customers, in each case for a period of twelve (12) months following your
termination of employment,

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

each in such standard form as provided by the Company, you will be eligible to
receive the following benefits (in lieu of any severance or separation benefits
under any and all severance plans, policies and agreements that may entitle you
to severance or separation benefits):
(1)
a lump sum payment equal to your annual base salary in effect on the date of
your termination;

(2)
a lump sum payment equal to your target bonus for the year in which your
employment with the Company terminates, pro-rated based upon the number of days
you were employed with the Company during the year of termination, and for which
you have not otherwise received or been eligible for a bonus with respect to
such year, in lieu of any other bonus for the applicable bonus period in which
your employment with the Company was terminated;

(3)
continuation of your health plan coverage through the end of the month in which
your last date of employment occurs. Thereafter, you will be eligible to
continue health plan coverage pursuant to the terms of the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”). If you elect to continue health plan
coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Company will subsidize your COBRA payments for
the first twelve (12) months so that you will pay the same monthly premiums as
active employees of the Company for the same coverage; provided, however, that
if you are eligible for another group health plan coverage prior to the end of
this period, the Company shall not be responsible for any further payments;
provided further, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide
you with a lump sum payment in lieu of providing a COBRA subsidy; provided
further, however, that any Company subsidy shall be subject to taxation to you
to the extent required or advisable under Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Thereafter, you will be responsible for
the full payment of any COBRA premiums through the remainder of your
eligibility; and

(4)
outplacement benefits pursuant to Company policy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all payments and
benefits described in this agreement that are not otherwise exempt from Section
409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) shall be fully paid no later than the
short-term deferral deadline set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-
1(b)(4). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event
that any change to this agreement or any additional terms are required to comply
with Section 409A (or an exemption therefrom), you hereby agree that the Company
may make such change or incorporate such terms (by reference or otherwise)
without your consent. To the extent (i) any payments to which you become
entitled under this agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in
connection with your termination of employment with the Company constitute
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and (ii) you are deemed at the
time of such termination of employment to be a “specified” employee under
Section 409A, then such payment or payments shall not be made or commence until
the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the
date of your “separation from service” (as such term is at the time defined in
Treasury Regulations under Section 409A) with the Company and (ii) the date of
your death following such separation from service; provided, however, that such
deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax
treatment to you, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent
(20%) tax for which you would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of
the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable
deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that
period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this
paragraph shall be paid to you or your beneficiary, as applicable, in one lump
sum. For purposes of this agreement, no payment that is subject to and not
exempt from Section 409A will be made to you upon termination of your employment
unless such termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A and Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.
For purposes of this agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (A) your failure to
substantially perform your duties to the Company (other than as a result of
total or partial incapacity due to disability) for a period of 10 days following
receipt of written notice from the Company by you of such failure, provided that
it is understood that this clause (A) shall not apply if the Company terminates
your employment because of dissatisfaction with actions taken by you in the good
faith performance of your duties to the Company; (B) theft or embezzlement of
property of the Company or dishonesty in the performance of your duties to the
Company; (C) an act or acts on your part constituting (x) a felony under the
laws of the United States or any state thereof or (y) a crime involving moral
turpitude; (D) your wilful malfeasance or wilful misconduct in connection with
your duties or any act or omission that is materially injurious to the financial
condition or business reputation of the Company; or (E) your breach of the
provisions of any non-compete, non-solicitation or confidentiality agreements
agreed to with the Company.
For purposes of this agreement, a “Constructive Termination” shall be deemed to
have occurred upon (A) any material reduction in your base salary or target
bonus (excluding any change in value of equity incentives or a reduction
affecting substantially all similarly situated executives); (B) the primary
business office for you being relocated by more than fifty (50) miles; or (C) a
material and sustained diminution to your duties and responsibilities as of the
date of this agreement; provided that any of the events described in clauses
(A)-(C) of this definition shall constitute a Constructive Termination only if
the Company fails to cure such event within thirty (30) days after receipt by
the Company's Board of Directors from you of written notice of the event which
constitutes a Constructive Termination; provided further, however, that a
“Constructive Termination” shall cease to exist for an event on the sixtieth
(60th) day following the later of its occurrence or your knowledge of such
occurrence, unless you have given the Company written notice of such occurrence
prior to the sixtieth (60th) day.

Restrictive Covenants

(a)Non-Competition
(i)From the date hereof while employed by the Company and for a twelve (12)
month period following the date you cease to be employed by the Company (the
“Restricted Period”), irrespective of the cause, manner or time of any
termination, you shall not use your status with any Company to obtain loans,
goods or services from another organization on terms that would not be available
to you in the absence of your relationship to the Company.
(ii)During the Restricted Period, you shall not make any statements or perform
any acts intended to or which may have the effect of advancing the interest of
any Competitors (as defined below) of the Company or in any way injuring the
interests of the Company and the Company shall not make or authorize any person
to make any statement that would in any way injure the personal or business
reputation or interests of you; provided however, that, nothing herein shall
preclude the Company or you from giving truthful testimony under oath in
response to a subpoena or other lawful process or truthful answers in response
to questions from a government investigation; provided further, however, that
nothing herein shall prohibit the Company from disclosing the fact of any
termination of your employment or the circumstances for such a termination. For
purposes of this agreement, the term “Competitor” means any enterprise or
business that is engaged in, or has plans to engage in, at any time during the
Restricted Period, any activity that competes with the businesses conducted
during or at the termination of your employment, or then proposed to be
conducted, by the Company in a manner that is or would be material in relation
to the businesses of the Company or the prospects for the businesses of the
Company (in each case, within 100 miles of any geographical area where the
Company manufactures, produces, sells, leases, rents, licenses or otherwise
provides its products or services). During the Restricted Period, you, without
prior express written approval by the Company's Board of Directors, shall not
(A) engage in, or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise)
manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the management, operation
or control of a Competitor, in any capacity (whether as an employee, officer,
director, partner, consultant, agent, advisor, or otherwise) or (B) develop,
expand or promote, or assist in the development, expansion or promotion of, any
division of an enterprise or the business intended to become a Competitor at any
time after the end of the Restricted Period or (C) own or hold a Proprietary
Interest (as defined below) in, or directly furnish any capital to, any
Competitor of the Company. You acknowledge that the Company's businesses are
conducted nationally and internationally and agree that the provisions in the
foregoing sentence shall operate throughout the United States and the world
(subject to the definition of “Competitor”).
(iii)During the Restricted Period, you, without express prior written approval
from the Company's Board of Directors, shall not solicit any members or the then
current clients of the Company for any existing business of the Company or
discuss with any employee of the Company information or operations of any
business intended to compete with the Company.
(iv)During the Restricted Period, you shall not interfere with the employees or
affairs of the Company or solicit or induce any person who is an employee of the
Company to terminate any relationship such person may have with the Company, nor
shall you during such period directly or indirectly engage, employ or
compensate, or cause or permit any person with which you may be affiliated, to
engage, employ or compensate, any employee of the Company.
(v)For the purposes of this agreement, “Proprietary Interest” means any legal,
equitable or other ownership, whether through stock holding or otherwise, of an
interest in a business, firm or entity; provided that ownership of less than 5%
of any class of equity interest in a publicly held company shall not be deemed a
Proprietary Interest.
(vi)The period of time during which the provisions of this Section shall be in
effect shall be extended by the length of time during which you are in breach of
the terms hereof as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction on the
Company's application for injunctive relief.
(vii)You agree that the restrictions contained in this Section are an essential
element of the compensation you are granted hereunder and but for your agreement
to comply with such restrictions, the Company would not have entered into this
agreement.
(viii)It is expressly understood and agreed that although you and the Company
consider the restrictions contained in this Section to be reasonable, if a final
judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the
time or territory or any other restriction contained in this agreement is an
unenforceable restriction against you, the provisions of this agreement shall
not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum
time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially
determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of
competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this agreement is
unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it
enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the
other restrictions contained herein.
(b)Confidentiality
(i)You will not at any time (whether during or after your employment with the
Company) (x) retain or use for the benefit, purposes or account of you or any
other person; or (y) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate, share, transfer or
provide access to any person outside the Company (other than its professional
advisers who are bound by confidentiality obligations), any non-public,
proprietary or confidential information (including without limitation trade
