The Executive shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently and to the best of his ability such duties and responsibilities and shall devote all of his working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates. During the three (3) years following a Change in Control (as defined herein), the Executive’s position (including offices, titles and reporting requirements), duties, and responsibilities shall not be reduced, and the Executive shall not be required to work at a location other than the location at which the Executive was based at the time of the Change in Control.

The Company shall consider increases in the Executive’s Base Salary annually, and any such increase in salary implemented by the Company shall become the Executive’s Base Salary for purposes of this Agreement.

          (b) INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. Provided Executive has duly performed his obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Management Incentive Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan that is implemented by the Company.

The Executive acknowledges that as an Executive Officer of the Company (i) he frequently will be exposed to certain “Trade Secrets” and “Confidential Information” of the Company (as those terms are defined in Subsection 4(b)), (ii) his responsibilities on behalf of the Company will extend to all geographical areas where the Company is doing business, and (iii) any competitive activity on his part during the term of his employment and for a reasonable period thereafter would necessarily involve his use of the Company’s Trade Secrets and Confidential Information and, therefore, would unfairly threaten the Company’s legitimate business interests, including its substantial investment in the proprietary aspects of its business and the goodwill associated with its customer base. Moreover, the Executive acknowledges that, in the event of the termination of his employment with the Company, he would have sufficient skills to find alternative, commensurate work in his field of expertise that would not involve a violation of any of the provisions of this Section 4. Therefore, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that it is reasonable for the Company to require him to abide by the covenants set forth in this Section 4. The parties acknowledge and agree that if the nature of the Executive’s responsibilities for or on behalf of the Company and the geographical areas in which the Executive must fulfill them materially change, the parties will execute appropriate amendments to the scope of the covenants in this Section 4.

This Agreement does not limit the remedies available under common or statutory law, which may impose longer duties of non-disclosure.

          (d) COVENANT OF NON-COMPETITION. The Executive agrees that while employed by the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the cessation of his employment for any reason, he will not compete with the Business of Company by performing services of the same or similar type as those he performed for the Company as an employee, contractor, consultant, officer, director or agent for any person or entity engaged in the Business of Company. Likewise, the Executive will not perform activities of the type which in the ordinary course of business would involve the utilization of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets protected from disclosure by Section 4 (c) of this Agreement.

Such property includes, but is not limited to, the original and any copy (regardless of the manner in which it is recorded) of all information provided by the Company to the Executive, or which the Executive has developed or collected in the scope of his employment with the Company, as well as all Company-issued equipment, supplies, accessories, vehicles, keys, instruments, tools, devices, computers, cell phones, pagers, materials, documents, plans, records, notebooks, drawings, or papers.

          (h) ASSIGNMENT OF WORK PRODUCT AND INVENTIONS.

The Executive acknowledges that the Company would suffer irreparable harm if the Executive fails to comply with the foregoing, and that the Company would be entitled to any appropriate relief, including money damages, injunctive and other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees. The

Executive agrees that the pendency of any claim whatsoever against the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this Noncompetition Agreement by the Company.

          (j) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of these restrictive covenants shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in these restrictive covenants shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, the parties authorize the Court in which such action is pending to modify said covenants and enforce them to the extent that the Court deems reasonable.

     5. TERMINATION.

          (a) DEATH. This Agreement shall terminate upon the death of the Executive, provided, however, that for purposes of the payment of Base Salary to the Executive, the death of the Executive shall be deemed to have occurred ninety (90) days from the last day of the month in which the death of the Executive shall have occurred.
