11. Termination By Company.
(a) Termination for Cause. The employment of the Employee may be
terminated for Cause at any time by the vote of a majority of the Board;
provided, however, that before the Company may terminate the Employee's
employment for Cause for any reason that is susceptible to cure, the Company
shall first send the Employee written notice of its intention to terminate this
Agreement for Cause, specifying in such notice the reasons for such Cause and
those conditions that, if satisfied by the Employee, would cure the reasons for
such Cause, and the Employee shall have 60 days from receipt of such written
notice to satisfy such conditions. If such conditions are satisfied within such
60-day period, the Company shall so advise the Employee in writing. If such
conditions are not satisfied within such 60-day period, the Company may
thereafter terminate this Agreement for Cause on written Notice of Termination
(as defined in SECTION 13(A)) delivered to the Employee describing with
specificity the grounds for termination. Immediately on termination pursuant to
this SECTION 11(A), the Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum his then
current Base Salary under SECTION 4(A) on a prorated basis to the Date of
Termination (as defined in SECTION 13(B)). On termination pursuant to this
SECTION 11(A), the Employee shall forfeit (i) his Bonus under SECTION 4(B) for
the year in which such termination occurs, and (ii) all unvested Options and
other options, warrants and rights relating to capital stock of the Company,
except those issued prior to the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, Cause shall mean: (1) a material breach of any of the terms of this
Agreement that is not immediately corrected following written notice of default
specifying such breach; (2) repeated intoxication with alcohol or drugs while on
Company premises during its regular business hours to such a degree that, in the
reasonable judgment of the other managers of the Company, the Employee is
abusive or incapable of performing his duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement; (3) conviction of a felony; or (4) misappropriation of property
belonging to the Company and/or any of its affiliates.
5
(b) Termination Without Cause. The employment of the Employee may be
terminated without Cause at any time by the vote of a majority of the Board on
delivery to the Employee of a written Notice of Termination (as defined in
SECTION 13(A)). On the Date of Termination (as defined in SECTION 13(B))
pursuant to this SECTION 11(B), the Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump
sum in lieu of payments under SECTIONS 4(A), 4(B) AND 5 for the remainder of the
Term an amount equal to the sum of (i) all Base Salary payable under SECTION
4(A) through the termination date, (ii) a pro-rated portion of the maximum Bonus
available to the Employee under SECTION 4(B) for the year in which the
termination occurs, (iii) an amount equal to three times the Employee's Total
Compensation for the twelve months preceding the termination date, and (iv) One
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00). In addition, provided
that Employee has complied with the provisions of SECTION 16 hereof, on each of
the first and second anniversaries of the Date of Termination of the Employee's
employment, the Company shall pay the Employee in a lump sum One Million Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000.00). For purposes of this SECTION
11(B), the Employee's Total Compensation shall equal the sum of the Base Salary,
maximum Bonus of 100% of such Base Salary (whether or not the entire amount was
actually earned or paid to the Employee), fair value of vehicle allowance and
other benefits and expense reimbursements described in SECTIONS 4(D) and 5, and
any director's fees paid to the Employee by the Company. In addition, on
termination of the Employee under this SECTION 11(B), all of the Employee's
unvested Options and other options, warrants and rights relating to capital
stock of the Company shall immediately vest and become exercisable. The term of
any such options (including the Options), warrants and rights shall be extended
to the fifth anniversary of the Employee's termination. The Employee
acknowledges that extending the term of any incentive stock option pursuant to
this SECTION 11(B), or SECTION 11(C), 11(D) OR 12(A), could cause such option to
lose its tax-qualified status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and agrees that the Company shall have no obligation to
compensate the Employee for any additional taxes he incurs as a result.
(c) Termination on Disability. If during the Term the Employee should fail
to perform his duties hereunder on account of physical or mental illness or
other incapacity which the Board shall in good faith determine renders the
Employee incapable of performing his duties hereunder, and such illness or other
incapacity shall continue for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months
("Disability"), the Company shall have the right, on written Notice of
Termination (as defined in SECTION 13(A)) delivered to the Employee to terminate
the Employee's employment under this Agreement. During the period that the
Employee shall have been incapacitated due to Disability, the Employee shall
continue to receive the full Base Salary provided for in SECTION 4(A) hereof at
the rate then in effect until the Date of Termination (as defined in SECTION
13(B)) pursuant to this SECTION 11(C). On the Date of Termination pursuant to
this SECTION 11(C), the Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum an
amount equal to (i) the Base Salary remaining payable to the Employee under
SECTION 4(A) for the full remaining Term, plus (ii) a pro-rated portion of the
maximum Bonus available to the Employee under SECTION 4(B) for the year in which
the termination occurs. In addition, on such termination, all of the Employee's
unvested Options and other options, warrants and
6
rights relating to capital stock of the Company shall immediately vest and
become exercisable. The term of any such options (including the Options),
warrants and rights shall be extended to the fifth anniversary of the Employee's
termination.
(d) Termination on Death. If the Employee shall die during the Term, the
employment of the Employee shall thereupon terminate. On the Date of Termination
(as defined in SECTION 13(B)) pursuant to this SECTION 11(D), the Company shall
pay to the Employee's estate the payments and other benefits applicable to
termination without Cause set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of SECTION
11(B) hereof. In addition, on termination of the Employee under this SECTION
11(D), all of the Employee's unvested Options and other options, warrants and
rights relating to capital stock of the Company shall immediately vest and
become exercisable. The term of any such options (including the Options),
warrants and rights shall be extended to the fifth anniversary of the Employee's
termination. The provisions of this SECTION 11(D) shall not affect the
entitlements of the Employee's heirs, executors, administrators, legatees,
beneficiaries or assigns under any employee benefit plan, fund or program of the
Company.
12. Termination By Employee.
Termination for Good Reason. The Employee may terminate his employment
hereunder for Good Reason (as defined below). On the Date of Termination
pursuant to this SECTION 12(A), the Employee shall be entitled to receive, and
the Company agrees to pay and deliver, the payments and other benefits
applicable to termination without Cause set forth in SECTION 11(B) hereof at the
times and subject to the conditions set forth therein. In addition, on
termination of the Employee under this SECTION 12(A), all of the Employee's
Options and other options, warrants and rights relating to capital stock of the
Company shall immediately vest and become exercisable. The term of any such
options (including the Options), warrants and rights shall be extended to the
fifth anniversary of the Employee's termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean: (1) assignment to the
Employee of duties inconsistent with his responsibilities as they existed on the
date of this Agreement; a substantial alteration in the title(s) of the Employee
(so long as the existing corporate structure of the Company is maintained); or a
substantial alteration in the status of the Employee in the Company organization
as it existed on the date of this Agreement; (2) the relocation of the Company's
principal executive office to a location more than fifty (50) miles from its
present location; (3) a reduction by the Company in the Employee's Base Salary
without the Employee's approval; (4) a failure by the Company to continue in
effect, without substantial change, any benefit plan or arrangement in which the
Employee was participating or the taking of any action by the Company which
would adversely affect the Employee's participation in or materially reduce his
benefits under any benefit plan (unless such changes apply equally to all other
management employees of Company); (5) any material breach by the Company of any
provision of this Agreement without the Employee having committed any material
breach of his obligations hereunder, which breach is not cured within twenty
(20) days following
7
written notice thereof to the Company of such breach; or (6) the failure of the
Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor entity.
13. Provisions Applicable to Termination of Employment.
(a) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of Employee's
employment by the Company pursuant to SECTION 11 shall be communicated by Notice
of Termination to the Employee as provided herein, and shall state the specific
termination provisions in this Agreement relied on and set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
the Employee's employment ("Notice of Termination"). If the Employee terminates
under SECTION 12, he shall give the Company a Notice of Termination.
(b) Date of Termination. For all purposes, "Date of Termination" shall
mean, for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given to
the Employee (provided the Employee has not returned to duty on a full-time
basis during such 30-day period), or, if the Employee's employment is terminated
by the Company for any other reason or by the Employee, the date on which a
Notice of Termination is given.
(c) Benefits on Termination. On termination of this Agreement by the
Company pursuant to SECTION 11 or by the Employee pursuant to SECTION 12, all
profit-sharing, deferred compensation and other retirement benefits payable to
the Employee under benefit plans in which the Employee then participated shall
be paid to the Employee in accordance with the provisions of the respective
plans.
14. Gross Up Payments.
If all or any portion of any payment or benefit that the Employee is
entitled to receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement (a "Payment")
constitutes an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Code, and as such is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code or to any similar Federal, state or local tax or assessment (the
"Excise Tax"), the Company or its successors or assigns shall pay to the
Employee an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") with respect to such
Payment. The amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be sufficient that, after
paying (a) any Excise Tax on the Payment, (b) any Federal, state or local income
or employment taxes and Excise Tax on the Gross-Up Payment, and (c) any interest
and penalties imposed in respect of the Excise Tax, the Employee shall retain an
amount equal to the full amount of the Payment. For the purpose of determining
the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay Federal
income taxes at the highest marginal rate applicable in the calendar year in
which the Gross-Up Payment is made, and state and local income taxes at the
highest marginal rate applicable in the state and locality where the Employee
resides on the date the Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction
in Federal income taxes that could be obtained from deducting such state and
local taxes. The Gross-Up Payment with respect to any Payment shall be paid to
the Employee within ten (10) days after the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority issues a notice stating that an Excise Tax is due with
8
respect to the Payment, unless the Company undertakes to challenge the taxing
authority on the applicability of such Excise Tax and indemnifies the Employee
for (a) any amounts ultimately determined to be payable, including the Excise
Tax and any related interest and penalties, (b) all expenses (including
attorneys' and experts' fees) reasonably incurred by the Employee in connection
with such challenge, as such expenses are incurred, and (c) all amounts that the
Employee is required to pay to the taxing authorities during the pendency of
such challenge (such amounts to be repaid by the Employee to the Company if they
are ultimately refunded to the Employee by the taxing authority).
15. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.
(a) In consideration of the provisions hereof and the payments provided
under SECTION 11, for the Restricted Period (as hereinafter defined), the
Employee will not, except as specifically provided below, anywhere in any state
of the United States in which the Company is engaged in the conduct of its
business as of such termination date (the "Restricted Territory"), directly or
indirectly, acting individually or as the owner, shareholder, partner or
management employee of any entity, (i) engage in the operation of disposing or
converting medical waste, (ii) enter the employ as a manager of, or render any
personal services to or for the benefit of, or assist in or facilitate the
solicitation of customers for, or receive remuneration in the form of management
salary, commissions or otherwise from, any business engaged in such activities
in such jurisdictions; or (iii) receive or purchase a financial interest in,
make a loan to, or make a gift in support of, any such business in any capacity,
including without limitation, as a sole proprietor, partner, shareholder,
officer, director, principal agent or trustee; provided, however, that the
Employee may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of
any business traded on any national securities exchange or quoted on any NASDAQ
market, provided the Employee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a
group which controls, such business and further provided that the Employee does
not, in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, own five percent (5%) or more of
any class of securities of such business. The term "Restricted Period" shall
mean the earlier of (i) the maximum period allowed under applicable law and
(ii)(x) in the case of a Change of Control, until the third anniversary of the
effective date of the Change of Control, (y) in the case of a termination by the
Company without Cause pursuant to Section 10(b) or by the Employee for Good
Reason pursuant to SECTION 12(A) and provided the Company has made the payments
required under SECTION 11(B) OR 12(A), as the case may be, until the second
anniversary of the Date of Termination, or (z) in the case of Termination for
Cause by the Company pursuant to SECTION 11(A) or by the Employee without Good
Reason pursuant to SECTION 12(B), until the first anniversary of the Date of
Termination.
(b) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares
that any term or provision of this SECTION 15 is invalid or unenforceable, the
parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or
unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of
the term or provision, to delete specified words or phrases or to replace any
invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is
valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the
invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be
9
enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the
judgment may be appealed.
16. Indemnification.
As an employee and agent of the Company, the Employee shall be fully indemnified
by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection
with his employment hereunder.

addition to himself) for election to the Board, such that at all times when
there are to be five (5) or less members of the Board, the Employee shall have
recommended at least two (2) of the nominees for election to such Board, and at
all times when there are to be more than five (5) members of the Board, the
Employee shall have recommended at least three (3) nominees for election to such
Board (in each case in addition to the Employee).
18. Survival of Provisions.
The obligations of the Company under SECTION 15 of this Agreement shall survive
both the termination of the Employee's employment and this Agreement.
19. No Duty to Mitigate; No Offset.
The Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any
payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by
any earnings that the Employee may receive from any other sources or offset
against any other payments made to him or required to be made to him pursuant to
this Agreement.
20. Assignment; Binding Agreement.
The Company may assign this Agreement to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or
successor of the Company. This Agreement is not assignable by the Employee and
is binding on him and his executors and other legal representatives. This
Agreement shall bind the Company and its successors and assigns and inure to the
benefit of the Employee and his heirs, executors, administrators, personal
representatives, legatees or devisees. The Company shall assign this Agreement
to any entity that acquires its assets or business, and shall cause it to assume
the Company's obligations and liabilities arising hereunder.
21. Notice.
Any written notice under this Agreement shall be personally delivered to the
other party or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested

the Company or to such other address as either party may from time to time
specify by written notice.

not be changed except by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the

will accrue to the Company in the event of a breach or threatened breach of
SECTIONS 8, 9 OR 10 of this Agreement, and, in any action or proceeding to
enforce the provisions of SECTIONS 8, 9 OR 10 hereof, the Employee waives the
