          This AGREEMENT, entered into as of December 4, 2008 (the “Agreement”),
by and between Enzo Biochem, Inc., a New York corporation, with its principal
office at 60 Executive Blvd, Farmingdale, NY 11735 (the “Company”), and Dr.
Elazar Rabbani, residing at 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10003 (the
“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

          WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed by the Company pursuant
to an agreement dated May 4, 1994 (as heretofor amended, the “Existing
Employment Agreement”);

          WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the Executive has made
substantial contributions to the growth and success of the Company and desires
to assure the Company of the Executive’s continued service;

          WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to continue to perform services for
the Company; and

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to restate and make
certain changes in the Existing Employment Agreement, including, without
limitation, to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder
(collectively, “Code Section 409A”).

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT

          1.1. Capacity; Duties. (a) The Company hereby agrees to continue to
employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to accept continued
employment with the Company and agrees to serve, upon the terms and conditions
herein contained, as the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer or such
more senior position as the Executive is elected to by the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”). In such capacity, the Executive shall perform such
duties and functions, consistent with his status as a senior executive officer
of the Company, as may be assigned by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, provided that, such duties and functions shall not be lesser in
prestige or responsibility than those currently being performed by the
Executive. During the Employment Term, as defined in Section 1.2 below, the
Executive shall devote his best efforts, energies, skills and attention to the
business and affairs of the Company. During the Employment Term, the Executive
shall devote substantially all of his business time to the Company, but the
foregoing shall not limit his right to be involved in other for-profit, civic or
charitable activities, provided that such activities do not materially interfere
with his providing of his services hereunder.

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

                 (b) The Executive, without additional compensation and subject
to (a) above and the other terms of this Agreement, shall also serve, if so
requested by the Board, in senior management capacities of Subsidiaries of the
Company. “Subsidiary” shall mean any entity in which the Company owns, directly
or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding securities
generally entitled to vote for the election of directors.

          1.2. (a) Except for earlier termination as provided in Section 4
hereof, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Employment Term”)
shall be for an initial term beginning on the date hereof and ending on
September 30, 2011 (the “Initial Term”). The Employment Term shall be
automatically renewed for successive additional terms of two (2) years each
(each an “Additional Term”), unless either party hereto gives written notice to
the other at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the
Initial Term or the then Additional Term, as the case may be, of such party’s
intention to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at the end of such
Initial Term or such Additional Term and not renew it.

                 (b) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) any person (as
defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), and as used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof)),
excluding the Company, any “Subsidiary” and any employee benefit plan sponsored
or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary (including any trustee of any
such plan acting in his capacity as trustee), but including a “group” as defined
in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, becomes the beneficial owner of shares
of the Company having at least 30% of the total number of votes that may be cast
for the election of directors of the Company; (ii) the shareholders of the
Company shall approve any merger or other business combination of the Company,
sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or combination of the
foregoing transactions (a “Transaction”), other than a Transaction involving
only the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries, or a Transaction
immediately following which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
the Transaction continue to have a majority of the voting power in the resulting
entity (excluding for this purpose any shareholder owning directly or indirectly
more than ten percent (10%) of the shares of the other company involved in the
Transaction), or (iii) within any twenty-four (24) month period beginning on or
after the date hereof, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately
before the beginning of such period (the “Incumbent Directors”) shall cease (for
any reason other than death) to constitute at least a majority of the Board or
the board of directors of any successor to the Company, provided that, any
director who was not a director as of the date hereof shall be deemed to be an
Incumbent Director if such director was elected to the Board by, or on the
recommendation of or with the approval of, at least two-thirds of the directors
who then qualified as Incumbent Directors either actually or by prior operation
of this Section 1.2(c) unless such election, recommendation or approval was the
result of an actual or threatened election contest of the type contemplated by
Regulation 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control of the Company shall be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by reason of any actions
or events in which the Executive participates in a capacity other than in his
capacity as an executive, director or shareholder of the Company.

2. COMPENSATION

          2.1. Base Salary. As compensation for the Executive’s employment
hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a base salary at a rate of

Board. (The base salary as increased from time to time being hereinafter
referred to as the “Base Salary.”)

          2.2. Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
his Base Salary, an annual bonus in an amount determined in good faith by the
Board or, if the Board adopts any incentive plan, bonuses in accordance with

Executive’s taxable year in which the Bonus is earned or (ii) the 15th day of
the third month following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the

be awarded additional stock options.

3. BENEFITS, EXPENSES AND ALL OTHER COMPENSATION

          3.1. Benefits. During the Employment Term the Executive shall be

Employment Term by the Company to its senior executive employees, including
without limitation any life insurance, medical insurance, disability, pension,
savings, incentive, retirement, stock option and other plans and programs of the

thereof.

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

          3.5. Life Insurance.

                    (a) During the Employment Term, the Company either under its
group term life insurance plan or otherwise, but in any event at no cost to the
Executive (other than taxes with regard to any taxable amount), shall maintain
life insurance on the life of the Executive for the benefit of Executive’s
designated beneficiaries in an amount at least equal to that currently
maintained. All such premiums shall be paid annually prior to the Short Term
Deferral Date

                    (b) However, in lieu of the split dollar life insurance
arrangement, the Executive shall be provided with the value of the benefit
attributed to the life insurance in the Executive’s annual compensation. To the
extent permitted under the terms of the Company’s deferred compensation plan the
annual value of the benefit to be payable as compensation from the terminated
life insurance benefit shall be eligible to be deferred under said deferred
compensation plan which shall be maintained by the Company for the Executive.

          3.6. Long Term Disability.

                    (a) During the Employment Term, the Company shall maintain
long term disability coverage for the Executive under a plan no less favorable
to the Executive than that currently maintained (the “Long Term Disability
Plan”). All such premiums shall be paid annually prior to the Short Term
Deferral Date

                    (b) However, lieu of supplemental disability insurance, the
Executive shall be provided with the value of the benefit attributed to the
disability insurance in the Executive’s annual compensation. To the extent
permitted under the terms of the Company’s deferred compensation plan, the
annual value of the benefit payable as compensation from the terminated
disability benefit shall be eligible to be deferred under the Company’s deferred
compensation plan which shall be maintained by the Company for the Executive.

          3.7. Indemnification. During the Employment Term and thereafter, the
Company shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by law
against any judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), and advance amounts necessary to pay the foregoing
at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted by law, in connection
with any bona fide claim, action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal)
against the Executive as a result of the Executive serving as an officer or
director of the Company or in any capacity at the request of the Company in or
with regard to any other entity, employee benefit plan or enterprise. This
indemnification shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other
indemnification the Executive shall be entitled to pursuant to the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or otherwise.

          3.8. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans. To the extent permitted
under the terms of the applicable stock option or restricted stock plan, if any
stock option or restricted stock unit shall be payable as annual compensation,
the amounts shall be eligible to be deferred under the Company’s deferred
compensation plan subject to applicable vesting schedules required for such

4. TERMINATION

          4.1. Termination of Employment. The employment of the Executive shall
terminate prior to the expiration of the Employment Term specified in Section
1.2 hereof upon the occurrence of any of the following events prior to such
time:

                    (a) the death of the Executive;

                    (b) the termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company due to the Executive’s Disability pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof;

                    (c) the termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company for. Cause pursuant to Section 4.5;

                    (d) the termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company without Cause upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice;

                    (e) the termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Executive for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof; or

                    (f) the termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Executive without Good Reason.

          4.2. Disability. (a) If, by reason of physical or mental disability,
the Executive is (i) unable to carry out the material duties he has assumed
pursuant to this Agreement for more than one hundred eighty (180) days in any
twelve (12) month period, (ii) the Executive is eligible to receive current
benefits under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan and (iii) if a Change of
Control of the Company has occurred prior to (i) and (ii) being satisfied, such
disability is likely to totally and permanently prevent the Executive from
performing his material duties hereunder (“Disability”), the Company may
terminate the Executive’s services hereunder by a Notice of Disability
Termination given in accordance with (b) below. During any period of disability
prior to such termination the Executive shall continue to receive all
compensation and other benefits provided herein as if he had not been disabled,
at the time, in the amounts and in the manner provided herein, provided that the
Company shall be entitled to a credit against such amounts with regard to the
amount, if any, paid to the Executive under the Long Term Disability Plan for
such period on a period matching basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event (as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), the Executive incurs a separation from service pursuant to Code
Section 409A, the Employee’s employment shall immediately terminate for
Disability.

                    (b) In the event a dispute arises between the Executive and
the Company concerning the Executive’s physical or mental ability to continue or
return to the performance of his duties as aforesaid or as to whether such
disability is likely to totally and permanently prevent the Executive from
performing his material duties, the Executive shall submit to examination by a
competent physician mutually agreeable to both parties or, if the parties are
unable to agree, by a physician appointed by the President of the Association of
the Bar of the City of New York, and such physician’s opinion shall be final and
binding.

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

                    (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Executive’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good
Reason or voluntarily pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof shall not be affected by
the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

                    (d) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Disability
Termination” shall mean a written notice which sets forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
Executive’s employment under this Section 4.2 and which shall have been
authorized by a vote of at least three-quarters of the entire membership of the
Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose (after
reasonable notice to the Executive and reasonable opportunity for the Executive,
together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board).

          4.3. Termination for Good Reason. A Termination for Good Reason means
a termination by the Executive by written notice given within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the occurrence of the Good Reason event. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence or failure to cause the
occurrence, as the case may be, without the Executive’s express written consent,
of any of the following circumstances, unless in the case of (a), (e), (f), (g),
(h), or (k) below such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the date of
termination specified in the Notice of Termination for Good Reason (as defined
in Section 4.4 hereof) and further provided that, in the case of (a) or (b), the
Executive shall have the right to require the Board to either approve or reverse

diminution of the Executive from the highest position held by the Executive on
or after the date hereof (the “Executive’s Highest Position”), including without
limitation (i) any nonincidental reduction in the Executive’s authority or
responsibility, any nonincidental curtailment of the Executive’s access to
management senior to the Executive for ordinary course reporting purposes or any
assignment to the Executive of duties inconsistent with the Executive’s Highest
Position, or (ii) any failure to re-elect the Executive to the Executive’s
Highest Position, including without limitation the title thereof, except in each
case in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause
or Disability or as a result of the Executive’s death, provided that if such
event takes place prior to a Change of Control such event shall only be deemed
Good Reason if such action is approved by a majority of the directors who are
not employed by the Company and who are not relatives (by blood or marriage) of
the Executive;

                    (b) In the event a Change of Control has taken place, a
failure by the Company to continue any bonus plan in which the Executive is then
entitled to participate (the “Bonus Plan”), provided that any such plans may be
modified from time to time but shall be deemed terminated if (i) any such plan
does not remain substantially in the form in effect prior to such modification
and (ii) if plans providing the Executive with substantially similar benefits
are not substituted therefor (“Substitute Plans”), or a failure by the Company
to continue the Executive as a participant in the Bonus Plans and Substitute
Plans on at least the same basis as to the potential amount of the bonus and the
achievability thereof as the Executive participated, immediately prior to any
change in such plans or awards, in accordance with the Bonus Plans and the
Substitute Plans;

- 6 -

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

                    (c) In the event that the Company’s Bonus Plan is a purely
discretionary plan and a Change of Control has taken place, a failure to provide
the Executive with a bonus in cash for each fiscal year of the Company ending
during the Employment Term and after the Change of Control of the Company at
least equal to the highest bonus earned by, or awarded to, the Executive in
respect of any of the three fiscal years of the Company ending immediately prior
to the Change of Control of the Company or, if higher, for the fiscal year of
the Company, in which such Change of Control of the Company occurs;

                    (d) In the event a Change of Control has taken place, a
relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices to a location more than
50 miles from the Empire State Building in New York City, New York (the “New
York City Metropolitan Area”) or the Company requiring the Executive to be based
anywhere other than the New York City Metropolitan Area, except for required
travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the
Executive’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change of
Control;

                    (e) In the event a Change of Control has taken place, any
material adverse change in the office assignment (based on size, location,
furnishings and other appointments) or secretarial and other support accorded to
Executive at the time the Executive held the Executive’s Highest Position;

                    (f) In the event a Change of Control has taken place, a
failure by the Company to continue in effect any benefit plan or arrangement
(including any pension, profit sharing, life insurance, health, accidental death
or dismemberment or disability plan) in which the Executive or his dependents is
then participating or plans or arrangements which in the aggregate provide the
Executive and the Executive’s dependents with substantially similar benefits, or
the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect the
Executive’s and the Executive’s dependents’ participation in or reduce the
Executive’s and the Executive’s dependents’ benefits under any of such plans or
arrangements or the replacements thereof, providing that the foregoing shall not
limit the Company’s right to make changes to comply with applicable laws,
provided that the Company shall otherwise compensate the Executive for any loss
(including but not limited to tax benefits) to the Executive as a result of such
changes and any losses associated with such changes are made to the Executive no
later than the applicable Short Term Deferral Date;

                    (g) In the event a Change of Control of the Company has
taken place, a failure to permit the Executive to participate in incentive plans
and programs, on a basis providing the Executive with the opportunity to receive
compensation (without duplication or the amounts under Bonus Plans) equal to the
highest level of those provided by the Company to the Executive on an annualized
basis under such incentive plans and programs, including without limitation
stock option plans and other equity based compensation plans, as in effect
within one year prior to the time of the Change of Control of the Company or, if
more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with
respect to the Executive or other executives with comparable responsibilities;

                    (h) In the event a Change of Control has taken place, the
taking of any action by the Company which would deprive the Executive of any
material fringe benefit then enjoyed

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

by the Executive or the failure by the Company to provide the Executive with the
number of paid vacation days to which the Executive is or was entitled in
accordance with this Agreement;

                    (i) The failure by the Company to obtain the specific
assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the Company or any
person acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

                    (j) The failure of the Company to pay to the Executive any
amounts due under this Agreement within the later of seven (7) days after the
due date thereof or seven (7) days after the Executive’s written demand for
payment of such amount to the Board;

                    (k) Any material breach by the Company of any provision of
this Agreement; or

                    (l) Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment,
which is not effected pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
and, for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be
effective.

          4.4. Notice of Termination for Good Reason. A Notice of Termination
for Good Reason shall mean a notice that shall indicate the specific termination
provision in Section 4.3 relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Termination for Good
Reason. The failure by the Executive to set forth in the Notice of Termination
for Good Reason any fact or circumstances which contribute to the showing of
Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Executive hereunder or preclude the
Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his rights
hereunder. The Notice of Termination for Good Reason shall provide for a date of
termination not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days after the
date such Notice of Termination for Good Reason is given, provided that in the
event of a Termination for Good Reason based upon Section 4.3(1), the notice of
termination may treat the date of the purported termination as the date of
termination.

          4.5. Cause. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall
be limited to (i) action by the Executive involving willful malfeasance having a
material adverse effect on the Company, (ii) substantial and continuing refusal
by the Executive in willful breach of this Agreement to perform the duties
required of him hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity
due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is
delivered to the Executive by the Board which specifically identifies the manner
in which the Board believes that the Executive has substantially and continually
refused to perform his duties in willful breach of this Agreement, or (iii) the
Executive being convicted of a felony (other than a traffic violation).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.5, any
action or refusal by the Executive shall not constitute “Cause” if (i) in good
faith, the Executive reasonably believed such action or refusal to act to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, (ii) the Executive shall be
entitled, under applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of
the Company, to be indemnified with respect to such action or refusal, (iii) the
Executive’s act, or failure to act, was based upon authority given pursuant to a
resolution duly adopted by the Board or pursuant to the direction of a more
senior executive, or

- 8 -

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

(iv) the Executive’s act, or failure to act, was based upon the advice of
counsel or special counsel for the Company.

                    (b) The Executive shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the
Executive a Notice of Termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement a
“Notice of Termination for Cause” shall mean delivery to the Executive of a copy
of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board
called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and
reasonable opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel,
to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the
Board the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Cause and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported
termination of the Executive’s employment shall be effective without such Notice
of Termination for Cause. No Notice of Termination for Cause shall be deemed
valid if such Notice is given more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after
the Company had actual knowledge of the conduct at issue.

5. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION

          5.1. Death. Upon the Executive’s death, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this
Agreement other than those obligations accrued hereunder at the date of his
death, including, for this purpose, (i) the Executive’s full Base Salary through
the date of death, (ii) any compensation earned but not yet paid, (iii) the
product of (x) the annual bonus paid to the Executive for the last full fiscal
year of the Company multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in the current fiscal year during which the Executive was
employed by the Company, and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Pro-rated
Bonus Obligation”), (iv) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive
(together with any accrued earnings thereon) and not yet paid by the Company,
(v) any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company and (vi) any other
amounts or benefits owing to the Executive under the then applicable employee
benefit plans or policies of the Company, including but not limited to the
insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3 hereof. (Such
amounts specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) are
hereinafter referred to as “Accrued Obligations”). All Accrued Obligations other
than under (iv) or (vi) shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or designated
beneficiaries, as the case may be, in a lump sum in cash 30 days after the date
of death and the amounts under (iv) and (vi), in accordance with the applicable
incentive compensation plan or employee benefit plan (including, but not limited
to, manner, form and time of payment).

          5.2. Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive’s Disability, the Executive shall be entitled to (i) all
Accrued Obligations, and (ii) an amount equal to three (3) years of the
Executive’s Base Salary (less the projected amount the Executive would be
entitled to receive under the Long Term Disability Plan during the three (3)
year period immediately following the termination date assuming he remained
Disabled), and an amount equal to seventy-two (72) times the then monthly COBRA
premium), both, subject to Section 9, paid to the Executive in a lump sum 30
days from the date of the Executive’s termination of employment. In addition,
the Executive shall for three years after such termination continue to be
covered by the Company for life insurance as if he was an active

- 9 -

employee and shall be given access to health coverage by the Executive paying
monthly an amount equal to the COBRA premium for such coverage. The Executive
shall also be entitled to amounts due him under the Company’s Long Term
Disability Plan.

          5.3. Termination for Good Reason or Without Cause. If the Executive’s
employment with the Company is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason
during the Employment Term or the Executive’s employment with the Company is
terminated by the Company Without Cause, or the employment relationship is
terminated by nonrenewal by the Company pursuant to Section 1.2, then the
Company shall, subject to Section 9, pay and provide, as the case may be, to the
Executive the following payments and benefits upon such termination:

                    (a) The Company shall pay the Executive Accrued Obligations.
All Accrued Obligations other than under Section 5.1 (iv) or (vi) shall be paid
to the Executive in a lump sum in cash 30 days after the date of termination and
the amounts under Section 5.1 (iv) and (vi), in accordance with the applicable
incentive compensation plan or employee benefit plan (including, but not limited
to, manner, form and time of payment).

                    (b) The Company shall pay to the Executive as severance pay,
in a lump sum 30 days after the date of termination:

                              (i) a lump sum in an amount equal to three (3)
times the Executive’s Base Salary;

                              (ii) a lump sum in an amount equal to the product
of (A) the annual bonus paid by the Company to the Executive for the last fiscal
year of the Company ending prior to the date of termination multiplied by (B)
three; and

                              (iii) a lump sum in an amount equal to seventy-two
(72) times the then monthly COBRA premium and thirty-six (36) times the monthly
long term disability premium.

                              (iv) with respect to each incentive pay plan
(other than stock option or other equity plans and the annual bonus plan) of the
Company (or its Subsidiary) in which the Executive participated at the time of
termination, a lump sum amount equal to the amount the Executive would have
earned if he had continued employment for three (3) additional years and
achieved all criteria under the incentive plans for the target award provided
thereunder.

                              (v) a lump sum in an amount equal to the product
(A) the annual amount deferred by the Executive for the last calendar year
ending prior to the date of termination multiplied by (B) three; and

                    (c) In addition, the Executive shall for three (3) years
after such termination continue to be covered by the Company for life insurance
as if he was an active employee and shall be given access to health coverage by
the Executive paying monthly an amount equal to the COBRA premium.

                    (d) To the extent the additional three (3) years service
time would qualify the Executive for any additional benefits under any such
Company medical plan or Company life insurance plan, such as retiree health or
life insurance coverage (beyond that covered above), as

- 10 -

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

additional severance pay, such life insurance coverage and additional benefits
shall be provided in accordance with (c) above and under (b)(iii) above the
Executive shall receive an additional lump sum equal to three (3) times the then
COBRA premium multiplied by the actual additional projected months of such
coverage period.

                    (e) Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans. To the extent
permitted under the terms of the applicable stock option or restricted stock
plan, any stock options that would vest in the three (3) years after termination
and any restricted stock that would become nonforfeitable in such three (3) year
period shall immediately vest or become nonforfeitable, as the case may be, and
the exercise period of any stock options shall be extended as if the Executive
remained employed until the end of such additional three (3) years.

                    (f) Deferred Compensation Plan. To the extent permitted
under the terms of the Company’s deferred compensation plan, any amount deferred
subject to vesting shall immediately vest and become immediately payable to the
Executive.

          5.4. Termination With Cause or Voluntary Termination Prior to One Year
After a Change of Control. If the Executive is terminated With Cause or
voluntarily terminates employment without Good Reason other than after one year
after a Change of Control, the Executive shall receive only Base Salary through
the date of his termination and any amounts then accrued and unpaid within 30
days from the date of termination. Benefits and rights under any benefit
deferred or incentive plan shall be paid or retained in accordance with the
terms of such plan, which shall be in compliance with Code Section 409A.

          5.5. Voluntary Termination. If, and only if, (i) a Change of Control
of the Company shall occur and (ii) the Executive continues to be employed by
the Company during the one year period following the date of the Change of
Control of the Company (the “Post Change Period”), then, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Executive may elect at
any time following the Post Change Period to terminate, for any reason or no
reason whatsoever, the Employment Term, on at least two weeks prior written
notice. If, after the Post Change Period, the Executive terminates the
Employment Term for any reason other than one constituting Good Reason (which
shall be covered by Section 5.3 above), then and in such event, the Company
shall pay to the Executive in lieu of any and all other rights of the Executive
hereunder to severance benefits, the Accrued Obligations plus, in a lump sum
thirty (30) days after the date of such termination (subject to Section 9) an
amount equal to one-half of the Base Salary due the Executive during the
remaining portion of the Employment Term.

          5.6. Prior Reduction. For purposes of this Section 5, in the event
that any compensation, rights or benefits (or the methods of calculating the
same) to which the Executive was entitled prior to the date of termination of
employment were at any time within one (1) year prior to the date of termination
reduced or terminated without his express written consent, then that item of
compensation, right or benefit (or the method of calculating the same) to which
the Executive is entitled under this Section shall be the compensation, right,
benefit or method in effect prior to such reduction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, no provision hereof shall result in any actual
additional vesting or benefits within any plan qualified under Section 401 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

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

 

 

6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, NON-COMPETITION, INVENTIONS, ETC.

                    (a) The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the
benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data
relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective
businesses, (i) obtained by the Executive during his employment by the Company
or any of its affiliated companies and (ii) not otherwise public knowledge or
known within the Company’s industry other than through improper disclosure by
the Executive. After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company,
the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company,
unless compelled pursuant to the order of a court or other body having
jurisdiction over such matter or upon the advice of counsel, communicate or
divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company
and those designated by it.

                    (b) During the Employment Term and, if the Employment Term
ends prior to a Change of Control, for a period of one (1) year after the
termination or expiration thereof, the Executive will not directly or
indirectly:

                              (i) as an individual proprietor, partner,
stock-holder, officer, employee, director, joint venturer, investor, lender, or
in any other capacity whatsoever (other than as the holder of not more than
three percent (3%) of the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company),
engage in the business (the “Restricted Business”) of developing, producing,
marketing, selling or performing products or services developed or being
developed, produced, marketed, sold or performed by the Company while the
Employee was employed by the Company (provided that following the expiration or
termination of the Employment Term, (x) the Executive may act as an employee of
or consultant to a person or entity which engages in the Restricted Business so
long as the Employee does not himself engage in or assist the person or entity
in engaging in the Restricted Business by virtue of such employment or
consulting relationship; (y) the Executive may serve as a senior executive in a
corporation or other entity that has a division or subsidiary that reports to
the Executive and that engages in the Restricted Business if the Executive is no
more than nominally involved in the day-to-day operations or business practices
of such division or subsidiary; and (z) the Executive may provide investment
banking services to corporations or other entities engaged in the Restricted
Business relating to financing, mergers, acquisitions and dispositions; or

                              (ii) recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to
induce, any non-clerical employee or employees of the Company to terminate their
employment with, or otherwise cease their relationship with, the Company; or

                              (iii) divert or take away, or attempt to divert or
to take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or
accounts of the Company which were contracts, solicited or served by the
Executive while employed by the Company.

                    (c) If any restriction set forth in Section 6(b) above is
found by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unenforceable
because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of
activities or in too broad a geographic are, it shall be interpreted to extend
only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as
to which it may be enforceable.

- 12 -

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

                    (d) The restrictions contained in Sections 6(a), (b) and (i)
are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company
because of the trade secrets within the Executive’s knowledge and are considered
by the Executive to be reasonable to such purpose. The Executive agrees that any
breach of Sections 6(a), (b) or (i) will cause the Company substantial and
irreparable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition
to such other remedies which may be available, the Company shall have the right
to seek specific performance and injunctive relief. In no event shall an
asserted violation of the provisions of Sections 6(a), (b) or (i) constitute a
basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the
Executive under this Agreement.

                    (e) All inventions, discoveries, computer programs, data,
technology, designs, innovations and improvements (whether or not patentable and
whether or not copyrightable) related to the business of the company which are
made, conceived, reduced to practice, created, written, designed or developed by
the Executive, solely or jointly with others and whether during normal business
hours or otherwise, during his employment by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement (“Inventions”), shall be the sole property of the Company. The
Executive hereby assigns to the Company all such Inventions and any and all
related patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and other industrial and
intellectual property rights and applications therefor, in the United States and
elsewhere and appoints any office of the Company as his duly authorized
attorney, but without any out-of-pocket expense to the Executive, to execute,
file, prosecute and protect the same before any government agency, court or
authority. The Executive hereby waives all claims to moral or similar rights in
any Invention. Upon the request of the Company and at the Company’s expense, the
Executive shall execute such further assignments, documents and other
instruments as maybe necessary or desirable to fully and completely assign all
such Inventions to the company and to assist the Company in applying for,
obtaining and enforcing patents or copyrights or other rights in the United
States and in any foreign country with respect to any such Invention.

                    (f) The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company all
such Inventions and will maintain adequate and current written records (in the
form of notes, sketches, drawings and as may be reasonably specified by the
Company) to document the conception and/or first actual reduction to practice of
any such Invention. Such written records shall be available to and remain the
sole property of the Company at all times.

                    (g) Upon termination of this Agreement or at any other time
upon request by the Company, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company
all records, files, memoranda, notes, designs, data, reports, price lists,
customer lists, drawings, plans, computer programs, software, software
documentation, sketches, laboratory and research notebooks and other documents
(and all copies or reproductions of such materials in his possession or control)
belonging to the Company.

                    (h) The Executive represents that the Executive’s employment
by the Company and the performance by the Executive of his obligations under
this Agreement do not, and shall not, breach any agreement that obligates him to
keep in confidence any trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information
of his or of any other party or to refrain from competing, directly or
indirectly, with the business of any other party. The Executive shall not
disclose to the

- 13 -

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

Company, and the Company shall not request that the Executive disclose, and
trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of any other party.

                    (i) The Executive acknowledges that the Company from time to
time may have agreements with other persons or with the United States
Government, or agencies thereof, that impose obligations or restrictions on the
Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such
agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. If the Executive’s
duties hereunder will require disclosures to be made to him subject to such
obligations and restrictions, the Executive agrees to be bound by them and to
take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such
agreements.

 

 

7. NO MITIGATION; NO SET-OFF

          The Company agrees that if the Executive’s employment with the Company
is terminated during the Employment Term for any reason whatsoever, the
Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to
reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this
Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive or
benefit provided to the Executive as the result of employment by another
employer or otherwise. The Company’s obligations to make the payments provided
for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall
not be affected by any circumstances, including without limitation any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have
against the Executive.

 

 

8. GROSS-UP

          8.1. Gross-up Payment. In the event that the Executive shall become
entitled to the payments and/or benefits provided by Section 5 or any other
amounts (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 covered by Code Section 280G(b)(2) or any person affiliated
with the Company or such person) (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such
Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”), imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (as any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed), the
Company shall, subject to Section 9, pay to the Executive at the time specified
in Section 8.4 below 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 federal, state and local income tax and Excise Tax
upon the Gross-up Payment provided for by this Section 8.1, but before deduction
for any federal, state or local income tax on the Company Payments, shall be
equal to the Company Payments. Payments of any tax reimbursements under this
Section 8.1 shall be made by the end of the calendar year following the calendar
year in which the Executive remits the related taxes.

          8.2. Method of Calculation. 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, (a) 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 Code 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

- 14 -

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

opinion of the Company independent certified public accountants appointed prior
to any change in ownership (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(2)) or tax
counsel selected by such accountants (the “Accountants”) such Total Payments (in
whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” 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 (b) 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 280(G) of the Code.

          8.3. Reimbursement. For purposes of determining the amount of the
Gross-up Payment, the Executive shall be treated as paying federal income taxes
at his actual tax rate for federal income taxation in the calendar year in which
the Gross-up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at his
actual 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 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 federal and 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 federal and 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 federal, state or 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
good faith claim for refund or credit is denied. Furthermore, to the extent any
repayment of such amount would be in violation of the Sarbonne Oxley Act, there
shall be no such obligation of repayment.

          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.

          8.4. Date of Payment. Subject to Section 9, the Gross-up Payment or
portion thereof provided for in Section 8.3 above shall be paid not later than
the thirtieth 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

- 15 -

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

payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Code Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code), subject to further payments pursuant to Section 8.3
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.

          8.5. Expenses. The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the
Accountant, which the Company shall pay prior to the applicable Short Term
Deferral Date after the charges are incurred.

two or more installments, for purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment

          9.3. Separation From Service. A termination of employment shall not be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement
providing for the payment of amounts or benefits subject to Code Section 409A
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 “resignation,”
“termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation
from Service.

          9.4. Specified Employee. If the Executive is deemed on the date of
termination of his employment to be a “specified employee”, within the meaning
of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and using the
identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if
none, the default methodology, then:

 

 

 

          (a) With regard to any payment, the providing of any benefit or any
distribution of equity that constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to Code
Section 409A, payable upon separation from service, such payment, benefit or
distribution shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s
Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Executive’s death; and

 

 

 

          (b) On the first day of the seventh month following the date of
Executive’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, on the date of his death,
(x) all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 9 with interest at the prime

not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement, of in-kind benefits, provided during any
taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or
in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the
foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated without regard to expenses
reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely
because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the
arrangement is in effect and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the
last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the
expense occurred.

          9.6. Payment Period. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies
a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be
made within forty (40) days following the date of termination), the actual date
of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of
the Company.

          9.7. Compliance. If 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, the
Company shall, after consulting with the Executive, reform such provision to
comply with Code Section 409A; provided that the Company agrees to maintain, to
the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the
Executive of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code
Section 409A.

          9.8. Other Plans and Agreements. The Company agrees that it will
maintain this agreement and all other plans and programs in which the Executive
