For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following circumstances without the Executive’s prior written consent: (a) a substantial and material adverse change in the nature of Executive’s title, duties or responsibilities with the Company (other than as a director of the Company) that represents a demotion from his title, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change (such change, a “Demotion”); (b) material breach of this Agreement by the Company; (c) a failure by the Company to make any payment to Executive when due, unless the payment is not material and is being contested by the Company, in good faith; (d) a change of the principal office or work place assigned to the Executive to a location more than 35 miles distant from its location immediately prior to such change; (e) a material reduction of the Executive’s Base Salary or bonus opportunity, unless pursuant to a reduction in such items applicable proportionally to all senior management and board members; (f) a liquidation, bankruptcy or receivership of the Company; or (g) any reason or no reason following a Change of Control (as defined in the Restricted Common Stock Agreement and Indemnification Agreement) and the Executive’s notice of resignation under this subsection is provided to the surviving entity following a Change of Control within the 60-day period following the closing of the Change of Control . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Good Reason” shall be deemed to exist with respect to the Company’s acts described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above, unless Executive shall have given written notice to the Company within a period not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days of the initial existence of the occurrence, specifying the “Good Reason” with reasonable particularity and, within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice, the Company shall not have cured or eliminated the problem or thing giving rise to such “Good Reason”; provided, however, that no more than two cure periods shall be provided during any twelve-month period of a breach of clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above. Upon such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive the amount set forth in Section 4.6(c).

(c) Payment Upon Termination by Company Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason . In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.4 or 4.5, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive hereunder except for: (i) the Base Salary (at the rate in effect immediately before Executive’s termination or resignation, as applicable) due Executive pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof for twelve (12) months from the date of termination or twenty-four (24) months in the event of a Change of Control that occurred within 60 days of termination, payable in accordance with Section 3.1; (ii) any Bonus which would have become payable under Section 3.2 for the year in which the employment was terminated prorated by multiplying the full amount of the Bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of “full calendar months” worked by Executive during the year of termination and the denominator of which is 12 (a “full calendar month” is a month in which the Executive worked at least two weeks); (iii) the Base Salary due Executive pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof through the date of termination; (iv) all valid expense reimbursements; (v) to the extent the Executive timely elects to receive continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to the full monthly premium for such coverage, from the date of termination until the earlier of (a) the date twelve (12) months following the date of termination, and (B) the date of Executive becoming eligible for coverage under a new employer’s health insurance plan (the COBRA health care continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) shall run concurrently with the foregoing period); and (vi) all accrued but unused vacation pay, subject, in the case of clause (i) and (ii), to Executive’s compliance with Section 5 and to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company, its affiliates and their respective officers and directors in a form provided by the Company and such release becoming effective,.

(d) Executive shall have no duty to mitigate awards paid or payable to him pursuant to this Agreement, and any compensation paid or payable to Executive from sources other than the Company will not offset or terminate the Company’s obligation to pay to Executive the full amounts pursuant to this Agreement.

5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition .

(a) As a result of his employment with the Company, Executive will obtain secret and confidential information concerning the business of the Company and its subsidiaries (referred to collectively in this Section 5 as the “Company”), including, without limitation, financial information, proprietary rights, trade secrets and “know-how,” customers and sources (“Confidential Information”).

(b) The Company will suffer substantial damage which will be difficult to compute if, during the period of his employment with the Company or thereafter, Executive should enter a business competitive with the Company or divulge Confidential Information.

(c) The provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business of the Company.

5.2 Confidentiality . Executive agrees that he will not at any time, during the Term or thereafter, divulge to any person or entity any Confidential Information obtained or learned by him as a result of his employment with the Company, except (i) in the course of performing his duties hereunder, (ii) with the Company’s prior written consent; (iii) to the extent that any such information is in the public domain other than as a result of Executive’s breach of any of his obligations hereunder; or (iv) where required to be disclosed by law, regulation, stock exchange rule, court order, subpoena or other government process.

5.3 Documents . Upon termination of his employment with the Company, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the business of the Company and all property associated therewith, which he may then possess or have under his control; provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled to retain copies of such documents reasonably necessary to document his financial relationship with the Company.

5.4 Non-competition . During the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, or two (2) years thereafter in the event of a Change of Control, Executive, without the prior written permission of the Company, shall not, anywhere in the world, (i) be employed by, or render any services to, any person, firm or corporation engaged in the medical device industry (or any other business) which is directly in competition with any “material” business conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries at the time of termination (as used herein “material” means a business which generated at least 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the last full fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available) (“Competitive Business”); (ii) engage in any Competitive Business for his or its own account; (iii) be associated with or interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner, shareholder, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity; (iv) employ or retain, or have or cause any other person or entity to employ or retain, any person who was employed or retained by the Company while Executive was employed by the Company (other than Executive’s personal secretary and assistant); or (v) solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company, for the benefit of a Competitive Business, any of its customers or other persons with whom the Company has a contractual relationship.

5.5 Injunctive Relief . If Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 5.2 or 5.4, the Company shall have the right and remedy to seek to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed by Executive that the services being rendered hereunder to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. The rights and remedies enumerated in this Section 5.5 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or equity. In connection with any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party.

5.6 Modification . If any provision of Sections 5.2 or 5.4 is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the tribunal making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration, or area, or all of them, and such provision or provisions shall then be applicable in such modified form.

5.7 Survival . The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination of employment under this Agreement for any reason, except in the events that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause,” or if Executive terminates this Agreement with “Good Reason,” (Good Reason for purposes of this Section shall not include termination for Good Reason defined in Section 4.4 (g) in connection with a Change of Control and while Executive is receiving payments in accordance with Section 4.6 (c)) in either of which events, clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.4 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

No provisions of this Agreement may be waived or changed except by a writing by the party against whom such waiver or change is sought to be enforced.

7. Arbitration; Expenses .

If the parties cannot agree upon the choice of arbitrator, the Company and the Executive will each choose an arbitrator.
