                  of Reasonableness/Enforcement/Tolling.

              


      

      


      (a)    The
        existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company
        predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense
        to the
        enforcement by the Company of these covenants. Executive acknowledges and
        confirms (i) that the restrictions contained herein are fair and reasonable
        and
        not the result of overreaching, duress, or coercion of any kind, and (ii)
        that
        Executive’s full, uninhibited, and faithful observance of each of the covenants
        contained in this Agreement will not cause Executive any undue hardship,
        financial or otherwise. In the event that any court shall formally hold that
        the
        restrictions in this Article II are unreasonable, Executive hereby expressly
        agrees that the restrictions shall not be rendered void, but shall apply
        to the
        extent that such court may judicially determine or indicate constitutes a
        reasonable restriction.

      (b)    Executive
        acknowledges that the services to be rendered by Executive hereunder are
        extraordinary and unique and are vital to the success of the Company, and
        that
        damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for any breach or threatened
        breach
        of this Agreement by Executive. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
        threatened breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement, the Company
        shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to injunctions
        restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage
        or to
        post any bond or other security. No remedy herein conferred upon any party
        is
        intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy
        shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
        hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise. No
        single
        or partial exercise by any party of any right, power or remedy hereunder
        shall
        preclude any other or further exercise thereof.

      


      (c)    In
        the
        event the Company should bring any legal action or other proceeding for the
        enforcement of the Agreement, the time for calculating the confidentiality
        or
        non-solicitation period, or terms of any other restriction herein shall not
        include the period of time commencing with the filing of the legal action
        or
        other proceeding to enforce the terms of the Agreement through the date of
        final
        judgment or final resolution, including all appeals, if any, of such legal
        action or other proceeding.

      Section
        4.2    Resignation
        by Executive.
        Executive’s employment may be terminated by Executive during the term of this
        Agreement upon the occurrence of one or more of the following
        events:

      (a)    Voluntary
        Resignation. Executive may terminate his/her employment under this Agreement,
        after the initial term, by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
        Company stating Executive’s election to terminate his/her employment with the
        Company. The Company may accept such resignation effective as of any date
        during
        such thirty (30) day period as the Company deems appropriate; provided, however,
        Executive shall receive from the Company his/her base salary and be entitled
        to
        participate in any the Company benefit plans in which he/she was a participant
        as of the effective date of his/her resignation for the duration of such
        thirty
        (30) day period (as further provided in Section 4.4(a) hereof).

      


      (b)    Resignation
        With Cause.
        Upon
        the effective date of written notice sent to the Company stating Executive’s
        determination of “Constructive Termination” (hereinafter defined) by the
        Company; provided,
        however,
        if the
        Constructive Termination is curable, then the Company shall have thirty (30)
        days after Executive’s written notice to cure such condition and if the Company
        fails to cure such condition to the reasonable satisfaction of Executive,
        then
        Executive may immediately terminate his/her employment with the Company,
        such
        termination to be conclusively deemed to be a resignation with cause. For
        purposes of this Agreement, “Constructive Termination” shall mean:

      


      (i)    Such
        change in duties or position as: 

       

      (A)    the
        assignment (other than an occasional temporary assignment) to Executive of
        any
        duties not commensurate with Executive’s position, duties, responsibilities and
        status with the Company; 

       

      (B)    a
        material
        change in Executive’s reporting responsibilities, (i.e., reporting to a lower
        tier) or a diminution in Executive’s titles or offices; or

      


      (C)    a
        material
        diminution of Executive’s authority or responsibilities.

      


      (ii)    A
        reduction in Executive’s base salary specified in Section 1.4(a) hereof for the
        calendar year 2005, or a reduction in Executive’s base salary in effect for the
        prior calendar year for all succeeding years (other than pro rata reductions
        in
        compensation for all senior executives of the Company).

      


      (iii)   the
        Company’s failure to comply in any material respect with the terms of this
        Agreement, which failure has an adverse effect on Executive.

      


      Section
        4.3    Change
        of Control.
        Upon
        (i) the effective date of a written notice sent to Executive by the Company
        stating that a “Change of Control” (hereinafter defined) has occurred or will
        occur and Executive’s employment will be terminated in connection therewith
        (despite the Company’s best efforts to the contrary as set forth in Section 5.8
        hereof), which notice must be given no later than thirty (30) days following
        such Change of Control, or (ii) the date of termination if Executive is
        terminated without cause or resigns with cause within twelve (12) months
        of a
        Change of Control. A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (A)
        as a result of any merger, consolidation, sale, assignment, transfer or other
        transaction, any person, other than those persons who are shareholders of
        the
        Company or its affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities
        Act
        of 1933) on the date hereof, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule
        13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of
        more
        than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or the surviving
        entity or becomes entitled to elect more than one-half (1⁄2) of the Board or other
        governing body of the Company or the surviving entity; (B) a tender offer
        shall
        be made and consummated of the ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding
        voting securities of the Company; or (C) the Company sells, assigns or otherwise
        transfers all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, to persons
        other than those persons who are shareholders of the Company or its affiliates;
        provided,
        however, in
        no
        event shall a financing transaction (such as additional rounds of financing),
        which is approved by the Board and entered into by the Company be deemed
        to be a
“Change of Control”.

        to

        also pay to Executive’s estate his/her base salary for a period of one (1) month
        after the date of Executive’s death), as well as any accrued but unpaid vacation
        time. For purposes of this Agreement, one and one-half (1.5) week of vacation
        shall be deemed to accrue every six (6) months. Executive shall not be entitled
        to receive any severance pay except to the extent the Board, in its sole
        discretion, elects to authorize severance pay in the event of Executive’s
        voluntary resignation.

        vest. In the case of voluntary resignation during the initial term of the
        agreement, any unexercised options, vested or unvested shall revert to the
        Company.

      


      (b)    Termination

        be less any disability benefits provided by the Company). In addition, Executive
        shall be entitled to six (6) month’s salary continuation (provided, however,
        there shall be one (1) year salary continuation in the event of a Change
        of
        Control) at the then current rate, payable in accordance with the normal
        payroll
        practices of the Company. Such severance payments are to be considered
        compensation for services previously rendered hereunder.

          rights under other benefit plans shall be determined under the provisions
          of
          those plans.



      (iii)   Executive
        shall be entitled to a bonus under Section 1.4(b) hereof for the year of
        termination in any amount as may be determined by the Board (or by the
