that it currently has and will maintain directors and officers liability insurance. 
 1.2 Term.

 1.2.2 Renewal Term or Terms. The term of this
Agreement will automatically extend into one or more “Renewal Terms” of an additional one-year period that will expire on March 31, 2012 (or March 31 of any such subsequent Renewal Term), unless Corporation, not later than

for any reason or for no reason. Failure to extend the Term into a Renewal Term will not constitute a termination of Executive’s employment effective as of the end of the Term or any applicable Renewal Term for purposes of this Agreement.
References to the “Term” of this Agreement include the initial Term and, if the Agreement extends into one or more Renewal Terms pursuant to this Section, the Renewal Term or Terms. 

1.2.3 At-Will Employment. The parties acknowledge that Executive is and will be an at-will employee of Corporation and nothing in
this Agreement will limit the right of Corporation or Executive to terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or for no reason, subject to the provisions of this Agreement describing the compensation payable, if any, in connection with such
a termination of employment. 
 1.2.4 Compensation Upon Termination Following Term of Agreement. Notwithstanding
termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 7 will continue to apply. 
 1.3 Duties. During the Term,
Executive will serve in an executive capacity as President, PPT Division of Corporation. Executive will report directly to Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive will be responsible for management of the PPT Division and such other or

 1.5 Application of Corporate Policies. Executive will, except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, be subject to Corporation’s rules, practices, and policies applicable generally to Corporation’s senior executive employees, as such rules, practices, and policies may be revised from time to time by the Board.

 2. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES 

2.1 Base Salary. Commencing April 1, 2010, Executive’s annual base salary will be $231,750, payable by Corporation in a
manner consistent with Corporation’s payroll practices for management employees, as such practices may be revised from time to time. Executive’s annual base salary will be reviewed by Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and
Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) on or before April 1 of each year during the Term (commencing in 2011), unless Executive’s employment has been terminated earlier pursuant to this Agreement, to determine if such annual
base salary should be increased (but not decreased) for the following fiscal year in recognition of services to Corporation. 

2.2 Annual Bonus. Executive will be eligible to receive a cash bonus for services during each fiscal year during the Term
beginning with fiscal 2011 and payable, to the extent earned, no later than June 30 of the following fiscal year. The target amount of such annual cash bonus will be $200,000, with the actual amount payable to be determined in accordance with

provisions of the Plan or such other long-term plan. 
 2.4 Additional Employee Benefits. Executive will receive an
annual grant of 208 hours of credit (or such higher number of hours as are credited to Corporation’s other senior executives) under Corporation’s Personal Time Off (PTO) program. Personal time off and vacation may be taken in accordance
with Corporation’s rules, practices, and policies applicable to Corporation’s senior executive employees, as such rules, practices, and policies may be revised from time to time by the Board or the Committee. During the Term, Executive

or terminating any such Benefit Plans. 
 2.5 Expenses. Subject to review and approval by the chairman of
Corporation’s audit committee, Corporation will reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses actually incurred by Executive in connection with the business of Corporation. Executive will submit to Corporation such substantiation for such
expenses as may be reasonably required by Corporation. 
 3. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 3.2 Access to Information. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his
employment he has had and will have access to Confidential Information, that such information is a valuable asset of Corporation, and that its disclosure or unauthorized use will cause Corporation substantial harm. 

3.3 Ownership. Executive acknowledges that all Confidential Information will continue to be the exclusive property of Corporation
(or the third party that disclosed it to Corporation), whether or not prepared in whole or in part by Executive and whether or not disclosed to Executive or entrusted to his custody in connection with his employment by Corporation. 

3.4 Nondisclosure and Nonuse. Unless authorized or instructed in advance in writing by Corporation, or required by law (as
determined by licensed legal counsel), Executive will not, except as required in the course of Corporation’s business, during or after his employment, disclose to others or use any Confidential Information, unless and until, and then only to
the extent that, such items become available to the public through no fault of Executive. 
 3.5 Return of Confidential
Information. Upon request by Corporation during or after his employment, and without request upon termination of employment pursuant to this Agreement, Executive will deliver immediately to Corporation all written, stored, saved, or otherwise

Executive’s employment under this Agreement may terminate as follows: 

5.1 Death. Executive’s employment will terminate automatically upon the date of Executive’s death.

5.7 Applicable Noncompete Periods upon Termination. The duration of Executive’s obligations under Section 4 (the
“Noncompete Period”) will be as follows: 
 (a) In the event Executive terminates his employment with Corporation for
Good Reason under Section 5.4 or Corporation terminates Executive’s employment with Corporation without Cause under Section 5.5, the Noncompete Period will continue so long as Executive is entitled to receive Monthly Severance
Payments under Sections 6.3(a) or 7.2(a) (without giving effect to any prepayment pursuant to the Outside Payment Date provisions of such Sections). Executive’s obligations under this Agreement will terminate immediately if Corporation
fails to make a Monthly Severance Payment within 15 days after it is due. For this purpose, a check for a Monthly Severance Payment mailed within such 15-day period (as evidenced by official postmark) will be deemed to be made within such 15-day
period. 
 (b) Subject to extension by Corporation as provided below, in the event Executive terminates his employment with
Corporation other than for Good Reason under Section 5.6, the Noncompete Period will be one year from the date of termination. Corporation may in its sole discretion extend the Noncompete Period for a period not to extend beyond 24 months from
the date the Noncompete Period would otherwise expire by agreeing to make Monthly Severance Payments to Executive during the extended Noncompete Period. To extend the Noncompete Period, Corporation must give Executive written notice (an
“Extension Notice”) no later than 60 days following the date of termination, stating the elected duration of the extended Noncompete Period. The Extension Notice will constitute a binding commitment by Corporation to make Monthly Severance
Payments for the full duration of the extended Noncompete Period and no further extension of the Noncompete Period will be permitted. Executive’s obligations under this Agreement will terminate immediately if Corporation fails to make a Monthly
Severance Payment within 15 days after it is due. 
 (c) In the event Corporation terminates Executive’s employment for
Cause, the Noncompete Period will be one year from the date of termination. 
 6. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION DURING TERM OF AGREEMENT 

 6.1 Definitions. For purposes of Sections 6.3 and 7.2, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

 “Applicable Severance Period” means the greater of (i) six months, or (ii) a period
equal to three months for each full four years of continuous service as an employee of Corporation, determined based on the number of full years of service as of the date of termination. For example, for an employee with 18 years of continuous
service as of the date of termination, the Applicable Severance Period would be 12 months.

 “Outside Payment Date” means the
later of (i) the 15th day of the third calendar month

(b) Other benefits under Benefit Plans to which Executive was entitled upon such termination of employment in accordance with the terms
of such Benefit Plans. 
 6.3 Termination Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. 

(a) Monthly Severance Payments. 

(i) If prior to the expiration of the Term, Executive terminates his employment with Corporation for Good Reason under
Section 5.4 or Corporation terminates Executive’s employment with Corporation without Cause under Section 5.5, Executive will be entitled to the benefits described in Section 6.2, plus severance payments equal to the Applicable
Severance Period (or, if longer, the number of whole calendar months remaining in the Term) multiplied by the base salary per month in effect as of the date of termination, payable in equal monthly installments (each installment, a “Monthly
Severance Payment”). Monthly Severance Payments will be paid in monthly installments commencing in the calendar month following termination; provided however, that if the period over which Monthly Severance Payments would otherwise be payable
would extend beyond the Outside Payment Date, the unpaid portion of the aggregate amount of Monthly Severance Payments as of the Outside Payment Date will be paid to Executive in a lump sum not later than the Outside Payment Date. 

(ii) Corporation’s obligations to pay Monthly Severance Payments under this Section 6.3(a) and to continue
medical and dental insurance benefits as provided in Section 6.3(b) are expressly conditioned on (i) Executive’s execution (not later than 45 days after Executive’s termination) of a release (in the form attached to this
Agreement as Appendix 6.3(a)(ii), with such modifications specifically in response to changes in applicable law as counsel for Corporation determines to be reasonably necessary or desirable to ensure effective release of all claims) of any and all
claims that Executive may hold through the date such release is executed against Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and (ii) the expiration of any applicable revocation period specified in such release without revocation of
the release by Executive.

mitigate the Monthly Severance Payments pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment; provided however, that amounts payable by Corporation as Monthly Severance Payments will be reduced by compensation actually received by Executive from a
new employer during the severance period described above.

 (b) Medical and Dental Insurance Benefits. In addition to Monthly Severance Payments,
subject to the execution of a release as described in Section 6.3(a)(ii), Corporation will continue to provide or will arrange to provide (at Corporation’s cost) Executive with medical and dental insurance benefits substantially similar to
those to which Executive was entitled as of the date of termination until Corporation’s obligation to make Monthly Severance Payments expires (without giving effect to any prepayment pursuant to the Outside Payment Date provisions of
Section 6.3(a)); provided, however, that (i) if Executive is employed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical and dental insurance benefits under another employer-provided plan, Corporation’s obligation to provide the
medical and dental benefits described in this paragraph will terminate automatically, and (ii) any payments or reimbursements from Corporation that are not exempt from taxation under Sections 105 or 106 of the Internal Revenue Code must be
made by Corporation no later than the Outside Payment Date. 
 (c) Effect of Competition. Corporation’s obligation

6.4 Termination For Cause or by Executive Without Good Reason. In the event that, prior to the expiration of the Term, Corporation
terminates Executive’s employment with Corporation for Cause under Section 5.3, or Executive terminates his employment with Corporation for other than Good Reason under Section 5.6, Corporation’s obligations under this Agreement
will cease and Executive will be entitled to that portion of his base salary and employment benefits for which he is qualified as of the date of termination and Executive will not be entitled to any other compensation or consideration. 

6.5 No Deferral of Compensation. This Agreement is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code by reason of all payments under this Agreement being either “short-term deferrals” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-(1)(b)(4) or excluded welfare benefits under Treas. Reg.
§ 1.409A-(1)(a)(5). All provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with preserving these exemptions. 

7. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION FOLLOWING TERM OF AGREEMENT 

7.1 Application of Section. The provisions of this Section 7 apply only if Executive has five or more continuous years of
employment with Corporation.

Severance Period multiplied by the base salary per month in effect as of the date of termination, payable in equal monthly installments (each installment, a “Monthly Severance Payment”). Monthly Severance Payments will be paid in monthly
installments commencing in the calendar month following termination; provided however, that if the period over which Monthly Severance Payments would otherwise be payable would extend beyond the Outside Payment Date, the unpaid portion of the
aggregate amount of Monthly Severance Payments as of the Outside Payment Date will be paid to Executive in a lump sum not later than the Outside Payment Date.

specified in such release without revocation of the release by Executive. 
 (iii) Monthly Severance Payments
will be payable in a manner consistent with Corporation’s payroll practices for management employees. 

(iv) Executive will not be required to mitigate the Monthly Severance Payments pursuant to this Agreement by seeking
other employment; provided however, that amounts payable by Corporation as Monthly Severance Payments will be reduced by compensation actually received by Executive from a new employer during the severance period described above.

Payment Date. 
 (c) Effect of Competition. Corporation’s obligation to make Monthly Severance Payments and provide
medical and dental insurance benefits to Executive will terminate if Executive breaches a material provision of Section 4. 

7.3 Effect of Expiration of Term. The provisions of this Section 7 will continue to apply and will be binding on Corporation
and Executive after the expiration of the Term for so long as Executive continues to be an employee of Corporation unless expressly revoked or modified in writing by Corporation and Executive. 

8. REDUCTION IN SEVERANCE PAYMENTS 

8.1 Definitions. 

“Change in Control”. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means a change in ownership control
as set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.280G-1. 
 “Other Payment” means any payment or benefit payable
to Executive in connection with a Change in Control of Corporation pursuant to any plan, arrangement, or agreement (other than this Agreement) with Corporation, a person whose actions result in such Change in Control, or any person affiliated with
Corporation or such person. 
 “Total Payments” means all payments or benefits payable to Executive in
connection with a Change in Control, including Monthly Severance Payments pursuant to this Agreement and any Other Payments pursuant to any other plan, agreement, or arrangement with Corporation, a person whose actions result in the Change in
Control, or any person affiliated with Corporation or such person. 
  

 - 8 - 








 8.2 Reduction in Payments. 

(a) Amount of Reduction. In the event that any portion of the Total Payments payable to Executive in connection with a Change in
Control of Corporation would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code that is subject to the excise tax imposed on so-called excess parachute payments pursuant to
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (an “Excise Tax”), Monthly Severance Payments otherwise payable under Sections 6.3 or 7.2 will be reduced to avoid such Excise Tax if, and to the extent that, such reduction will result
in a larger after-tax benefit to Executive, taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local income and excise taxes. 

(b) Application. For purposes of this Section 8.2: 

(i) No portion of the Total Payments, the receipts or enjoyment of which Executive has effectively waived in writing
prior to the date of payment of any Monthly Severance Payments, will be taken into account; 
 (ii) No portion
of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by Corporation and reasonably acceptable to Executive (“Tax Counsel”), does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code; 
 (iii) If Executive and Corporation disagree whether any
payment of Monthly Severance Payments will result in an Excise Tax or whether a reduction in any Monthly Severance Payments will result in a larger after-tax benefit to Executive, the matter will be conclusively resolved by an opinion of Tax
Counsel; 
 (iv) Executive agrees to provide Tax Counsel with all financial information necessary to determine
the after-tax consequences of payments of Monthly Severance Payments for purposes of determining whether, or to what extent, Monthly Severance Payments are to be reduced pursuant to Section 8.2(a); and 

(v) The value of any noncash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments, and whether or
not all or a portion of any payment or benefit is a “parachute payment” for purposes of this Section 8.2, will be determined by Corporation’s independent accountants in accordance with the principles of Sections 280(G)(d)(3)
and (4) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 (c) Effect on Other Agreements. In the event that any other agreement,
plan, or arrangement providing for Other Payments (an “Other Agreement”) has a provision that requires a reduction in the Other Payment governed by such Other Agreement to avoid or eliminate an “excess parachute payment” for
purposes of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the reduction in Monthly Severance Payments pursuant to Section 8.2(a) will be given effect before any reduction in the Other Payment pursuant to the Other Agreement. To the extent
possible, Corporation and Executive agree that reductions in benefits under any plan, program, or arrangement of Corporation will be reduced (only to the extent described in Section 8.2(a)) in the following order of priority: 

(i) Monthly Severance Payments under this Agreement; 

(ii) Any other payments under this Agreement; and 

(iii) The acceleration in the exercisability of any stock option or other stock related award granted by Corporation.

 9. REMEDIES 

The respective rights and duties of Corporation and Executive under this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, those rights
and duties afforded to and imposed upon them by law or at equity. Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to Corporation and that any remedy at law would be
inadequate to protect the legitimate interests of Corporation. Executive agrees that Corporation will be entitled to specific performance, or to any other form of injunctive relief to enforce its rights under Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement
without the necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm or the posting of any bond or other security. Such remedies will be in addition to any other remedy available to Corporation at law or in equity. 

10. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS 

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, unenforceable, or unreasonable, it
will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect. 

11. NONWAIVER 
 Failure
of Corporation at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will not limit the right of Corporation to enforce the provision. No provision of this Agreement or breach of this Agreement may be waived by either party except in
writing signed by that party. A waiver of any breach of a provision of this Agreement will be construed narrowly and will not be deemed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of that provision or a waiver of that provision itself or of any other
provision. 
 12. NOTICES 

All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given if delivered by hand, or
mailed by first-class, certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the respective parties as follows (or to such other address as any party may indicate by a notice delivered to the other parties hereto): (i) if to Executive,

the arbitration proceedings) and by the court or courts, including any appellate courts, in which the matter is tried, heard, or decided, including the court which hears any exceptions made to an arbitration award submitted to it for confirmation as
a judgment (with respect to attorney fees incurred in such confirmation proceedings).

15. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
