      (b)

        or
        distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan,
        arrangement or otherwise (the “Payment”), is or would be subject to an excise
        tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
        (“Code”) or any other provision of the Code, or constitutes or would constitute
        an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code,
        then the Company shall pay the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up
        Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction of
        any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any other provision
        of
        the Code), and any federal, state and local income and employment tax and
        excise
        tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Payment. For
        purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive
        shall
        be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal
        rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which
        the
        Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest
        marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence
        (or, if greater, the state and locality in which the Executive is required
        to
        file a nonresident income tax return with respect to the Payment) on the
        date of
        Payment, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be
        obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes.

      

      (c)
        All
        determinations to be made under this Section shall be made by the Company’s
        independent public accountant (the “Accounting Firm”) at the Company’s sole
        expense. The Accounting Firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting
        calculations both to the Company and the Executive within thirty (30) days
        of
        the Executive’s separation from the Company. Any such determination by the
        Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. Within
        five
        (5) days after the Accounting Firm’s determination, the Company shall pay (or
        cause to be paid) or distribute (or cause to be distributed) to or for the
        benefit of the Executive such amounts as are then due to the Executive under
        this Section.

        (d)
          The
          Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
          Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company
          of
          the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable
          but no later than fifteen (15) business days after the Executive knows
          of such
          claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the
          date on
          which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such
          claim
          prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following the date
          on
          which the Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period
          ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim
          is due).
          If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration
          of such
          period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall: (1)
          give the
          Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to
          such
          claim; (2) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
          the
          Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
          without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such
          claim by
          an attorney reasonably selected by the Company; (3) reasonably cooperate
          with
          the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and
          (4)
          permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim.
          The
          Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional
          interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall
          indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any
          excise
          tax, income tax or employment tax, including interest and penalties, with
          respect thereto, imposed as a result of such representation and payment
          of costs
          and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions, the Company
          shall
          control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its
          sole
          option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings,
          hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim.
          The
          Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to
          which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall
          be
          entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised
          by the
          Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

      (e)
        Any
        and all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in performing the
        determinations referred to in this Section shall be borne solely by the Company.
        In addition, in the event the Executive seeks any accounting, financial or
        legal
        services in connection with this Section, any and all fees and expenses by
        such
        accountants, financial advisors or counsel shall be fully reimbursed by the
        Company.

      

      (f)
        If it
        any time it appears that an excise tax may become due and owing under this
        Section 3.04, then the Company and the Executive shall consult with each
        other
        to determine if there is a mutually agreeable method of reducing such excise
        tax. 

      

      Section
        3.05. Definitions
        of Certain Terms.
        (a)
        "Disability" shall mean any physical or mental condition of the Executive
        that
        renders the Executive incapable of performing any substantial portion of
        the
        services contemplated hereby (as confirmed by competent medical evidence)
        and
        that has continued for at least 90 consecutive business days in any 12-month
        period or a total of six months during any 12-month period.

      (b)
         The
        following shall constitute conduct entitling the Company to terminate the
        Executive's employment for "Cause": (i) the Executive's willful refusal to
        perform or substantial disregard of the Executive’s duties to the Company that
        is not cured within fifteen (15) days of written notice (specifying the failure)
        thereof from the Board, (ii) the commission by the Executive of a willful
        and
        material breach of Article IV, (iii) the conviction of any felony by the
        Executive (or the equivalent thereof under the laws of any state), (iv) the
        commission of any act constituting financial dishonesty against the Company
        (which act would be chargeable as a crime under applicable law), (v) the
        Executive‘s engaging in any other act of dishonesty, fraud, intentional
        misrepresentation, moral turpitude, illegality or harassment that, as determined
        in good faith by the Board, would (A) materially adversely affect the business
        or reputation of the Company with its current or prospective customers,
        suppliers, lenders and/or other third parties with whom it does or might
        do
        business or (B) expose the Company to a risk of civil or criminal legal damage,
        liabilities or penalties, (vi) the repeated failure by the Executive to follow
        the directives of the Board that is not cured within fifteen (15) days of
        written notice (specifying the failure) thereof from the Board, or (vii)
        any
        material misconduct by the Executive in connection with the business affairs
        of
        the Company that is not cured within fifteen (15) days of written notice
        (specifying the failure) thereof from the Board.

      

      It
        shall
        be presumed that any termination of the Executive by the Company is without
        Cause, and such presumption may only be overcome by clear and convincing
        evidence that the termination of the Executive’s employment can properly be
        construed as for Cause. If the issue of “Cause” is litigated in a proceeding in
        any court or through any means of alternative dispute resolution and such
        issue
        is resolved in the Executive’s favor, the Company shall reimburse the Executive
        for all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Executive
        in such proceeding. 

      

      (c)
         ”Change
        of Control“ shall mean: (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or
        into another corporation other than a transaction (A) in which the Company
        is
        the surviving Corporation (except where such other merger or consolidation
        party
        is controlled by or under common control with another corporation) or (B)
        merging or consolidating the Company with any corporation controlling,
        controlled by or under common control with the Company (in which case the
        surviving corporation shall be deemed the ”Company“ for purposes of this
        Agreement), or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the
        Company to any corporation or entity, other than a sale to any corporation
        or
        entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company
        prior
        to such transaction (in which case the surviving corporation shall be deemed
        the
”Company“ for purposes of this Agreement).

        whether the Executive has violated any such covenants or until mutually
        instructed by the parties. Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Amount
        in

        person
        (other than, during the Employment Period, an executive of the Company or
        any of
        the Company's subsidiaries or other person to whom disclosure is reasonably
        necessary or appropriate or legally required in connection with the Executive's

        by the Company, the Executive shall surrender to the Company all records
        and

        The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this
        Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in
        any
        way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right
        of
        any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver
        of any
        breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other
        or
        subsequent breach.

        valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions
        contained herein is for any reason held to be unenforceable in any respect,
        such
        unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement,
        and
        this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable provision or
        provisions had never been contained herein unless the deletion of such provision
        or provisions would result in such a material change as to cause the remaining
        terms hereof to be unreasonable.

        5.12. Execution
        of Counterparts.
        This
        Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
        be
        considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one
        and
        the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts

have any adequate remedy at law for the breach or threatened breach by the
Executive of Executive's covenant, and agrees that the Company shall be entitled

or in equity.

      10. Covenant Not to Compete.

            (a) During Employment Period. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall not engage its services for a firm or business that directly or
indirectly competes with the business activities of the Company and its
subsidiaries, nor engage in or in any manner be connected or concerned, directly
or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, owner,
employee, creditor, or otherwise, with the operation, management, or conduct of
any business that competes with or is of a nature similar to that of the
Company.

            (b) Following Termination of Employment Period. Within the one (1)
year period immediately following the later of the end of the Employment Period
or termination of the Executive's Employment with the Company, for any reason
except as set forth below, the Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of
the Company: (a) engage in or in any manner be connected or concerned, directly
or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, owner,
employee, creditor, or otherwise with the operation, management, or conduct of

the Company is, or reasonably contemplating, doing business at the time of such
termination; (b) solicit, contact, interfere with, or divert any customer served
by the Company, or any prospective customer identified by or on behalf of the
Company, during the Executive's Employment with the Company; or (c) solicit any

the Company.

            (c) Severability. The covenants of the Executive contained in
Sections 8, 9, and 10 of this Agreement shall each be construed as an agreement
independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any
claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Company, whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement by the Company of such covenants. Both parties hereby expressly
agree and contract that it is not the intention of either party to violate any
public policy, or statutory or common law, and that if any sentence, paragraph,
clause, or combination of the same of this Agreement is in violation of the law,
such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same shall be void, and
the remainder of such paragraph and this Agreement shall remain binding on the
parties to make the covenants of this Agreement binding only to the extent that
it may be lawfully done. In the event that any part of any covenant of this
Agreement is determined by a court of law to be overly broad thereby making the
covenant unenforceable, the parties hereto agree, and it is their desire, that
such court shall substitute a judicially enforceable limitation in its place,
and that as so modified the covenant shall be binding upon the parties as if
originally set forth herein.

      11. Termination.

            (a) Termination for Just Cause. The Company shall have the option to

Executive or Executive's absence from active Employment by reason of illness or

Executive of Executive's covenants under this Agreement; (c) the commission by
the Executive of theft or embezzlement of Company property or other acts of
dishonesty; (d) the commission by the Executive of a crime resulting in injury

ownership of the assets of the Company or Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc.,
the Executive shall receive a payment equal to twenty four (24) months of the

per share shall be the Market Price. Such payment to Executive shall be made on
the day immediately preceding the effective date of the change of ownership.
Regarding the change of ownership of the assets of the Company or Robotic

Workspace Technologies, Inc., is granted or sold to a party or parties in
settlement of claims made by the Company and/or Robotic Workspace Technologies,
Inc. of trade secret violations and/or patent infringements, and such rights to
