shall commence on October 2, 2014 and shall remain in effect until the earlier of: 
  

	 	(i)	one year from the Effective Date, or 

  

	 	(ii)	the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 2(b), below,

 (b) Unilateral Termination; Death or Disability. This Agreement 

 

	 	(i)	may be terminated by either the Company or the Consultant, with or without cause, by the terminating party giving written notice to the other party no less than 30 calendar days before the Termination Date;

	 	(i)	If (A) the Termination Date is set by mutual agreement of the parties, or (B) the Company unilaterally terminates this Agreement other than for cause, or (C) the Agreement is terminated by reason of the

	 	(ii)	If the Consultant unilaterally terminates this Agreement or the Company terminates this Agreement for cause, the Consultant shall bill, and the Company shall pay, for the Services through the Termination Date, with the

Consultant shall bill on a monthly basis and following the Termination Date, and the Company shall pay within 30 days of receipt of each invoice. 
 (b)

analyses recorded or preserved in any written, electronic, or other tangible form whatsoever.

assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Work Product. The Consultant will not make any use of any of the Work Product other than in connection with performance of the Services. Promptly after the Termination Date and at

	5.	Confidential Information 

 (a) Defined. In this Agreement, the term “Confidential
Information” shall mean all Work Product and any and all other confidential information and trade secrets that the Company or any of its other employees, officers, directors, consultants or agents provides, or otherwise becomes known, to the
Consultant relating to the Services or the Consultant’s employment with the Company before the Retirement Date, as well as all non-public information that the Consultant acquires in the performance of the Services, unless it is in or comes into
the public domain without breach of this Agreement by the Consultant. 
 (b) Non-Disclosure and Non-Use. Unless otherwise agreed to in advance in
writing by the Company, and except as provided in the proviso to this provision, below, the Consultant will: 
  

	 	(i)	keep all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party except in confidence to other employees of, consultants to or agents of the Company involved in the issues that are the
subject matter of the Services with the consent of the Company; 

  

	 	(ii)	not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of the Services; 

  

	 	(iii)	take appropriate measures to prevent Confidential Information from being inadvertently disclosed to or seen or heard by any person other than members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”),
officers of the Company who are involved in the issues to which the Services relate, or other authorized consultants or agents retained by the Company in connection with such issues; 

provided, however, that, in the event that, at any time, the Consultant is under a legal duty, including pursuant to any subpoena or other order of a
court or government agency of competent jurisdiction, to disclose Confidential Information, the Consultant (A) shall notify counsel for the Company promptly upon receiving any such subpoena or document or otherwise learning of the existence of
any such duty, and (B) disclose Confidential Information only to the extent legally required, as advised by her counsel. In connection with any such subpoena, order or request, the Company shall provide legal counsel or pay the fees and
expenses, if any, of counsel for the Consultant. Such counsel may act as counsel for the Company (and/or counsel for the Board) unless, because of a conflict of interest, it is necessary for the Consultant to have separate counsel, in which case
such counsel will subject to the approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) Return or Destruction of Confidential Information.
Promptly after the Termination Date and at any other time upon the request of the Company, the Consultant shall, at the Company’s option, (i) deliver to the Company all Confidential Information that is in written, electronic or other
tangible form or (ii) destroy all such Confidential Information in a secure and confidential manner and certify to the Company that she has done so. 
  

	6.	Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation  

 (a) Non-Competition. For a period of one year from the
Effective Date, the Consultant will not associate with or engage in (whether as a director, officer, employee, partner, consultant, agent or advisor) business or other activities that are, directly or indirectly, competitive with the business of the
Company without obtaining the prior written consent of the Company. 

  
 3 

 (b) Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year after the Termination
Date, the Consultant shall not, whether on the Consultant’s own behalf or on behalf of any entity or person, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company to leave the employment of the Company; or
(ii) hire any employee who was employed by the Company as of the Termination Date or who left the employment of the Company coincident with, or within six months prior to, the Termination Date. 

 

	7.	Insurance; Liability; Indemnity 

 The Consultant understands and acknowledges that, in performing
the Services, she will not be covered under the Company’s insurance policies. The Company will indemnify and hold the Consultant harmless for any liability that she may incur as a result of the performance of the Services, other than due to the
Consultant’s gross negligence or gross misconduct, and shall provide counsel or advance or reimburse fees and expenses of counsel as necessary in the event that the Consultant is subject to legal proceedings as a result of providing the
Services; provided, however, that such counsel may act as counsel for the Company (and/or counsel for the Board) unless, because of a conflict of interest, it is necessary for the Consultant to have separate counsel, in which case such
counsel will subject to the approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld. 
  

	8.	Independent Contractor; No Employee Benefits; Taxes; No Agency or Authority 

  

	 	(a)	Independent Contractor. The Consultant will render the Services as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company, and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint
venture, or employer-employee relationship. 

  

	 	(b)	No Employee Benefits. The Consultant shall not be eligible for or entitled to any employee benefits of the Company. The Consultant understands that in the event the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental
authority were to determine that the Consultant and the Company were mistaken in their characterization of the Consultant as an independent contractor, the Consultant would then be in an excluded class of employees ineligible to participate in the
Company’s employee benefit plans and would not become entitled to retroactive benefits thereunder. 

  

	 	(c)	Taxes. The Consultant shall be solely responsible for all income, employment and self-employment tax reporting and returns and payments required to be filed with or paid to any federal, state, or local tax
authority with respect to the Consultant’s performance of the Services and receipt of fees under this Agreement. Because the Consultant is an independent contractor, the Company will not withhold or make payments for social security, make
unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain worker’s compensation insurance on the Consultant’s behalf. The Consultant agrees to accept exclusive liability for complying with all applicable state and federal
laws governing self-employed individuals, including obligations such as payment of taxes, social security, disability, and other contributions based on fees paid to the Consultant under this Agreement. The Consultant hereby agrees to indemnify and
defend the Company against any and all such taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest. 

  

	 	(d)	No Agency or Authority. This Agreement does not authorize the Consultant to act for the Company as its agent or to make any representation, contract or binding commitments on their behalf. 

 

	9.	Assignment 

 The Services to be performed by the Consultant hereunder are personal in nature. The
Company has engaged the Consultant as a result of the Consultant’s knowledge, abilities and expertise relating to such Services. The Consultant may not assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose any right, duty or obligation under
this Agreement. 

  
 4 

	10.	Governing Law 

 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York, without giving effect to choice of law or conflict of law rules or doctrines. 
  

	11.	General 

  

	 	(a)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and communications relating thereto.

  

	 	(b)	Waiver or Modification. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or of the same provision on another occasion. Failure of either party to enforce any provision
of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by writing signed by both parties, provided, however, that the sending of an
email from either party’s email account, when received by the other party, shall constitute a “signature” for purposes of this provision. 

  

	 	(c)	Notices. Any writing written notice or consent required or permitted hereunder may be given electronically, including by email, or by mail or delivery, as follows: 

 

	 	1.	If to the Consultant:

	 	(d)	 Severability. It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Consultant and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this
Agreement to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the Consultant, the provisions of
this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable (provided that in no event shall any such
amendment broaden the time period or scope of any restriction herein). Alternatively, if any court of 

  
 5 

	 	
competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect
the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 

  

	12.	Survival of Provisions 

 Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11, above, and this Section 12, shall
survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of
which together shall constitute one agreement binding on all the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
