In the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause pursuant to this Section 8(c), the Company shall pay to the Executive Accrued Benefits that had been earned but unpaid as of the date of the termination, and the Executive shall receive no further payments of any kind. |

| 7. | Trade Secrets. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s obligations under Section 10 are separate and distinct from the Executive’s promise and obligation, affirmed by this Agreement, not to disclose or use the Company’s or its Affiliates’ “Trade Secrets,” as defined by the applicable federal and state laws. During and at all times after the Term, Trade Secrets of the Company shall be subject to the maximum protections available under applicable law and no less protection than that provided by this Agreement applicable to “Confidential Information,” as described in Section 10. |

| 8. | Protected Rights. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Executive from reporting to any governmental authority information concerning possible violations of law or regulation. Provided the Executive does so consistent with 18 U.S.C. § 1833, the Executive may disclose Trade Secret information to a government official or to an attorney for the purposes of obtaining legal advice or use it in certain court proceedings without fear of prosecution or liability if the Trade Secret information is filed under seal. |

| 19. | Section 409A Compliance.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any payment that would otherwise constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended (“Section 409A”), shall be paid within 2 1⁄2 months following the end of the year in which such amount has been earned, but in no case later than the December 31st following the calendar year in which such compensation is otherwise earned. Although the Company makes no guarantee with respect to the tax or other treatment of payments or benefits under this Agreement and shall not be responsible in any event with regard to this Agreement’s compliance with Section 409A, payments under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A and will be limited, construed and interpreted in a manner so as to comply therewith.

| 20. | Section 280G. If any payment(s) or benefit(s) the Executive would receive pursuant to this Agreement and/or pursuant to any other agreement or arrangement would (a) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, (b) but for this Section, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), and (c) if the net-after tax amount (taking into account all applicable taxes payable by the Executive, including any Excise Tax) that the Executive would receive with respect to such payments or benefits does not exceed the Reduced Amount, then such payment(s) or benefit(s) (collectively, “Payments”) shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.  The “Reduced Amount” shall be the largest portion of the Payments that can be paid or provided without causing any portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payments equal the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order: (i) first, any severance payments; (ii) second, any other cash payments due under any other agreement between the Company and the Executive; (iii) third, cancellation of the acceleration of vesting of any stock options; (iv) fourth, cancellation of the acceleration of vesting of any restricted stock and restricted stock units; and (v) lastly, other non-cash forms of benefits. Calculations of the foregoing will be performed at the expense of the Company by an accounting firm selected by the Company. The determinations of such accounting firm shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive. |
