      attract and retain qualified and competent persons who are key employees of
      the
      Company, directors and officers (whether or not employees) and consultants
      to
      the Company and upon whose efforts and judgment the success of the Company
      is
      largely dependent, through the encouragement of stock ownership in the Company
      by such persons.

      aggregate of up to One Hundred Thousand (100,000) Shares from Shares held in
      the
      Company’s treasury or from authorized and unissued Shares. If any Option granted
      under the Plan shall terminate, expire, or be canceled or surrendered as to
      any
      Shares, new Options may thereafter be granted covering such Shares. An Option
      granted hereunder shall be either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory
      Stock Option as determined by the Committee at the time of grant of such Option
      and shall clearly state whether it is an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory
      Stock Option. All Incentive Stock Options shall be granted within 10 years
      from
      the effective date of this Plan.

     

    4. Dollar
      Limitation.
      Options
      otherwise qualifying as Incentive Stock Options hereunder will not be treated
      as
      Incentive Stock Options to the extent that the aggregate fair market value
      (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the Shares, with respect
      to
      which Options meeting the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 422(b)
      are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year
      (under all plans of the Company), exceeds $100,000.

     

    5. Conditions
      for Grant of Options.

     

    (a) Each
      Option shall be evidenced by an option agreement that may contain any term
      deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, provided such terms are not
      inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law. Optionees shall be those
      persons selected by the Committee which may include employees, directors and
      officers (whether or not employees) and consultants to the Company. Any person
      who files with the Committee, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, a written
      waiver of eligibility to receive any Option under this Plan shall not be
      eligible to receive any Option under this Plan for the duration of such
      waiver.

    (b) In
      granting Options, the Committee may take into consideration the contribution
      the
      person has made to the success of the Company and such other factors as the
      Committee shall determine. The Committee shall also have the authority to
      consult with and receive recommendations from officers and other personnel
      of
      the Company with regard to these matters. The Committee may from time to time
      in
      granting Options under the Plan prescribe such other terms and conditions
      concerning such Options as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation,
      (i) prescribing the date or dates on which the Option becomes exercisable,
      (ii)
      providing that the Option rights accrue or become exercisable in installments
      over a period of years, or upon the attainment of stated goals or both, or
      (iii)
      relating an Option to the continued employment of the Optionee for a specified
      period of time, provided that such terms and conditions are not more favorable
      to an Optionee than those expressly permitted herein.

     

    (c) The
      Options granted to employees under this Plan shall be in addition to regular
      salaries, pension, life insurance or other benefits related to their employment
      with the Company. Neither the Plan nor any Option granted under the Plan shall
      confer upon any person any right to employment or continuance of employment
      by
      the Company.

     

    (d) Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Plan, and in addition to any other requirements
      of
      this Plan, Options may not be granted to a Director or Officer unless the grant
      of such Options is authorized by, and all of the terms of such Options are
      determined by, a Committee that is appointed in accordance with Section 13
      of
      this Plan and all of whose members are Disinterested Persons.

     

    6. Option
      Price.
      The
      option price per Share of any Option shall be any price determined by the
      Committee but shall not be less than the par value per Share; provided, however,
      that in no event shall the option price per Share of any Incentive Stock Option
      be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying such Option on
      the
      date such Option is granted.

     

    7. Exercise
      of Options.
      An
      Option shall be deemed exercised when (i) the Company has received written
      notice of such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Option, (ii) full
      payment of the aggregate option price of the Shares as to which the Option
      is
      exercised has been made, and (iii) arrangements that are satisfactory to the
      Committee in its sole discretion have been made for the Optionee’s payment to
      the Company of the amount that is necessary for the Company employing the
      Optionee to withhold in accordance with applicable Federal or state tax
      withholding requirements. Unless further limited by the Committee in any Option,
      the option price of any Shares purchased shall be paid in cash, by certified
      or
      official bank check, by money order, with Shares or by a combination of the
      above; provided further, however, that the Committee in its sole discretion
      may
      accept a personal check in full or partial payment of any Shares. If the
      exercise price is paid in whole or in part with Shares, the value of the Shares
      surrendered shall be their Fair Market Value on the date the Option is
      exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may, on an individual basis or
      pursuant to a general program established by the Committee in connection with
      this Plan, lend money to an Optionee to exercise all or a portion of an Option
      granted hereunder. If the exercise price is paid in whole or part with
      Optionee’s promissory note, such note shall (i) provide for full recourse to the
      maker, (ii) be collateralized by the pledge of the Shares that the Optionee
      purchases upon exercise of such Option, (iii) bear interest at a rate no less
      than the rate of interest payable by the Company to its principal lender, and
      (iv) contain such other terms as the Committee in its sole discretion shall
      require. No Optionee shall be deemed to be a holder of any Shares subject to
      an
      Option unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for such Shares
      are
      issued to such person(s) under the terms of this Plan. No adjustment shall
      be
      made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities
      or
      other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date
      is
      prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as expressly provided
      in Section 10 hereof.

    8. Exercisability
      of Options.
      Any
      Option shall become exercisable in such amounts, at such intervals and upon
      such
      terms as the Committee shall provide in such Option, except as otherwise
      provided in this Section 8.

     

    (a) The
      expiration date of an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time
      of
      grant, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable after the expiration
      of 10
      years from the date of grant of the Option.

     

    (b) Unless
      otherwise provided in any Option, each outstanding Option shall become
      immediately fully exercisable:

     

    (i) if
      there
      occurs any transaction (which shall include a series of transactions occurring
      within 60 days or occurring pursuant to a plan), that has the result that
      stockholders of the Company immediately before such transaction cease to own
      at
      least 51 percent of the voting stock of the Company or of any entity that
      results from the participation of the Company in a reorganization,
      consolidation, merger, liquidation or any other form of corporate
      transaction;

     

    (ii) if
      the
      stockholders of the Company shall approve a plan of merger, consolidation,
      reorganization, liquidation or dissolution in which the Company does not survive
      (unless the approved merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or
      dissolution is subsequently abandoned); or

     

    (iii) if
      the
      stockholders of the Company shall approve a plan for the sale, lease, exchange
      or other disposition of all or substantially all the property and assets of
      the
      Company (unless such plan is subsequently abandoned).

     

    (c) The
      Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the date on which any Option
      may
      be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of any Shares subject to any Option
      or previously acquired by the exercise of any Option.

     

    (d) Options
      granted to Officers and Directors shall not be exercisable until the expiration
      of a period of at least six months following the date of grant.

     

    9. Termination
      of Option Period with respect to Employee Grants.

     

    (a) The
      unexercised portion of an Option granted to an employee of the Company shall
      automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the
      time
      of the earliest to occur of the following:

     

    (i) three
      months after the date on which the Optionee’s employment is terminated or, in
      the case of a Non-Statutory Stock Option, and unless the Committee shall
      otherwise determine in writing in its sole discretion, the date on which the
      Optionee’s employment is terminated, in either case for any reason other than by
      reason of (A) Cause, which, solely for purposes of this Plan, shall mean the
      termination of the Optionee’s employment by reason of the Optionee’s wilful
      misconduct or gross negligence, (B) a mental or physical disability as
      determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, or (C)
      death;

     

    (ii) immediately
      upon the termination of the Optionee’s employment for Cause;

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

       

    

     

    (iii) one
      year
      after the date on which the Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of a
      mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code
      Section 22(e)) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee;
      or

     

    (iv) (A)
      twelve months after the date of termination of the Optionee’s employment by
      reason of death of the employee, or (B) three months after the date on which
      the
      Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the one year period
      specified in Subsection 9(a)(iii) hereof.

     

    (b) The
      Committee in its sole discretion may by giving written notice (“cancellation
      notice”) cancel, effective upon the date of the consummation of any corporate
      transaction described in Subsections 8(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof, any Option that
      remains unexercised on such date. Such cancellation notice shall be given a
      reasonable period of time prior to the proposed date of such cancellation and
      may be given either before or after approval of such corporate
      transaction.

     

    10. Adjustment
      of Shares.

     

    (a) If
      at any
      time while the Plan is in effect or unexercised Options are outstanding, there
      shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares
      through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization
      resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of Shares, then and
      in
      such event:

     

    (i) appropriate
      adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of Shares available for grant
      under the Plan, so that the same percentage of the Company’s issued and
      outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so optioned;
      and

     

    (ii) appropriate
      adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares and the exercise price per
      Share thereof then subject to any outstanding Option, so that the same
      percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject
      to purchase at the same aggregate exercise price.

     

    (b) Subject
      to the specific terms of any Option, the Committee may change the terms of
      Options outstanding under this Plan, with respect to the option price or the
      number of Shares subject to the Options, or both, when, in the Committee’s sole
      discretion, such adjustments become appropriate by reason of a corporate
      transaction described in Subsections 8(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof.

     

    (c) Except
      as
      otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares
      of
      its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital
      stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale or upon the exercise
      of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or
      obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities,
      shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect
      to the number of or exercise price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options
      granted under the Plan.

     

    (d) Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options
      granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of
      the
      Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments,
      recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital
      structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company;
      (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference
      stock that would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Options; (iv)
      the
      dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment
      of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other
      corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
      otherwise.

    11. Transferability
      of Options.
      Each
      Option shall provide that such Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee
      otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Option
      shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the
      Optionee.

     

    12. Issuance
      of Shares.
      As a
      condition of any sale or issuance of Shares upon exercise of any Option, the
      Committee may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee
      may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or
      regulation including, but not limited to, the following:

     

    (i) a
      representation and warranty by the Optionee to the Company, at the time any
      Option is exercised, that he is acquiring the Shares to be issued to him for
      investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the
      distribution of any such Shares; and

     

    (ii) a
      representation, warranty and/or agreement to be bound by any legends that are,
      in the opinion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate to comply with the
      provisions of any securities law deemed by the Committee to be applicable to
      the
      issuance of the Shares and are endorsed upon the Share
      certificates.

     

    13. Administration
      of the Plan.

     

    (a) The
      Plan
      shall be administered by the Committee, which shall consist of not less than
      two
      Directors, each of whom shall be Disinterested Persons to the extent required
      by
      Section 5(d) hereof. The Committee shall have all of the powers of the Board
      with respect to the Plan. Any member of the Committee may be removed at any
      time, with or without cause, by resolution of the Board and any vacancy
      occurring in the membership of the Committee may be filled by appointment by
      the
      Board.

     

    (b) The
      Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations for carrying
      out
      the purposes of the Plan. The Committee’s determinations and its interpretation
      and construction of any provision of the Plan shall be final and
      conclusive.

     

    (c) Any
      and
      all decisions or determinations of the Committee shall be made either (i) by
      a
      majority vote of the members of the Committee at a meeting or (ii) without
      a
      meeting by the unanimous written approval of the members of the
      Committee.

     

    14. Incentive
      Options for 10% Stockholders.
      Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, an Incentive
      Stock Option shall not be granted to any person owning directly or indirectly
      (through attribution under Section 424(d) of the Internal Revenue Code) at
      the
      date of grant, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
      power
      of all classes of stock of the Company (or of its subsidiary [as defined in
      Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code] at the date of grant) unless the
      option price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the
      Shares subject to such Option on the date the Option is granted, and such Option
      by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the
      date
      such Option is granted.

     

    15. Interpretation.

     

    (a) The
      Plan
      shall be administered and interpreted so that all Incentive Stock Options
      granted under the Plan will qualify as Incentive Stock Options under section
      422
      of the Internal Revenue Code. If any provision of the Plan should be held

        6EMPLOYMENT
      AGREEMENT

     

    This
      Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 11, 2006,
      by and between Amish Naturals, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”) and
      Troy Treangen (“Executive”). The parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1. Employment
      and Duties.
      The
      Company shall employ Executive in the position of Vice President of Technical
      Services of the Company (or such other senior executive position as may be
      assigned to him by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)). Executive
      shall report directly to the CEO (or such other persons designated by the
      Company’s CEO) and shall perform all duties and obligations of Vice President of
      Technical Services (or such other senior executive duties assigned to Executive
      from time to time by the Company’s CEO). Executive shall devote his full
      business time, attention and energies exclusively to the business and interests
      of the Company and to the performance of his duties and obligations under this
      Agreement.

     

    2. Term
      of Agreement.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 4, Executive and the Company retain the right
      to
      terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, and with
      or
      without Cause (as defined in Section 4.1.1), and with or without notice. Nothing
      in this Agreement shall be deemed to alter the at-will nature of Executive’s
      employment with the Company, and the at-will nature of Executive’s employment
      shall not otherwise be modified except in a writing signed by both Executive
      and
      the CEO of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of
      Sections 5 and 10 of the Agreement shall survive, and continue in full force
      and
      effect, after any termination or expiration of this Agreement, irrespective
      of
      the reason for the termination or any claim that the termination was wrongful
      or
      illegal.

     

    3. Compensation
      and Other Benefits.
      The
      Company shall provide the following compensation and other benefits to Executive
      in consideration of Executive’s performance of all of his obligations under this
      Agreement:

     

    3.1 Base
      Salary.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 4, the Company shall pay to Executive an annual
      base salary (the “Base Salary”) of $130,000.00, less applicable withholdings.
      The Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s ordinary
      payroll practices in effect during the period of Executive’s employment with the
      Company.

     

    3.2 Incentive
      Compensation.
      For
      each fiscal year of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall be
      eligible to earn a bonus (“Incentive Compensation”), the amount of which, if
      any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
      During the first fiscal year of Executive’s employment with the Company,
      Executive shall be eligible to earn Incentive Compensation, based on achieving
      certain goals to be established by the Board of Directors. The Board of
      Directors, in its sole discretion, shall determine Executive’s Incentive
      Compensation, if any, for each fiscal year thereafter that Executive is employed
      by the Company. Incentive Compensation, if any, shall be paid to Executive
      within forty-five (45) days after the Company’s audited financial statements
      have been issued for the fiscal year in which any such Incentive Compensation
      was earned. Incentive Compensation will not be considered earned for a
      particular fiscal year unless Executive is employed with the Company on October
      1 immediately following the close of that fiscal year. Executive acknowledges
      and agrees that if his employment with the Company is terminated pursuant to
      Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2 or 4.3 below before the Incentive Compensation is
      considered earned, Executive shall not be eligible for payment of Incentive
      Compensation for the fiscal year in which the termination is effective.

    3.3 Stock
      Option Plan.
      Executive shall be eligible to participate in any stock option plan that may
      be
      adopted by the Company for its managerial employees and approved by the
      Company’s Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion (“Proposed
      Stock Option Plan”). The Company shall recommend to the Board of Directors that
      Executive be granted, subject to compliance with all state and federal
      securities laws and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Proposed
      Stock Option Plan, an option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the common
      stock authorized for issuance under the Proposed Stock Option Plan pursuant
      to a
      vesting schedule. The proposed form of grant and vesting schedule is attached
      hereto as Exhibit A.

     

    3.4 Fringe
      Benefits.
      As
      additional compensation under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to
      receive the following benefits (the “Fringe Benefits”):

     

    3.4.1 Employee
      Benefit Plans.
      The
      Company shall allow Executive to participate in such group medical, health,
      pension, welfare, and insurance plans (the “Employee Benefit Plans”) maintained
      by the Company from time to time for the general benefit of its executive
      employees, as such Employee Benefit Plans may be modified from time to time
      in
      the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. 

     

    3.4.2 Other
      Benefits.
      The
      Company shall provide Executive with all other benefits and perquisites as
      are
      made generally available to the Company’s executive employees under the
      Company’s Employee Handbook, as such Employee Handbook may be modified from time
      to time in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

     

    3.4.3 Moving.
      Executive shall receive a lump sum of $30,000 to cover all expenses related
      to
      relocation to Ohio, inclusive of work related expenses to Ohio from executive’s
      current home. The amount will be paid to Executive after 60 days. During this
      period the Company will reimburse the executive for all related expenses, the
      remaining balance paid to the Executive after the 60 day period. The Executive
      agrees to reimburse the Company in full if the Executive chooses to leave the
      Company prior to 3 years from his or her start date. 

     

    3.4.4 Vacation.
      Executive
      shall be entitled to such vacation time as is generally made available to the
      Company’s executive employees under the Company’s employment policies, as such
      employment policies may be modified from time to time in the Company’s sole and
      absolute discretion; provided, however, that in no event shall Executive accrue
      vacation time at a rate which is less than three (3) weeks per year; provided
      further, that Executive may not accrue more than two times Executive’s annual
      vacation allotment. Executive will cease accruing vacation if Executive reaches
      the maximum accrual amount, and will commence accruing vacation again only
      after
      Executive has used enough vacation to fall below the maximum.

      of Business Expenses. The
      Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel, entertainment
      and
      other expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance
      of his duties under this Agreement, upon submission by Executive to Company
      of
      reasonable documentation pertaining to such expenses.

      Compensation.
      Any
      deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
      Revenue Code) payable under this Agreement on Account of Executive’s separation
      from service shall not commence prior to six months following such separation
      if
      Executive is a key employee (within the meaning of Section 409A); provided,
      however, that, in determining whether Executive is a key employee, any
      compensation realized on account of the exercise of a stock option or a
      disqualifying disposition of stock acquired through the exercise of an incentive
      stock option shall be disregarded.

     

    4. Termination
      or Expiration of Agreement.

     

    4.1 Termination
      at Company’s Election.
      The
      Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, for any reason or no
      reason, with or without Cause (as defined in Section 4.1.1), and with or without
      notice, subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. 

     

    4.1.1 Termination
      for Cause.
      If
      Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause (as hereinafter defined),
      Executive shall be entitled to receive only the following: (i) payment of
      Executive’s Base Salary through and including the date of termination; (ii)
      payment of any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation for the prior fiscal
      year pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2; (iii) payment for all accrued and
      unused vacation time as of the date of termination; and (iv) reimbursement
      of
      business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination. Except as expressly
      set forth in this Section 4.1.1, Executive shall not be entitled to receive
      any
      Base Salary, Incentive Compensation or Fringe Benefits in the event Executive’s
      employment is terminated for Cause, except that Executive may continue to
      participate in the Employee Benefit Plans to the extent permitted by and in
      accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise required by law. As used
      in
      this Agreement, Cause shall be defined as: (a) a material breach by Executive
      of
      any term of this Agreement; (b) an intentional refusal or failure to follow
      the
      lawful and reasonable instructions of the CEO or an individual to whom the
      CEO
      instructed the Executive to report (as appropriate); (c) a willful or habitual
      neglect of duties; (d) misconduct on the part of Executive that is materially
      injurious to the Company, including, without limitation, misappropriation of
      trade secrets, fraud or embezzlement; or (e) Executive’s conviction for fraud,
      theft or a felony involving moral turpitude. In the case of clauses (a) through
      (c), Executive fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of Executive’s
      receipt of written notice from the Company; provided,
      however,
      that
      such cure period shall not be applicable if, in the case of clause (a), the
      Company, in its sole discretion, has determined that such breach is not capable
      of being fully cured; provided,
      further,
      that,
      upon the second occurrence of a breach of under clauses (a) through (c), no
      such
      cure period need be extended to Executive. 

     

    4.1.2 Termination
      Without Cause.
      If
      Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause, Executive shall receive:
      (i) payment of Executive’s Base Salary through and including the date of
      termination; (ii) payment of any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation for
      the prior fiscal year pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2; (iii) payment for
      all accrued and unused vacation time existing as of the date of termination;

      (iv) reimbursement of business expenses incurred prior to the date of
      termination. In addition, Executive shall be eligible to receive a severance
      payment based on Executive’s length of service, less applicable withholdings,
      provided Executive signs a general release of all claims in a form approved

      the Company. The amount of any severance payment shall be based upon the
      following schedule:

     

    
      	
              Length
                of Service

              Up
                to 12 months

    4.2 Termination
      upon Death or Permanent Disability.
      This
      Agreement will terminate automatically on Executive’s death or if Executive
      becomes Permanently Disabled (as defined below). In the event of such
      termination, Executive, or his beneficiary or estate, shall be entitled to
      receive such amounts of the Base Salary, Incentive Compensation and Fringe
      Benefits as would have been payable to Executive under a termination without
      Cause under Section 4.1.2 as of the date of death or the date as of which the
      Company has determined in its sole discretion that Executive has become
      Permanently Disabled. As used in this Agreement, “Permanently Disabled” shall
      mean the incapacity of Executive due to illness, accident, or any other reason
      to perform his duties for a period of 90 calendar days, whether or not
      consecutive, during any 12-month period, all as determined by the Company in
      its
      sole discretion. All Company determinations as to the date and extent of
      incapacity of Executive shall be made by the Company, upon the basis of such
      evidence, including independent medical reports and data, as the Company in
      its
      sole discretion deems necessary and desirable. All such determinations of the
      Company shall be final.

     

    4.3 Termination
      at Executive’s Election.
      Executive
      may resign from employment with the Company for any reason by providing written
      notice to the Company prior to the date selected for resignation. If Executive
      resigns from employment, Executive shall be entitled to receive only the
      following: (i) payment of Executive’s Base Salary through and including the date
      of resignation; (ii) payment
      of any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation for the prior fiscal year
      pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2; (iii) payment
      for all accrued and unused vacation time existing as of the date of resignation,
      which will be made at a rate calculated in accordance with Executive’s Base
      Salary at the time of resignation; and (iv) reimbursement of business expenses
      incurred prior to the date of resignation. Except as expressly set forth in
      this
      Section 4.3, in the event Executive resigns from employment, Executive shall
      not
      be entitled to receive any Base Salary, Incentive Compensation, Fringe Benefits
      or other times, except that Executive may continue to participate in the
      Employee Benefit Plans to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the
      terms thereof or as otherwise required by law.

      of Stock Options Upon Termination.
      Any
      options granted to Executive pursuant to the Proposed Stock Option Plan as
      set
      forth in Section 3.3 shall cease vesting on the date of termination of
      Executive’s employment, and, to the extent vested on the date of termination and
      not previously exercised or expired, may be exercised by Executive in accordance
      with the terms and conditions of the Proposed Stock Option Plan.

     

    5. Confidential
      Information and Return of Company Property.

     

    5.1 Confidential
      Information, Inventions, Non-Solicitation.
      Executive acknowledges and agrees to comply with all of the terms of the
      Employee Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (“Confidentiality
      Agreement”) executed by Executive, attached hereto as Exhibit B, during
      Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter as provided in the
      Confidentiality Agreement.

     

    5.2 Company
      Property.

      Executive shall promptly return all Company property to the Company, without
      keeping any copy of any such Company property for himself or any other entity
      or
      individual.

     

    6. Representation
      and Warranties.

      development agreement, non-competition agreement or non-disclosure or
      confidentiality agreement previously entered into by Executive.

     

    7. Severability.
      In the
      event that any provision of this Agreement should be held to be void, voidable,
      unlawful or for any reason unenforceable, the remaining provisions or portions
      of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     

    8. Amendment
      and Waiver.
      No
      provision of this Agreement can be modified, amended, supplemented or waived
      in
      any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by both Executive and
      the
      CEO of the Company. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision
      of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a
      waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach
      by
      such party of any provision of this Agreement.

     

    9. Applicable
      Law.
      This
      Agreement, Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, and any and all
      matters or claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or Executive’s
      employment relationship with the Company, shall be governed by, and construed
      in
      accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio, regardless of the choice of

      provisions of Ohio or any other jurisdiction.

      out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement, Executive’s employment
      relationship with the Company, or the termination of Executive’s employment
      relationship with the Company, including any Claim against any parent,

    10.2 Claims
      Subject to Arbitration.
      Excepting only claims excluded in Section 10.3 below, this Agreement
      specifically includes (without limitation) all claims under or relating to
      any
      federal, state or local law or regulation prohibiting discrimination, harassment
      or retaliation based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age,
      disability or any other condition or characteristic protected by law; demotion,
      discipline, termination or other adverse action in violation of any contract,
      law or public policy; entitlement to wages or other economic compensation;
      any
      Claim for personal, emotional, physical, economic or other injury; and any
      Claim
      for business torts or misappropriation of confidential information or trade
      secrets.

     

    10.3 Claims
      Not Subject to Arbitration.
      This
      Section 10 does not preclude either party from making an application to a court
      of competent jurisdiction for provisional remedies (e.g., temporary restraining
      order or preliminary injunction). This Agreement also does not apply to any
      claims by Executive: (i) for workers’ compensation benefits; (ii) for
      unemployment insurance benefits; (iii) under a benefit plan where the plan
      specifies a separate arbitration procedure; (iv) filed with an administrative
      agency which are not legally subject to arbitration under this Agreement; or
      (v)
      which are otherwise expressly prohibited by law from being subject to
      arbitration under this Agreement. 

     

    10.4 Procedure.
      The
      arbitration shall be conducted in the County of Holmes, Ohio. Any Claim
      submitted to arbitration shall be decided by a single, neutral arbitrator (the
      “Arbitrator”). The parties to the arbitration shall mutually select the
      Arbitrator not later than 45 days after service of the demand for arbitration.
      If the parties for any reason do not mutually select the Arbitrator within
      the
      45 day period, then any party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
      to appoint a retired judge as the Arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted
      in accordance with Ohio Revised Code Annotated sections 2711.01 through 2711.16,
      as amended, except as modified by this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall apply
      the
      substantive federal, state, or local law and statute of limitations governing
      any Claim submitted to arbitration. In ruling on any Claim submitted to
      arbitration, the Arbitrator shall have the authority to award only such remedies
      or forms of relief as are provided for under the substantive law governing
      such
      Claim. The Arbitrator shall issue a written decision revealing the essential
      findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. Judgment on the
      Arbitrator’s decision may be entered in any court of competent
      jurisdiction.

     

    10.5 Costs.
      Executive shall only pay that portion of the fees and costs incurred in the
      arbitration (e.g.,
      filing
      fees and transcript costs) that he would normally pay in the course of
      litigation. All other fees and costs, including the Arbitrator’s fees, shall be
      borne by the Company. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’
fees and costs, except that the Arbitrator shall have the authority to award
      attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party in accordance with the
      applicable law governing the dispute.

    10.6 Interpretation
      of Arbitrability.
      The
      Arbitrator, and not any federal or state court, shall have the exclusive
      authority to resolve any issue relating to the interpretation, formation or
      enforceability of this Section 10, or any issue relating to whether a Claim
      is
      subject to arbitration under this Section 10, except that any party may bring
      an
      action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration in
      accordance with the terms of this Section 10.

     

    11. Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to
      the
      subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
      negotiations, understandings, or agreements between the parties, whether oral
      or
      written, expressed or implied.

     

    12. Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of which shall
      be
      deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
      one and the same instrument.

     

    13. Headings.
      The
      headings of sections and Sections of this Agreement are included solely for
      convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation
