excluding any periods of vacation, sick leave or disability, the Executive agrees to devote his full business time, attention and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. During the Term, it shall not be a violation of this
Section&nbsp;1.2 for the Executive to (a)&nbsp;serve on civic or charitable boards or committees (but not corporate boards), (b)&nbsp;deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements or (c)&nbsp;manage personal investments, so long as such
activities do not interfere with the performance of the Executive&#146;s responsibilities in accordance with this Agreement. The Executive must request the Board&#146;s prior written consent to serve on a corporate board, which consent shall be at
the Board&#146;s reasonable discretion and only so long as such service does not interfere with the performance of his responsibilities hereunder. </P>

continues at-will, other than Articles VI and VII, which shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, non-renewal of the Term shall not trigger any of the payments set forth in

during the Term, 90% of such increased amount). The base salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board for increase (but not decrease, except as permitted above) as part of its annual compensation review, and any increased amount shall become the

not less than 112.5% of his then-applicable Base Salary; <U>provided</U>, <U>however</U>, the Executive&#146;s bonus under the Annual Incentive Plan with respect to work performed during the 2014 calendar year shall be pro-rated based on the number

Plan, the Executive must be employed on the date of payment of such bonus. Amounts payable under the Bonus Plan shall be determined by the Board and shall be paid following such fiscal year and no later than two and one-half months after the end of
such fiscal year. In addition, the Executive shall be eligible to receive such additional bonus or incentive compensation as the Board may establish from time to time in its sole discretion. Any bonus or incentive compensation under this
Section&nbsp;2.3 under the Bonus Plan or otherwise is referred to herein as &#147;<U>Incentive Compensation</U>.&#148; Stock-based compensation shall not be considered Incentive Compensation under the terms of this Agreement unless the parties
