1. DEFINITIONS.

Capitalized terms used in the Agreement and not elsewhere defined shall have the meanings set forth in this Section:

(a) “ Accrued Benefits ” means (i) earned but unpaid base salary accrued through the Termination Date and any accrued but unpaid vacation time to the extent carried to the Termination Date under Company policy; (ii) unreimbursed expenses incurred in accordance with applicable Company policy through the Termination Date; (iii) unpaid amounts under the terms of any incentive plan in which the Executive participates as of the Termination Date, if and to the extent that the Executive is entitled under the terms of any such plan to receive a payment as of the Termination Date; and (iv) all other payments, benefits or perquisites to which the Executive may be entitled through the Termination Date, (including but not limited to rights to indemnification under the Company’s By-laws as in effect from time to time) subject to and in accordance with the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, or any equity or perquisite arrangement, plan, program or grant.

(b) “ Base Salary ” means the Executive’s annual base salary in effect on the Termination Date, or, on or before the second anniversary of a Change of Control, and if higher, the highest annual base salary in effect during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Change of Control. Base Salary for this purpose shall not include or reflect bonuses, overtime pay, compensatory time-off, commissions, incentive or deferred compensation, employer contributions towards employee benefits, cost of living adjustment, or any other additional compensation, and shall not be reduced by any contributions made on the Executive’s behalf to any plan of the Company under Section 125, 132, 401(k), or any other analogous section of the Code.

(c) “ Benefits Continuation Period ” means the period for each applicable benefit beginning on the Termination Date and ending on the earliest of (i) the day on which the Executive is eligible to receive coverage for such benefit from a new employer; (ii) in the case of such benefits which require employee contributions, the date the Executive fails to timely make such required employee contributions pursuant to the Company’s or plan’s instructions (after giving effect to applicable grace periods) or otherwise cancels his coverage in accordance with the terms of the relevant plan(s); or (iii) the last day of the Executive’s Severance Period.

(d) “ Cause ” means: (i) fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by the Executive against the Company or any of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates; (ii) conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony; (iii) conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or dishonesty; (iv) willful failure to report to work for more than thirty (30) continuous days not attributable to eligible vacation or supported by a licensed physician’s statement; (v) material breach by the Executive of the provisions of Section 10 of this Agreement (Restrictive Covenants); (vi) willful failure to perform the Executive’s key duties or responsibilities; or (vii) any other activity which would constitute grounds for termination for cause by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including but not limited to material violations of the Company’s Principles of Business Conduct or any analogous code of ethics or similar policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control has occurred within the two (2) years preceding a Cause determination, “Cause” shall not include subsection (vii) of the preceding sentence, provided that subsection (vii) shall continue to apply to any terminations that are deemed to have retroactively occurred pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii). For the purposes of this Section 1(d), any good faith interpretation by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the foregoing definition of “Cause” shall be conclusive on the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement “Cause” shall be determined by the Board or its designee, provided that following a Change of Control, “Cause” shall be determined by a majority of the Incumbent Board (as defined in Section 1(e)), or, if there are fewer than three (3) members in the Incumbent Board (excluding the Executive) at the date of such a determination, by the remaining Incumbent Board members, if any, and two-thirds of the members of the Board. Any good faith interpretation that satisfies the foregoing sentence shall be conclusive on the Executive. The Executive shall not have the right to vote or be counted for purposes of the determination of Cause.

(e) “ Change of Control ” Except as provided below, for the purpose of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) (a “Person”) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subparagraph (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan or plans (or related trust) of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates or (B) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subparagraph (iii) of this Section 1(e); or

(ii) the individuals who, as of January 1, 2007, constituted the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 1, 2007 whose election, or nomination for election, was approved by a vote of the persons comprising at least a majority of the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the 1934 Act (as in effect on January 23, 2000)) shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

(iii) there is a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding common stock and outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Company’s outstanding common stock and outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan or plans (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination and their subsidiaries and affiliates) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

(iv) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company approved by the shareholders; or

(v) there is a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1(e) to the contrary, for purposes of Section 5(c)(ii), a Change of Control shall only be deemed to occur if such transactions or events would give rise to a “change in ownership or effective control” or a change in the “ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” under Section 409A of the Code, and the rulings and regulations issued under that Section.

(f) “ Code ” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, supplemented or substituted from time to time.

(g) “ Company Entity ” has the meaning set forth in Section 15(e).

(h) “ Disability ” means (i) the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; (ii) the Executive is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan of the Company; or (iii) a determination by the Social Security Administration that the Executive is totally disabled.

(i) “ Employment Term ” means the Executive’s term of employment commencing on the effective date of the Original Agreement and ending on the first to occur of the events specified in Section 4.

(j) “ Equity Compensation Opportunities ” means the Executive’s ability to obtain equity in the Company (or a comparable cash-based incentive program) through a compensatory arrangement. Equity Compensation Opportunities are measured using the valuation method applied by the Company for financial accounting purposes and the Board may take into account in determining that no reduction has occurred any exercises, cashing out, or other liquidity in favor of the Executive that is either triggered by the Executive or occurring in connection with a Change of Control. Changes in the underlying value of the stock shall not be treated as a reduction in the Equity Compensation Opportunities, and the Company may take into account in replacing the value of pre-Change of Control equity compensation with post-Change of Control equity compensation (or a comparable cash-based incentive program) that the Executive may have received value for his equity compensation in the Change of Control.

(k) “ Good Reason ” only applies within two (2) years following a Change of Control, as defined in Section 1(e), except as otherwise provided in Section 5(c)(iv), and means the occurrence of any of the following without the Executive’s consent: (i) any material reduction in the aggregate value of the Executive’s compensation (consisting of the Executive’s base salary, target bonus opportunity under the Company’s annual bonus plan or program, cash perquisites, and Equity Compensation Opportunities); (ii) the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based or to perform services at any site or location more than fifty (50) miles from the site or location at which the Executive is based at the time of the Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of his responsibilities (which does not materially exceed the level of travel required of the Executive in the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Change of Control); (iii) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption and agreement to perform under this Agreement by a successor as contemplated by Section 8; (iv) any failure by the Company to pay into the Trust(s) the amounts and at the time or times as are required pursuant to the terms of Section 6; or (v) any material and adverse changes in the Executive’s duties and responsibilities. For the avoidance of doubt, a change in reporting relationship or title shall not constitute “Good Reason.”

The Executive’s termination of employment shall only constitute a termination for Good Reason if the Executive terminates employment on or prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the circumstances providing a basis for such termination initially occurred. In addition, the Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason, until ninety (90) days have elapsed since the occurrence of the circumstance he would assert constitutes Good Reason, and the Executive has not provided notice in accordance with Section 1(m) prior to the end of such ninety (90) day period.

(l) “ Involuntary Termination ” means the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause; provided, however, that an Involuntary Termination of his employment shall not occur if:

(i) the termination of the Executive’s employment is due to the transfer of his employment between the Company and a Company Entity, or among the Company and one or more Company Entities; or

(ii) the termination results from the sale or transfer of all or a material portion of the operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (the “Disposed Business”) (by means of a stock or asset disposition, or other similar transaction) which sale or transfer does not constitute a Change of Control, and either (a) the Executive’s employment is transferred to the purchaser or transferee of the Disposed Business on economic terms and conditions of employment comparable to the economic terms and conditions of employment existing prior to such sale or transfer or (b) Executive terminates his employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates notwithstanding that the Executive received an offer of employment from either the purchaser or transferee of the Disposed Business or the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, on economic terms and conditions comparable to the economic terms and conditions of employment existing prior to such sale or transfer and whether an offer of employment was made and whether the terms and conditions of such offer are economically equivalent for purposes of this subsection shall be determined by the Board in its discretion; or

(iii) the termination follows a Change of Control and either (a) the Executive’s employment is transferred to the purchaser or transferee of the Disposed Business and the obligations of this Agreement are assumed by the purchaser or transferee or (b) the Executive terminates his employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or does not accept an offer of employment from a purchaser or transferee notwithstanding that the Executive received an offer of employment from either the purchaser or transferee of the Disposed Business or the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates which offer included a continuation of the obligations of this Agreement, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

In no event shall an “Involuntary Termination” occur if the Executive terminates his employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for any reason. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in subsection (ii) and (iii) above, the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall not be entitled to any amounts or benefits hereunder but shall still be required to comply with Section 10 hereof. This Agreement shall, however, continue in effect if the Executive’s employment is transferred between or among the Company and Company Entities, as contemplated in subsection (i) above.

(m) “ Notice of Termination ” means written notice (i) specifying the effective date of the Executive’s termination (which shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice in the case of a termination on account of Disability or the Executive’s voluntary termination other than for Good Reason); (ii) solely with respect to the Executive’s terminating for Good Reason, citing the specific provision of this Agreement and the facts and circumstances, in reasonable detail, providing a basis for such termination, provided that if the basis for such Good Reason is capable of being cured by the Company, the Executive will provide the Company with an opportunity to cure the Good Reason within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice, and (iii) solely with respect to the Company terminating the Executive’s employment on account of Disability, its intent to terminate his employment on account of Disability. A Notice of Termination will, as applicable, be provided by or to the Board.

(n) “ Release ” means a severance agreement and general release in a comprehensive form used by the Company for such purposes at the time of the Executive’s separation from employment (a copy of such form as in effect on the date this Agreement is executed is attached to this Agreement by way of example, but the Executive acknowledges that such form may be updated by the Company from time to time). If the Executive is subject to the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”), the Release shall be revocable until the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day after Executive executes the Release.

(o) “ Release Effective Date ” means, if the Executive is covered by the OWBPA on his Termination Date, the later of: (i) the eighth (8th) calendar day after the execution of the Release, provided that the Executive has not revoked the Release prior to such date, or (ii) the Termination Date. If the Executive is not covered by the OWBPA on his Termination Date, the Release Effective Date means the later of: (i) the date on which the Release is executed by the Executive, or (ii) the Termination Date.

(p) “ Severance Multiple ” means a multiple of one and one-half (1 1/2). On or after a Change of Control, the Severance Multiple shall mean two (2).

The Executive accepts the continuing employment. The Executive will have those responsibilities, duties, authorities and titles consistent with the Executive’s status as an officer of the Company as assigned from time to time by the Board, shall be subject to all rules, policies and procedures of the Company, and shall serve in such other executive capacities, without additional compensation, as may be assigned by the Board from time to time.

(b) During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote substantially all of his full business time (other than vacation and sick leave), energy and skill in the performance of his duties with the Company. However, this Agreement does not prevent the Executive from (i) managing his and his family’s personal passive investments, and (ii) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs or serving on the board of directors of other companies (subject to the consent of the Board), so long as these activities do not materially interfere with the performance of his duties or create a potential actual or perceived conflict of interest or violate Section 10 of this Agreement.

3. PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS.

The parties agree that, as of the Effective Date, all prior employment, separation, severance, termination, change of control, or similar agreements, arrangements, or plans whether oral or written covering the Executive are terminated and superseded and any notice periods with respect to such terminations are deemed satisfied or explicitly waived.

Upon notice by the Executive to the Company of the Executive’s voluntary termination of employment, or on or after a Change of Control, upon notice by the Executive to the Company of the Executive’s voluntary termination of employment without Good Reason (which the Company may, in its sole discretion, make effective earlier than the termination date proposed by the Executive), subject to Section 1(m) and as provided in Section 9.

5. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION.

In the event of the Executive’s Involuntary Termination not due to a Change of Control, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation listed below, subject to his compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 5(f) (“Additional Terms”).

(i) The Company shall pay or provide to the Executive the following payments and benefits:

(ii) If a Change of Control occurs and the Executive is then receiving, or is entitled to receive, payments and benefits under Section 5(c)(i) of this Agreement as a result of his Involuntary Termination without Cause not due to a Change of Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum, within seven (7) calendar days after the Change of Control, an amount (in lieu of future installment payments) equal to the present value of all future cash payments due to the Executive under Section 5(c)(i)(B) of this Agreement using the prime commercial lending rate published by the Trustee at the time the Change of Control occurs. The Company and the Executive shall continue to be liable to each other for all of their other respective obligations under this Agreement. In the event that the Executive was a Specified Employee on his Termination Date, if the sum of the payments which the Executive previously received in accordance with Section 5(c)(i)(B) and the payment set forth in this Section 5(c)(ii) exceeds the Separation Pay Limit, any amounts in excess of the Separation Pay Limit shall be paid on the later of (A) the first day following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date and (B) within seven (7) calendar days after the Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the provisions of this Section 5(c)(ii) become effective, they shall supersede the provisions of Section 5(c)(i)(B).

(iii) If a Change of Control occurs and (A) the Executive experienced an Involuntary Termination within twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs and (B) it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment either (a) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (b) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control, then in addition to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 5(c)(i), the Executive shall be entitled to the following: (x) a lump sum payment equal to 50% of the Executive’s Base Salary, payable as soon as practicable but no later than sixty (60) days following the Change of Control; provided that if the Executive was a Specified Employee on his Termination Date, such payment shall be paid on the later of (1) as soon as practicable but no later than sixty (60) days following the Change of Control and (2) the first day following the six-month anniversary of the Executive’s Termination Date; (y) the difference between the Target Bonus payment which the Executive would have received if the Severance Multiple had been two (2) and the Target Bonus amount paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 5(c)(i)(C), which shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Change of Control but no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs; and (z) for purposes of determining the Severance Period for benefits provided under Sections 5(c)(i)(D), (F), and (G), the Executive’s Severance Period shall be defined as the twenty-four (24) month period following the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (A) a Change of Control occurs and payments and benefits become payable to the Executive pursuant to this Section 5(c)(iii); and (B) such Change of Control does not constitute a “change in ownership or effective control” or a change in the “ownership of a substantial portion of assets” under Section 409A of the Code and the rules and regulations issued thereunder, the lump sum payment set forth in (x) above shall be paid on the first anniversary of the Executive’s Termination Date.

(iv) If a Change of Control occurs and (A) the Executive’s employment was voluntarily terminated within twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs; (B) such termination would have constituted a termination for Good Reason if it had occurred within two (2) years following the Change of Control; and (C) it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that the circumstances which would have caused the occurrence of Good Reason either (a) were at the request of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (b) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control, then the Executive shall be entitled to the following (based on a Severance Multiple of two (2) and a Severance Period of twenty-four (24) months from the Termination Date):
