Under all circumstances and at all times, the Executive will take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information in the Executive's possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.

The Executive will promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property and will cooperate with the Company to protect the Company' interests in and rights to such Intellectual Property (including providing reasonable assistance in securing patent protection and copyright registrations and executing all documents as reasonably requested by the Company, whether such requests occur prior to or after termination of the Executive's employment hereunder). 5.3 Delivery of Materials upon Termination of Employment.

The "Noncompetition Period" shall be 12 months following the termination of employment. It shall not be considered a violation of this Section 5.4 for the Executive to be a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. 5.5 Nonsolicitation. The Executive hereby agrees that (a) during the Term and for a period of 12 months after the termination of employment (the "Nonsolicitation Period") the Executive will not, directly or indirectly through another entity, actively induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or its subsidiaries and any employee thereof or otherwise employ or receive the services of any individual who was an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries at any time during such Nonsolicitation Period or within the three-month period prior thereto and (b) during the Nonsolicitation Period, the Executive will not induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, client, insurer, reinsurer, broker, licensee or other business relation of the Company or its subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company or its subsidiaries. 5.6 Enforcement of Noncompete and Nonsolicitation. If, at the enforcement of Sections 5.4 or 5.5, a court holds that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court will be permitted to revise the restrictions contained in Sections 5.4 or 5.5 to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. 5.7 Equitable Relief.

Accordingly, and in addition to any remedies which the Company may have at law, in the event of an actual or threatened breach by the Executive of the Executive's covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 or 5.8, the Company shall have the absolute right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for such injunctive or other equitable relief as such court may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

During the time that Executive is employed by the Company and thereafter, without limitation of time, Executive shall not at any time make, publish or communicate to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, the customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its affiliates, any Disparaging (as defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning Company, any other equity holders of the Company, or any affiliates of any of the foregoing. The Company shall instruct its Directors and Officers not to make any Disparaging comments or statements concerning Executive. "Disparaging" remarks, comments or statements are those that impugn the character, honesty, integrity, morality, business acumen or abilities of the individual or entity being disparaged. 5.9 Nothing in this agreement prohibits or restricts the parties from contacting, assisting, responding to, providing truthful testimony to or filing charges with any regulatory organization, authority or agency (e.g., the EEOC, IRS, SEC or FINRA), or from complying with any court or administrative order or subpoena, or from providing any other disclosure required by law. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or is intended to restrict or impede the Executive from discussing the terms and conditions of his employment with coworkers or union representatives, or exercising protected rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, or exercising protected rights to the extent that such right cannot be waived by agreement, or otherwise disclosing information as permitted by law. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or Company policy applicable to the unauthorized use or disclosure of trade secrets, the Executive is hereby notified that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Executive cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (a) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (b) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. The Executive also may not be held so liable for such disclosures made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, if the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive's attorney and 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. 6 Other Provisions. 6.1 Notices.

6.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with and subject to, the laws of the State of Connecticut applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state. 6.5 Acknowledgments.

6.10 Section 409A. (a) If the Company determines in good faith that any prov1s10n of this Agreement would cause the Executive to incur an additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A of the Code and the applicable guidance thereunder ("Section 409A"), the Company and the Executive shall use reasonable efforts to reform such provision, if possible, in a mutually agreeable fashion to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A or causing the imposition of such additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A. The preceding provision, however, shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect to the Executive under this Agreement. (b) "Termination of employment," or words of similar import, as used in this Agreement means, for purposes of any payments under this Agreement that are payments of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, the Executive's "separation from service" as defined in Section 409A.
