the schedule set forth in Section II.A below.
	 
	 	C.	 	As used in this AGREEMENT, the phrase LICENSED PATENTS shall mean United States

embodied in STS LP/NVG Model 2722 as defined in attachment A attached hereto. The
LICENSED PATENTS have been issued or filed in the following countries as referenced in

Exhibit 10.12

	 	D.	 	The grant under 1.A above is a limited non-exclusive grant of the right to use
the LICENSED PATENTS solely for the purpose of manufacturing, use and sale of the
Product.

	II.	 	ROYALTIES

	 	A.	 	STS shall make royalty payments to NVC hereunder in accordance with the
following schedule:

	 	1.	 	For complete binocular- and monocular-style units of the
Product sold by STS anywhere in the world from August 25, 2007, through and
including December 31, 2007, the royalty payable to NVC shall remain at five
percent (5%) and neither any HUD Module nor any Spare Parts shall be considered
in the royalty calculation for said period.
	 
	 	2.	 	For complete binocular- and monocular-style units of the
Product sold by STS anywhere in the world from January 1, 2008, through and
including January 6, 2009, the royalty payable to NVC shall be increased to six
percent (6%) for said period.
	 
	 	3.	 	For complete units of the Product sold by STS anywhere in the
world from January 7, 2009, through and including May 13, 2009, the royalty
payable to NVC shall be decreased to one percent (1%) for said period.
	 
	 	4.	 	For any HUD Module or any Spare Parts, sold by STS anywhere in
the world commencing January 1, 2008, through and including May 13, 2009. the
royalty payable to NVC shall be six percent (6%) for said period.
	 
	 	5.	 	For complete binocular- and monocular-style units of the
Product and for any HUD Module or Spare Parts, sold or made by STS in Canada
commencing May 14, 2009, through and including June 1, 2010, which is the
expiration date of NVC’s Canadian Patent No. 1,318,528 of the Licensed Patents,
the royalty payable to NVC shall be six percent (6%) for said period.

	 	B.	 	For the purpose of this License Agreement. the term “sales price” shall mean
the sales price of the Product, excluding all Accessories as described in the Revised
Attachment to the Amendment No. 2 hereof, EXCEPT that any HUD Module sold by STS shall
not be considered an “Accessory” hereunder, effective January 1, 2008, pursuant to the
terms of this Amendment No. 3. A “sale” is considered to have occurred hereunder,
thereby triggering a royalty due NVC, at the time an order for any Product, HUD Module
or Spare Part is accepted by STS, irrespective of when delivery is to be made or when
STS is to receive payment from its customer. While the royalty becomes due NVC when
such a sale occurs,

2

 

Exhibit 10.12

	 	 	 	NVC agrees to delay demanding payment of the royalty due NVC until STS is due to
receive payment from its customer for said sale, which point in time the parties
understand and agree may take place beyond June 1, 2010.
	 
	 	C.	 	STS may “buy out” this sublicense for the Product for a purchase price of
$520,000. The $520,000 shall be payable in two installments: $260,000 at exercise of
the option and $260,000 no later than six (6) months after the due date of the initial
installment. This option must be exercised on or before February 20, 1996 unless
payment by STS to NVC of $2,600 per month for each month that it remains unexercised
for the period February 21, 1996 through August 21, 1996, If the option is not
exercised prior to August 22, 1996, the option is null and void. Any such payment of
$2,600 per month by STS for the continuing right to hold open the option shall not be a
credit against the $520,000.
	 
	 	D.	 	Exercise of this option is a sale of the sublicense for the use, manufacture,
and sale of the Product. It is not a sale of the LICENSED PATENTS or the intellectual
property rights pertaining to the LICENSED PATENTS and does not preclude NVC from use
of the LICENSED PATENTS or the intellectual property rights, or from sublicensing
others. Notwithstanding the above, NVC will not sublicense others to use, sell or
produce the Product or variants thereof.
	 
	 	E.	 	All obligations on the part of STS to pay royalty will cease with the exercise
of this option, and Parts Ill and IV hereof will no longer apply.
	 
	 	F.	 	Maintenance Fees for the LICENSED PATENTS shall be NVC’s responsibility. if STS
exercises the option in 11.C. above, NVC will bill STS for the amount of the
maintenance fee required, which will be paid by NVC and reimbursed by STS. Payment for
maintenance fees by STS will give STS no right, title, or interest in the LICENSED
PATENTS, If STS exercises the option in 11.C. above, and later elects to discontinue
its interests and rights to the exclusive sublicense for the Product and has not
sublicensed the Product for manufacture, use, or sale by others and will not otherwise
continue to manufacture, use, or sell the Product, such interests and rights may, upon
written notice by STS to NVC, be transferred to NVC at no cost to NVC or to STS.
Thereupon STS’s responsibility for contribution to patent maintenance fees shall cease.
In the event that NVC grants sublicense rights to other parties for other products
under the sublicensed patents, NVC agrees to invoice STS only for the pro rata share of
the maintenance fees based upon the total number of sublicense holders at the time the
invoice is submitted.

Exhibit 10.12

	III.	 	MINIMUM ROYALTY
	 
	 	 	NVC, at its option, may terminate this license if earned royalties do not exceed a total of
$25,000.00 at the end of the first year (twelve (12) months from inception) of this
AGREEMENT and at least $25,000.00 each year thereafter, unless STS makes a payment to NVC in
an amount that would bring the total annual payment to $25,000.00.
	 
	 	 	Earned royalties under this clause shall mean an existing contractual agreement between STS
and a bona fide customer that establishes STS’s obligation to pay royalties to NVC.
	 
	IV.	 	SUBLICENSES: ASSIGNABILITY 

	 	A.	 	STS may grant written sublicenses under the LICENSED PATENTS to its parent
company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and other parties upon such terms as STS may
arrange subject to: (a) NVC’s written approval of all sublicense AGREEMENTs, such
approval not be unreasonably withheld. (b) STS shall include all sales of licensed
products by all sublicensees in determining royalties payable hereunder as provided in
Article ll hereof; (c) such sublicense shall not be on any terms less favorable to NVC
than the terms of this AGREEMENT.
	 
	 	B.	 	Neither this AGREEMENT nor any interest herein is assignable or transferable by
either party without written permission by the other, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

	V.	 	ENFORCEMENT OF LICENSED PATENTS 

	 	A.	 	NVC, in granting a sublicense under this AGREEMENT, represents that it
possesses the right to grant the sublicense, to enforce the LICENSED PATENTS, and to
permit STS to enforce the LICENSED PATENTS as hereinafter set forth.
	 
	 	B.	 	Upon discovery of any infringement of any LICENSED PATENT that is subject to
the Sublicense granted by this AGREEMENT, the party having such knowledge shall
promptly notify the other party of the infringement. The parties shall then confer
regarding steps to be taken, if any, regarding the infringement, including any notice
to the infringing party, any suggested resolution, and any legal proceedings.
	 
	 	C.	 	STS shall make no response, oral, written or otherwise, regarding such
infringement that might provide a basis for declaratory judgment action on the part of
any third party relating to any of the LICENSED PATENTS, without the express written
approval of NVC.
	 
	 	D.	 	NVC may elect to institute appropriate legal proceedings to redress
infringement of any LICENSED PATENT. NVC shall bear all costs and

4

 

Exhibit 10.12

	 	 	 	attorney’s fees, and shall retain any resulting recovery. STS agrees to be named if
required by law, and to assist NVC as needed at NVC expense.
	 
	 	E.	 	If NVC elects not to proceed as provided in paragraph D above, appropriate
legal action in connection therewith may be undertaken by the parties jointly. In such
event, each party shall contribute equally to the expenses, except that NVC’s
contribution may be limited to one-half of the Patent Royalties paid or payable to NVC
during the pendency of any such action. If NVC limits its contribution in accordance
with this paragraph, STS may elect to limit or discontinue the legal action.
	 
	 	F.	 	If any damages for infringement are awarded by a final decree of judgment to
NVC and STS in any action pursuant to paragraph D above, then after deducting all
expenses arising from the litigation and reimbursing each contributing party for its
contributions, the remainder shall be divided equally. If such damages are less than
the total contributions of the parties, they shall be divided on a pro rata basis based
on the relative contributions of the parties.
	 
	 	G.	 	If NVC should elect not to proceed in accordance with paragraph D or E, and if
STS should, on its own, elect to institute appropriate legal proceedings to redress
infringement of any LICENSED PATENT, STS shall bear all costs and attorney’s fees, and
shall retain any resulting recovery. NVC agrees to be named if required by law, and to
assist STS as needed. NVC shall have the right to appear by counsel of its own
selection at NVC’s expense. Furthermore, if during the course of such legal proceedings
STS elects to propose or offer the Product as part of its response to a government
procurement, either as a prime contractor or subcontract, and it is determined that
other than the payment of royalty fees STS would be awarded the contract, then NVC and
STS agree to discuss mutually beneficial solutions for reducing the competitive
disadvantage STS would experience against the alleged infringer due only to the payment
of royalty fees.

	VI.	 	NOTICES 
	 
	 	 	Any notice that is required to or may be given under this AGREEMENT shall be deemed duly
given if given in writing and dispatched by prepaid first class, registered or certified
mail addressed to the party notified at its address stated in the Preamble to this
AGREEMENT, Each party reserves the right to change that address from time to time by notice
so given.
	 
	VII.	 	DURATION

	 	A.	 	Except as otherwise provided, the term of this License shall remain in effect
at least through June 1, 2010.

5

 

Exhibit 10.12

	 	B.	 	Unless otherwise indicated, this AGREEMENT and the sublicense granted under it
shall remain in effect subject to payment under paragraph Ill and shall be binding on
the parties until the expiration of twelve (12) months from the effective date of the
AGREEMENT in the event there is no contract(s) award(ed) save for a minimum of fifty
(50) of the Product.
	 
	 	C.	 	In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated, STS has the right to sell and use,
for one year after termination, any inventory of Product then on hand. All such sales
and use shall be subject to reporting and royalty payments as though termination had
not occurred.

	VIII.	 	NON-USE OF NAMES

without the prior written consent obtained from NVC in each case.
	 
	 	B.	 	NVC agrees not to use the name of STS or STS’s parent or affiliates for
publicity or advertising purposes without the prior written consent obtained from STS
in each case.

	IX.	 	SEVERABILITY
	 
	 	 	Should any part or provision of this AGREEMENT be held invalid, unenforceable or in conflict
with the law of any jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining parts or provisions shall
not be affected by such holding.
	 
	X.	 	APPLICABLE LAW
	 
	 	 	This AGREEMENT shall be deemed to have been made and entered into in pursuance to the
statutes and the laws of the United States and the State of Illinois, and such laws shall be
deemed to be controlling upon the parties.
	 
	XI.	 	MISCELLANEOUS

EXHIBIT 10.25

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this 1st day of January, 2003, by and between Gibraltar Steel
Corporation, a Delaware corporation with offices at 3556 Lake Shore Road, Buffalo, New York 14219
(the “Company”) and Neil Lipke, an individual having an address at 53 Kenton Avenue, Hamburg, New
York 14075 (hereinafter referred to as the “Consultant”).

RECITALS:

     Effective as of December 30, 2002, the Consultant resigned, to pursue other interests, from
his position as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and from his positions as Senior
Executive Vice President and Secretary of the Company. The Company and the Consultant acknowledge
and agree that they will mutually benefit from a consulting arrangement whereby the Consultant
will perform consulting services to the Company for a period of five (5) years following the
termination of the Consultant’s employment with the Company.

     The Company and the Consultant desire to set forth in writing the terms and conditions upon
which the Consultant will provide consulting services to the Company.

CONSIDERATION:

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained, the parties hereto agree and contract as follows:

     1. Term. The period during which the Consultant shall be obligated to provide the
consulting services required to be provided by this Agreement (the “Term”) shall begin on
January 1, 2003, (hereinafter the “Effective Date”) and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to
Section 12 hereof, shall end on December 31, 2007.

     2. Consulting Services. The Consultant hereby agrees that during the Term of this
Agreement he shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, perform such consulting
services (“Consulting Services”) as the Company may require. The Consulting Services to be
performed by the Consultant shall be executive in nature. The specific projects with respect to
which the Consultant shall be required to perform the Consulting Services and the scope of the
Consulting Services shall be determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in consultation
with the Consultant.

     3. Availability. The Consultant hereby agrees that during the twelve (12)
consecutive month period which begins on the Effective Date and during each successive twelve
(12)consecutive month period beginning on any anniversary of the Effective Date, the Consultant
shall be available to perform the Consulting Services for the Company during the Company’s normal
business hours and during such other times as are reasonably requested by the Company and
reasonably necessary for the proper performance of his responsibilities hereunder; provided
that:(a) in no event shall the Consultant be obligated to perform Consulting Services for the
Company for more than one hundred (100) business days (of eight (8) hours per day) during any
such twelve (12) consecutive month periods; and (b) in no event shall the number of business days
(of eight (8) hours per day) which the Consultant is required to perform in any calendar month
which elapses during any such twelve (12) consecutive month period exceed fifteen (15) business
days.

     4. Consulting Fees. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, for each twelve
(12) consecutive calendar month period which elapses during the Term, the Company shall pay the
Consultant an annual consulting fee (hereinafter the “Annual Consulting Fee”) of One Hundred
Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000), which Annual Consulting Fee shall be paid to the
Consultant, in the manner described in Section 4(c) below, in substantially equal installments
for each calendar month which elapses during the Term of this Agreement (the aggregate amount
payable to the Consultant for any calendar month being hereinafter the “Monthly Consulting Fee”).

          (b) In the event that the Consultant dies or suffers a disabling condition which, in the
good faith judgment of the Company, renders him unable to perform the Consulting Services (such
disabling condition being hereinafter a “Total and Permanent Disability”), the Company shall,
notwithstanding such death or disability of the Consultant, continue to pay the Consultant (or,
in the case of the Consultant’s death, the Consultant’s beneficiary), the full amount of the
Monthly Consulting Fee to the Consultant (or, in the case of

8

 

the Consultant’s death, the Consultant’s beneficiary) until the earlier of: (i) the end of the six
(6) calendar month period following the date of the Consultant’s death or Total and Permanent
Disability; and (ii) the end of the Term.

          (c) Payment of the Monthly Consulting Fee provided for in Section 4(a) and (b) above shall be
made in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company which are in effect for employees of
the Company’s Buffalo, New York headquarters.

          (d) The Monthly Consulting Fee required to be paid to the Consultant pursuant to this Section
4 shall be payable whether or not the Consultant provides Consulting Services for fifteen (15)
business days per calendar month during the Term of this Agreement; provided that the reason that
the Consultant has not provided fifteen (15) business days of Consulting Services per calendar
month is that the Consulting Services which the Company has requested the Consultant to perform do
not require the Consultant to provide Consulting Services for fifteen (15) business days per
calendar month.

     5. Group Insurance Benefits. During the Term, the Company shall procure and maintain
for the Consultant (including the payment, on behalf of the Consultant, of all applicable premiums
necessary to procure and maintain for the Consultant) the following insurance type benefits at the
same coverage and benefit levels which were in effect with respect to the Consultant on December
31, 2002: (a) group medical insurance coverage; (b) life insurance coverage; (c) long term
disability insurance coverage; (d) accidental death and dismemberment coverage; and (e) business
travel accident insurance coverage. In the event that the Consultant suffers a Total and Permanent
Disability, the Company shall continue to provide the Consultant the insurance coverages described
in this Section 6 until the end of the period described in Section 4(b) above. In addition, in the
event of the death of the Consultant, the Company shall provide group medical insurance coverage to
the Consultant’s spouse for a period of Six (6) months following the Consultant’s death.

     6. Office Space. During the Term, the Company shall, at no charge to the Consultant,
provide the Consultant with an office at the Company’s Buffalo, New York headquarters and shall
furnish such office with such office furniture as may be reasonably requested by the Consultant. In
addition, during the Term, the Company shall make available to the Consultant, secretarial services
and support staff to the extent reasonably required for the Consultant to efficiently perform the
Consulting Services required to be performed hereunder.

     7. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Consultant for reasonable and
necessary business expenses incurred in connection with his performance of this Agreement, all
in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures then in effect (including, but not
limited to, those relating to documentation and receipts).

     8. Independent Contractor. The Consultant will at all times be an independent
contractor and not an employee of the Company. The manner in which the Consultant renders the
Consulting Services to the Company will be within his sole control and discretion, although he
agrees to cooperate with the Company’s personnel and use his best efforts on behalf of the Company
within the broad scope of his services. The Consultant recognizes and agrees that he is not subject
or entitled to any benefits, wages, or other terms and conditions of employment or otherwise under
the policies, practices and procedures of the Company, its employees, agents and successors in
interest as they may apply to employees of the Company or any of its direct or indirect
subsidiaries or affiliates.

     9. Warranties. The Consultant warrants that the Consulting Services to be performed by him hereunder will be performed in a professional and
workmanlike manner in conformity with this Agreement and that he will comply with all applicable
laws, rules, regulations and standards of any public authority having jurisdiction in performing
the Consulting Services.

     10. No Third Party Obligation. The Consultant hereby represents to the Company that
he does not have and will not undertake any express or implied obligation to any third party
which in any way conflicts with any of his obligations to the Company. The Consultant agrees not
to perform or agree to perform any services for any third party which are similar in nature to
the Consulting Services if the performance by the Consultant of such services would in any way
conflict with any of his obligations to the Company hereunder.

     11. Agreement Not to Compete. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of
one (1) year following the expiration of the Term or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement
as provided for by Section 12 below, the Consultant will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage,
operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be
connected as an officer, employee, partner, member, director or otherwise with, or have any
financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of, any business which competes
with any business conducted by the Company or with any group, division or subsidiary of the
Company; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be deemed to prohibit
the Consultant from owning two percent (20) or less of the voting stock of any publicly held
corporation.

9

 

     12. Termination. (a) In the event of the Consultant’s death or Total and
Permanent Disability during the Term, the Company’s obligation to pay the Annual Consulting
Fee to the Consultant (or, in the case of the Consultant’s death, the Consultant’s
beneficiary) shall end at the end of the period described in Section 4(b) above.

          (b) In the event that: (i) the Consultant repeatedly fails or refuses to perform Consulting
Services reasonably requested by the Company; or (ii) the Consultant violates any of the
provisions of Section 11 above, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Consultant’s
right to perform the Consulting Services and be paid the Annual Consulting Fee effective thirty
(30) days following the delivery by the Company to the Consultant of a written notice of
termination which sets forth the effective date of the termination and the reason (as set forth in
(i) or (ii) above) that the Company is terminating this Agreement and the Consultant’s right to
perform the Consulting Services and be paid the Annual Consulting Fee. Upon termination of the
Consultant’s right to perform the Consulting Services and be paid the Annual Consulting Fee as
described above in this Section 12(b), the Company’s obligation to pay the Annual Consulting Fee
(and any further installments thereof) to the Consultant shall end.

     13. Governing Law. The interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts of law
provisions. Each party hereby agrees that any claims, demands, lawsuits, proceedings and
controversies arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be brought and heard in federal or
state courts of general jurisdiction located in the State of New York, and each party hereby
consents to the subject matter and personal jurisdiction of such courts in respect thereof.

     14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, reports, statements or other
communications required to be given hereunder or relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of service if personally served on the party to
whom notice is given, or on the date of receipt if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be
given, by first class mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or
by overnight mail, and properly addressed to the other party at the address for such other party
first set forth above. Either party may at any time direct in writing that all communications or
particular communications or particular types of communications be delivered to specific designees
other than those specified herein by notifying the other party in the manner specified herein.

     15. Entire Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement constitute the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous
communications or agreements, either oral or written, between the parties concerning the subject
matter hereof. There are no understandings, representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever,
except as expressly set forth herein.

     16. Waivers. The failure of any party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provisions, nor in any way affect
the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce
any such provisions. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach, whether of the same provision or otherwise.

     17. Assignment. The obligations of the Consultant under this Agreement are personal in
nature. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder nor delegate or
otherwise transfer any of its obligations in connection herewith without the, prior written consent
of the other party hereto; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right at any time,
and without the consent of the Consultant, to assign this Agreement to its parent or any affiliate
or subsidiary or any successor to its business. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives, heirs and
permitted assigns.

     18. Amendment. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of the terms
or conditions thereof shall be binding upon any party unless approved in writing by an authorized
representative of such party.
