Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Christopher E. Donohue (the
“Executive”) is entered into on February 11th, 2009.

     The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders to diminish the inevitable distraction to the
Executive from the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or potential Change of
Control, and to encourage the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently
and in the event of any pending or potential Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with a
severance package if the Executive is terminated as a result of a Change of Control. Therefore, in
order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Change of Control occurs and if

Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of
employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to
effect the Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of the

continuance of such assignment of duties or other such action for a period of sixty (60) days; (ii)
the requirement of the Executive to be based at any office or location other than the location to
which Executive was assigned prior to the Effective Date, except for short-term assignments (under

Executive; (iii) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 9(c) of this
Agreement, or any failure by any successor to assume and offer to perform this Agreement in

written notice from the Company or the Executive of the requirements of Section 9(c).

          (g) “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which (i) indicates the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon by the terminating party, and (ii) to

the Company for Cause, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified

          (b) Compensation. During the Change Period, the Executive shall:

     3. Termination of Employment.

          (a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically
upon the Executive’s death or Disability that continues for 30 days after the Company provides
Executive of notice of its determination of Disability.

          (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Change
Period for Cause.

          (c) The Executive’s employment may be terminated during the Change Period by the Executive for

Section 4 of this Agreement shall apply. 

          (e) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the
Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other
party in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, if the Executive is resigning for Good
Reason, the Notice of Termination must be provided to the Company within ninety (90) days of the
existence of the condition that constitutes Good Reason and must provide the Company a period of
thirty (30) days to remedy the condition that constitutes Good Reason. If the Company remedies the
condition that constitutes Good Reason within such thirty (30) day period, then the Executive may
withdraw the Notice of Termination; provided that if the Executive does not withdraw the
Notice of Termination, then the Executive will be considered to have terminated his employment
without Good Reason.

     4. Obligations of the Company upon Termination.

          (a) Good Reason: Other than for Cause, Death or Disability. If during the Change
Period, either the Company terminates the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, Death or
Disability, or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason, the Company shall:

               (i) pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash the aggregate of the following amounts:

                    A. the sum of: (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination
Date to the extent not theretofore paid; plus (2) any accrued vacation pay to the
extent not already paid; and

                    B. the Executive’s annual bonus as if earned at the Executive’s target level as
of the Termination Date; and

                    C. the amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as of the Termination
Date;

               (ii) grant and immediately vest in favor of the Executive thirty thousand (30,000)
options to purchase Voting Securities of the Company, with an Exercise Price no higher than
the closing market price of such Voting Securities on the Termination Date (“Termination
Options”), which must be exercised within twelve (12) months after the Termination Date,
subject to the remaining terms and conditions of the Company’s Option Grant Policy. If the
Termination Options have already been granted to the Executive before the Termination Date,
then this Section 4(a)(ii) shall be deemed to have been complied with, and shall be of no
further force or effect;

               (iii) provide the Executive with reasonable executive outplacement services for a
period of up to twelve (12) months after the Termination Date through a recognized
outplacement provider that is agreed to by the Company and the Executive;

3

 

               (iv) continue welfare benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least
equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the welfare plans,
programs, practices and policies of the Company as if the Executive’s employment had not
been
terminated for a period of twelve (12) months; provided, however, that if the
Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or
other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare
benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during
such applicable period of eligibility (such continuation of such benefits for the applicable
period herein set forth shall be hereinafter referred to as “Welfare Benefit
Continuation”). Any benefits received by the Executive pursuant to this Section shall
not reduce the period of time the Executive is entitled to receive COBRA continuation health
coverage as a result of the Executive’s termination of employment;

               (v) immediately upon termination vest any options, restricted stock, or performance
stock granted to Executive, and the Executive will have six (6) months after the Termination
Date to exercise any such options;

               (vi) pay to the Executive the proceeds of the Executive Savings Plan, including all
accumulated interest and dividends, as required therein.

The Company shall pay the amounts described in this Section (in the aggregate, the
“Severance”) promptly after the Termination Date, but no more than thirty (30) days
thereafter; provided that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the Termination Date, then to
the extent the Severance exceeds an amount equal to the lesser of (x) two times the Executive’s
Annual Base Salary for the prior calendar year and (y) two times the dollar limitation in effect
under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, such excess shall
be paid with interest on such delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Code
Section 7872(f)(2)(A) on the first business day after the date that is six months after the
Termination Date (the “Delayed Payment Date”). In addition, if the Executive is a
Specified Employee on the Termination Date and if the taxable value of continued life insurance
coverage exceeds the applicable dollar limit under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) as in effect for the
Termination Date, then the Executive shall pay the Company the premiums for the coverage in excess
of such limit and, on the Delayed Payment Date, the Company shall reimburse such amount to the
Executive.

          (b) Death, Retirement or Disability. If during the Change Period, the Executive’s
employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death, retirement or Disability, the Company
shall have no further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives or the Executive, as the
case may be, under this Agreement.

          (c) Cause, Other than for Good Reason. If during the Change Period, the Executive’s
employment is terminated for Cause, or if the Executive terminates employment other than for Good
Reason, the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive, except the Company
shall be obligated to pay the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date plus the
amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive, in each case to the extent not
already paid.

     5. Limitation on Payment. If the Executive is a “disqualified individual” within the
meaning of Code Section 280G, the parties expressly agree that the payments described in this
Agreement and all other payments to the Executive under any other agreements or arrangements with
any persons that constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code
shall collectively be subject to an overall maximum limit (the “Code Section 280G Limit”).
In such case, the aggregate amount of any payments under this Agreement shall not exceed the Code
Section 280G Limit. The Code Section 280G Limit shall be One Dollar ($1.00) less than the
aggregate amount that would otherwise cause any such payments to be considered a “parachute
payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the Company.
Accordingly, to the extent that the payments would be considered a “parachute payment” with respect
to the Executive, then the portions of such payments shall be reduced or eliminated in the
following order until the remaining payments with respect to the Executive can be fully paid within
the Code Section 280G Limit.

4

 

          (a) First, any cash payment to the Executive;

          (b) Second, any “parachute payments” not described in this Agreement; and

          (c) Third, any forgiveness of indebtedness of the Executive to the Company.

The Executive expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights to receive any “parachute
payments” that exceed the Code Section 280G Limit.

     6. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the
benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the
Company and its respective businesses, which has been obtained by the Executive during the
Executive’s employment by the Company which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by
acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After
termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process,
communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and
those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section
constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive
under this Agreement.

     7. Non-Solicitation Covenant. In consideration for entry into this Agreement,
Executive reaffirms his/her agreement with the Company not to compete with, or solicit customers or
employees of the Company as set forth in the Intellectual Property Assignment, Non-Solicitation,
and Confidentiality Agreement.

     8. Successors and Assigns.

          (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the
Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s
legal representatives.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its
successors and assigns.

          (c) The Company shall 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 same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As
used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this
Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

     9. General Provisions.

          (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Michigan, without reference to principles or conflict of laws. All litigation related to this
Agreement shall be brought in a court located in the State of Michigan, and each party, for the
purposes of such litigation, hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of that court.
The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or
effect.

          (b) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by

provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the
Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the

employment with the Company terminates, then the Executive shall have no further rights under this
Agreement. The Executive further acknowledges that this Agreement does not give the Executive any
additional right to participate in any plan, program, etc. The Executive and the Company agree

challenge or contest any such decision by the Company; and

     (ii) that the Company may alter or amend this Agreement at any time for any
reason or for no reason.

     3. Termination of Employment.

          (a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically
upon the Executive’s death or Disability that continues for 30 days after the Acquired Company
provides Executive of notice of its determination of Disability.

          (b) Cause. The Acquired Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the
Change Period for Cause.

          (c) The Executive’s employment may be terminated during the Change Period by the Executive for
Good Reason.

          (d) In the case of any termination of employment under this Agreement, the provisions of
Section 4 of this Agreement shall apply.

          (e) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Acquired Company for Cause, or by
the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other
party in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, if the Executive is resigning for Good
Reason, the Notice of Termination must be provided to the Acquired Company within ninety (90) days
of the existence of the condition that constitutes Good Reason and must provide the Acquired
Company a period of thirty (30) days to remedy the condition that constitutes Good Reason. If the
Acquired Company remedies the condition that constitutes Good Reason within such thirty (30) day
period, then the Executive may withdraw the Notice of Termination; provided that if the
Executive does not withdraw the Notice of Termination, then the Executive will be considered to
have terminated his employment without Good Reason.

     4. Obligations of the Acquired Company upon Termination.

          (a) Good Reason: Other than for Cause, Death or Disability. If during the Change
Period, either the Acquired Company terminates the Executive’s employment other than for Cause,
Death or Disability, or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason, the Acquired Company
shall:

          (i) pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash the aggregate of the following amounts:

3

 

          A. the sum of: (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Termination
Date to the extent not theretofore paid; plus (2) any accrued vacation pay to the
extent not already paid; and

          B. the Executive’s Annual Bonus as if earned at the target level; and

          C. the amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary;

          (ii) provide the Executive with reasonable executive outplacement services for a period
of up to twelve (12) months after the Termination Date through a recognized outplacement
provider that is agreed to by the Acquired Company and the Executive;

          (iii) continue welfare benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least
equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the welfare plans,
programs, practices and policies of the Acquired Company as if the Executive’s employment
had not been terminated for a period of twelve (12) months; provided, however, that
if the Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive
medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and
other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such
other plan during such applicable period of eligibility (such continuation of such benefits
for the applicable period herein set forth shall be hereinafter referred to as “Welfare
Benefit Continuation”). Any benefits received by the Executive pursuant to this Section
shall not reduce the period of time the Executive is entitled to receive COBRA continuation
health coverage as a result of the Executive’s termination of employment;

          (iv) immediately upon termination vest any options, restricted stock, or performance
stock granted to Executive, and the Executive will have six (6) months to exercise any
such options;

          (v) pay to the Executive the proceeds of the Executive Savings Plan, including all
accumulated interest and dividends, as required therein.

The Company shall pay the amounts described in this Section (in the aggregate, the “Severance
Pay”) promptly after the Termination Date, but no more than thirty (30) days thereafter;
provided that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the Termination Date, then to the extent
the Severance Pay exceeds an amount equal to the lesser of (x) two times the Executive’s Annual
Base Salary for the prior calendar year and (y) two times the dollar limitation in effect under
Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, such excess shall be
paid with interest on such delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Code
Section 7872(f)(2)(A) on the first business day after the date that is six months after the
Termination Date (the “Delayed Payment Date”). In addition, if the Executive is a
Specified Employee on the Termination Date and if the taxable value of continued life insurance
coverage exceeds the applicable dollar limit under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) as in effect for the
Termination Date, then the Executive shall pay the Acquired Company the premiums for the coverage
in excess of such limit and, on the Delayed Payment Date, the Acquired Company shall reimburse such
amount to the Executive.

          (b) Death, Retirement or Disability. If during the Change Period, the Executive’s
employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death, retirement or Disability, the Acquired
Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives or the
Executive, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

          (c) Cause, Other than for Good Reason. If during the Change Period, the Executive’s
employment is terminated for Cause, or if the Executive terminates employment other than for Good
Reason, the Acquired Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive, except the
Acquired Company shall be obligated to pay the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the
Termination Date plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive, in each
case to the extent not already paid.

     5. Limitation on Payment. If the Executive is a “disqualified individual” within the
meaning of Code Section 280G, the parties expressly agree that the payments described in this
Agreement and all other payments to the Executive under any other agreements or arrangements with
any persons that constitute

4

 

“parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code shall collectively be
subject to an overall maximum limit (the “Code Section 280G Limit”). In such case, the
aggregate amount of any payments under this Agreement shall not exceed the Code Section 280G Limit.
The Code Section 280G Limit shall be One Dollar ($1.00) less than the aggregate amount that would
otherwise cause any such payments to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the Acquired Company. Accordingly, to the extent that
the payments would be considered a “parachute payment” with respect to the Executive, then the
portions of such payments shall be reduced or eliminated in the following order until the remaining
payments with respect to the Executive can be fully paid within the Code Section 280G Limit.

          (a) First, any cash payment to the Executive;

          (b) Second, any “parachute payments” not described in this Agreement; and

          (c) Third, any forgiveness of indebtedness of the Executive to the Acquired Company.

The Executive expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights to receive any “parachute
payments” that exceed the Code Section 280G Limit.

     6. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the
benefit of the Acquired Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating
to the Acquired Company and its respective businesses, which has been obtained by the Executive
during the Executive’s employment by the Acquired Company which shall not be or become public
knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of
this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Acquired Company or as may otherwise be
required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to
anyone other than the Acquired Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted
violation of the provisions of this Section constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any
amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

     7. Non-Solicitation Covenant. In consideration for entry into this Agreement,
Executive reaffirms his/her agreement with the Acquired Company not to compete with, or solicit
customers or employees of the Acquired Company as set forth in the Intellectual Property
Assignment, Non-Solicitation, and Confidentiality Agreement.

     8. Successors and Assigns.

          (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the
Acquired Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive’s legal representatives.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Acquired Company and
its successors and assigns.

          (c) The Acquired Company shall 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 Acquired Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Acquired Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Acquired Company” shall mean the Acquired Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and
agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

     9. General Provisions.

          (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Michigan, without reference to principles or conflict of laws. All litigation related to this
Agreement shall be brought in a court located in the State of Michigan, and each party, for the
purposes of such litigation, hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of that court.
The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or
effect.

any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right
the Executive or the Acquired Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right
of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

          (f) The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under
any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive
by the Company is “at will” and, prior to the Effective Date, may be terminated by either the
Executive or the Company at any time. Moreover, if prior to the Effective Date, the Executive’s
employment with the Company terminates, then the Executive shall have no further rights under this
Agreement. The Executive further acknowledges that this Agreement does not give the Executive any
additional right to participate in any plan, program, etc. The Executive and the Company agree
that this Agreement supercedes any separation policy of the Company.

          (g) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject
matter hereof. Any prior understandings, representations, promises, undertakings, agreements or
inducements, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter hereof not contained herein
shall have no force and effect.

          (h) 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. An
agreement to amend this Agreement can be entered into on behalf of the Company only by the
President of the Company after approval of the Company Board.
