conditioned upon the completion of the Merger, commencing as of the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement, such date to be sometimes referred to herein as the Effective Date of this Agreement), the Company desires to retain Executive as an
employee and continue to employ the Executive as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Company’s Diagnostics division and employ him as an executive officer of the Company; and 

WHEREAS, subject to and conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company agrees to provide additional incentives to the

has had at least thirty (30) days to cure such Good Reason event or condition after delivery of such written notice and has failed to cure such event or condition within such thirty (30) day cure period. 

1.8 Notice of Termination and Termination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” shall
mean (i) a written notice from the Company of termination of the Executive’s employment which indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, if any, and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated; or (ii) a written notice from the Executive to the Company of his resignation for Good Reason, which indicates the
specific provision in Section 1.7 herein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean in the case of the Executive’s death, his date of death, in the case of Good Reason or Cause, the last day of his employment,
and in all other cases, the date specified in the Notice of Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company due to Disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination shall be at least 30

4.1 The Executive and Company agree that the Change of Control Agreement entered into between the parties concurrent with this
Agreement (the “Hologic Change of Control Agreement’) shall provide, subject to and conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, that the payment of any Retention Bonus, issuance of Restricted Stock Units and for severance provided
under this Agreement shall not be taken into consideration when determining and/or calculating the Executive’s Annual Base Salary, Annual Bonus or Average Annual Bonus thereunder (as such terms are defined or used in the Hologic Change of
Control Agreement). 
 4.2 The Executive and Company agree that the Employment Agreement between Gen-Probe and the
Executive originally adopted on February 13, 2007 and subsequently amended and/or restated on or about March 1, 2008, October 31, 2008, May 18, 2009, and February 8, 2012 (collectively, the “Gen-Probe
Employment Agreement”) is terminated and of no further effect and force. 
 4.3 The Executive agrees to forever
waive any claim that, as of the Effective Date, the Merger, any diminution in duties or title associated with the Merger, or any event or condition directly and immediately related to or associated with the Merger constitutes Good Reason under this
Agreement, the Gen-Probe Employment Agreement, or the Hologic Change of Control Agreement. 
 5. Intellectual Property
Rights Agreement. In consideration for the substantial benefits being provided hereunder, the Executive agrees to execute the Company’s Employee Intellectual Property Rights and Non-Solicitation Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A,
which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. 
 6. Termination of Employment. 

6.1 If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated, then the Executive shall be entitled to the following
compensation and benefits: 
  

	 	(a)	If the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be terminated (1) by the Company for Cause, (2) by the Company for Disability, or (3) by reason
of the Executive’s death, then the Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Compensation only; provided, however, that in each case, if any of such events occurs on or after the Retention Date, Executive or his estate shall still be entitled
to all amounts set forth in sub-section (b) of this Section 6.1, to the extent such amounts have not previously been paid. 

  

	 	(b)	If, prior to or on the Retention Date, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be terminated (1) by Company without Cause, or (2) by the
Executive for Good Reason, then the Executive shall be entitled to each and all of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	The Retention Bonus shall be immediately payable to the Executive within fifteen (15) days of such termination; 

  
 -5-

	 	(ii)	The Restricted Stock Units shall immediately and irrevocably vest to the Executive upon such termination; 

 

	 	(iii)	All Accrued Compensation; and 

  

	 	(iv)	The Company shall pay the Executive a lump amount cash payment equal to the product of (x) two times (y) the Executive’s Base Salary plus target Annual
Bonus. 

  

	 	(c)	If, prior to the Retention Date, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be terminated by Executive without Good Reason, then the Executive shall be
entitled to each and all of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	All Accrued Compensation; and 

  

	 	(ii)	The Company shall pay the Executive a lump amount cash payment equal to the product of (x) two times (y) the Executive’s Base Salary plus target Annual

	 	(i)	All Accrued Compensation; 

  

	 	(ii)	The Company shall pay the Executive a lump amount cash payment equal to the product of (x) two times (y) the Executive’s Base Salary plus target Annual

	 	(iii)	Any and all earned and unpaid bonus amounts, if any, Restricted Stock Units, and other benefits set forth in Section 6.1(b) above that have not previously been

6.3 Other Severance Benefits. The severance pay and benefits provided for in Section 6.1 shall be in lieu of any other
severance or termination pay to which the Executive may be entitled under any Company severance or termination plan, program, practice or arrangement. The Executive’s entitlement to any other compensation or benefits shall be determined in

 7. Divestiture or Sale of Division. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company in connection with the sale, divestiture or other disposition of a subsidiary or “Division” (as hereinafter defined) (or part thereof)
shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a termination of employment of the Executive for purposes of this Agreement, subject to the condition that, in the event such sale, divestiture or other disposition of a subsidiary or Division, the
Company obtains an express written agreement from such purchaser or acquirer as contemplated in Section 9.3. The Executive shall not be entitled to benefits from the Company under this Agreement solely as a result of such sale, divestiture, or
other disposition, except in the event of a subsequent or concurrent termination of employment entitling Executive to a payment hereunder. “Division” shall mean a business unit or other substantial business operation within the Company
that is operated as a separate profit center, but that is not maintained by the Company as a separate legal entity. 
 8.
Excise Tax Payments. 
 8.1 In the event that the Executive shall become entitled to payment and/or benefits
provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of
ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and
such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to the Executive the greatest of
the following, whichever gives the Executive the highest net after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local and social security taxes at the maximum marginal rates): (1) the Company Payments; or (2) one dollar less than
the amount of the Company Payments that would subject the Executive to the Excise Tax. In the event that the Company Payments are required to be reduced pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then the Company Payments shall be reduced as mutually
agreed between the Company and the Executive or, in the event the parties cannot agree, in the following order: (1) any lump sum severance based on Base Salary or Annual Bonus; (2) any other cash amounts payable to the Executive;
(3) any benefits valued as parachute payments; and (4) acceleration of vesting of any equity. 
 8.2 For
purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (x) the Company Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the
extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected (at the Company’s expense) by
such accountants or the Company (the “Accountants”) such Company Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (y) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit

  
 -7-

 
shall be determined by the Accountants. All determinations hereunder shall be made by the Accountants which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive at
such time as it is requested by the Company or the Executive. If the Accountants determine that payments under this Agreement must be reduced pursuant to this paragraph, they shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion to such effect. The
determination of the Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Executive; provided, however, that prior to any such determination being made, Executive shall be entitled to retain, at the Company’s expense, independent
legal counsel and accountants for the purpose of advising him and conferring with the Accountants with respect to such issues. 

8.3 In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax,
the Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Executive, but the Executive shall control any other issues. In the
event the issues are interrelated, the Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree the Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the
issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany the Executive, and the Executive and the Executive’s
representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative. 
 8.4 In the event that, according to a final
determination pursuant to Section 8.2 above, an Excise Tax will be imposed on any Company Payment or Company Payments, the Company shall pay to the applicable government taxing authorities, as Excise Tax withholding, the amount of the Excise
Tax that the Company has actually withheld from the Company Payment or Company Payments. 
 9. Successors: Binding
Agreement. 
 9.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, and its
successors and assigns, and the Company shall require any successors and assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
or assignment had taken place. 
 9.2 Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or
transferable by the Executive, his beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal representative.

 9.3 In the event that a subsidiary or Division (or part thereof) is (i) sold, (ii) divested, or
(iii) otherwise disposed of by the Company subsequent to or in connection with a Change in Control and in any of such instances, the Executive is offered employment by the purchaser or acquirer thereof, the Company shall require such purchaser
or acquirer to expressly assume, and agree to perform, the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner, and to the same extent, that the Company would be required to perform if no such acquisition or purchase had taken place.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the agreement governing the 

  
 -8-

 
Restricted Stock Units to the contrary, the Company agrees that in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations regarding the Restricted Stock Units (i) in the event a sale, divestiture or
other disposition by the Company as contemplated by this Section 9.3 constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as set forth in
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, then the Executive shall be permitted to elect, at least 15 days prior to the consummation of such transaction, one of the following:
(x) to be paid by the Company the higher of $2,500,000.00 or the then (as of the closing of the transaction) fair market value of the shares of common stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units in a lump sum cash payment within 15 days of the
closing of the transaction or (y) to receive equivalent value (as of the closing) of restricted stock units for the stock of the successor entity, having the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units (including, without
limitation, the same vesting date); or (ii) in the event of a sale, divestiture or other disposition of the Company as contemplated by this Section 9.3 that does not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company
or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as set forth in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, then the Executive shall be permitted to elect, at
least 15 days prior to the consummation of such transaction, one of the following: (x) to continue to hold the Restricted Stock Units; or (y) to receive equivalent value (as of the closing of the transaction) of restricted stock units for
the stock of the successor entity. 
 10. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof, (collectively, a “Claim”) shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the Employment Arbitration Rules of JAMS, before a single arbitrator then affiliated with
JAMS (unless the parties mutually agree to an arbitrator unaffiliated with JAMS). If the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator within thirty (30) days of one party giving the other party written notice of intent to arbitrate a Claim,
the parties shall follow the procedures of JAMS for the appointment of a qualified arbitrator to conduct such arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator in any such arbitration shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Any such arbitration
shall be conducted in San Diego County, California, unless the Executive consents to a different location. Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of its or his counsel in connection with any such arbitration, but the Company shall pay the fees
and expenses of the arbitrator and JAMS (subject to the right of Executive to participate to the extent he may desire in paying any portion of the expenses of the arbitration). 

11. Provisional Relief. If either party commits a breach or is about to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this
Agreement, the other party shall have the right to seek a provisional remedy with respect to a Claim in a court of appropriate jurisdiction and venue, in aid of the resolution of the underlying dispute through arbitration as provided in
Section 10. 
 12. Tax Treatment; Tax Withholding; Section 409A. 

12.1 The Company and the Executive hereby acknowledge and agree that any Retention Bonus payable hereunder and issuance of Company
common stock pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be treated and reported by the Company and the Executive as additional compensation for services rendered and as ordinary income. The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the
Company may withhold from any Retention 

  
 -9-

 
Bonus, any issuance of Company’s common stock pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, or any severance payment such amounts as may be required to satisfy all federal, state and
local withholding and employment tax obligations. 
 12.2 This Agreement is intended to comply with the provisions of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, be construed in accordance therewith. Terms defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given such
terms under Section 409A if and to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any amount payable upon Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be made unless such termination of employment would be considered to be a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. 

12.3 If and to the extent any portion of any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Executive in connection with
Executive’s termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and Executive is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code,
as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determination Executive hereby agrees that Executive is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months
plus one day after the date of separation from service (as determined under Section 409A (the “New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A may then permit. The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid
to Executive during the period between the date of separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule. 

13. General Provisions. 
 13.1 No Special Employment Rights. No provision of this Agreement shall grant or confer upon, or shall be construed to grant or confer upon, the Executive any right with respect to the
continuation of his employment by the Company or to otherwise affect in any respect the terms and conditions of such employment except to the extent expressly provided hereunder. 

13.2 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the
Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Executive from any losses, damages and expenses arising from his service as an officer of the Company. To the extent the Company maintains Directors and Officers insurance coverage at any

others, (a) either in the course of performing work for Company or at Company’s expense, or (b) that results from tasks assigned to me by Company, or (c) whose creation ordinarily would be associated with my then current
responsibilities as an employee of the Company. If I am identified as an inventor in any application for any United States or foreign patent where the Invention (i) is claimed to have been made, conceived, or reduced to practice during the

secrets, copyrights, and trademarks, and that, as part of my employment, I am expected to contribute to the Company by creating and protecting those rights. I understand that the Company’s competitive position depends on its ability to develop,
utilize, and keep control over those intellectual property rights, and I will develop and protect those rights as provided below, or as otherwise reasonably requested in writing.

for the benefit of myself or any other person. During my employment by Company I will comply with its then-current procedures for the protection of Trade Secrets and Trade Secret Material. In the event of any inconsistency between those procedures
and the requirements of this Agreement, the more stringent procedures or requirements will apply.

during my employment by the Company and afterward, I will keep in confidence and will not disclose or transfer any Confidential Information to any person other than an employee of Company, except as authorized by the Company, or to the extent such

prior to my employment by Employer, that are not described in a publication or patent application in existence on the Effective Date of this Agreement, and that I want to exclude from the effect of this Agreement. If no such list is attached to this
Agreement, I represent that I will have no such Inventions as of the Effective Date.

conceived, or first reduced to practice by others performing services for Employer.

requested. 
 (b) I will use reasonable efforts to avoid including in any work of authorship I produce within the scope of my
employment any material that then is created by, or on behalf of, any person other than the Company. I will inform the Company of any material created by or on behalf of any other person that I recommend be included in a work of authorship.

	12.	Full Time and Best Efforts. 

 I will devote my full time during the time I am expected to work, and my best efforts, to Company’s business to the exclusion of all other business activities; provided, however, that it shall not be
a violation of my full time / best efforts obligation for me to serve (i) on the Board of Directors of one other public company (subject to the Company’s reasonable approval), and (ii) on the Board of Directors of any appropriate
non-profit organizations and industry-related trade associations. In addition, while I am employed by the Company, I will not, directly or indirectly, either by myself or in conjunction with others, be engaged or interested in, or affiliated with,

subsidiaries or affiliates (other than my personal assistant) to terminate his/her employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. 
  

	14.	Enforcement. 

 I
acknowledge that my employment by Company imposes on me a duty to act solely for the benefit of Company. I further acknowledge that should I breach my duty of loyalty to the Company, the Company is entitled to pursue all legal and equitable remedies
available to it, subject in all instances to the arbitration provisions set forth in Sections 10 and 11 of the Retention and Severance Agreement to which this document is an Exhibit incorporated by reference.

 6. 280G. 

(a) In the event that the Executive shall become entitled to payment and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in
the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to
the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to the Executive the greatest of the following, whichever gives the
Executive the highest net after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local and social security taxes at the maximum marginal rates): (1) the Company Payments; or (2) one dollar less than the amount of the Company Payments
that would subject the Executive to the Excise Tax. In the event that the Company Payments are required to be reduced pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then the Company Payments shall be reduced as mutually agreed between the Company and the
Executive or, in the event the parties cannot agree, in the following order: (1) any lump sum severance based on Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus; (2) any other cash amounts payable to the Executive; (3) any benefits valued as
parachute payments; and (4) acceleration of vesting of any equity. 
 (b) For purposes of determining whether any of the
Company Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (x) the Company Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute
payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent
certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected (at the Company’s expense) by such accountants or the Company (the “Accountants”)
such Company Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the
“base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (y) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants. All determinations hereunder shall be made by the
Accountants which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive at such time as it is requested by the Company or the Executive. If the Accountants determine that payments under this Agreement must be reduced
pursuant to this paragraph, they shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion to such effect. The determination of the Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Executive; provided, however, that prior to any such
determination being made, Executive shall be entitled to retain, at the Company’s expense, independent legal counsel and accountants for the purpose of advising him and confirming with the Accountants with respect to such issues. 

  
 -7-

 (c) In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing
authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, the Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Executive, but the Executive
shall control any other issues. In the event the issues are interrelated, the Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree the Executive shall make the
final determination with regard to the issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany the Executive, and the
Executive and the Executive’s representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative. 

7. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period commencing on August 1, 2012 and ending
on November 1, 2013; provided, that, commencing on November 2, 2013 and each November 1st thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for an additional year unless, not later than thirty (30) days prior to such November 1, the Company shall have given
notice that it does not wish to extend this Agreement; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any such notice by the Company not to extend, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of eighteen (18) months beyond the term
provided herein if a Change in Control shall have occurred during such term. 
 8. Acknowledgment and Confirmation of
Intellectual Property Rights Agreement. The Executive hereby acknowledges and confirms the obligations of the Executive to the Company under the Intellectual Property Rights and Non-Solicitation Agreement and that such acknowledgment and
confirmation is given by the Executive as further consideration for the covenants and agreements of the Company hereunder. 
 9.
409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, be construed in accordance
therewith. Terms defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms under Section 409A if and to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any
amount payable upon Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall not be made unless such termination of employment would be considered to be a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of
Section 409A. 
 10. 409A Delayed Payments. If and to the extent any portion of any payment, compensation or other
benefit provided to the Executive in connection with Executive’s termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and Executive is a specified employee
as defined in Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determination Executive hereby agrees that Executive is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit
shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of separation from service (as determined under Section 409A (the “New 

  
 -8-

 
Payment Date”), except as Section 409A may then permit. The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to Executive during the period between the date of separation
from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule.

Agreement/Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Company and the Executive with respect to the rights and other benefits that the Executive shall be entitled during the Change of Control Period; provided, however,
that the Retention and Severance Agreement, Employee Intellectual Property Rights and Non-Solicitation Agreement, option agreement or other employment agreement by and between the Company and Executive shall remain in full force and effect. This
Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the

the Executive shall terminate employment with the Company other than for Good Reason, the Executive shall have no liability to the Company. 
 (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
