    D.           WHEREAS,
in an unrelated matter, BCM become the judgment creditor of  amongst
others, AGCP, by virtue of a judgment (the “BCM First Judgment”),
dated on November 19, 2008, rendered in favor of BCM against ZAM, AGCP and
Milton “Todd” Ault, III, in the action known as BODNAR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT,
LLC v. AULT GLAZER CAPITAL PARTNERS LLC, ZEALOUS ASSET MANAGEMENT, LLC and
MILTON “TODD” AULT, III, Civ. No: 3:08-CV-00199 (JBA) filed in the United
States District Court of Connecticut ("BCM First Action"), in the amount of
$350,000, which, after interest and attorneys fees assessed at the time of
entry, resulted in a total judgment as entered of $371,885.96 (the “BCM First Judgment
Amount”).

    

    E.           
The BCM First Judgment Amount continues to accrue interest until satisfied and
is subject to increase to account for BCM's attorneys' fees incurred in
collection.

     

    F.           
WHEREAS, BCM procured a Writ of Execution from the United States District Court,
Central District of California, Case No. CV-09-00144 ABC-(JCx) (the “Writ”) instructing
the United States Marshals Service, as levying officer, pursuant to a Notice of
Levy served on PST on October 26, 2010 (the “Levy”) to levy upon
PST “all stock of Patient Safety Technologies owed to the judgment debtor
[AGCP]” in order to satisfy an amount equal to the BCM First Judgment Amount
plus a levy fee
of $45.00 plus
daily interest of $101.88 (including all daily interest through the Effective
Date (as defined below), the “Total BCM First Judgment
Amount”).

     

    G.           
WHEREAS, there is a case currently pending before the Superior Court of
California, County of Orange, Central Justice Center, entitled “Zealous Asset Management, LLC v.
Patient Safety Technologies, et. al”, Case No. 00424948 (the “Action”) concerning,
among other things, the Amendment Agreement and the Advancement, as well as
2,600 shares of PST’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A
Preferred”).

     

    H.           
WHEREAS, subject to and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, BCM and the
Zealous/Ault Parties wish to have the Total BCM First Judgment Amount satisfied
by the issuance and delivery to BCM of the Shares that PST conditionally owes to
AGCP, and PST is willing to issue and deliver such Shares to BCM and provide
other consideration to AGCP in consideration of receiving a dismissal and
release of the Action (Causes of action 3 through 10 of the Action) and its
underlying claims and certain other covenants and agreements
herein.

     

    I.             WHEREAS,
PST and BCM deny ZAM’s allegations in the Action and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed as an admission by any party of any liability of
any kind to any other party or any other person.

     

    J.            
WHEREAS, although some of the Zealous/Ault Parties might have ceased to exist
under applicable state law, lack good standing or owe taxes in order to be
reinstated (the “Suspended Zealous
Entities”), the other Zealous/Ault Parties (the “Non-Suspended Zealous/Ault
Parties”) intend to assume responsibility for any such Suspended Zealous
Entity’s obligations hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
with the goal of making this Agreement effective and binding to the maximum
possible extent.

    K.           
WHEREAS, the Parties hereto agree and acknowledge that because it may be
difficult to know for certain whether each and every claim being released herein
is owned by each and every party purporting to release such claim, it is
therefore a material inducement to each of them to entering this Agreement that
the releases and covenants herein be granted by all of the Parties signatories
hereto, and each Party hereto agrees that it benefits directly and indirectly
from the structure of this Agreement and the parties and claims affected
hereby.

     

    NOW
THEREFORE, the Parties adopt the foregoing Recitals as a statement of their
intent and, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth
below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to the
following:

     

    1.           
Effective
Date.  Upon execution of this Agreement by all Parties hereto,
this Agreement shall become effective on the date of the Agreement recited above
(the “Effective
Date”); provided, however, as
provided in Section 3.1.1 and Section 3.2.1 below, certain provisions of this
Agreement shall only become legally binding upon performance of conditions
specified herein.

     

    2.           
Stock and Cash
Consideration and Delivery.

     

    2.1         Within
ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, PST shall issue the Shares to
BCM, in the name and to the address, and with the shareholder information set
forth on Schedule 1
hereto.  BCM shall promptly acknowledge in writing receipt of the
certificate representing the Shares to the other Parties.  BCM
understands that the certificate representing the Shares are, under the SEC’s
Regulation D, considered “restricted securities” and shall bear a restrictive
legend in the form of Schedule
2 hereto.  PST at its sole cost and expense, will be required
to cooperate and assist BCM, to a commercially reasonable extent, with BCM's
efforts to remove the restrictions and any restrictive legend (the “Legend”)
from the Shares, such that they are freely tradable after complying with
applicable law regarding restricted stock transfers.  PST will be
required to so act within 10 days of each request by BCM in its efforts to
remove the restrictions and the Legend from the Shares, which would include for
example only and without limitation, executing and/or countersigning any
documents or Schedules reasonably required by BCM in its sole discretion in
connection with BCM's efforts to remove the restrictions and the Legend from the
Shares, such as for example only, signing a form sent to PST by or on behalf of
BCM and PST returning it to BCM within 10 days of PST's receipt thereof from BCM
or its representatives or providing legal opinions to its transfer agent in
compliance with any applicable SEC rules or regulations for purposes of removing
the Legends or instructing PST's transfer agent to remove the
Legend.  Notwithstanding anything in the paragraph to the contrary,
BCM shall also reasonably cooperate with PST and provide customary paperwork to
PST in connection with a proposed transfer, and PST shall not be required to do
more than what is customarily done by public companies in connection with a
request to transfer restricted stock.

    
      
        Settlement
Agreement, dated December 27, 2010

    Further, in connection with a proposed
sale of the Shares, PST will promptly, i.e, within 10 days of being requested by
BCM,  instruct its transfer agent to re-issue the Shares without any
restrictive legend or the Legend, including, if necessary, procuring a customary
legal opinion to the transfer agent upon the following being satisfied: (i) PST
has received a representation letter from BCM that it has held and owned the
Shares (and has not hedged such ownership) for at least 6 months
after  PST delivers the Shares to BCM, and that BCM is not an
affiliate of PST (and has not been an affiliate of PST in the 3 months before
the date of the proposed sale) and (ii) adequate current public information
about PST is available.  "Affiliate" and  "current public
information" being defined within the meaning of applicable law.  If
applicable law or any of the facts and conditions contemplated in this paragraph
change between now and the date of BCM's proposed sale, then PST, at its sole
cost and expense will cooperate and assist BCM, to a commercially reasonable
extent, to take all necessary action (subject to the last sentence of the
preceding paragraph and compliance with applicable law regarding restricted
stock transfers) for removal of the restrictive Legend from the
Shares."  PST and BCM agree that the applicable 6 month holding period
commences on the date that PST sends to the shares to BCM.

     

    2.2         Upon
receipt of the Shares by BCM, BCM shall acknowledge satisfaction of the BCM
First Judgment described in paragraph D above and execute and deliver to AGCP
and the other defendants named in the BCM First Action, a Satisfaction of
Judgment in the usual form under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.

     

    2.3         Within
ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, PST shall pay Pacific Premier
Law Group (“PPLG”), counsel for
AGCP and the Zealous/Ault Parties, entirely for the account and benefit of AGCP
in payment of amounts AGCP owes to PPLG, the total sum of sixteen thousand
dollars ($16,000) (the “Cash”) by causing
said amount to be wired to the account set forth on Schedule 3
hereto.  AGCP and PPLG shall promptly acknowledge receipt of such
funds to the other Parties.

     

    3.            Effectiveness of Releases;
Dismissal of Causes of Actions.  As further provided below,
certain releases and agreements provided for herein will become effective, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions, in connection with Causes of Action 3
through 10 of the Action, inclusive (the “Note Causes of
Action”) and certain other releases and agreement provided for herein
will become effective, upon satisfaction of certain other conditions, in
connection with Causes of Action 1 and 2 of the Action (the “Series A Causes of
Action”), as follows:

     

    3.1         Note Causes of Action;
Delivery of Shares and Cash.

     

    3.1.1         At the
moment that PST has delivered the Shares to BCM pursuant to Section 2.1 and the
Cash to PPLG pursuant to Section 2.2 (the “Note Conditions”),
all of the releases and agreements this Agreement that are identified as
becoming effective “upon satisfaction of the Note Conditions” (or comparable
terminology) shall become effective, valid, binding, enforceable and
non-revocable, even if the Court (as defined below) rejects the stipulations or
orders of dismissal contemplated hereby.

     

    3.1.2         To
further perfect the effectiveness of such releases and agreements, but not as a
condition to the effectiveness thereof, within two (2) business days of ZAM
receiving the Cash and receiving written or email confirmation from or on behalf
of by BCM of its receipt of the certificates representing the Shares, ZAM shall
file a notice of dismissal with the Court in which the Action was filed (the
“Action
Court”): (i) with prejudice, of
PST as to the Note Causes of Action, (ii) without prejudice, of
Louis Glazer and Melanie Glazer, as to Causes of Action 8, 9 and 10 of the
Action, and (iii) with prejudice, of
Steven Bodnar as to Cause of Action 10 of the Action, in each case, without
costs or attorneys’ fees.  ZAM shall take any and all other reasonably
necessary actions to cause the dismissal of the Note Causes of Action to be
entered by the Action Court.

    
      
        Settlement
Agreement, dated December 27, 2010

    3.1.3         Regardless
of any failure, breach or default in connection with the Series A Causes of
Action or the Interpleader/Agreement Condition or any release or agreement
related thereto, the releases, covenants and agreements that are identified as
becoming effective “upon satisfaction of the Note Conditions” (or comparable
terminology) shall remain valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with
their terms and conditions and shall not be affected in any way
whatsoever.

     

    3.2         Series A Causes of Action;
Interpleader/Agreement.

     

    3.2.1         At the
moment that either (i) PST files
an Interpleader action with the Los Angeles County Superior Court (the “Interpleader Court”)
within 30 days after the Effective Date (provided, if the
Interpleader Court dismisses or otherwise objects to such action, then an
additional 30 days shall be added in which PST may seek to amend the action to
address the court’s objections or concerns), interpleading with the Interpleader
Court $9,100.00 (currently due) and any other dividends that may become due
prior to filing with the Interpleader Court (the “Interplead Property”)
representing the dividends on 2,600 shares of Series A Preferred allegedly owned
by Zealous Partners, LLC (“ZP”) (pursuant to an
allegedly proper assignment from Zealous Income Partners, LLC) for the quarters
ended June 30, 2010 and the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and naming ZP and
Louis Glazer and such affiliates and related parties as PST deems appropriate as
nominal defendants in such Interpleader action, or (ii) ZP and Louis
Glazer reach written agreement after the date hereof regarding the disposition
of the Series A Preferred and the dividends thereon (an “Ault—Glazer
Agreement”) (clauses (i) or (ii) being referred to as the “Interpleader/ Agreement
Condition”), all of the releases and agreements this Agreement that are
identified as becoming effective “upon satisfaction of the
Interpleader/Agreement Condition” (or comparable terminology) shall become
effective, valid, binding, enforceable and non-revocable. PST shall at all times
reserve the right to interplead the Interplead Property with the Interpleader
Court even if any other Party or Person wishes to pursue, or is pursuing, an
Ault—Glazer Agreement, with the effects and consequences described
herein.

     

    3.2.2         To
further perfect the effectiveness of such releases and covenants not to sue, but
not as a condition to the effectiveness thereof, within two (2) business days
either of ZAM
receiving a copy of the Interpleader Action filed stamped by the Interpleader
Court, receiving a copy of an Ault—Glazer Agreement, ZAM shall file a
stipulation of dismissal with prejudice of PST as to the Series A Causes of
Action, without costs or attorneys’ fees.  ZAM shall take any and all
other reasonably necessary actions to cause the dismissal to be entered by the
Action Court.  If PST fails to comply with any part of this Section
3.2 the sole consequences are that neither the stipulation of dismissal with
prejudice of PST as to the Series A Causes of Action nor the release and
covenant not to sue with respect to such Series A Causes of Action will become
effective but PST shall not be liable for any damages and all other releases,
covenants not to sue and provisions of this Agreement shall remain valid,
binding and effective in accordance with their terms.

    3.2.3         During
the 30 (or, as applicable under Section 3.2.1, 60) days in which PST is
permitted to interplead the Interplead Property, ZAM shall forebear from any and
all action in connection with the Series A Causes of Action.   If
for any reason the court in the Interpleader Action refuses to accept the case
or the Interplead Property and an Ault—Glazer Agreement has not been reached
during that same period, the Zealous/Ault Parties shall reasonably cooperate
with PST to find an alternative court, or comparable arrangement (including
involving an escrow agent) to substantially approximate the result of the
intended Interpleader Action (an “Alternate
Arrangement”), in which case the consummation of such Alternate
Arrangement shall have the same effect as satisfaction of the
Interpleader/Agreement Condition.

     

    4.           Agreements and
Acknowledgments Regarding the Consideration.

     

    4.1         Irrevocably
and automatically upon satisfaction of the Note Conditions:

     

    4.1.1         Each
Zealous/Ault Party (including, without limitation, AGCP), agrees that the
delivery of the Shares to BCM pursuant to this Agreement (i) is pursuant to its
request and is a direct material benefit to AGCP in that it constitutes a
payment to its judgment creditor, BCM and has induced BCM to enter this
Agreement which benefits AGCP, and (ii) constitutes a complete
and  irrevocable discharge and extinguishment and repayment in full of
the Note, the Amendment of Note (including the Security Agreement and Guaranty
of Payment referenced therein), the Advancement Agreement (including all
amendments or course of performance related thereto, the “Note Documents”), all
indebtedness represented thereby (including, without limitation, principal,
interest, fees (including attorneys fees and costs of collection), default
penalties, accrued amounts, damages, conversion rights, lost opportunities and
every other kind of consideration, compensation or value (“Indebtedness”))
including any Indebtedness due, owing, allegedly due or owing, arising out of,
in connection with, related to or under, including for any breach or default,
actual or alleged, under the Note Documents, and fully satisfies and terminates
all obligations and conversion privileges arising under the Note Documents, and
that PST has no obligation to issue any Zealous/Ault Party any shares of capital
stock under the Note Documents or otherwise, such obligations being fully
discharged;

     

    4.1.2         (i)
Each of the Note Documents shall terminate and be of no further force or affect
and no party thereto shall have any further liability to the other thereunder
(except that Section 3.4 of the Amendment of Note shall remain in effect), (ii)
AGCP shall, and shall be deemed to have, fully and unconditionally released
every security interest created by that certain Security Agreement referenced in
the Amendment of Note, and shall terminate, and shall be deemed to have
terminated, every other lien, security interest, charge, encumbrance and pledge
(“Liens”) on or
affecting the assets, business or stock of PST and its subsidiaries, and shall
promptly file (and hereby authorizes PST to file) termination statements under
the Uniform Commercial Code (or equivalent law) in every applicable state and
jurisdiction evidencing the termination of all such Liens and (iii) the Guaranty
of Payment executed by SurgiCount Medical, Inc. referenced in the Amendment of
Note is terminated, released and is of no further force and effect, with no
liability to PST or SurgiCount Medical thereunder.

     

    4.2         Irrevocably
and automatically upon satisfaction of the Note Conditions, BCM agrees that the
delivery of the Shares to BCM pursuant to this Agreement (i) is a direct
material benefit to BCM and (ii) constitutes complete and irrevocable discharge
and extinguishment and satisfaction in full of the BCM First Judgment against
all defendants named in the BCM First Action and the First BCM Total Judgment
Amount, including any amounts owing on account of any failure of AGCP to have
paid the BCM Total Judgment Amount.

    4.3         Irrevocably
and automatically upon satisfaction of the Note Conditions, BCM agrees that the
delivery of the Shares to BCM pursuant to this Agreement fully satisfies the
Levy and Writ and the entirety of PST’s obligations thereunder; the Levy and
Writ will be deemed withdrawn (and will notify the U.S. Marshall to that
effect)  and BCM agrees not to  seek new levies or writs, or
take any other legal action, against PST in connection with the Shares; and BCM
agrees that PST has no obligations to BCM in connection with the Note
Documents.

     

    4.4         Irrevocably
and automatically upon satisfaction of the Interpleader/Agreement
Condition:

     

    4.4.1         The
Zealous/Ault Parties agree that PST is not, as of the Effective Date, in arrears
with respect to more than 6 quarters of dividends on its Series A Preferred
Stock and will not claim otherwise.

     

    4.4.2         The
Zealous/Ault parties agree that each time that PST pays a dividend or other
distribution or redemption amount on or with respect to the Series A Preferred
Stock after the Effective Date  (“Future Amounts”), it
may do so to the Interpleader Court, and all such interplead Future Amounts
shall be deemed covered by the releases and covenants not sue as if they were
the Interplead Property and shall not be deemed in arrears (and if PST for any
reason fails to pay such Future Amounts to such court, then the sole consequence
is that such Future Amounts shall be excluded from the releases and covenants
not sue herein, but any amounts already paid to such court shall remain covered
by the same and no other releases or covenants not to sue shall be impaired or
affected).  In addition, the Zealous/Ault Parties agree not to hold
PST accountable if they disagree with the judgment of the court in the
Interpleader Action, and shall look solely to other parties for recourse, if
any, they may have in connection with the outcome of the Interpleader
Action.

     

    5.           Releases; Covenants Not to
Sue.

     

    5.1.1      Releases of
PST.  Irrevocably and automatically upon satisfaction of the
Note Conditions (solely as to sub-paragraph (i) of this Section 5.1, and
irrevocably and automatically upon satisfaction of the Interpleader/Agreement
Condition (solely as to sub-paragraph (ii) of this Section 5.1), the
Zealous/Ault Parties, on behalf of themselves and their Related Parties (as
defined in Section 5.5) (collectively (and for added emphasis, each and every
instance of this defined term includes, without limitation, Milton “Todd” Ault
III , AGCP and CoreStream), the “Zealous/Ault Releasing
Parties”), hereby release, absolve, and forever discharge PST, and each
of its Related Parties (the “PST Released
Parties”) from any and all Claims (as defined in Section 5.5) which the
Zealous/Ault Releasing Parties, and each of them, now have, owns, or holds, or
at any time heretofore had, owned, or held, or could or shall or may hereafter
have, own, or hold based upon, related to, or by any reason of any manner,
cause, fact, act or omission occurring or arising (i) before and through the
date hereof or, if later, the date the Note Conditions are satisfied, relating
to or arising out of the Note Causes of Action or which could have been asserted
in the Note Causes of Action (or without limitation, claims of fraud or fraud in
the inducement relating to any matter including the entry into this Agreement),
together with any other matter, incident, circumstance, contract, breach, error
or omission by on behalf of PST or the PST Released Parties whether or not
related to the Action (except for the Series A Causes of Action) and (ii)
heretofore or, if later, the date the Interpleader/Agreement Condition is
satisfied, relating to or arising out of the Series A Causes of Action or which
could have been asserted in the Series A Causes of Action, together with any
other matter, incident, circumstance, contract, breach, error or omission by on
behalf of PST or the PST Released Parties in connection with the Series A Stock
or the Interplead Property. To the extent (but only to the extent) that the
release by Milton "Todd" Ault, III of any Claim contained in this paragraph
would be legally invalid unless approved by the bankruptcy court currently
presiding over the pending bankruptcy case of Milton "Todd" Ault (a "Section 5.1.1 Barred
Claim"), then the release in this paragraph shall not operate to release
such Section 5.1.1 Barred Claim unless and until such court approval is
obtained; provided, however, that whether
or not such court approval is obtained, Milton "Todd" Ault, III represents and
warrants that he does not have any Claim that would be released by this
paragraph or that would be a Section 5.1.1 Barred Claim.  Further, in
the event that any court finds that Milton "Todd" Ault III does not have the
power to release the claims herein and/or invalidates his release, any release
by the other parties hereto of any claim or claims against Milton Todd Ault, III
will be deemed to be null and void and/or withdrawn.

Zealous/Ault Releasing Parties in this Section 5.1.  The releases in
Section 5.1.1(i) and 5.1.1(ii) and the related covenants not to sue are

executions, claims, and demands whatsoever in any manner and/or in any form,
including in law, admiralty or equity, which the Zealous/Ault Releasing Parties
and/or the Zealous/Ault Releasing Parties' heirs, executors, successors,
subsidiaries, affiliates, parents, predecessors and assigns ever had, now have
or hereafter can, shall or may have, or by reason of any matter, cause or thing
whatsoever from the beginning of the world to the day of the date of this
Agreement, including without limitation, any claims or causes of action related
to the facts or actions alleged in Cause of Action 10 in the Action or which
could have been asserted in the in the Action or without limitation, claims of
fraud or fraud in the inducement relating to any matter including the entry into
this Agreement. To
the extent (but only to the extent) that the release by Milton "Todd" Ault, III
of any Claim contained in this paragraph would be legally invalid unless
approved by the bankruptcy court currently presiding over the pending bankruptcy
case of Milton "Todd" Ault (a "Section 5.2.1 Barred
Claim"), then the release in this paragraph shall not operate to release
such Section 5.2.1 Barred Claim unless and until such court approval is
obtained; provided, however, that whether
or not such court approval is obtained, Milton "Todd" Ault, III represents and
warrants that he does not have any Claim that would be released by this
paragraph or that would be a Section 5.2.1 Barred Claim.  Further, in
the event that any court finds that Milton "Todd" Ault III does not have the
power to release the claims herein and/or invalidates his release, any release
by the other parties hereto of any claim or claims against Milton Todd Ault, III
will be deemed to be null and void and/or withdrawn.1

     

    
      
        

      

    

    1 All
Parties acknowledge that the release in this Section 5.2 is worded differently
than the other releases solely as a result of separate negotiations between BCM
and the Zealous/Ault Parties, and the difference is not intended to imply
anything with respect to such other releases.

    11.         General
Provisions.

     

    11.1       Indemnification; Liquidated
Damages.  Without in any way limiting any of the rights and
remedies otherwise available to any of the any of the Applicable Released
Parties hereunder, the Applicable Party (as defined in Section 5) shall
indemnify and hold harmless each of its Applicable Released Parties (as defined
in Section 5) from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’
fees) whether or not involving third party claims, arising directly or
indirectly from or in connection with (a) the assertion by or on behalf of the
Applicable Releasing Parties (as defined in Section 5) of any claim or other
matter purported to be released pursuant to Section 5 by the Applicable Party
and/or (b) the assertion by any third party of any claim or demand against any
of the Applicable Released Parties which claim or demand arises directly or
indirectly from, or in connection with, any assertion by or on behalf of the
Applicable Releasing Parties against such third party of any claims or other
matters purported to be released pursuant to Section 5 by the Applicable Party;
provided,
however, solely in connection with a violation of a covenant not to sue
in Section 5, the breaching Party and the aggrieve Party agree that, (i) for
each violation of such covenant by the breaching Party, the breaching Party
shall pay the aggrieved party, as liquidated damages, and not as penalty,
$100,000, plus all attorneys fees and expenses of the aggrieved party in
connection with enforcing the covenant not to sue, and that (ii) these
liquidated damages are reasonable in amount and appropriate in connection with
the covenants not to sue in this Section 5 because damages will be extremely
difficult to calculate in the event of a breach of said covenants and that (iii)
the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 11.1 are the only monetary remedy for
breach of the covenants not to sue in Section 5, but do not in any way limit any
non-monetary remedy (such as injunction) that are available for breach of the
covenants not to sue, and do not in any way limit or apply to any other breach
of Section 5 (such as in respect to the releases) or any other term, condition
or provision of this Agreement.

this Section 11.3 to the Zealous/Ault Parties and the Zealous/Ault Releasing

      (a)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Incentive Plans or any award agreement, upon a
Change of Control, all of Executive’s outstanding unvested equity-based awards
(including, but not limited to, restricted stock and restricted stock units)
granted pursuant to the Incentive Plans, shall vest and become immediately
exercisable and unrestricted, without any action by the Board or any committee
thereof.

      (b)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 6, if, within
one (1) year following a Change of Control, the Company terminates Executive’s

accrued but unpaid wages through the termination date, based on Executive’s then
current Base Salary;

       

      (ii)          a
separation payment equal to two times (2x) the sum of (A) Executive’s then
current Base Salary, and (B) Executive’s average Bonus for the two (2) year
period prior to the Change of Control, which separation payment shall be
paid  in a lump sum as provided below;

       

      (iii)         a
payment for all earned and accrued but unpaid bonuses;

       

      (iv)       
a payment for all approved, but unreimbursed, business expenses, provided that a
request for reimbursement of business expenses is submitted in accordance with
the Company’s policies and submitted within five (5) business days of
Executive’s termination date; and

       

      (v)          a
transition lump sum severance payment of $10,000.

       

      (c)          The
payments and benefits set forth in this Section 7 shall be
provided to Executive in lieu of any benefits to which Executive may be entitled
to receive under Section 6(b)
above and shall be
paid or commence on the Company’s first regularly scheduled payroll period
occurring immediately following the expiration of the Severance Delay Period,
provided, however, that Executive’s right to receive the separation payments and
benefits set forth in this Section 7 shall be
subject to the Separation Conditions set forth in Section 6(c)
above.  The separation payments and benefits set forth in this Section 7 shall
constitute full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement,
any Company policy or otherwise.

      

      8.      Executive’s Post-Termination
Obligations.

      

      (a)          Return of
Materials.  Upon the termination of Executive’s employment for
any reason, Executive shall return to the Company all of the Company’s property,
including, but not limited to, keys, passcards, credit cards, customer lists,
rolodexes, tapes, software, computer files, marketing and sales materials and
any other property, record, document or piece of equipment belonging to the
Company.

      

      (b)          Set-Off.  If
Executive has any outstanding obligations to the Company upon the termination of
Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive hereby authorizes the Company
to deduct any amounts owed to the Company from Executive’s final paycheck and/or
any amounts that would otherwise be due to Executive, including under Section 6 or Section 7 above, but
only to the extent such set-off is made in accordance with Treasury Regulation
1.409A-3(j)(4)(xiii).  No other set-off shall be permitted under this
Agreement.

      

      (c)          Non-Disparagement.
During Executive’s employment and upon the termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company for any reason, Executive shall not make any disparaging or
defamatory statements, whether written or verbal, regarding the
Company.

      (d)          Restrictive
Covenants. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this
Section 8 are
reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the
Company and will not impair or infringe upon Executive’s right to work or earn a
living after Executive’s employment with the Company terminates.

      

      (e)          Trade Secrets and
Confidential Information.

      

      (i)           Executive
represents and warrants that Executive (A) is not subject to any legal or
contractual duty or agreement that would prevent or prohibit Executive from
performing the duties contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise complying with
this Agreement, and (B) is not in breach of any legal or contractual duty or
agreement, including any agreement concerning trade secrets or confidential
information owned by any other party.

      

      (ii)          Executive
agrees that Executive will not (A) use, disclose or reverse engineer Trade
Secrets or Confidential Information for any purpose other than the Company’s
Business, except as authorized in writing by the Company; (B) during Executive’s
employment with the Company, use, disclose or reverse engineer (1) any
confidential information or trade secrets of any former employer or third party
or (2) any works of authorship developed in whole or in part by Executive during
any former employment or for any other party, unless authorized in writing by
the former employer or third party; or (C) upon Executive’s resignation or
termination with the Company (1) retain Trade Secrets or Confidential
Information, including any copies existing in any form (including electronic
form), which are in Executive’s possession or control or (2) destroy, delete or
alter Trade Secrets or Confidential Information without the Company’s prior
written consent.

      

      (iii)         The
obligations under this Section 8 shall
remain in effect as long as Trade Secrets and Confidential Information
constitute trade secrets or confidential information under applicable
law.  The confidentiality, property and proprietary rights protections
available in this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any and
all other rights to which the Company is entitled under federal and state law,
including, but not limited to, rights provided under copyright laws, trade
secret and confidential information laws and laws concerning fiduciary
duties.

      

      (f)          Non-Competition.  During
the Restricted Period, Executive agrees that Executive shall not perform
services which are substantially similar and/or equivalent to the Duties,
individually or on behalf of any person, firm, partnership, association,
business organization, corporation or entity engaged in the Business within the
Territory.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that (i) the periods of
restriction and Territory of restriction contained in this Agreement are fair
and reasonable in that they are reasonably required for the protection of the
Company and that the Territory is the area in which Executive performs services
for the Company and (ii) by having access to information concerning Employees
and actual or prospective Customers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
Executive shall obtain a competitive advantage as to the Company.

      

      (g)          Non-Solicitation of
Customers.  During the Restricted Period, Executive will not,
directly or indirectly, solicit any Customer of the Company for the purpose of
providing any goods or services competitive with the Business within the
Territory.  The restrictions set forth in this Section 8(g) apply
only to the Customers with whom Executive had Contact.

      

      (h)          Non-Recruitment of
Employees.  During the Restricted Period, Executive will not,
directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit or induce any Employee to (i) terminate
his or her employment relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or (ii) work for any other person or entity engaged in the
Business.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            10

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      (i)           Post-Employment
Disclosure.  During the Restricted Period, Executive shall
provide a copy of this Agreement to persons and/or entities for whom Executive
works or consults as an owner, partner, joint venturer, employee or independent
contractor.  If, during the Restricted Period, Executive works or
consults for another person or entity as an owner, partner, joint venturer,
employee or independent contractor, Executive shall provide the Company with
such person or entity’s name, the nature of such person or entity’s business,
Executive’s job title and a general description of the services Executive will
provide.

      

      (j)           Resignation.  Upon
the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason and
upon the request of the Company, Executive shall deliver to the Company a
written resignation from all offices, membership on the Board and fiduciary
positions in which Executive serves for the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
and Affiliates.

      

      9.    
     Work
Product.  Executive’s employment duties may include creating,
developing and/or inventing in areas directly or indirectly related to the
Business of the Company or to a line of business that the Company may reasonably
be interested in pursuing.  If ownership of all right, title and
interest to the legal rights in and to the Work Product will not vest
exclusively in the Company, then, without further consideration, Executive
assigns all presently-existing Work Product to the Company and agrees to assign,
and automatically assigns, all future Work Product to the
Company.  The Company will have the right to obtain, and hold in its
own name, copyrights, patents, design registrations, proprietary database
rights, trademarks, rights of publicity and any other protection available in
the Work Product. At the Company’s request, Executive agrees to perform, during
or after Executive’s employment with the Company, any acts to transfer, perfect
and defend the Company’s ownership of the Work Product, including, but not
limited to (a) executing all documents (including a formal assignment to
the Company) necessary for filing an application or registration for protection
of the Work Product (an “Application”);
(b) explaining the nature of the Work Product to persons designated by the
Company; (c) reviewing Applications and other related papers; or (d)
providing any other assistance reasonably required for the orderly prosecution
of Applications.  Executive agrees to provide the Company with a
written description of any Work Product in which Executive is involved (solely
or jointly with others) and the circumstances attendant to the creation of such
Work Product.

      

      10.         License.  During
Executive’s employment and after Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates, Executive grants to the Company an irrevocable, nonexclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license to (a) make, use, sell, copy, perform, display,
distribute or otherwise utilize copies of the Licensed Materials; (b) prepare,
use and distribute derivative works based upon the Licensed Materials; and (c)
authorize others to do the same.  Executive shall notify the Company
in writing of any Licensed Materials Executive delivers to the
Company.

      

      11.         Release.  During
Executive’s employment and after Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates, Executive consents to the Company’s use of Executive’s image,
likeness, voice or other characteristics in the Company’s products or
services.  Executive releases the Company from any causes of action
that Executive has or may have arising out of the use, distribution, adaptation,
reproduction, broadcast or exhibition of such characteristics.

      

      12.         Injunctive
Relief.  Executive agrees that, if Executive breaches Section 8 of this
Agreement, (a) the Company would suffer irreparable harm; (b) damages would be
difficult to determine, and money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy
for the injuries suffered by the Company; and (c) if the Company seeks
injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement, Executive hereby waives and will
not (i) assert any defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law with
respect to the breach; (ii) require that the Company submit proof of the
economic value of any Trade Secret or Confidential Information; or (iii) require
the Company to post a bond or any other security.  Nothing contained
in this Agreement shall limit the Company’s right to any other remedies at law
or in equity.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            11

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      13.         Payment of Defense
Costs.  If Executive is individually named as a defendant in a
lawsuit relating to or arising out of Executive’s employment with the Company,
then the Company agrees to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
Executive incurs in defending such lawsuit (the “Defense
Costs”).  The Company will not pay any damages or any other
sums or relief for which Executive is held liable.  If Executive is
held liable, then Executive agrees to reimburse the Company for all Defense
Costs the Company paid to Executive or on Executive’s behalf.  The
Company’s obligation under this Section 13 shall not
apply to any claim or lawsuit brought by the Company against Executive. Payment
of the Defense Costs shall be the Company’s only obligation under this Section 13; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 13 shall be
construed to limit either Party’s rights or obligations under any
indemnification agreement or the Company’s organizational documents, as
applicable

      

      14.         Clawback. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, any amounts paid or payable to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise by the Company, including, but
not limited to, any equity compensation granted to Executive, may be subject to
forfeiture or repayment to the Company in accordance with Code Section 409A and
pursuant to any clawback policy as adopted by the Board from time to time, and
Executive hereby agrees to be bound by any such policy.

      

      15.         Severability.  The
provisions of this Agreement are severable.  If any provision of this
Agreement is determined to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such
provision shall be modified so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by law.  If such provision cannot be modified to be
enforceable, the provision shall be severed from this Agreement to the extent
unenforceable.  The remaining provisions and any partially enforceable
provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

      

      16.         Attorneys’
Fees.  In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement,
the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs of
litigation in addition to all other remedies available at law or in
equity.

      

      17.         Waiver.  Either
Party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not act as a
waiver of that or any other provision.  Either Party’s waiver of any
breach of this Agreement shall not act as a waiver of any other
breach.

      

      18.         Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this
Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes any prior communications,
agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including without limitation
the Prior Agreement.  Other than the terms of this Agreement, no other
representation, promise or agreement has been made with Executive to cause
Executive to sign this Agreement.

      

      19.         Amendments.  This
Agreement may not be amended or modified except in a writing signed by both
Parties.

      

      20.         Successors and
Assigns.  This Agreement shall be assignable to, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the Company’s successors and assigns, including,
without limitation, successors through merger, name change, consolidation or
sale of a majority of the Company’s stock or assets and shall be binding upon
Executive. Executive shall not have the right to assign Executive’s rights or
obligations under this Agreement.  The covenants contained in Section 8 of this
Agreement shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the
Company, regardless of which Party causes the termination or the reason for the
termination.

      21.         Governing
Law.  The laws of the State of Tennessee shall govern this
Agreement. If Tennessee’s conflict of law rules would apply another state’s
laws, the Parties agree that Tennessee law shall still govern.

      

      22.         No Strict
Construction.  If there is a dispute about the language of this
Agreement, the fact that one Party drafted this Agreement shall not be
considered in its interpretation.

      

      23.         Notice. Whenever
any notice is required, it shall be given in writing addressed as
follows:

      Notice shall be deemed given and
effective when deposited in the U.S. mail, sent to the receiving party by

      24.         Consent to Jurisdiction and
Venue.  Executive agrees that any claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be brought in a state or federal court of
competent jurisdiction in Tennessee.  Executive consents to the
personal jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts located in
Tennessee.  Executive waives (a) any objection to jurisdiction or
venue, or (b) any defense claiming lack of jurisdiction or improper venue in any
action brought in such courts.

      

      25.         Affirmation.  Executive
acknowledges that Executive has carefully read this Agreement, Executive knows
and understands its terms and conditions and Executive has had the opportunity
to ask the Company any questions Executive may have had prior to signing this
Agreement.

      

      26.         Compliance with Code Section
409A and Other Applicable
Provisions of the Code.

      

      (a)           It
is intended that (i) each payment or installment of payments provided under this
Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Code Section 409A, and (ii)
that the payments satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from
the application of Code Section 409A, including those provided under Treasury
Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4) (regarding short-term deferrals), 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)
(regarding the two-times, two (2) year exception) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)
(regarding reimbursements and other separation pay).  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if the Company determines (i) that on the date
of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury
Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) or at such other time that the Company determines to be
relevant, Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined under
Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(i)(1)) of the Company, and (ii) that any payments
to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement are or may become subject
to the additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or any other taxes or
penalties imposed under Code Section 409A if provided at the time otherwise
required under this Agreement, then such payments shall be delayed until the
date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive’s “separation from
service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) or, if
sooner, the date of Executive’s death.  Any payments delayed pursuant
to this Section
26 shall be made in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month
following Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under
Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) or, if sooner, the date of Executive’s
death.  It is intended that Agreement shall comply with the provisions
of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to
subject Executive to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Code
Section 409A. In furtherance of this intent, this Agreement shall be
interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these
intentions.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            13

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      (b)           In
addition, to the extent that any reimbursement, fringe benefit or other, similar
plan or arrangement in which Executive participates during the term of
Executive’s employment under this Agreement or thereafter provides for a
“deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, (i) the
amount eligible for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in
one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or
payment in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or
health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on the amount that may
be reimbursed or paid), (ii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein
or the applicable plans or arrangements, any reimbursement or payment of an
expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on or before the last day of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred,
and (iii) the right to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit is not subject to
liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

      

      (c)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, a termination of Executive’s employment shall
not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement
providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a
termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from
service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A (and Treasury Regulation
1.409A-1(h)) (which, by definition, includes a separation from any other entity
that would be deemed a single employer together with the Company for this
purpose under Code Section 409A (and Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)), and for
purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,”
“termination of employment,” “termination date,” or similar terms shall mean
“separation from service.”

      

      (d)           For
the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay any amounts that are due under
this Agreement following Executive’s termination of employment, death,
Disability or other event within the periods of time that are specified in this
Agreement, provided, however, that the Company, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall determine the date or dates on which any such payment shall be
made during such specified period.

      

      (e)           By
accepting this Agreement, Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that neither
the Company nor its Subsidiaries make any representations with respect to the
application of Code Section 409A to any tax, economic or legal consequences of
any payments payable to Executive hereunder.  Further, by the
acceptance of this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that (i) Executive has
obtained independent tax advice regarding the application of Code Section 409A
to the payments due to Executive hereunder, (ii) Executive retains full
responsibility for the potential application of Code Section 409A to the tax and
legal consequences of payments payable to Executive hereunder  and
(iii) the Company shall not indemnify or otherwise compensate Executive for any
violation of Code Section 409A that my occur in connection with this
Agreement.  The parties agree to cooperate in good faith to amend such
documents and to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to comply
with Code Section 409A.
