notice (a “Notice of Termination”); provided, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, change the Date of Termination to any earlier date following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Termination. A Notice of
Termination submitted by the Company may provide for a Date of Termination on the date the Executive receives the Notice of Termination, or any date thereafter elected by the Company in its sole discretion. The failure by the Executive or the
Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or 



  

 5 









	 	 
the Company hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the
Company’s rights hereunder. 


  

	 	(c)	Company Obligations upon Termination. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) – (vii) or for any reason or circumstance
other than the reasons and circumstances set forth in Section 4(a)(i) – (vii), the Executive (or the Executive’s estate) shall be entitled to receive the sum of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination
not theretofore paid, any expenses, incurred up to the Date of Termination, owed to the Executive under Section 3(f), any accrued vacation pay owed to the Executive pursuant to Section 3(e), and any amount arising, up to the
Date of Termination, from the Executive’s participation in, or benefits under any employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements under Section 3(d), which amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements. 

  

	5.	Severance Payments. 

  
 In addition to any amounts to be paid under Section 4(c), the Executive shall receive the amounts and benefits set forth in Section 5(a): 
  

	 	(a)	Termination without Cause. If the Executive’s employment shall terminate without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv), the Company shall: 


 

	 	(i)	pay to the Executive, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice following the Date of Termination, an amount equal to the Annual Base Salary that the Executive
would have been entitled to receive if the Executive had continued his employment hereunder for a period of one year following the Date of Termination; and 

  

	 	(ii)	continue coverage for the Executive and any dependents under all Company group health benefit plans in which the Executive any dependents were entitled to participate immediately
prior to the Date of Termination for one year following the Date of Termination, to the extent permitted thereunder; provided that, Executive’s receipt of the payments or benefits under this Section 5(a) is conditioned upon the
execution, without revocation, by the Executive of a binding general waiver and release of claim in a form agreed upon by the Company and the Executive. 

  

	 	(b)	Mitigation of Damages. In the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company other than for retirement, the Executive shall be required to seek

indirectly engage in, have any equity interest in, or manage or operate any person, firm, corporation, partnership or business (whether as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise) that
engages in any business which competes with any business of the Company or any entity owned by the Company anywhere in the world provided, however, that the Executive shall be permitted to acquire a passive stock or equity interest in such a
business provided the stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than five percent of the outstanding interest in such business. 

  

	 	(b)	During the Term or during the term set forth in Section 6(a) whichever is longer, the Executive will not, and will not permit any of his affiliates to, directly or
indirectly, recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any employee, customer, subscriber or supplier of the Company to terminate its employment or arrangement with the Company, otherwise change its relationship with the Company, or establish any
relationship with the Executive or any of his affiliates for any business purpose deemed competitive with the business of the Company. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event the terms of this Section 6 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of
time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to
which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

	 	(c)	The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the
return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought and shall assist such counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process.

Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of breach of any of the
covenants contained in Sections 6, 7 and 8, in addition to any other remedy

	16.	Amendments; Waivers. 

  
 This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Executive and a duly authorized officer of
Company. By an instrument in writing similarly executed, the Executive or a duly authorized officer of the Company may waive compliance by the other party or parties with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to
comply with or perform, provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity. 
  

	17.	No Inconsistent Actions. 

  
 The parties hereto shall not voluntarily undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action inconsistent with the provisions or essential
intent of this Agreement. Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties hereto to act in a fair and reasonable manner with respect to the interpretation and application of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

	18.	Construction. 

  
 This Agreement shall be deemed drafted equally by both the parties. Its language shall be construed as a whole and according to its fair meaning. Any
presumption or principle that the language is to be construed against any party shall not apply. The headings in this Agreement are only for convenience and are not intended to affect construction or interpretation. Any references to paragraphs,
subparagraphs, sections or subsections are to those parts of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. Also, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, (a) the plural includes the singular and the singular
includes the plural; (b) “and” and “or” are each used both conjunctively and disjunctively; (c) “any,” “all,” “each,” or “every” means “any and all,” and “each and
every”; (d) “includes” and “including” are each “without limitation”; (e) “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” refer to the entire
Agreement and not to any particular paragraph, subparagraph, section or subsection; and (f) all pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the entities or
persons referred to may require. 
  

	19.	Arbitration. 

  
 Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before an arbitrator
in North Carolina in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction, provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to seek a
restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to 

  

 11 








 
prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Sections 6, 7 or 8 of the Agreement and the Executive hereby consents that such
restraining order or injunction may be granted without requiring the Company to post a bond. Only individuals who are (i) lawyers engaged fulltime in the practice of law; and (ii) on the AAA register of arbitrators shall be selected as an
arbitrator. Within twenty days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall prepare written findings of fact and conclusions of law. It is mutually agreed that the written decision of the arbitrator shall be valid, binding,
final and non-appealable, provided however, that the parties hereto agree that the arbitrator shall not be empowered to award punitive damages against any party to such arbitration. The arbitrator shall require the non-prevailing party to pay the
arbitrator’s full fees and expenses or, if in the arbitrator’s opinion there is no prevailing party, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses will be borne equally by the parties thereto. In the event action is brought to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19, the non-prevailing parties shall be required to pay the reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of the prevailing parties, except that if in the opinion of the court or arbitrator
deciding such action there is no prevailing party, each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees and expenses. 
  

	20.	Enforcement. 

  
 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this
Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added
automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable. 
  

	21.	Withholding. 

  
 The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or
charges which the Company is required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any questions as to the amount or requirement of withholding shall arise. 
  

	22.	Employee Acknowledgement. 

  
 The Executive acknowledges that he has read and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not acted in reliance upon any
representations or promises made by the Company other than those contained in writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement freely based on his own judgment. 
  

 12 









	23.	Indemnification and Liability Insurance.  

  
 The Company hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify the Executive and hold him harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law and under the By-laws of
the Company against and in respect to any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), losses, and damages resulting from the Executive’s good faith performance of his duties
and obligations with the Company. The Company, within 30 days of presentation of invoices, shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable legal fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any potentially
indemnifiable matter under this Section 23; provided, however, that the Executive shall consult with the Company prior to selecting his counsel and shall obtain the Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, of such
counsel.
