6. Severance Payments.

(a) Entitlement to Severance Payments. Subject to Section 6(b), if the Executive’s employment terminates pursuant to a termination without Cause (pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv)) or the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason (pursuant to Section 5(a)(v)), then provided that the Executive’s termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” as defined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h):

(i) the Company shall pay/distribute the following severance payment (“Severance Payment”) to the Executive, an amount equal to the Annual Base Salary for six (6) months (the “Severance Period”), payable over the Severance Period at the same time and in the same manner as such Annual Base Salary would have been paid if the Executive had remained in active employment until the end of the Severance Period in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices as in effect on the date of termination of the Executive’s employment; and

(ii) Executive shall be entitled to continue coverage under the Company’s group health plan as required by Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”). The Company shall pay Executive’s (and her eligible dependents’) premiums under COBRA until the earlier of (A) six months following the Date of Termination or (B) the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under another group health plan (the “COBRA Payment Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines that its payment of COBRA premiums on the Executive’s behalf would result in a violation of applicable law (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of paying COBRA premiums pursuant to this Section 6(a)(ii), the Company shall pay the Executive on the last day of each remaining month of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for such month, subject to applicable tax withholding (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment”), such Special Severance Payment to be made without regard to the Executive’s payment of COBRA premiums.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment terminates pursuant to a termination without Cause (pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv)) or resignation for Good Reason (pursuant to Section 5(a)(v)), (x) during any period when the Company is party to a binding agreement obligating the Company to enter into a transaction or series of transactions that, when consummated, will constitute a Change in Control or (y) on or within two years following the date of a Change in Control, then the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to twelve months of Annual Base Salary, which amount shall be paid in a single installment on the sixtieth (60^th) day following the Date of Termination to the extent such payment does not result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 409A of the Code and the COBRA Payment Period shall be the earlier of twelve months following the Date of Termination or the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under another group health plan.

6

(b) Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under Section 6, unless the Executive, executes and does not revoke the release of claims in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (and such release becomes effective and irrevocable) within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the payments due under Section 6(a)(i) shall be payable commencing on the Company’s first payroll date occurring on or after the 30th day following the Date of Termination (the “First Payroll Date”), and any amounts that would otherwise have been paid pursuant to such Section 6(a)(i) prior to the First Payroll Date shall be paid in a lump-sum on the First Payroll Date.

(c) Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto which shall have accrued hereunder prior to such expiration.

(d) Mitigation of Damages. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amount payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. Neither the Executive nor the Company shall be liable to the other party for any damages in addition to the amounts payable under Section 6 arising out of the termination of the Executive’s employment prior to the end of the Term (except as provided in Section 9).

7. Restrictive Covenants. Defined terms used in this Section 7 have the meanings given such terms in Exhibit B to this Agreement.

During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit any Customer of the Company as defined in Exhibit B for the purpose of selling or providing any products or services competitive with those offered by the Company.

(e) Construction of this Section. In the event the terms of this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

8. Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. Defined terms used in this Section 8 have the meanings given such terms in Exhibit B to this Agreement.

8

The obligations under this Section 8 shall remain in effect as long as the information constitutes a Trade Secret or Confidential Information under the definitions set forth in this Agreement and/or applicable law.

(b) Return of Materials. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with Company for any reason and upon the Company’s request, the Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the Company’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes and/or which contain proprietary information or trade secrets. Executive shall keep her cellular phone and phone number.

(c) Work Product. The Executive’s employment duties may include inventing in areas directly or indirectly related to the Business of the Company or to a line of business that the Company may reasonably be interested in pursuing. All Work Product as defined in Exhibit B shall constitute work made for hire. If: (a) any of the Work Product may not be considered work made for hire; or (b) ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to the Work Product will not vest exclusively in the Company, then, without further consideration, the Executive assigns all presently-existing Work Product to the Company, and agrees to assign, and automatically assign, all future Work Product to the Company. The Company will have the right to obtain and hold in its own name copyrights, patents, design registrations and continuations thereof, proprietary database rights, trademarks, rights of publicity, and any other protection available in the Work Product. At the Company’s request, the Executive agrees to perform, during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company, any acts to transfer, perfect and defend the Company’s ownership of the Work Product, including, but not limited to: (a) executing all documents (including a formal assignment to the Company) for filing an application or registration for protection of the Work Product (an “Application”); (b) explaining the nature of the Work Product to persons designated by the Company; (c) reviewing Applications and other related papers; or (d) providing any other assistance reasonably required for the orderly prosecution of Applications.

(c) Response to Legal Process. The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, and shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought and shall assist such counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process.

(d) Certain Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Executive from reporting possible violations of Federal law or regulation to any United States governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or any other whistleblower protection provisions of State or Federal law or regulation (including the right to receive an award for information provided to any such government agencies). Furthermore, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 1833, the Company hereby notifies the Executive that, notwithstanding anything to the

9

contrary herein: (a) the Executive shall not be in breach of this Agreement, and shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law (i) for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; and (b) if the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney, and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

9. Injunctive Relief.

It is recognized and acknowledged by the Executive that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8 will cause irreparable damage to Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief.

10. Binding on Successors.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business or the assets of the Company. The Executive may not assign the Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement other than the Executive’s rights to payments hereunder, which may only be assigned by will or the operation of the laws of descent and distribution.

This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction, and where applicable, the laws of the United States. Executive agrees that any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction for Collier County, Florida. Executive consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and thereby waives: (a) any objection to jurisdiction or venue; or (b) any defense claiming lack of jurisdiction or improper venue, in any action brought in such courts. Executive further acknowledges that the Executive is executing this Agreement in the State of Florida.

15. Entire Agreement.

The terms of this Agreement are intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement. The parties further intend that this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement.

16. Amendments; Waivers.

This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company. By an instrument in writing similarly executed, the Executive or the Company may waive compliance by the other party or parties with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform, provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure.

18. Arbitration.

Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three arbitrators in Collier County, Florida in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 of this Agreement and the Executive hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without the necessity of the Company’s posting any bond. The fees and expense of the arbitrator shall be borne by the Company. The prevailing party in any action or arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs from the other party.

19. Claw-back.

All compensation received by Executive shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company to comply with applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

20. Withholding.

The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement, any federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which the Company is required to withhold.

21. Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service with the Company, the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such separation from service is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in the payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) until the date that is at least six (6) months following the Executive’s separation from service with the Company (or the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code), whereupon the Company will pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amounts that would have otherwise been previously paid to the Executive under this Agreement during the period in which such payments or benefits were deferred. Thereafter, payments will resume in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement, including each payment made after a “separation from service,” will be considered as a right to receive a series of separate payments.

12

This Agreement is intended to be written, administered, interpreted and construed in a manner such that no payment or benefits provided under the Agreement become subject to (a) the gross income inclusion set forth within Code Section 409A(a)(1)(A) or (b) the interest and additional tax set forth within Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B) (together, referred to herein as the “Section 409A Penalties”), including, where appropriate, the construction of defined terms to have meanings that would not cause the imposition of Section 409A Penalties. In no event shall the Company be required to provide a tax gross-up payment to Executive with respect to Section 409A Penalties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in-kind benefits and reimbursements provided under this Agreement during any calendar year shall not affect in-kind benefits or reimbursements to be provided in any other calendar year, other than an arrangement providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, and are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, reimbursement requests must be timely submitted by the Executive and, if timely submitted, reimbursement payments shall be promptly made to the Executive following such submission, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. In no event shall the Executive be entitled to any reimbursement payments after December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. This paragraph shall only apply to in-kind benefits and reimbursements that would result in taxable compensation income to the Executive.

Additionally, in the event that following the date hereof the Company or the Executive reasonably determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Company and the Executive shall work together to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies or procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other commercially reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to (x) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided with respect to this Agreement or (y) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

22. Indemnification.

Company hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to defend Executive from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith as set forth in the By-laws of the Company.

23. Survival.

The obligations, covenants, rights and remedies of the Parties under Sections 6 through 11, 13 and 18 through 23 shall expressly extend beyond and survive termination of this Agreement.

Executive’s signing of this Release without the Executive’s signature having been revoked other than any accrued obligations or other benefits payable pursuant to the terms of the Company’s normal payroll practices or employee benefit plans. Finally, the Executive has not been forced or pressured in any manner whatsoever to sign this Release, and the Executive agrees to all of its terms voluntarily. The Executive is advised that nothing in this Release prevents or precludes the Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by Federal law.
