NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:


1.

  Employment .  The Company agrees to employ the Executive as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of the Board of Directors, and the Executive accepts the employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. During the Employment Term and any Renewal Terms, as those terms are hereinafter defined, the Executive shall devote his best efforts, knowledge and skill. The Executive will have the rights, duties and obligations customarily associated with the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of a comparably sized public company and will report directly to the Board of the Company.


2.

Term of Employment; Renewals; Termination .


2.1

Term.

The employment hereunder shall commence on the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”), and shall continue until the end of the Employment Term, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The “Employment Term” shall mean the period commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing until the 1 year anniversary of the Commencement Date.


2.2    Automatic Renewals upon Expiration of Employment Term .  Following the expiration of the Employment Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for terms of one (1) year (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either the Company or the Executive provides to the other not less than thirty (30) days’ notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the Employment Term or any Renewal Term.   In the event of such an automatic renewal, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to each such Renewal Term.






2.3

Termination For Cause .  The employment of the Executive may be terminated by the Company at any time for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (i) the occurrence of a breach of any material covenant contained in this Agreement by the Executive and the failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following Executive’s receipt of written notice with respect thereof; or (ii) Executive’s willful malfeasance, gross negligence or gross or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties hereunder after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Executive specifying the basis of such neglect and the failure of the Executive to correct such neglect; or (iii) the Executive’s theft or embezzlement from the Company; or (iv) the Executive’s conviction of a felony under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States; or (v) a final order by the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to the Executive that could reasonably be expected to impair or impede the Executive from performing the functions and duties contemplated by this agreement.  


2.4

Termination upon Death or Disability . This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of the Executive’s death or Permanent Disability.  “Permanent Disability” is defined as physical or mental incapacity resulting in the absence from or inability to properly perform his duties hereunder (as determined by the Company) on a full time basis of the Executive for ninety (90) consecutive days, provided the Executive has met the requirements to receive benefits under any long term disability policy then maintained by the Company and applicable to the Executive.  Returns to work for periods of less than one (1) week shall not toll the passing of the time required to establish Permanent Disability hereunder.  In the event of termination due to death or Permanent Disability, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive’s Base Salary (defined below) for twelve (12) months following such termination, but the Executive shall be entitled to no other compensation or benefits.
