year, and (z) health insurance benefits at the same level of coverage as was provided to you immediately prior to the termination without Cause or the termination for Good Reason ("Health Care
Coverage") by electing Federal COBRA continuation coverage, or similar coverage required under state law (collectively, "COBRA"), in which event the Company shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of
your Health Care Coverage premiums and those of your dependents under COBRA for six (6) full months following the month in which you were terminated without Cause or you voluntarily terminated your
employment for Good Reason. 

    For
purposes of this letter, the following terms shall be defined as follows: 

    (a) "Cause"
is defined as: (i) a material act of dishonesty made by you in connection with your responsibilities as an executive officer of the Company; (ii) conviction
of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) your gross misconduct in connection with your duties as an executive officer of the Company; or (iv) continued
substantial violations of your employment duties after (A) you have received a written demand for performance from the Company's Board of Directors that specifically sets forth the factual basis for
the Board's belief that you have not substantially performed your duties, and (B) following a reasonable opportunity, not to be less than thirty (30) days, for you to cure any substantial failure of
performance of your duties. 

    (b) "Change
of Control" of the Company is defined as; (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act")) becoming the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 51%
of the total voting power represented by the 

Company's then outstanding voting securities; or (ii) the date of the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation that has been approved by the stockholders or
the Board of the Company; or (iii) the date on which the stockholders or the Board of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company; or (iv) the date of the consummation of the
sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets. 

    (c) "Good
Reason" shall mean your voluntary resignation from the Company within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any of the following; (i) without your express
written consent, a material reduction of the duties, title, authority or responsibilities, relative to your duties, title, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such
reduction, or the assignment to you of such reduced duties, title, authority or responsibilities; (ii) a reduction by the Company in your annual Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to such
reduction; (iii) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits, including bonuses, to which you were entitled immediately prior to such reduction, with the result that
your overall benefits package is materially reduced; (iv) your relocation to a facility or a location more than forty (40) miles from your residence at the time of the relocation without your express
written consent; or (v) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this agreement by any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger
or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. 

    The
terms of this agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement executed by you and an executive officer of the Company, and shall, together with the
Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Terms of Employment Agreement and such other written agreements you and the Company may enter in connection with your employment, constitute the
entire agreement between you and the Company relating to the terms of your employment.
