 In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Termination of Employment and Consideration. 
 (a) Termination of Employment Relationship. As of January 31,
2007 (the “Separation Date”), Hollister terminated his employment with the Company without Good Reason. In exchange for Hollister’s execution of this Agreement, including the Release in Section 4 and the Extension
