    WHEREAS,
      the
      Employer and the Executive wish to enter
      into this Agreement to
      set
      forth
      the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment by the
      Company.


    


    Accordingly,
      in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreement set forth herein and
      the
      mutual benefits to be derived herefrom, and intending to be legally bound
      hereby, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

    


    1. Employment

    


    1.1 Duties.
      The
      Company shall employ the Executive on the terms and conditions set forth in
      this
      Agreement, as Research & Development Director (“R&D Director”). As
      R&D Director, Executive will be responsible for managing research and
      development of new generation of precision motor servo controllers for
      industrial automation. The Executive accepts such employment with the Company
      and shall perform and fulfill such other duties as are assigned to him hereunder
      consistent with his status as a senior executive of the Company, devoting his
      best efforts and substantially all of his professional time and attention (which
      shall constitute no less than forty (40) working hours per week) to accomplish
      the performance and fulfillment of his duties hereunder and to the advancement
      of the best interests of the Company, subject only to the direction, approval,
      and control of the Company’s specific directives of the Board of Managers of the
      Company and Executive’s superiors (collectively, “Senior Management”).


    


    1.2 Place
      of Performance.
      In
      connection with his employment by the Company, the Executive shall be based

      business.

    


    2. Term
      of Employment.

    


    The
      term
      of employment of the Executive shall begin on the date entered above and shall
      continue for eighteen (18) months, unless earlier terminated as set forth
      herein. The Executive understands and agrees that neither his job performance
      nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise
      to
      or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment or extension,
      by
      implication or otherwise, of his term of employment with the
      Company.

      Salary.
      During

      follows:

    


    3.1.1 The
      Base
      Salary to be paid to Executive shall be $95,000 on annualized
      basis;

    3.2 Bonus.
      During
      the term of this Agreement, the Executive may receive a
      bonus,
      which the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Managers shall
      determine annually and which shall be based on the same criteria and/or formulae
      as are used in determining the bonuses and non-salary distributions paid to
      similarly situated employees.

    3.3 Health
      Insurance and Other Benefits.
      During
      the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be provided all employee

      life
      insurance plans or arrangements and shall be entitled to participate in all
      pension, profit sharing, stock option and any other employee benefit plan or
      arrangement established and maintained by the Company, all subject, however,
      to

      of Expenses.

    


    The
      Executive shall be reimbursed for all items of travel, entertainment and
      miscellaneous expenses which the Executive reasonably incurs in connection

      $500 are approved by Senior Management prior to being incurred, (b) the
      Executive submits to the Company on proper forms provided by the Company such
      statements and other evidence supporting such expenses as the Company may
      reasonably require and (c) such expenses meet the Company’s policy concerning
      such matters.

      hereunder for less than the entire Year).

    


    6. Termination
      of Employment.

    


    6.1 Severance
      upon Termination without Cause.
      If the
      Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined
      below) (the date of termination is referred to as the “Termination Date”), then
      the Company shall pay the Executive in lieu of other damages, an amount (the
      “Severance Payments”) equal to his then current Base Salary payable in
      installments at the same time the Company pays salary to its other senior
      executive employees for four (4) weeks (the “Severance Period”). The Company
      shall have no liability to make any Severance Payments as provided for in this
      paragraph unless (i) the Executive executes a Separation Agreement and General
      Release in a form satisfactory to the Company, and (ii) Executive complies
      with
      all provisions in Section 8 (Restrictive Covenants). In addition, (i) any
      Company stock options not vested at the time of termination shall immediately
      terminate and (ii) the Company shall maintain during the Severance Period all
      employee benefit plans and programs which the Executive participated in
      immediately prior to such termination other than bonus, Commission, incentive
      compensation and similar plans based on performance, provided Executive’s
      participation is permissible under the general terms and provisions of such
      plans. If Executive is terminated for Cause, he shall receive only those amounts
      earned but not distributed under the relevant plan, program or practice of
      the
      Company.

    


    6.2 Voluntary
      Termination; Termination for Cause.
      If
      Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for “Cause” by the Company
      (as defined below) or if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment
      with the Company at any time, then (i) all payments of compensation by the
      Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts
      already earned), and (ii) Executive will only be eligible for severance benefits
      in accordance with the Company’s established policies as then in
      effect.

    


    7. Definitions.

    


    7.1 Cause.
      For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) the Executive’s
      continued substantial violations of his employment duties (other than a failure
      resulting from the Executive’s in ability to perform his duties because of
      illness or other physical or mental incapacity (based on a medical report
      provided to the Company) after the Executive has received written demand for
      performance from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Board which
      sets forth the factual basis for the Company’s belief that the Executive has not
      substantially performed his duties;
      (ii) the Executive engaging in illegal conduct
      that was or is reasonably likely to be materially injurious to the business
      or

      Executive and the Company; or (v) the Executive being convicted of, or
      entering a plea of nolo
      contendere to,
      a

      turpitude, dishonesty or fraud against, or the misappropriation of material
      property belonging to, the Company or its affiliates.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    


    8. Restrictive
      Covenants.

    


    8.1 Covenant
      Not to Compete.
      Executive recognizes that the Company is engaged in a highly competitive
      business, personal contact is of primary importance in securing new customers
      and in retaining the accounts and goodwill of present customers and protecting
      the Business of the Company. The Executive, therefore, agrees that during the
      Employment Period and (x) during the Severance Period if Executive is receiving
      Severance Payments or
      (y)
      after Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, for one (1) year following

      “Restricted Period”),
      he will
      not, with respect to the Company’s Business (i) accept employment or render
      service to any Person that is engaged in a business directly competitive with
      the Company’s Business or (ii) enter into or take part in or lend his name,
      counsel or assistance to any business, either as proprietor, principal,
      investor, partner, director, officer, executive, consultant, advisor, agent,
      independent contractor, or in any other capacity whatsoever, for any purpose
      that would be competitive with the Company’s Business (all of the foregoing
      activities are collectively referred to as the “Prohibited Activity”). For these
      purposes, the Company’s Business shall mean (i)
      design, manufacturing and sales of precision servo motor controllers for
      industrial automation, and (ii) any other business engaged in by the Company
      on
      the Termination Date.

      whether prepared by him or others.

    


    8.2.3 Notwithstanding
      any provision to the contrary in Section 8, this paragraph shall not apply
      to
      information which the Executive is called upon by legal process (including,
      without limitation, by subpoena or discovery requirement) to disclose or any
      information which has become part of the public domain or is otherwise publicly
      disclosed through no fault or action of the Executive.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    


    8.2.4 For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any
      information relating in any way to the business of the Company disclosed to

      to, technical and non-technical information about the Company’s proprietary
      products, processes, programs, concepts, forms, business methods, data, any
      and
      all financial and accounting data, employees, marketing, customers, customer
      lists, and services and information corresponding thereto acquired by the
      Executive during the term of the Executive’s employment by the Company.
      Confidential Information shall not include any of such items which are published
      or are otherwise part of the public domain, or freely available from trade
      sources or otherwise.

    


    8.2.5 Upon

      a
      designated officer of the Company all equipment and/or tangible property then
      in
      the Executive’s possession or custody which belongs or relates to the Company,
      including, without limitation, copies or reproductions of correspondence,
      memoranda, reports, notebooks, drawings, photographs, data base, or any other
      documents or electronically stored information which constitutes Confidential
      Information.

    


    8.3 Trade
      Secrets - Intellectual Property Rights.
      Executive shall provide the Company with any copyrightable work, trade secrets
      and other protectable intellectual property that are related to the Company’s
      Business and that are developed or produced by Executive while in the employment
      of the Company pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Work
      Product”).

    


    8.3.1 All
      Work
      Product shall be considered works made for hire and shall be the exclusive
      property of the Company and the Company shall be considered the author and/or
      creator of such work for worldwide copyright purposes and renewals and
      extensions thereof. The Company may request, at its own cost and expense, that
      Executive assist the Company in obtaining worldwide patent, copyright and other
      property rights for the Work Product.

    


    8.3.2 If
      Executive’s rights in the Work Product cannot be assigned to the Company, the
      Executive waives enforcement of all such rights against the Company. The
      Executive further agrees to join in any action, at the Company’s sole cost and
      expense, to enforce or to procure a waiver of such rights.

    


    8.3.3 If
      the
      rights of the Work Product cannot be waived or the Work Product is not deemed
      a
“work for hire”, the Executive hereby grants the Company and its assigns a
      worldwide royalty-free license to reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly
      display, sublicense and assign such rights in all media or distribution
      technologies now known and hereinafter developed or devised.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    


    8.3.4 The
      Executive hereby appoints the Company as his attorney in fact to execute and
      file any patent, copyright or other lawful application with respect to the
      Work
      Product.

    


    8.4 Conflict
      of Interest.
      Executive shall exercise good judgment and maintain high ethical standards
      in
      the course of his dealings so as to preclude the possibility of a conflict
      between the interest of the Company and his own personal interest. Executive,
      therefore, has an obligation to avoid any activity, agreement, personal
      interest, or other relationship or situation which: (i) conflicts with the
      Company’s best interest; (ii) interferes with Executive’s responsibility to
      serve the Company to the best of Executive’s ability; or (iii) gives the
      appearance of self dealing.

    


    8.4.1 This
      policy requires that Executive shall not have any relationship, nor engage
      in
      any activity that might impair the independence or judgment in the execution
      of
      Executive’s duties. Executive shall not have any direct or indirect personal
      financial interests in suppliers of property, goods or services that would
      affect his decisions or actions on the Company’s behalf. Executive shall not
      accept gifts, benefits, or unusual hospitality that would be reasonably likely
      to influence Executive in the performance of his duties.

    


    8.4.2 If
      any
      possible conflict of interest situation arises, the Executive is responsible
      to
      immediately disclose the facts to the Board of Managers of the Company so that
      an evaluation may determine whether a problem exists and, if so, to eliminate
      it.

    


    8.5 Nonsolicitation.
      During
      the
      term of this Agreement and during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not,
      directly or indirectly, induce, attempt to induce, or aid others in inducing
      any
      of Company’s employees to accept employment or affiliation with another firm,
      partnership, association, or company. 

    


    8.6 Injunctive
      Relief/Legal Remedies.
      The
      Parties agree that the remedy at law for any breach by Executive of this
      Agreement, and specifically the provisions of Section 8 (“Restrictive
      Covenants”), will be inadequate and that the Company or any of its subsidiaries
      or other successors or assigns shall be entitled to injunctive relief without
      bond. Such injunctive relief shall not be exclusive, but shall be in addition
      to
      any other rights and remedies Company or any of its subsidiaries or their
      successors or assigns might have for such breach.

    


    8.6.1 The
      Employee acknowledges: (i) that compliance with the restrictive provisions
      contained in Section 8 is necessary to protect the business and goodwill of
      the
      Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) that a breach of this Agreement will
      result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company, for which monetary
      damages may not provide adequate relief. Consequently, Employee agrees that
      in
      the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the restrictive covenants
      described herein, the Company, at its discretion, shall be entitled to seek
      both: (i) a preliminary and/or permanent injunction in order to prevent such
      damage, or continuation of such damage, and (ii) monetary damages as
      determinable. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to restrict and/or
      prohibit the Company from pursuing any and all other remedies; the employee
      acknowledges that all remedies are cumulative.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    


    8.6.2 If
      any
      legal action arises to enforce the Company’s trade secrets, the prevailing party
      shall be entitled to recover any and all damages, as well as all costs and
      expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing or
      attempting to enforce the Company’s trade secrets.

    


    9. Arbitration. 

    


    9.1 Any
      and
      all disputes, controversies and claims arising out of, or relating to, this
      Agreement, or with respect to the interpretation of this Agreement, or the
      rights or obligations of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns,
      whether by operation of law or otherwise, shall be settled and determined by
      arbitration in New York, New York, pursuant to the then existing rules of the
      American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), for commercial arbitration. Each party
      shall pay their own legal fees. The losing party shall pay the fees and costs
      imposed by the AAA; if neither party clearly prevails in the arbitration, the
      parties shall request that the AAA appointed arbitrator apportion the AAA’s fees
      and costs between the parties. 

    


    9.2 The
      Parties covenant and agree that the decision of the AAA shall be final and
      binding and hereby waive their right to appeal therefrom.

    


    9.3 The
      arbitrator(s) will apply New York law to the merits of any dispute or claim,
      without reference to rules of conflicts of law. The arbitration proceedings
      will
      be governed by federal arbitration law and by then existing rules of the AAA,
      without reference to arbitration law. Executive and the Company hereby consent
      to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New
      York, New York for any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this
      Agreement or relating to any arbitration in which the Parties are
      participants.

    


    9.4 THE
      EXECUTIVE HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS SECTION, WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION.
      THE EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE AGREES
      TO
      SUBMIT ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
      AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH
      OR
      TERMINATION THEREOF TO BINDING ARBITRATION, AND THAT THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE
      CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF THE EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE
      RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EMPLOYEE
      RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS.
