Effective Date and Term of Employment.  As of the first date stated above (“Effective Date”), the Executive shall serve as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”). The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to be employed by the Company as the Company’s President, CEO, and COO until the first to occur of the following events: a) the voluntary termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive as specified in subparagraph 4.3 below; b) the Executive resigns for Good Reason as specified in subparagraphs paragraphs 4.5 and 5.5 of this Amended Agreement; c) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause as specified in subparagraph 4.2 of this Amended Agreement; d) the death or disability of the Executive as specified in subparagraph 4.4 of this Amended Agreement occurs; or e) the

2.

Duties and Responsibilities.  The Executive agrees to work for the Company as its President, CEO, and COO, performing all of the duties and responsibilities inherent in such positions.  As the President, CEO, and COO, the Executive shall report to the Company’s Board of Directors and shall be subject to the supervision thereof, and Executive shall have such authority as is delegated by the Board, which authority shall be sufficient for Executive to perform all of the duties of the three offices referenced herein.  The Board shall include Executive in the slate of Directors presented to the Stockholders in connection with the 2015 annual meeting.  Executive shall be based at the Company’s offices in Wilmington, MA and shall devote Executive’s full business time and reasonable best efforts in the performance of the foregoing services; provided, however, that Executive may work remotely from home for up to two days per week. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.4, Executive may accept other board memberships or service with other charitable organizations that are not in conflict with Executive’s primary responsibilities and obligations to the Company.

3.

Compensation and Benefits.

3.1

Salary.  The Company has prior to the Effective Date hereof and shall continue to pay Executive a base salary of $10,384.62 every two weeks (i.e., at an annualized rate of $270,000 per year), payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices (the “Base Salary”).  The Base Salary thereafter shall be subject to annual review and adjustment, as determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee of the Board) in its sole discretion on the anniversary of the Commencement Date each year of the Agreement Term, provided, however, that the Base Salary may not be decreased without the Executive’s consent unless the compensation payable to all executives of the Company is similarly reduced.  

3.2

Annual Incentive.  For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus in an amount up to $135,000, as and to the extent approved by the Board of Directors based on its consideration of Executive’s performance during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 and in subsequent fiscal years, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus in an amount up to $135,000, subject to Executive achieving any performance milestones that are established and approved by the Board of Directors within 60 days following the beginning of such fiscal year.  The bonus(es), if payable, shall be calculated and paid within 30 days after the end of the fiscal year in which such bonus was earned; provided, however, that the Company may delay the calculation and payment of any portion of such bonus which is based on the attainment of a revenue, earnings or similar milestone until the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year in question.

3.3

Long-Term Incentives.  The Company previously, in 2011, granted the Executive certain stock options in connection with his service as a consultant to the Company (“Initial Options”), and that grant was consistent with the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan (“2004 SOP”).  The Initial Options are now fully-vested and exercisable by Executive.  In



2




September 2012, and in March and July 2014, the Company granted the Executive additional stock options pursuant to the 2004 SOP (“At Risk Options”), which options are also subject to the Change in Control Plan adopted in September 2012 (“Control Plan”).  The Executive’s 2012 At Risk Options are now fully vested and exercisable; the 2014 At Risk Options are partially vested and exercisable as of the Effective Date hereof.  Executive and Company acknowledge and agree that the Executive’s Initial and At Risk Options are and shall be governed in all respects by the 2004 SOP, as the same may be amended from time to time and by the Control Plan, as amended from time to time; provided however that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2004 SOP or the Control Plan, as amended, in the event a Change in Control occurs, as such term is defined in the Control Plan, then the latest date(s) by which Executive may exercise his Initial and At Risk Options shall not accelerate but shall remain as stated in the respective stock option grants unless the Executive consents in writing to a shorter time period.  To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this Amended Agreement and either the 2004 SOP and the Control Plan (as either is amended), the provisions of this Amended Agreement shall control.

3.4

Fringe Benefits.  Executive shall be entitled to participate in all bonus and benefit programs that the Company establishes and makes available to its executive employees, if any, to the extent that Executive’s position, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make Executive eligible to participate, including, but not limited to health care plans, short and long term disabilities plans, life insurance plans, retirement plans, and all other benefit plans from time to time in effect.  Executive shall also be entitled to take four (4) weeks of fully paid vacation in accordance with Company policy.

3.5

Reimbursement of Certain Expenses.  Executive shall be reimbursed for such reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by Executive while Executive is employed by the Company, which are directly related to the furtherance of the Company’s business, including compensation under the Company’s standard policies if Executive uses his personal vehicle for Company business where such business is more than one hundred fifty (150) miles from the Company’s main offices or Executive’s home, wherever such trip commences.  Executive will be furnished with a corporate credit card for business expenses. The Executive must submit any request for reimbursement no later than ninety (90) days following the date that such business expense is incurred in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy regarding same and business expenses must be substantiated by appropriate receipts and documentation.  The Company may request additional documentation or a further explanation to substantiate any business expense submitted for reimbursement, and retains the discretion to approve or deny a request for reimbursement. If a business expense reimbursement is not exempt from Section 409A of the Code, any reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the amount that may be reimbursed in any other calendar year and a reimbursement (or right thereto) may not be exchanged or liquidated for another benefit or payment.  Any business expense reimbursements subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such business expense is incurred by the Executive.

3.6

Indemnification.  The Company shall continue to indemnify Executive to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Organization and the Company’s By-laws, each as they may be amended or restated from time to



3




time.  The Company shall maintain Directors’ & Officers’ liability policies issued by one or more insurance companies that are rated AAA by A.M. Best Co. for as long as Executive is an officer and/or Director of the Company.  Each such policy shall identified Executive as an insured person with respect to each of the three offices/positions he holds pursuant to this Amended Agreement, and each policy (or combination of policies, if applicable) shall contain limits of coverage specifically approved by Executive The indemnification and insurance coverage referred to in this subparagraph 3.6 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment by the Company.   

3.7

Certain Legal Fees. The Company shall reimburse Executive for the  reasonable legal fees he incurs in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Amended Agreement.

4.

Termination of Employment Period.  The Employment Period shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following:

Termination of the Agreement Term.  There is no stated duration of this Amended Agreement, which may be terminated on the terms specified in subparagraphs 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4 below.

4.2

Termination for Cause.  At the election of the Company, upon its determination there is “Cause” to do so, upon written notice by the Company to Executive.  For the purposes of this Section, “Cause” for termination shall be deemed to exist upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a)

Executive’s conviction or entry of nolo contendere to any felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, fraud or embezzlement of Company property; or

(b)

Executive’s dishonesty, gross negligence or gross misconduct that is materially injurious to the Company or material breach of his duties under this Agreement, which has not been cured by Executive within 10 days (or longer period as is reasonably required to cure such breach, negligence or misconduct) after he shall have received written notice from the Company stating with reasonable specificity the nature of such breach; or

(c)

Executive’s illegal use or abuse of drugs, alcohol, or other related substances that is materially injurious to the Company.


4.3

Voluntary Termination by either the Company or the Executive.  At the election of the Company or Executive, without Cause and for any reason including but not limited to Good Reason (as those capitalized terms are defined herein and collectively, “Voluntary Termination”), upon forty-five (45) days prior written notice delivered by one party to the other as set forth herein; provided, however, that the Company and Executive may mutually agree to a shorter notice period, which shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay the Executive his regular compensation and benefits during said entire forty-five (45) day notice period.  On and as of the effective date of such Voluntary Termination (i.e., forty-five (45) days after delivery of notice or an earlier date as mutually agreed), the Executive shall tender in writing his resignation from and be relieved of his duties for the positions/offices from which his

employment is terminated.  Executive’s election to resign for Good Reason is subject to the notice and cure periods set forth in subparagraph 5.5 below, but the same do not apply to any other Voluntary Termination.

5.

Effect of Termination.

5.1

Termination for Cause, or at Executive’s Death or Disability.  In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause (as defined in subparagraph 4.2 above), the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement other than to pay to Executive his Base Salary and accrued vacation through the last day of Executive’s actual employment by the Company.   In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated upon Executive’s death or disability (as defined in subparagraph 4.4 above), the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement other than (i) to pay to Executive, in a single lump sum upon the effective date of such termination, his Base Salary and accrued vacation through the effective date of such termination and (ii) to pay to Executive, in a single lump sum, a pro rata portion of any bonus (to the extent earned prior to such termination) for the fiscal year in which termination occurs, pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Amended Agreement.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive dies or is determined to be fully disabled after the date of the event that triggers payment(s) to Executive pursuant to the Control Plan (as amended), all such payments shall be paid to the Executive or his estate.

5




date of termination, except as provided below, for twelve (12) months from the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment as referenced herein, and (z) in  addition to the foregoing amounts, the Company shall pay Executive in a single lump sum, a pro rata portion of any bonus (to the extent earned prior to such termination) for the year in which termination occurs, pursuant to Section 3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to any overriding laws, the Company shall not be required to provide any health care, dental, disability or life insurance benefit otherwise receivable by Executive if Executive is actually covered or becomes covered by an equivalent benefit (at the same cost to Executive, if any) from another source.  Any such benefit made available to Executive shall be reported to the Company.

5.3

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended Agreement with respect to the timing of payments under Section 5, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination, the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then only to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, any payments to which the Executive may become entitled under Section 5 which are subject to Section 409A of the Code (and not otherwise exempt from its application) will be withheld until the first business day of the seventh month following the effective date of termination, on which date the Executive shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to six months of payments otherwise due to the Executive under the terms of Section 5, as applicable.  After the first business day of the seventh month following the date of termination and continuing each month thereafter, the Executive shall be paid the regular payments otherwise due to the Executive in accordance with the terms of Section 5, as thereafter applicable.

5.4

Upon Executive’s termination pursuant to subparagraphs 4.3 or 4.4 of this Amended Agreement, all Initial and At Risk Options (collectively, “the Options”) then held by Executive shall become fully vested and shall be exercisable as of the date of Executive’s termination; provided however, the time period within which Executive may exercise some or all of said Options shall not be shortened or accelerated without Executive’s express written consent but shall instead remain as stated in the respective stock option grants.  

5.5

As used in this Amended Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without Executive’s written consent, (a) a “material diminution” (as such term is used in Section 409A of the Code) of the duties assigned to Executive (provided, however, that no termination of Executive’s service as a member of the Board, regardless of the reason therefor, shall constitute a “material diminution” of Executive’s duties for purposes of this Section 5.5); (b) a material reduction in Base Salary or other benefits (other than a reduction or change in benefits generally applicable to all executive employees of the Company); (c) relocation to an office more than 50 miles further from Executive’s  current residence in Massachusetts than the Company’s current location in the greater Boston area is located from such residence; (d) a “Change of Control” of the Company, as that term is defined in the Control Plan; or (e), the acquisition (other than an acquisition directly from the Company) by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (the “Voting Stock”); provided, however, that any acquisition by the Company or its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or its subsidiaries of



6




(i) 50% or more of the then outstanding Voting Stock, or (ii) Voting Stock which has the effect of increasing the percentage of Voting Stock owned by any such individual, entity or group to 50% or more of the then outstanding Voting Stock,  shall not constitute a Change of Control.  Notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in this Section 5.5, no event or condition shall be deemed to constitute Good Reason unless (i) Executive reports the event or condition which the Executive believes to be Good Reason to the Board, in writing, within 45 days of such event or condition occurring and (ii) within 30 days after the Executive provides such written notice of Good Reason, the Company has failed to fully correct such Good Reason and to make the Executive whole for any such losses.

5.6

The provisions of this Section 5 and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and administered consistent with such intent. To the extent required for compliance with Section 409A, references in this Agreement to a “termination of employment” shall mean a “separation of service” as defined by Section 409A. It is further intended that each installment of the payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A. Neither the Company nor Employee shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A.

8




(d)

Patents.  Executive will assist the Company in obtaining, maintaining and enforcing patents and other proprietary rights in connection with any Invention covered by Section 6.2.  Executive further agrees that his obligations under this Section shall continue beyond the termination of his employment with the Company, but if he is called upon to render such assistance after the termination of such employment, he shall be entitled to a fair and reasonable rate of compensation for such assistance.

Exhibit A


1.

Your Release of Claims.  By signing this Agreement, you hereby agree and acknowledge that, for good and valuable consideration, you are waiving your right to assert any and all forms of legal claims against the Company1/ of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, arising from the beginning of time through the date you execute this Agreement (the “Execution Date”).  Except as set forth below, your waiver and release herein is intended to bar any form of legal claim, complaint or any other form of action (jointly referred to as “Claims”) against the Company seeking any form of relief including, without limitation, equitable relief (whether declaratory, injunctive or otherwise), the recovery of any damages, or any other form of monetary recovery whatsoever (including, without limitation, back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, attorneys fees and any other costs) against the Company, for any alleged action, inaction or circumstance existing or arising through the Execution Date.


Without limiting the foregoing general waiver and release, you specifically waive and release the Company from any Claim arising from or related to your prior employment relationship with the Company or the termination thereof, including, without limitation:


**

Claims under any state or federal discrimination, fair employment practices or other employment related statute, regulation or executive order (as they may have been amended through the Execution Date) prohibiting discrimination or harassment based upon any protected status including, without limitation, race, national origin, age, gender, marital status, disability, veteran status or sexual orientation.  Without limitation, specifically included in this paragraph are any Claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act and any similar Federal and state statute.


**

Claims under any other state or federal employment related statute, regulation or executive order (as they may have been amended through the Execution Date) relating to wages, hours or any other terms and conditions of employment.  


**

Claims under any state or federal common law theory including, without limitation, wrongful discharge, breach of express or implied contract, promissory estoppel, unjust enrichment, breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of public policy, defamation, interference with contractual relations, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, misrepresentation, deceit, fraud or negligence.


**

Any other Claim arising under state or federal law.

1/

 For purposes of this Agreement, the Company includes the Company and any of its divisions, affiliates (which means all persons and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company), subsidiaries and all other related entities, and its and their directors, officers, employees, trustees, agents, successors and assigns.

You acknowledge and agree that, but for providing this waiver and release, you would not be receiving the economic benefits being provided to you under the terms of this Agreement.   You further acknowledge that this release does not waive any claims you cannot by law waive and does not release any claims that arise after its execution.


It is the Company’s desire and intent to make certain that you fully understand the provisions and effects of this Agreement.  To that end, you have been advised and given the opportunity to consult with legal counsel for the purpose of reviewing the terms of this Agreement.  Also, because you are over the age of 40, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, allows you at least twenty-one (21) days to consider the terms of this Agreement.  ADEA also allows you to rescind your assent to this Agreement if, within seven (7) days after you sign this Agreement, you deliver by hand or send by mail (certified, return receipt and postmarked within such 7 day period) a notice of rescission to the Company. The eighth day following your signing of this Agreement is the Effective Date.


Also, consistent with the provisions of Federal law, nothing in this release shall be deemed to prohibit you from challenging the validity of this release under the discrimination laws (the “Federal Discrimination Laws”) or from filing a charge or complaint of employment-related discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or any state fair employment practices agency, or from participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or any state fair employment practices agency.  Further, nothing in this release or Agreement shall be deemed to limit the Company’s right to seek immediate dismissal of such charge or complaint on the basis that your signing of this Agreement constitutes a full release of any individual rights under the Federal Discrimination Laws, or to seek restitution to the extent permitted by law of the economic benefits provided to you under this Agreement in the event that you successfully challenge the validity of this release and prevail in any claim under the Federal Discrimination Laws.
