.

3. I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim,
demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.

4. I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or
claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and
agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the
terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action
(including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967).

5. I agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial
or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever,
including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, and any form
of injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I acknowledge that I am not
waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under
law, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an
administrative investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that I disclaim
and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from
the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding.

6. In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be
effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or
implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force
and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions,
including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any
state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general
release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as
those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I
acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this
General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed
to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event that I should
bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event that I should
seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental
agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to
such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law. I further agree that I am
not aware of any pending claim, or of any facts that could give rise to a claim,
of the type described in paragraph 2 as of the execution of this General
Release.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time
to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper
or unlawful conduct.

8. I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to
the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General Release. I also agree
that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other
Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the
suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and
return all payments received by me pursuant to the Agreement on or after the
termination of my employment.

9. I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and
agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General
Release or the Agreement, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or
other counsel that I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as
required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the
same to anyone.

10. Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or
restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General
Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or any
other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.

11. I hereby acknowledge that Sections 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19,
20, 21, 23, 24, and 25 of the Agreement shall survive my execution of this
General Release.

12. I represent that I am not aware of any Claim by me, and I acknowledge that I
may hereafter discover Claims or facts in addition to or different than those
which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the
release set forth in paragraph 2 above and which, if known or suspected at the
time of entering into this General Release, may have materially affected this
General Release and my decision to enter into it.

13. Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this
General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights
or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of
the Agreement after the date hereof.

14. Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This General
Release constitutes the complete and entire agreement and understanding among
the parties, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements,
commitments, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, between or
among any of the parties, in each case concerning the subject matter hereof.
