the Change of Control, and such resignation shall be effective on the 60th day following such written notice (unless the Company and Giannelli agree to a different effective date). Upon such a resignation, the Company shall continue to pay to
Giannelli, as severance hereunder, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the salary he would have received if his employment had continued from the date of termination to December 31, 2013, or (ii) twelve months salary. Such severance

subject to normal withholding. 

  

	 	i.	Regardless of the reason for termination, Giannelli shall have such rights as may be provided by COBRA and as may be provided pursuant to any retirement plan, which is qualified
pursuant to ERISA and in which Giannelli participates. 

  

	 	10.	OPTIONS 

  

	 	a.	The Options, which have remained in the possession of the Company, are hereby released to Giannelli. In the event of an exercise by Giannelli of the Options, the Company agrees to
pay Giannelli a bonus equal to $221,000. Additionally, if Giannelli is forced to pay additional tax on the above bonus as compared to the tax Giannelli would have paid if he exercised the Options at a strike price of $1.22, the Company agrees to
reimburse Giannelli for such additional amount. 

  

	 	11.	CONFIRMATION OF TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION IN ROYALTY INCENTIVE PROGRAM 

  

	 	a.	Prior to entering into the Original Agreement, Giannelli participated in the Company’s Royalty Incentive Program. Under the Original Agreement, Giannelli had certain rights to
revert to the Royalty Incentive Program, which rights Giannelli is waiving and releasing in full by the execution and delivery of this Agreement. In consideration of such waiver and release, and Giannelli’s confirmation that no sums are or will
become owing to him under such program or any similar arrangement or understanding with the Company, the Company is paying to Giannelli the sum of $299,407.38.

	 	b.	In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, including without limitation the geographic or business scope or duration
thereof, this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid or unenforceable. 

  

	 	c.	This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter and all such agreements, arrangements and
understandings are hereby rendered of no further force and effect. 

  

	 	d.	It is expressly agreed that this Agreement shall survive any change in control of the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation or in the event the Company is not
the surviving corporation or the change in control is affected through the sale of assets, then the terms of this Agreement shall be disclosed to any purchaser. 

  

	 	e.	The failure of either party at any time to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no way effect the right at a later time to enforce the same.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Amended and Restated Management Employment Agreement on
