Broadus, an individual (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive previously entered into an Employee Agreement dated as of September 30, 2008 (the “Prior Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to replace the Prior Agreement in its entirety with this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive wish to set forth their agreement regarding Executive’s employment with the Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for full and adequate consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

Article 1. Employment and Duties.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Company hereby employs the Executive as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. The Executive shall have all of the powers, duties and responsibilities customary to his position as are reasonably necessary to the operations of the Company and as may be assigned to him from time to time by the CEO or Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Executive shall further be responsible for supervising and directing other officers and employees of the Company as determined by the CEO.

The Company shall continue to pay the Executive a Base Salary of not less than Three Hundred Ten Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Seven Dollars and Fourteen Cents ($310,687.14) per year, subject to adjustments in the discretion of the Company. The Company shall further provide to the Executive all benefits to which other executives of the Company are entitled, as commensurate with the Executive’s position, subject to the eligibility requirements and other provisions of such benefits and other perquisites as determined from time to time by the CEO or the Board. Such benefits and perquisites may include bonus, long term incentives, group term life insurance, comprehensive health and major medical insurance, dental and life insurance, disability, automobile allowance and club memberships.

Article 3. Employment Termination and Severance

3.1. (a) Without Cause. During the employment period, other than during a Potential Change in Control Protection Period or within the period ending twenty-four (24) calendar months immediately following a Change in Control as specified in Article 5 below, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for reasons other than Cause, by notifying the Executive in writing of the Company’s intent to terminate with the effective date of termination specified by the Company in the written notice. Upon the effective date of termination under this Article 3.1(a), if the Executive timely signs a General Release and does not revoke or violate such General Release, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Executive (subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding taxes):

(i) A cash amount equal to the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the termination;

(ii) A cash amount equal to the Executive’s actual bonus for the last complete fiscal year prior to the effective date of termination, if any;

(iii) Base Salary and all other benefits due the Executive through the effective date of termination;

(iv) The unpaid bonus, if any, with respect to the last complete fiscal year preceding the effective date of termination (such bonus, if any, to be determined in the manner it would have been determined and payable at the time it would have been payable hereunder had there been no termination of the employment period);

(v) To the extent that the Executive is eligible for and elects to receive medical and/or dental benefits pursuant to the provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) for himself and/or any qualifying beneficiaries, the Company shall pay on the Executive’s behalf, or reimburse the Executive for, the amount of the applicable COBRA premium that exceeds the amount of premium from time to time payable by the Executive for the same level of coverage immediately prior to the effective date of termination. Any such COBRA premium payment by the Company that constitutes taxable income to the Executive shall be grossed up by the Company, assuming an applicable income tax rate of forty percent (40%). Payments under this paragraph shall be made monthly and shall cease at the earlier of (i) the end of the first month in which the Executive (or qualified beneficiary) is no longer eligible for COBRA for any reason (except to the extent that COBRA coverage continues for any qualified beneficiary), or (ii) eighteen (18) months after the Executive’s date of termination. The Executive shall notify the Company as soon as practicable after he ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage due to coverage under the group health plan of another employer; and

(vi) All other rights and benefits that the Executive has vested in prior to or as a result of his termination of employment pursuant to other plans and programs of the Company.

2

(b) Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability (as defined as in the Company’s long-term disability plan), the Company shall be obligated to pay the Executive or, if applicable, the Executive’s estate: The amounts and benefits described in Article 3.1(a) (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), and an additional lump-sum cash payment equal to the Executive’s Base Salary for a period of six (6) months; provided, however, that such lump sum payment shall be offset by any payments under the Company’s short-term disability policy or under any long-term disability plan or insurance program maintained by the Company.

(c) Voluntary Termination. The Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving the Company written notice of intent to terminate. The Executive will receive the amounts and benefits described in Article 3.1(a) (iii), (iv) and (vi), but shall not be paid any bonus with respect to the fiscal year in which voluntary termination occurs.

3.2. General Release. As a condition precedent to receiving any of the payments and benefits set forth in Article 3.1(a)(i), (ii), (iv) or (v) above (the “Severance Benefits”), the Executive (or his estate as the case may be) agrees to execute and return to the Company, and not revoke or attempt to revoke, a general release (a “General Release”) in a form acceptable to the Company, which the Company shall provide to the Executive within five (5) business days following his termination from employment. The Employee shall sign and return the General Release within the reasonable time period designated by the Company, which shall not be less than twenty-one (21) days nor more than forty-five (45) days. The General Release shall (i) release the Company and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all claims that the Executive may have in connection with his employment or termination thereof, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, and (ii) except in the case of the Executive’s death, require the Executive to affirmatively agree not to violate the provisions of Article 4. Any Severance Benefits that would otherwise be provided during the period for review and revocation of the General Release (the “Revocation Period”) will be provided within five (5) business days after the Revocation Period ends, but if such period crosses calendar years, such Severance Benefits shall be provided in the later calendar year. 

3.3. Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause. “Cause” for termination means:

(a) The Executive’s conviction of, entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or no contest to a charge of, or admission of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or

(b) The Executive’s commission of an act constituting fraud, deceit, or material misrepresentation with respect to the Company; or

(c) The Executive’s commission of any negligent or willful act or omission that causes material damage (by reason, without limitation, of financial exposure or loss, damage to reputation or goodwill, or exposure to civil or criminal penalties or to other prosecutorial action by any governmental authority) to the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation thereof; or

3

(d) The Executive’s willful or material violation of any provision of the Company’s Code of Ethics, Conduct and Responsibility; or

(e) Willful and material misstatement knowingly made or caused to be made by the Executive in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority; or

(f) The Executive’s willful or material violation of any of the covenants contained in Article 4, as applicable.

For purposes of this Article 3.3, no act or omission by the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done or omitted in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act or failure to act based upon and consistent with: (i) authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board; or (ii) written advice of counsel for the Company with written notice given by such counsel to the Board prior to such act or failure to act, shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

The effective date of Executive’s termination shall be the date specified by the Company in written notice of termination to the Executive. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Company shall be obligated to pay or provide (A) the Executive’s Base Salary through the effective date of termination, and (B) any other rights and benefits that the Executive has vested in prior to or as a result of his termination of employment under the express terms of an employee benefit plan of the Company, except to the extent that such rights or benefits may be forfeited upon termination for Cause; and the Executive shall immediately thereafter forfeit all other rights and benefits under this Agreement or as a current or former employee of the Company.

3.4. Severance Payment Schedule. Severance Benefits payable in the form of cash to the Executive or the Executive’s estate, pursuant to termination events described in this Article 3, shall be paid in two (2) semi-annual installments, as follows: (a) fifty percent (50%) of the total of the amounts set forth in Articles 3.1(a)(i) and (ii) (the foregoing amounts are hereinafter referred to as a “Severance Installment Payment”), and all amounts set forth in Article 3.1(a)(iii) and (iv), shall be paid within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Revocation Period (the “First Installment”); and (b) the remaining Severance Installment Payment shall be paid on the six (6) month anniversary of the Executive’s termination date . The Company’s obligation to pay Severance Benefits due to the Executive pursuant to this Article 3, to the extent not already paid, shall cease immediately, and such payments will be forfeited, in the event of Executive’s willful or material violation of any of the covenants contained in Article 3 or 4, as applicable.

3.5. Section 409A Compliance. The parties intend and agree that any payments contemplated by this Agreement constituting “deferred compensation” for purposes of Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A shall comply with the requirements of such section.

(a) No deferred compensation payable hereunder shall be subject to acceleration or to any change in the specified time or method of payment, except as otherwise provided under this Agreement and consistent with Code Section 409A. In no event shall the Company have any liability or obligation with respect to taxes for which Executive may become liable as a result of the application of Code Section 409A.

4

(b) Whether the Executive has incurred a termination of employment for purposes of receiving any deferred compensation payment will be determined in accordance with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (or any successor provisions).

(c) Payments in respect of the Executive’s termination of employment under Article 3 or Article 5 are designated as separate payments for Code Section 409A purposes.

(d) To the extent that this Agreement provides for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Executive, such reimbursement shall not be made later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to the Executive in any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the amount of expenses to be reimbursed or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other year.

Article 4. Noncompetition, Confidentiality, Nonsolicitation, and Ownership

4.1. Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation of Consultants, Clients, Customers, etc. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of his employment with the Company, he has or will have access to valuable proprietary information not known to the public that the Company possesses, including but not limited to, methods of operation, business strategies and plans, financial information, marketing materials, ideas, trade secrets, customer contacts and other customer information (“Proprietary Information”). The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Company has legitimate business interests in assuring that his unique knowledge of the Company, including but not limited to that knowledge regarding and relating to the foregoing information, is not disclosed or converted to the use of entities or individuals in competition with the Company. The Executive therefore agrees that during the employment period and for a period of one (1) year after the date of termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause as set forth in Article 3.1(a) above, he will not, directly or indirectly, compete with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates by providing services or by being an officer, director, employee, consultant, agent, advisor, shareholder or owner to or of any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity that is a “Competing Business,” except that he may have an ownership interest of up to two percent (2%) of a Competing Business which is a public company. As used herein, a “Competing Business” is any business whose activities relate to the products or services of the same or similar type as the products or services which are sold (or, pursuant to an existing business plan, will be sold) to paying customers of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and for which the Executive has the responsibility to plan, develop, manage, market, or oversee, or had any such responsibility within the Executive’s most recent twenty-four (24) months of employment with the Company immediately prior to termination of employment with the Company. Following termination of employment, the Executive may request in writing an exception to the foregoing provision from the Company for prospective employment, which exception will be granted if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that such prospective employment will not unduly or materially compete with or otherwise interfere with the business of the Company. The restrictions on competition and solicitation as set forth in this paragraph shall not apply in the event that the Executive terminates employment pursuant to Article 3.1(c) of this Agreement.

5

In addition to the foregoing, the Executive agrees that, for a period of one (1) year after the date of termination or cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, he will not, directly or indirectly, intentionally entice, induce or solicit, or attempt to entice, induce or solicit, any individual or entity having a current or prospective business relationship with the Company, whether as a consultant, client, customer or otherwise, to terminate or cease such relationship with the Company, or to fail to enter into or renew such relationship with the Company.

The parties agree that the above restrictions on competition and solicitation are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason. The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition shall not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition. Additionally, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Article 4.1 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions herein are expressly assignable to any successor of the Company as set forth in Article 6(b).

4.2. Nonsolicitation of Employees. During the employment period and for a period of one (1) year after the termination or cessation of his employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, the Executive shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or entity: (a) directly, indirectly, or through a third party hire or cause to be hired; (b) directly, indirectly, or through a third party solicit; or (c) in any manner attempt to influence or induce any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor shall he use or disclose to any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity any information obtained concerning the names and addresses the Company’s employees. The Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the Company has confidentiality and non-competition agreements with certain of its employees, and he agrees that he will not interfere with any such agreements. The parties agree that the above restrictions on hiring and solicitation are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason. The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on hiring and solicitation shall not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on hiring and solicitation. Additionally, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Article 4.2 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable.

6

4.3. Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the Executive agrees: (a) to treat all Proprietary Information in a secret and confidential manner, take all reasonable steps to maintain such secrecy, and comply with all applicable procedures established by the Company with respect to maintaining the secrecy and confidentiality of Proprietary Information; (b) to use Proprietary Information only as necessary and proper in the performance of the Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company; and (c) except as necessary and proper in the performance of the Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company, to not directly or indirectly, without the written consent of the Company, reproduce, copy, disseminate, publish, disclose, provide or otherwise make available to any person, firm, corporation, agency or other entity, any Proprietary Information except as necessary and proper in the performance of the Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company. Under no circumstances shall the Executive use, directly or indirectly, any such Proprietary Information for his personal gain or profit.

4.4. Nondisparagement. During the employment period and at all times thereafter, the Executive agrees to not disparage the Company or otherwise make comments harmful to the Company’s reputation.

4.5. Ownership. The Executive agrees that all inventions, copyrightable material, business and/or technical information, marketing plans, customer lists, and trade secrets that arise out of the performance of this Agreement are the property of the Company.
