Either Party may terminate this Consulting Agreement upon written notice to the other Party in the event of a breach of (a) this Consulting Agreement, (b) the Separation Agreement dated as of October 20, 2015 between the Parties or (c) the Employment Agreement (as defined below), if such breach (if capable of being remedied) is not remedied within ten (10) days following delivery of written notice of such breach.

2.                  Duties.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Consulting Agreement, nothing in this Section 2 shall preclude Dyer from performing services for persons or entities other than Company to the extent such services do not (a) interfere with his obligations under this Consulting Agreement or (b) violate the restrictive covenants in Dyer’s employment agreement dated October 14, 2003, as amended by the Amendment 2008-1 to the employment agreement dated December 31, 2008 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”), which survive the termination of the Employment Agreement.

15.              Waiver of Breach. No waiver by either Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Consulting Agreement by the other Party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this Consulting Agreement to be performed by such other Party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other Party or any similar or dissimilar provisions and conditions at the same or any subsequent time. The failure of either Party hereto to take any action by reason of such breach will not deprive such Party of the right to take actions at any time while such breach continues.

18.              Assignment. Dyer will not voluntarily or by operation of law assign or otherwise transfer the obligations incurred on his part pursuant to the terms of this Consulting Agreement without prior written consent of Company. Any attempt to assign this Consulting Agreement in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void from the start, shall be deemed a material breach of this Consulting Agreement and shall be non-binding on Company. This Consulting Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, Company and its successors and assigns and any person acquiring, whether by merger, reorganization, consolidation, by purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets of Company.
