contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Resignation. Employee and Company agree that Employee will resign from his employment and all positions with the Company, including, but not limited to, all officer
positions and all trustee positions in pension and 401k plans, effective April 3,2010 (the “Separation Date”).

current salary and benefits. 

  

	 	3.	 Severance Period; Severance Payments; No Compensation Owed. For a period of 156 weeks following the Separation Date (the “Severance
Period”), Employee shall be paid the gross amount of $1366.73 per week. This severance pay, minus applicable withholding and tax deductions required by law, will be paid in accordance with the normal payroll cycles. Employee

	 	 
shall not be entitled to any bonus or other cash compensation during the Severance Period. Employee represents that, as of the Effective Date, he has received all compensation due and owing from
Company, with the exception of a cash bonus in the amount of $50,000. Employee acknowledges and agrees that this bonus may be reduced pro rata or eliminated in line with bonuses (if any) awarded by the Board of Directors to similarly situated
employees, and that any such bonus will be paid at the same time, and in the same manner, as bonuses paid to similarly situated employees. 

  

	 	4.	Health Benefits; COBRA. The Employee’s COBRA benefits (18 month eligibility) will start on the first day of the Severance Period. During the first eighteen
(18) months of the Severance Period, Employee shall be entitled to receive medical, dental, and vision coverage (as applicable) at the applicable rates as all other employees, including new rates that become applicable, and the Company will pay

Employee’s employment with Company, for or because of any matter or thing done, omitted, or allowed to be done by Company or the Other Released Parties, as applicable, for any incidents, including those past and present, which existed or may
have existed at any time prior to and/or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and through and including the Separation Date, including all past, present, and future damages, injuries, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, other

	 	d.	Employee understands and acknowledges that he is releasing Claims and Controversies of which he may not be aware. This is Employee’s knowing and voluntary intent, even
though Employee recognizes that some day he might learn that some or all of the facts that he currently believes to be true are untrue and even though he might then regret having entered into this Agreement. Nevertheless, Employee is assuming that
risk and agrees that this Agreement shall remain effective in all respects in any such case. It is further understood and agreed that Employee is waiving all rights under any statute or common law principle which otherwise limits application of a
general release to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of signing the release which, if known by him, would have materially affected his settlement with the party being released, and Employee
understands the significance of doing so. 

  

	 	e.	In the event that any governmental agency independently decides to pursue any lawsuit or other action against Company in connection with its employment practices, Employee
disclaims any right to damages, or to monetary or other relief, recovered as a result of such suit or action.

	 	g.	Employee understands and acknowledges that this Section 10 constitutes an essential, material term of this Agreement. 

	 	11.	No Violation. It is specifically understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission that Company has violated any federal,
state or local law or common law duty, or that an action taken by Company with respect to the Employee has been unwarranted, unjustified, discriminatory or otherwise unlawful. 

  

	 	12.	Severability. It is specifically understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement are severable, and that, if any provision of this Agreement or if the
application thereof under any circumstances is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be stricken and all other provisions that can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision shall remain valid and
enforceable. 

  

	 	13.	Voluntary Agreement; Review Period. The Employee hereby acknowledges that he is acting of his own free will, without any duress, undue pressure or influence of any
kind, that he has been afforded a period of not less than twenty-one (21) days within which to read and consider the terms of this Agreement, that he has been encouraged to seek the advice of counsel with respect to this Agreement, and that he
fully understands all of the provisions and effects of this document. In addition, the Employee acknowledges that he has not relied on any promises, representations, inducements, or warranties other than those contained in this Agreement.

  

	 	14.	Revocation Period. The Employee acknowledges that he is fully aware that he remains free to revoke this Agreement for a period of seven (7) days following the
execution by him of this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”) by providing written notice to Company of his intention to revoke within the Revocation Period. The Employee further understands that this Agreement shall not become effective or
enforceable until the Revocation Period has expired. Employee understands and acknowledges that he shall relinquish any right he has to the compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement if he exercises his right to revoke this Agreement. If
Employee has not exercised his right to revoke this Agreement within the Revocation Period, this Agreement shall become irrevocable automatically at the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the last day of the Revocation Period.

	 	16.	Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and shall not be construed as part of this Agreement or to limit or
otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 

  

	 	17.	 Enforcement. In the event either party breaches this Agreement, the breaching party shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of written
notice from the non-breaching party to cure such

	 	 
breach. In the event that a breach of this Agreement is proven in any action brought to enforce this Agreement, the non-breaching party may seek to recover, in addition to damages and other
remedies, the reasonable costs and fees (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) incurred in establishing the breach and securing judicial relief. Further, in the event that any provisions of this Agreement are breached, the
non-breaching party may seek to recover damages for the breach without waiving the right to insist on the breaching party’s continued fulfillment of all other obligations under the Agreement. 

  

	 	18.	Governing Law; Choice of Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced under, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the
choice of law provisions thereof. The exclusive venue for any action arising from, or brought to enforce, this Agreement shall be the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida.

claim against Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon Employee and Company, and their respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns. Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement, including the
Restrictive Covenant attached as Appendix A, to any successor in interest, or to a related or affiliated entity. Employee may not assign this Agreement without Company’s prior written approval, which may be granted or withheld at Company’s

	6.	REMEDIES 

 Employee acknowledges that
irreparable damage would occur in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this Appendix A. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy to which Company may be entitled at law or in equity, Company shall be entitled to an injunction to
prevent any such breach by Employee and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Appendix A. 
  

	7.	SCOPE 

 If the scope of any
restriction or requirement contained in this Appendix A is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be too broad or restrictive to permit enforcement of such restriction or requirement to its full extent, then such restriction or requirement
shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Employee consents and agrees that the court may modify the scope of such restriction or requirement so as to permit its enforcement. 

 AGREED:
