     1.1 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have previously entered into that certain Executive Employment Agreement, as Amended and Restated as of December 31, 2010 (the "Employment Agreement"), which provides for the Executive's employment as President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company.

     1.2 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have determined to enter into this Agreement to allow for an orderly transition arising from Executive's planned separation, effective as of the Separation Date defined below, to effectuate Executive's separation from the Company and to provide for the release of any claims related to Executive's employment with and separation from the Company.

     ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     2.1 Termination of Employment. As a result of Executive's planned separation from the Company, the Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate and the Executive shall cease to be an employee and/or officer of the Company, effective as of the earlier of (i) the announcement of the hiring of a successor President and/or Chief Executive Officer (including an appointment on an interim basis), (ii) the date of Executive's death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (iii) March 31, 2014 (the "Separation Date"). Executive shall receive payment for all salary earned through the Separation Date, as well as for all accrued, unused vacation time and reimbursement of any unpaid reimbursable expenses owed by the Company through the Separation Date, which amounts shall be paid to Executive in a lump-sum cash payment within 30 days of the Separation Date. From and after the date hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and replace the provisions of Section 4 of the Employment Agreement.

     2.2 Termination of Employment Agreement. As of the Separation Date, the Employment Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, and neither the Company nor the Executive shall have any further obligations thereunder; provided, however, that the Company's obligation to pay the accrued obligations set forth in Section 2.1 above and Executive's obligations referenced in Section 2.11 hereof shall survive such termination of the Employment Agreement. Until the Separation Date, the Employment Agreement (other than the provisions of Section 4 thereof) shall remain in full force and effect.

     2.3 Severance Benefits. In consideration of, and subject to and conditioned upon the Executive's execution and non-revocation of this Agreement (as defined below in Section 2.20(c)), and subject to the Executive's continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, the confidentiality and non-solicitation covenants described in Section 2.11 and cooperation provision described in Section 2.12 below, upon termination of Executive's employment pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive the following payments and benefits:

     (a) Severance Pay. A lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to (i) $1,345,833, which amount the parties acknowledge and agree represents one and a half years (or eighteen months) of Executive's current base salary and an amount equal to an additional 30 days of compensation at the Executive's current salary rate pursuant to the notice provision under Section 4.1.5 of the Employment Agreement; plus (ii) if the Separation Date occurs prior to March 31, 2014, the amount of base salary that would have been payable to Executive during the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on March 31, 2014. Payment of the severance amount shall be made in a single lump-sum cash payment within 30 days of the Separation Date.

     (b) A lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to that which the Executive is eligible to receive under the Company's CEO Annual Incentive Performance Plan for 2013, calculated as though Executive remains employed by the Company as of the end of the calendar year. Such payment shall not be reduced by any provision of the Annual Incentive Performance Plan which would require Executive to be employed as of a specific date or would permit the Company to reduce Executive's payment under the Annual Incentive Performance Plan. Such payment shall be made in a single lump-sum cash payment on the date on which such amount would otherwise be payable pursuant to such plan (e.g., no later than the 74^th day following the end of calendar 2013).

     (c) A grant of shares of common stock of the Company described herein, which grant shall be made to Executive no later than 30 days following the Separation Date. The number of shares of common stock issued to Executive shall be equal to the "Deemed Option Grant Value" (as defined below) divided by the Company's closing stock price as reported on the NYSE on the Separation Date (or if no such price is reported on the Separation Date, the last day prior to the Separation Date on which such price is reported). The "Deemed Option Grant Value" shall be equal to the Black-Scholes value (determined as of the Separation Date) of an annual award of 120,000 stock options that the Executive would have otherwise been eligible to receive under the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, using the same procedure and methodology as was used for determining the number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to Executive during 2013.

     (d) As of the Separation Date, all unvested stock options and unvested Restricted Stock (including those granted pursuant to Section 2.3(c)), shall become immediately vested in full. All stock options shall remain exercisable throughout any period during which

2

Executive is a director or consultant to the Company (and for such period thereafter as is provided in the Company's Equity Incentive Plan). Except as provided in this Agreement, Executive acknowledges and agrees that he shall have no further additional grants under the Equity Incentive Plan, including but not limited to further grants of stock options or Restricted Stock.

     (e) Change of Control Payments: In the event that (i) a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement, provided such transaction must also constitute a "Change in Control" under the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (as defined below)) occurs pursuant to an agreement fully executed prior to March 31, 2014, and (ii) the severance benefits payable assuming Section 4.2.7.2 of the Employment Agreement applies (calculated using Executive's current base salary) exceed the severance benefits payable pursuant to Section 2.3(a), then the Company shall pay to Executive the amount of severance payable pursuant to Section 4.2.7.2 of the Employment Agreement, rather than the amount payable pursuant to Section 2.3(a).

     2.4 Consulting Agreement. Company and the Executive shall enter into a consulting agreement with Executive pursuant to which Executive shall consult with the Company for a twelve-month period beginning on the later of the Separation Date or the date on which Executive ceases being a member of the board of directors of the Company (provided, such period shall begin no later than the date of the Company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2015), in exchange for monthly payments of $5,000.

     2.5 Impact of Death or Disability. In the event that the Separation Date occurs due to the Executive's death or Disability, (i) the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced or adjusted, and (ii) all such consideration shall be paid to Executive's heirs, estate or legal representative, as applicable.

     2.6 Section 409A. The parties agree that Executive's separation from the Company is a "separation from service" as defined in Section1.409A-1(h)(ii) of the Treasury regulations adopted pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This Agreement is intended by the parties and shall be interpreted in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and Treasury regulations thereunder. The tax treatment of the amounts or benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement, however, is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by the Executive, including but not limited to the application of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, prior to payment, any amount or benefit payable under this Agreement, including without limitation the amounts payable in Section 2.3 hereof, is determined to constitute non-exempt deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code by reason of Executive's separation from service during a period in which he is a "specified employee" (as defined by Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder), then any such amounts that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period following Executive's separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following

3

Executive's separation from service (or, if Executive dies during such period, within 30 days after Employee's death), in a lump sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Executive during such period. If, subsequent to payment, it is determined that any amount or benefit paid under this Agreement constituted non-exempt deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, the Executive shall have sole responsibility for any and all additional tax obligations that may result from such a determination.

     2.7 Release. The Executive shall execute and deliver to the corporate secretary of the Company a release of claims in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Release"), not later than the expiration of the Revocation Period (as defined in Section 2.20(c). Executive agrees that the right to receive the payments and benefits set forth herein are subject to the Company's receipt of an executed Release.

     2.8 Other Claims. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has filed no claims, lawsuits, charges, grievances, or causes of action of any kind against the Company and/or the Released Parties (as defined in the Release). Further, Executive represents and warrants that Executive has no knowledge of any violations of the federal securities laws (including whistleblower provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act).

     2.9 Retirement Benefits: Any retirement benefits payable to the Executive as a result of his employment with the Company shall be based on the terms and conditions of the retirement plans (including the Salary Continuation Plan) in which he has participated during his employment with the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to modify in any way the terms and conditions of those retirement plans (including the Salary Continuation Plan).

     2.10 Successors. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the Executive, except that Executive retains any right to transfer any Award, as defined and provided for under the Equity Incentive Plan in which Executive participated during his employment with the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

     2.11 Surviving Covenants in Prior Agreements. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Executive is bound by certain covenants set forth in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Executive hereby reaffirms the covenants and provisions set forth in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 6 of the Employment Agreement shall survive the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company and shall remain in full force and effect, for the period set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with Executive's role as a member of the board of directors or as a consultant following the Separation Date, the Executive may keep in his possession items of Company property that are identified by the Company as appropriate for such role.

Nothing in this Agreement or the Release is intended to modify or limit Executive's rights to indemnification (or advancement of expenses related to indemnification) pursuant to the Company's articles of incorporation, bylaws, any indemnification agreement between the Company and Executive or applicable law. The Company shall maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Separation Date the current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company (or comparable replacement policies) covering acts or omissions of Executive on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, not less favorable to Executive than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof.

Arbitration shall be by a single arbitrator chosen by the parties; provided that, if the parties fail to agree and to appoint a single arbitrator within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date a party has made a demand for arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with JAMS rules then in effect. Except as provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings.

     (b) Waiver of Jury Trial. By submitting a dispute to arbitration, the parties hereto understand that they will not enjoy the benefits of a jury trial. Accordingly, the parties hereto expressly waive the right to a jury trial.

     (c) Nonexclusive Remedy. The arbitration requirement does not prohibit the Company from exercising its right to pursue injunctive relief or other provisional remedies provided under the law in any court having competent jurisdiction.

     2.15 Public Announcement. The parties shall mutually agree upon the language of any public announcement regarding this Agreement and Executive's separation; provided, however, that the Executive agrees and acknowledges that no such agreement is required for any disclosures made by the Company to the extent legally required in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
