SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

     The undersigned (hereinafter “Subscriber”) hereby confirms his/her/its subscription for the
purchase of a convertible promissory note (“Note”) of NGTV, a California corporation (the
“Company”), on the terms described below and in the Company’s Confidential Private Offering
Memorandum dated October 13, 2005, including the exhibits and attachments thereto (the
“Memorandum”).

     Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set
forth in the Memorandum. The Note and the securities issuable upon conversion of the Note or in
respect of the Note are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Securities.”

In connection with this subscription, Subscriber and the Company agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of the Note.

     (a) The Company hereby agrees to issue and to sell to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby agrees
to purchase from the Company, a Note in the principal amount set forth on the signature page to
this Agreement, for the aggregate subscription amount set forth on the signature page hereto. The
Subscriber understands that this subscription is not binding upon the Company until the Company
accepts it. The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that acceptance of this Subscription will
be made only by a duly authorized representative of the Company executing and mailing or otherwise
delivering to the Subscriber at the Subscriber’s address set forth herein, a counterpart copy of
the signature page to this Subscription Agreement indicating the Company’s acceptance of this
Subscription. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever, to
accept or reject this subscription in whole or in part. Following the acceptance of this
Subscription Agreement by the Company, the Company will promptly issue and deliver to Subscriber a
Note in the principal amount subscribed to against payment in U.S. Dollars of the Purchase Price
(as defined below). If this subscription is rejected, the Company and the Subscriber shall
thereafter have no further rights or obligations to each other under or in connection with this
Subscription Agreement. If this subscription is not accepted by the Company on or before the last
day of the Offering Period, this subscription shall be deemed rejected.

     (b) Subscriber has hereby delivered and paid concurrently herewith the aggregate purchase
price for the Note set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Purchase Price”), which amount has
been paid in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer or check, subject to collection, to the order of “FCC
f/b/o NGTV.”

     (c) Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Note is one of a series of convertible
promissory notes of the Company of like tenor and kind in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$5,000,000, subject to an increase to not more than $6,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”), which
are being offered by the Company on a “best efforts” basis in accordance with

1

 

the Memorandum. No minimum amount of Notes must be sold prior to delivery of offering proceeds to
the Company. Subscriber further understands that at or prior to the closing of this Offering, up
to an additional $3,500,000 in existing debt of the Company will be converted into convertible
promissory notes of the Company, having the same terms and conditions as the Notes (the “Debt
Conversion”). The Debt Conversion is in addition to the aggregate of up to $6,000,000 in Notes
offered by the Company in accordance with the Memorandum.

2. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. Subscriber represents and warrants to the
Company and the Placement Agent as follows:

     (a) Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
Subscriber’s investment in the Securities and has the ability and capacity to protect Subscriber’s
interests.

     (b) Subscriber understands that the Securities are not presently registered, but Subscriber is
entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the Securities, as described in the
Memorandum. Subscriber understands that the Securities will not be registered under the Act on the
ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Section 4(2) of the Act as a transaction by an
issuer not involving any public offering and that, in the view of the Commission, the statutory
basis for the exception claimed would not be present if any of the representations and warranties
of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement or those of other purchasers of the
Securities are untrue or, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations and warranties, the
Subscriber currently has in mind acquiring any of the Securities for resale upon the occurrence or
non-occurrence of some predetermined event.

     (c) Subscriber is purchasing the Securities subscribed for hereby for investment purposes and
not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or
otherwise disposing of all or any part thereof for any particular price, or at any particular time,
or upon the happening of any particular event or circumstance, except selling, transferring, or
disposing the Securities made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Act, the
rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) thereunder, and applicable state securities laws; and that an investment in the Securities
is not a liquid investment.

     (d) Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently
registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is
aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permit resales of common stock
purchased in a private placement subject to certain limitations and to the satisfaction of certain
conditions provided for thereunder, including, among other things, the existence of a public market
for the common stock, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the
resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be
sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a
“market maker” and the number of shares of common stock being sold during any three-month period
not exceeding specified limitations.

2

 

Subscriber understands that there is presently no market for the Company’s securities and there is
no assurance that a market will develop in the future.

     (e) Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from the Company or any authorized person acting on its behalf concerning the
Company and its business and to obtain any additional information, to the extent possessed by the
Company (or to the extent it could have been acquired by the Company without unreasonable effort or
expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of the information received by Subscriber. In connection
therewith, Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has had the opportunity to discuss the Company’s
business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management or any authorized person
acting on its behalf. Subscriber has received and reviewed the Memorandum and all the information
concerning the Company and the Notes, both written and oral, that Subscriber desires. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber has been furnished with or has had the
opportunity to acquire, and to review all information, both written and oral, that Subscriber
desires with respect to the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and prospects. In
determining whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on (i) Subscriber’s own
knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Subscriber’s own due
diligence investigations and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph, and (ii) the
information described in subparagraph 2(g) below. Subscriber understands that no person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not contained in the
Memorandum and Subscriber has not relied on any other representations or information.

     (f) Subscriber has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver
this Subscription Agreement and to carry out and perform Subscriber’s obligations under the terms
of this Subscription Agreement. This Subscription Agreement constitutes a valid and legally
binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of
general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other general principals of equity, whether
such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law.

     (g) Subscriber has carefully considered and has discussed with the Subscriber’s legal, tax,
accounting and financial advisors, to the extent the Subscriber has deemed necessary, the
suitability of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement for
the Subscriber’s particular federal, state, local and foreign tax and financial situation and has
independently determined that this investment and the transactions contemplated by this
Subscription Agreement are a suitable investment for the Subscriber. Subscriber has relied solely
on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
Subscriber understands that Subscriber (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Subscriber’s
own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by
this Subscription Agreement.

     (h) This Subscription Agreement and the Confidential Purchaser Questionnaire accompanying this
Subscription Agreement do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material
fact concerning Subscriber.

3

 

     (i) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against Subscriber or
Subscriber’s assets before any court or governmental agency (nor, to Subscriber’s knowledge, is
there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way Subscriber’s ability to enter into and
fully perform Subscriber’s commitments and obligations under this Subscription Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

     (j) The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Subscription Agreement
and the issuance of the Securities will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, or
constitute a default under, any of Subscriber’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, if
applicable, or any agreement to which Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound, nor result in
the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or
properties of Subscriber or the Securities.

     (k) Subscriber acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a
high degree of risk and that Subscriber can bear the economic risk of the purchase of the
Securities, including a total loss of his/her/its investment.

     (l) Subscriber acknowledges that he/she/it has carefully reviewed and considered the risk
factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Memorandum.

     (m) Subscriber recognizes that no federal, state or foreign agency has recommended or endorsed
the purchase of the Securities.

     (n) Subscriber is aware that the Securities are and will be, when issued, “restricted
securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the general rules and regulations under the Act.

     (o) Subscriber understands that any and all certificates representing the Securities and any
and all securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor shall bear the following
legend or one substantially similar thereto, which Subscriber has read and understands:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE
OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT
AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THIS CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.”

     (p) In addition, the certificates representing the Securities, and any and all securities
issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor, shall bear such legend as may be required by
the securities laws of the jurisdiction in which Subscriber resides.

     (q) Because of the legal restrictions imposed on resale, Subscriber understands that the
Company shall have the right to note stop-transfer instructions in its stock transfer records, and
Subscriber has been informed of the Company’s intention to do so. Any sales, transfers, or

4

 

other dispositions of the Securities by Subscriber, if any, will be made in compliance with the Act
and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

     (r) Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
the Securities and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

     (s) Subscriber represents that: (i) Subscriber is able to bear the economic risks of an
investment in the Securities and to afford a complete loss of the investment, and (ii) (A)
Subscriber could be reasonably assumed to have the ability and capacity to protect his/her/its
interests in connection with this subscription; or (B) Subscriber has a pre-existing personal or
business relationship with either the Company or any affiliate thereof of such duration and nature
as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and
general business and financial circumstances of the Company or such affiliate and is otherwise
personally qualified to evaluate and assess the risks, nature and other aspects of this
subscription.

     (t) Subscriber further represents that the address of Subscriber set forth below is
his/her/its principal residence (or, if Subscriber is a company, partnership or other entity, the
address of its principal place of business); that Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for
Subscriber’s own account and not, in whole or in part, for the account of any other person;
Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for investment and not with a view to the resale or
distribution thereof; and that Subscriber has not formed any entity, and is not an entity formed,
for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.

     (u) Subscriber understands that the Company shall have the unconditional right to accept or
reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason or without a specific reason, in the
sole and absolute discretion of the Company (even after receipt and clearance of Subscriber’s
funds). This Subscription Agreement is not binding upon the Company until accepted in writing by
an authorized officer of the Company. In the event that this subscription is rejected, then
Subscriber’s subscription funds (to the extent of such rejection) will be promptly returned in full
without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

     (v) Subscriber has not been furnished with any oral representation or oral information in
connection with the offering of the Securities that is not contained in, or is in any way contrary
to or inconsistent with, statements made in the Memorandum and this Subscription Agreement.

     (w) Subscriber represents that Subscriber is not subscribing for the Securities as a result of
or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the Internet, television or radio or

     (x) Subscriber has carefully read this Subscription Agreement and the Memorandum, and
Subscriber has accurately completed the Confidential Purchaser Questionnaire which accompanies this
Subscription Agreement.

herein or breaches hereof relating to subparagraphs (i) through (iv) of this Section.

          (vi) Subscriber understands and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary

Exhibit 10.21

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Employment Agreement
(the “Agreement”) is made as of April 10, 2006 (the
“Effective Date”) by and between John Burns (the “Executive”) and NGTV, a
California corporation (the “Company”).

     WHEREAS, the Executive has certain experience and expertise that qualify him to provide the
managerial skills that the Company requires, and thus the Company and Executive deem it in their
respective best interests to enter into an agreement providing for the Executive’s employment as
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, subject to the terms and conditions specified herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Position and Responsibilities. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive
agrees to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive agrees to devote all
of his business time and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder. The Executive shall
be responsible for the management of all aspects of the Company’s operations and finances as
determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. All other executive officers of the
Company shall report to, and their activities shall at all times be subject to the direction and
control of, the Executive except as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. The
Executive shall at all times report to, and his activities shall at all times be subject to the
direction and control of, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”),
and the Executive shall exercise such powers and comply with and perform, faithfully and to the
best of his ability, such directions and duties in relation to the business and affairs of the
Company as may from time to time be vested in or requested of him. The Executive shall not engage
in any other business activity, whether or not for profit, other than passive investments, that may
conflict with the Executive’s duties under this Agreement. Subject to Section 2(C) below, the
Executive shall generally perform his duties and conduct his business at the principal offices of
the Company in Beverly Hills, California.

     2. Compensation: Salary and Other Benefits. During the term of this Agreement, the
Company shall pay the Executive the following compensation for the Executive’s satisfactory
performance of his duties and obligations hereunder:

          (A) Base Salary. The Company will pay to the Executive a monthly salary of $30,000
(the Executive’s “Base Salary”) during the Term of this Agreement. Such Base Salary shall
be payable in conformity with the Company’s customary practices for executive compensation, as such
practices shall be established or modified from time to time. The Base Salary shall be subject to
increase from time to time as approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Base
Salary shall automatically increase annually by an amount no less than 5% of the then current Base
Salary.

 

 

          (B) Cash Bonus. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to an annual
cash bonus based upon his and the Company’s performance during the year (the “Cash Bonus”).
The amount of each Cash Bonus, and the performance objectives and measurements upon which it is
based, shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The Company currently
anticipates that the Cash Bonus shall be, at minimum, 30% of the Executive’s then current Base
Salary (the “Minimum Bonus”) if the Executive achieves the lowest performance targets established
by the Board of Directors. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Minimum Bonus is not a
binding obligation of the Company and that the Cash Bonus may be significantly greater or less than
the Minimum Bonus, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Executive shall be entitled to a
Cash Bonus for the year ending December 31, 2006 (pro rated to reflect the number of days in 2006
in which the Executive was an employee of the Company).

     So long as the Executive has performed his obligations under this Agreement, if annual
performance-based bonuses are awarded by the Board to the Company’s entire executive team with
respect to the year ending December 31, 2006, the Executive shall be entitled to a bonus (pro rated
to reflect the number of days in 2006 in which the Executive was an employee of the Company) for
the year ending December 31, 2006.

          (C) Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all
reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred and advanced by him in carrying out his duties
under this Agreement. Such expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) temporary living
expenses for the Executive in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, up to a maximum of $5,000 per
month, and (ii) the reasonable costs of coach class air-fare from the Executive’s second home in
Napa Valley, California to the Company’s executive offices in Beverly Hills, California (no more
than two roundtrips per month). The Executive shall present to the Company an itemized account of
all expenses in such form as may be required by the Company from time to time.

          (D) Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any
other benefit plans, programs, policies and fringe benefits which may be made available to the
executive officers of the Company generally, including, without limitation, disability, medical,
dental and life insurance and the Company’s 401(k) savings plan.

          (E) Vacation. During the term hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to accrue up to
four (4) weeks of vacation per calendar year. Vacation will accrue at the rate of 1.66 days per
complete month and any accrued but unused vacation time which Executive has failed to take during
the calendar year shall be subject to the Company’s then prevailing vacation policy.

          (F) Tax Withholding. All payments in this Section 2 shall be subject to all
applicable federal, state and local withholding, payroll and other taxes.

     3. Equity.

          (A) Stock Option. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the
Executive will be granted the option to purchase 325,000 shares of the Company’s

2

 

Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.70 per share (the “Stock Option”). The Stock
Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of a stock option agreement (the “Option
Agreement”) and the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The Option Agreement
shall provide, among other things, that 125,000 shares of the Stock Option shall be vested and
exercisable as of the date of the grant of the Stock Option and that 1/24th of the
remaining 200,000 shares of the Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable each month
thereafter (so that all of the shares underlying the Stock Option shall be vested after 24 months),
so long as the Executive remains an employee, consultant or member of the Board of Directors of the
Company.

               (i) Acceleration of Vesting on Change of Control Transaction. In the event of a
Change of Control Transaction (as defined in below) all unvested shares of the Stock Option shall
immediately become vested and fully exercisable.

               (ii) “Change of Control Transaction” means any transaction or series of related
transactions whereby (i) the Company is acquired by another entity (including, without limitation,
any reorganization, merger or consolidation), or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company are sold or transferred; provided, however, that any transaction or series of related
transactions in which the stockholders of the Company prior to the transaction hold more than 50%
of the voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity immediately after the transaction
shall not be a Change of Control Transaction; and provided, further, that the currently
contemplated initial public offering of the Company’s securities shall not be considered a Change
of Control Transaction.

     4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
continue for two years through the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”).
In order for the Company to terminate the Executive at the end of the Term without being required
to pay the Executive the severance required by Section 5(E) below, the Company must provide the
Executive with at least six months’ advance written notice of the Company’s desire to terminate the
Executive at the end of the Term. The Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of the Term,
pursuant to Section 5 below.

     5. Termination. The date upon which this Agreement is deemed to be terminated in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Section 5 is referred to herein as the
“Termination Date”.

          (A) Termination for Cause. The Company has the right and may elect to terminate this
Agreement and the Executive’s employment for Cause at any time. “Cause” means the
occurrence or existence of any of the following: (i) the repeated refusal of the Executive to
render services to the Company in accordance with his obligations under this Agreement; (ii) an act
of gross negligence or a breach of fiduciary duty that materially damages the Company; (iii) the
commission by the Executive of an act of fraud or embezzlement with respect to the Company; (iv)
the conviction or plea of nolo contendere by the Executive of a felony or civil violation involving
moral turpitude; or (vi) the Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement
with the Company (including the Code of Ethics). Termination of this Agreement for Cause pursuant
to this Section 5(A) shall be communicated

3

 

by a Notice of Termination. A “Notice of Termination” shall mean delivery to the Executive
of a copy of a resolution or resolutions duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
two-thirds of the directors (other than the Executive, if the Executive is then serving on the
Board) present (in person or by teleconference) and voting at a meeting of the Board called and
held for that purpose after reasonable notice to the Executive and reasonable opportunity for the
Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board prior to such vote,
finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth
in any of clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 5(A) and specifying the particulars thereof in
reasonable detail. For purposes of this Section 5(A), this Agreement shall terminate on the date
specified by the Board in the Notice of Termination.

          (B) Termination by Death/Disability. This Agreement and the Executive’s employment
shall terminate upon the death of the Executive. If the Executive is unable to perform the
essential duties and functions of his position because of a disability, even with a reasonable
accommodation, the Board shall have the right and may elect to terminate the services of the
Executive in compliance with applicable State and Federal law and provided a notice of such
termination is provided to Executive (the “Notice of Disability Termination”). This Agreement
shall terminate on the day such Notice of Disability Termination is received by the Executive.

          (C) Termination by Resignation. The Executive shall have the absolute right to
terminate his employment at any time.

               (i) Should the Executive wish to resign from his position with the Company for other than Good
Reason (as defined below), the Executive shall give fourteen days prior written notice to the
Company. This Agreement shall terminate on the effective date of the resignation defined above,
however, the Company may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and instruct that the
Executive perform no job responsibilities and cease his active employment immediately upon receipt
of the notice from the Executive.

               (ii) Should the Executive wish to resign from his position with the Company for Good Reason,
the Executive shall give seven days prior written notice to the Company. This Agreement shall
terminate on the date specified in such notice, however, the Company may, at its sole discretion,
instruct that the Executive cease active employment and perform no more job duties immediately upon
receipt of such notice from the Executive.

               (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the continuance of any
of the following events (without the Executive’s prior written consent) for a period of fifteen
days after delivery to the Company by the Executive of a notice of the occurrence of such event:

                    (1) the assignment to the Executive by the Company of duties not reasonably consistent with
the Executive’s positions, duties, responsibilities, title or office at the commencement of the
Term;

4

 

                    (2) any material reduction in the Executive’s duties or responsibilities from what they were
as of the Effective Date;

                    (3) any requirement that the Executive report for work to a location more than 30 miles from
the Company’s current headquarters (other than the Executive’s home in Napa Valley) for more than
30 days in any calendar year, excluding any requirement that results from the damage or destruction
of the Company’s current headquarters as a result of natural disasters, terrorism, acts of war or
acts of God;

                    (4) any reduction in the Base Salary; or

                    (5) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement.

          (D) Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time
without Cause and for any reason, or no reason.

          (E) Severance for Resignation for Good Reason, Termination without Cause, Termination at
End of Term Without Proper Notice. If (a) the Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason pursuant to Section 5(C)(ii) above, (b), the Company terminates the Executive without Cause
at any time or (c) the Company terminates the Executive at the end of Term without having complied
with the notice requirement of Section 4 above, then the Executive shall be entitled to the
following: (i) Base Salary to the extent accrued through the Termination Date; (ii) the Company
shall pay the Executive a lump sum, due and payable within ten days of the Termination Date, equal
to the greater of (x) twelve (12) months of the Executive’s then current Base Salary and (y) the
number of months left in the Term as of the Termination Date multiplied by the Executive’s then
current Base Salary, (iii) payment for accrued but unused vacation time up to the Termination Date;
(iv) statutory benefit continuation rights in accordance with COBRA, if any, provided Executive
makes the appropriate voluntary contribution payments and subject to applicable law and the
requirements of the Company’s health insurance plans then in effect; (v) notwithstanding the
immediately preceding subsection (iv), payment for the Executive’s medical insurance coverage,
which shall be the same level of coverage, and with the same provider, the Executive was receiving
immediately prior to his termination, for the period beginning on the Termination Date and ending
on November 1, 2009; (vi) all unvested shares of the Stock Option shall immediately become vested
and fully exercisable; and (vii) immediate payment of any and all bonuses, including without
limitation the Cash Bonus, paid on a pro rata basis as applicable, that Executive shall have earned
in whole or partially as of the Termination Date.

          (F) Severance for Termination at End of Term With Proper Notice, Termination for
Resignation without Good Reason, Termination for Death/Disability, Termination with Cause. If
(a) the Company terminates the Executive at the end of Term having complied with the notice
requirement of Section 4 above, (b) the Executive resigns without Good Reason pursuant to Section
5(C)(i) above, (c) the Executive is terminated because of death or disability pursuant to Section
5(B) above, or (d) the Executive is terminated for Cause pursuant to Section 5(A) above, the
Executive’s employment shall terminate and the Executive shall be entitled to no payments, salary
continuation, severance or other benefits, except for: (i) Base

5

 

Salary to the extent accrued through the Termination Date; (ii) payment for accrued but unused
vacation time up to the Termination Date; (iii) statutory benefit continuation rights in accordance
with COBRA, if any and as applicable, provided Executive makes the appropriate voluntary
contribution payments and subject to applicable law and the requirements of the Company’s health
insurance plans then in effect; and (iv) in the case of a termination pursuant to subsection (a) of
this Section only, immediate payment of any and all bonuses, including without limitation the Cash
Bonus, paid on a pro rata basis as applicable, that Executive shall have earned in whole or
partially as of the Termination Date.

     6. Board of Director Membership. As of the Effective Date, the Executive shall be
appointed as a member of the Board of Directors. The Executive’s rights, duties and obligations as
a Director (including, without limitation, the process required for any removal of the Executive
from the Board) shall be governed by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, each as
amended from time to time (the “Governing Documents”). None of the Executive’s rights and
benefits under this Agreement, including without limitation, his right to any of the compensation
set forth under Section 2 above and the equity provided in Section 3 above, is in any way
contingent or based upon the Executive serving as a member of the Board of Directors. Similarly,
Executive’s membership on the Board of Directors is not in any way contingent or based upon the
Executive serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and any termination of this Agreement
and/or the end of the Executive’s employment with the Company, whether pursuant to Sections 4 and 5
above or otherwise, shall not apply to the Executive’s membership on the Board of Directors;
provided, however, that if the Executive is terminated for Cause pursuant to Section 5(A) above,
the Executive shall resign his Board of Director membership.

     7. Survival of Certain Provisions. Provisions of this Agreement shall survive any
termination of employment or termination or expiration of this Agreement if so provided herein or
if necessary or desirable to fully accomplish the purposes of such provision. Without limiting the
foregoing, these provisions include without limitation Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22.

     8. Confidentiality. The Employee shall execute, on or prior to the Effective Date,
the Company’s standard Nondisclosure Agreement for all employees.

     9. Parachute Payments. If the Executive is, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
accounting firm jointly selected by the Executive and the Company, required to pay an excise tax on
“excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”)) under Section 4999 of the Code as a result of an acceleration of the
vesting of stock options, the Company shall have an absolute and unconditional obligation to pay
the Executive in accordance with the terms of this Section 9 the amount of such taxes. In addition,
the Company shall have an absolute and unconditional obligation to pay the Executive such
additional amounts as are necessary to place the Executive in the exact same financial position
that he would have been in if he had not incurred any expected tax liability under Section 4999 of
the Code. The determination of the exact amount, if any, of any expected “excess parachute
payments” and any expected tax liability under Section 4999 of the

6

 

Code shall be made by a nationally-recognized independent accounting firm selected by the Executive
and the Company. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. The
determination of such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The Company
irrevocably agrees to pay to the Executive, in immediately available funds to an
account designated in writing by the Executive, any amounts to be paid under this Section 9 within
two business days after receipt by the Company of written notice from the accounting firm which
sets forth such accounting firm’s determination. In addition, in the event that such payments are
not sufficient to pay all excise taxes on “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the
Code as a result of an acceleration of the vesting of options or for any other
reason and to place the Executive in the exact same financial position that he would have been in
if he had not incurred any expected tax liability under Section 4999 of the Code as a result of a
change in control, then the Company shall have an absolute and unconditional obligation to pay the
Executive such additional amounts as may be necessary to pay such excise taxes and place the
Executive in the exact same financial position that he would have been had he not incurred any tax
liability as a result of a change in control under the Code.

     10. Indemnification/Directors and Officers Insurance. The Company shall indemnify the
Executive to the maximum extent given to members of the members of the Board of Directors and
certain other executive officers of the Company, as provided in the Governing Documents and in a
separate indemnification agreement between the Executive and the Company. The Company shall
obtain, maintain and continue to pay premiums on directors and officers liability insurance from a
financially sound and reputable insurer in an amount determined by the Board of Directors, provided
that such amount shall not be below the standard for similar companies.

     11. Entire Agreement. The provisions contained herein constitute the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior
agreements, understandings and communications between the parties, oral or written, with respect to
such subject matter.

     12. Modification. Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any provisions
of this Agreement shall not be valid unless in writing and signed by both the Executive and the
Company.

     13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared to be invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
remaining provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

     14. Assignment. The Executive may not assign any of his rights or delegate any of his
duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may not assign any
of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Executive, except that any successor to the Company by a Change of Control Transaction shall assume
this Agreement.

     15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the successors in interest of the Executive and the Company.

concerning or relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company, or the termination of the

action brought hereunder. The Company shall pay the cost of any arbitration proceedings under this
Agreement if the Executive prevails in such arbitration on at least one substantive issue.
