EXHIBIT 10.1

CHAIRMANSHIP AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 30th day of August, 2005 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation,
(“Hasbro” or the “Company”) and Alan G. Hassenfeld (the “Chairman”).

WHEREAS, the Chairman has rendered exemplary service as an employee and an
officer of the Company for over thirty-five years, including serving as the
Company’s Chairman since 1989; and

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the Chairman’s comprehensive knowledge of the
Company and the toy industry and, as such, wishes to establish the terms of the
Chairman’s continued relationship with the Company after the end of his
employment; and

WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Chairman have
mutually determined that it is in the best interest of the Company that the
Chairman transition into the role of non-executive Chairman beginning on January
1, 2006; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company
and its shareholders to assure that the Chairman enter into this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company
and the Chairman agree as follows:

1.

Transition.  From the Effective Date through and including December 31, 2005
(the “Transition Date”)(collectively, the “Transition Period”), the Chairman
will continue to serve as the Company’s employee, officer, and Chairman of the
Board and shall continue to receive his current base salary ($1,000,000
annualized) through the Transition Period.  The Chairman is also eligible to
receive a bonus under the 2005 Senior Management Annual Performance Plan (the
“Plan”) for the Company’s 2005 fiscal year, or any successor plan or replacement
to the Plan, at the same time and in the same manner that Plan bonus payments
are provided to other Plan participants; provided, however, that the Board’s
Compensation Committee retains full discretion over the actual amount of the
Chairman’s bonus award under the Plan, if any.  In addition, during the
Transition Period, the Chairman shall continue to participate in the employee
and fringe benefit plans, programs, and arrangements maintained by the Company
from time to time, to the extent the Chairman was participating in, and remains
eligible to participate in, such benefit plans, programs, and arrangements from
the Effective Date to the Transition Date.  

2.

Retirement.  On the Transition Date, the Chairman will tender and the Board, on
behalf of the Company, will accept the Chairman’s immediate retirement as an
employee of the Company and his resignation from any and all other positions
that he may hold with the Company (including those with any or all of the
Company’s affiliates), except as a director and as Chairman of the Board.  The
Chairman agrees to execute all documents which may reasonably be required to
effectuate his retirement as an employee and his resignation from any other
positions which he may hold with the Company except as a director and as
Chairman of the Board.  The Chairman and the Company agree that, as of the
Transition Date, all salary, bonus, and any other employee compensation
otherwise payable to the Chairman will cease, and any benefits the Chairman has
or might have under any Company-provided employee benefit plans, programs, or
practices (including, but not limited to participation in group medical, dental
and vision plans; short-term and long-term disability insurance; basic and
executive life insurance; basic accidental death and dismemberment insurance;
and participation in the employee assistance plan) will terminate, except as
required by federal or state law, by the terms of the respective benefit plan,
or as otherwise described in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything in this
Section to the contrary, nothing herein shall terminate the Chairman’s vested
rights to retirement benefits provided by Hasbro’s retirement plans or to other
retirement benefits generally made available to former Hasbro employees under
other plans, programs, or arrangements.

3.

Continuation of Group Health Insurance.  If the Chairman is eligible for and
elects continuation of coverage for retiree medical benefits under the Hasbro,
Inc. Employee Benefits Plan, he shall be solely responsible for the full costs
of his monthly medical insurance premium payments and any associated
administrative fees.  The Chairman’s entitlement to retiree medical benefits
under the Company’s retiree medical plan shall be governed exclusively by the
terms of that plan, as may be amended from time to time, and nothing in this
Agreement creates any rights which supersede the terms of that plan.  As of the
Transition Date, the Chairman’s eligibility for dental benefits under the
Hasbro, Inc. Employee Benefits Plan ceases.  If the Chairman is eligible for
continuation of dental benefits and timely elects coverage under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), the Chairman
may continue his dental benefits for a period not to exceed that prescribed
under COBRA, as applied to all retirees of the Company.

4.

Appointment as Non-Employee Chairman.  Contingent upon the Chairman being
reelected to the Board as a non-employee director annually by shareholders, the
Board shall appoint the Chairman as its non-employee Chairman for an initial
 three (3) year term commencing on January 1, 2006 (the “Commencement Date”) and
ending on December 31, 2008, which term shall be renewed automatically for
periods of one (1) year commencing on the third anniversary of the Commencement
Date and on each subsequent anniversary thereafter, unless either the Chairman
or the Board gives written notice to the other not less than six (6) months
prior to the end of the then-current term, and unless such term is terminated
earlier pursuant to Section 8 below (such time period is hereinafter referred to
as the “Chairmanship Period”).  During the Chairmanship Period, the Chairman
shall provide leadership to the Board by, among other things, working with the
Chief Executive Officer, the Presiding Director and the Corporate Secretary to
set Board calendars, prepare agendas for Board meetings, ensure proper flow of
information to Board members, facilitate effective operation of Board and
Committee work, help promote Board succession planning and the recruitment and
orientation of new directors, address issues of director performance, assist in
consideration and Board adoption of the Company’s strategic plan and annual
operating plans, and help promote senior management succession planning.  In
addition, the Chairman will assist the Company’s Chief Executive Officer by
advising on Board-related issues, helping to develop programs and actions to
reinforce Hasbro’s core values, providing leadership in the development of the
Company’s corporate social responsibility strategy, acting as a Company
spokesperson on issues of corporate social responsibility, and representing the
Company at industry conferences, as appropriate.  The Chairman will also assist
in such other duties and responsibilities inherent in the position of
non-executive Chairman as may reasonably be assigned to him by the Company’s
Board of Directors.  Subject to the restrictions on competition, solicitation,
and disclosure of proprietary information set forth in Sections 10 and 11 below,
the Chairman may work as an employee, director, or as a consultant for any
person or entity during the Chairmanship Period, provided that such employment
does not interfere with the performance of his duties as Chairman or constitute
a conflict of interest.  Such employment or consulting arrangement shall not in
any way violate the provisions of this Agreement, nor in any way limit the
Chairman’s right to receive the payments and benefits set forth in this
Agreement.  

5.

Compensation.  In consideration for the services to be provided during the
Chairmanship Period, the Company shall provide the Chairman with a stipend of
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) per month ($300,000 annually) (the
“Chairmanship Retainer”).  In addition, during the Chairmanship Period, the
Chairman shall be eligible for all applicable meeting fees, equity grants, and
other benefits available to non-employee directors (other than the annual
$45,000 Board retainer, which the Chairman shall not receive).  During the
Chairmanship Period, the Chairman shall be provided with use of an office
similar in size to that of other senior executives of the Company.  In addition,
prior to the commencement of each fiscal year during the Chairmanship Period,
the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer shall agree on an annual budget,
including the cost of administrative support, utilities, telephone, travel and
entertainment, and the Chairman shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and
necessary expenses incurred in connection with discharging his duties as
Chairman, provided they are within the scope of the agreed annual budget.  The
Chairman shall be solely responsible for all state and federal income taxes,
unemployment insurance and Social Security taxes on the compensation payable
pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company shall issue to the Chairman Form 1099 –
MISC for the compensation provided to him under this Section annually, in
accordance with its regular business practice.  It is the express intention of
the parties to this Agreement that during the Chairmanship Period, the Chairman
shall not be an employee of the Company for any purposes whatsoever and,
therefore, shall not be eligible for or otherwise entitled to (a) any salary,
bonuses, or long-term incentive payments; or (b) any benefit programs that the
Company may make available to its employees from time to time.

6.

Retirement Benefits.  

a.

As of the date of termination of the Chairman’s employment as described in
Section 2 above, the Chairman shall be eligible for a retirement pension benefit
payable in regular monthly installments under the Company’s qualified and
non-qualified pension arrangements, with the first such installment being paid
in the month following the Transition Date (subject to the Chairman’s timely
submission of the retirement pension benefits documentation required by the
Company) and the last such installment being paid in the month in which the
Chairman dies.  The annual pension benefit payable to the Chairman in a
single-life annuity (the “Retirement Benefits”) will equal Eight Hundred and
Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($814,500) per year from the first month
following the Transition Date through the month in which the Chairman turns age
sixty-five (65), and Seven Hundred and Ninety-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars
($796,800) thereafter.  The amounts payable under the preceding sentence shall
be reduced by (a) the annual lifetime benefits (straight life annuity) payable
under the Hasbro, Inc. Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) and (b) the annual
excess pension benefits payable under the Hasbro, Inc. Supplemental Benefit
Retirement Plan (the “Supplemental Benefit Plan”) both of which shall be payable
by the Company pursuant to the respective terms of those plans.  

b.

Any benefits pursuant to this Section will be payable in an actuarially
equivalent 100% Joint and Survivor form of pension benefit, with the Chairman’s
legal spouse as of the Transition Date as beneficiary, determined using the
actuarial conversion factors used for the Supplemental Benefit Plan.   In the
event that the commencement of any portion of the Chairman’s benefit under this
section is delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code, the amount of such benefit that is not permitted to be paid during the six
(6)month delay period shall be paid on the first date on which it may be paid,
in a single lump sum cash payment, with interest credited on the unpaid amounts
at the same rate, if any, as is provided in the Supplemental Benefit Plan for
such purpose.

c.

In the event of the Chairman’s death following the Effective Date but before the
Transition Date, an actuarially equivalent 100% Joint and Survivor pension
benefit shall be paid to the Chairman’s legal spouse commencing on the first day
of the month following the Chairman’s death.  The amount payable under the
preceding sentence shall be reduced by the Chairman’s spouse’s lifetime benefits
payable under the Pension Plan and/or the Supplemental Benefit Plan as of the
date benefits are payable under this Section.

d.

Certain of the benefits provided under this Section shall be unfunded and shall
be paid from the general assets of the Company.  The Chairman’s and/or his
spouse’s right to such benefits shall be no greater than the rights of an
unsecured general creditor of the Company.  The benefits under this Section are
not assignable by the Chairman prior to receipt.  In the event that the Company
shall adopt a policy of funding severance or non-qualified retirement benefits
that is applicable to senior executives, the benefits to the Chairman will be
funded in accordance with such policy.

7.

Outstanding Stock Options.  By virtue of the Chairman’s continued service to the
Company as a non-employee director, the currently outstanding options previously
granted to him pursuant to the Company’s 1992 Stock Incentive Performance Plan,
the 1995 Stock Incentive Performance Plan, and the 2003 Stock Incentive
Performance Plan will continue to vest in accordance with their terms during the
Chairmanship Period.  Nothing in the preceding sentence is intended to extend
the expiration date for any of the outstanding options, and to the extent the
stated expiration date for any such outstanding options occurs while the
Chairman is still a non-employee director, such applicable options would expire
in the same manner that they would expire if their expiration date occurred
during the Chairman’s service as an employee of the Company.  While clarifying
that the Chairman’s service as a non-employee director has been interpreted by
the Company’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee to result in continued
vesting of the Chairman’s outstanding stock options during the term of such
service, and that the date the Chairman ceases to be a non-employee director of
the Company will constitute his retirement date under the outstanding stock
option plans, this Agreement is not intended to change in any way the terms of
any options previously granted to the Chairman.  The Chairman understands that
the provisions of this Section may adversely affect the tax treatment of the
options referred to herein under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.  

8.

Termination.

a.

Termination Due to Death.  The Transition Period and the Chairmanship Period
shall terminate immediately upon the death of the Chairman.  In the event
termination due to the Chairman’s death occurs, the Chairman’s estate shall not
be entitled to any further payments under Section 5 of this Agreement, but his
legal spouse shall be entitled to the pension benefits described in Section 6
above.

b.

Termination Due to Disability.  The Transition Period and the Chairmanship
Period shall terminate immediately upon the Disability of the Chairman.  In the
event termination due to the Chairman’s Disability occurs, the Chairman shall
not be entitled to any further payments under Section 5 of this Agreement, but
shall receive the retiree pension benefits described in Section 6 above.  As
used in this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean the inability of the
Chairman to perform the functions of his position due to a physical or mental
disability, with or without reasonable accommodation as may be required by state
or federal law for a period of 120 days, whether or not consecutive, during a
rolling one-year period of the Chairman’s retention by the Company.  A
determination of Disability shall be made by a physician chosen by both the
Chairman and the Company, provided that if the Chairman and the Company cannot
agree on a physician, the Chairman and the Company shall each select a physician
and these two together shall select a third physician, whose determination as to
disability shall be binding on all parties.  

c.

Termination Due To Failure to Be Reelected.  The Transition Period and the
Chairmanship Period shall terminate immediately upon the failure of the Chairman
to secure reelection to the Board by shareholders as a non-employee director.
 In the event termination under this Section occurs, the Chairman shall not be
entitled to any further payments under Section 5 of this Agreement, but shall
receive the retiree pension benefits described in Section 6 above.  

d.

Termination by the Board for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, termination
by the Board for “Cause” shall mean termination of the Chairman’s position by
the Board for any of the following reasons: (a) material failure by the Chairman
to perform his duties for the Board or for the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer, which failure continues, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, after
written notice to the Chairman by the Board; (b) misconduct materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Company; (c) a conviction of a felony; (d) fraud
or embezzlement of Company assets; or (e) a material breach of any of the terms
of this Agreement including, but not limited to, a breach of the restrictions in
Sections 9, 10 and 11 below.  In the event termination under this subsection
occurs, the Chairman shall not be entitled to any further payments under Section
5 of this Agreement following the effective date of his termination for Cause.
 In addition, the Chairman shall not be entitled to the retiree pension benefits
described in Section 6 above, but shall only be entitled to amounts payable
pursuant to the express terms of the Pension Plan and the Supplemental Benefits
Plan.  

e.

Termination by the Board without Cause.  Termination by the Board without Cause
shall mean the Board’s removal of the Chairman from his position for any reason
other than as provided in sub-sections (a), (b) and (d) of this Section 8,
including, without limitation, cessation of services as Chairman in connection
with the merger of the Company into another entity.  In the event the Chairman
is removed from his position during the Chairmanship period without Cause, the
Company will continue to provide the Chairman with the remaining Chairmanship
Retainer as otherwise provided for under this Agreement, and the retiree pension
benefits described in Section 6 above.

f.

Termination by the Chairman.  In the event the Chairman chooses to resign his
position as a non-executive director during the Chairmanship Period, he shall
provide thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Company.  In such event,
the Chairman shall not be entitled to any further payments and benefits under
Section 5 of this Agreement following the effective date of his resignation.
 The Company shall continue to provide the Chairman with the retiree pension
benefits described in Section 6 above.

9.

Non-Disparagement.  During the Transition Period, the Chairmanship Period, and
at all times thereafter, the Chairman agrees that as a condition to the
Company’s execution of this Agreement, he shall not make any false, disparaging
or derogatory statements in public or private regarding the Company and its
current and former officers, directors, stockholders, agents, employees and
attorneys, or regarding the Company’s business affairs, business prospects and
financial condition.  In the event of his termination as Chairman, the Chairman
agrees to direct all inquiries regarding his relationship with the Company to
the Company’s General Counsel.  

10.

Restrictive Covenants.  

a.

Non-Competition.  In order to protect the Company’s legitimate domestic and
international business interests, the Chairman agrees that, in exchange for the
benefits provided for in this Agreement, during the Chairmanship Period and for
a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date which is the later of the
cessation date of the Chairmanship Period or the last day that the Chairman
serves as a member of the Hasbro Board of Directors (the “Non-Competition
Period”), he shall not (i) engage in any business that is competitive to the
current and planned business of the Company (including, but not limited to, any
business or enterprise that develops, manufactures, markets, or sells any
product that competes with any product developed, manufactured, marketed or
sold, or planned to be developed, manufactured, marketed or sold, by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries) in any capacity (whether as a director, stockholder,
investor, member, partner, principal, proprietor, agent, consultant, officer,
employee or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the
outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) for, with respect to or on behalf
of any person, corporation, partnership, firm, financial institution or other
business entity (including any division or unit thereof)); or (ii) serve in any
capacity (whether as a director, stockholder, investor, member, partner,
principal, proprietor, agent, consultant, officer, employee or otherwise)
anywhere in the world for, with respect to or on behalf of any person or entity
that is engaged in any business that is competitive to the current and planned
business of the Company.  

b.

Non-Solicitation.  During the Non-Competition Period, the Chairman shall not, on
his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, (i) directly or
indirectly solicit or induce any Company employee to leave or cease his or her
employment relationship with the Company for any reason whatsoever; (ii)
directly or indirectly hire or otherwise engage the services of, or assist in
hiring or engaging the services of any Company employee; (iii) solicit, or
permit any organization directly or indirectly controlled by him to solicit for
hire any employee of the Company; or (iv) solicit business from any customer,
vendor, licensor, licensee, or distributor of the Company to reduce such its
business with the Company.  

c.

Interpretation and Acknowledgment.  If any restriction set forth in this Section
10 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because
it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities
or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over
the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which
it may be enforceable.  If the Chairman violates the provisions of this Section,
he shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein until a
period of twenty-four (24) months (counting the period before the violation
commenced and after the violation has ceased) has expired without any violation
of such provisions or until the Non-Competition Period has expired, whichever is
longer.  

11.

Proprietary and Confidential Information.  

(a)

The Chairman agrees that all information, whether or not in writing, of a
private, secret or confidential nature concerning the Company’s business,
business relationships or financial affairs (collectively, “Proprietary
Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company.  By way of
illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include
discoveries, inventions, products, product improvements, product enhancements,
processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions, compounds, negotiation
strategies and positions, projects, developments, plans (including business and
marketing plans), research data, clinical data, financial data (including sales
costs, profits, pricing methods), personnel data, computer programs (including
software used pursuant to a license agreement), customer and supplier lists, and
contacts at or knowledge of customers or prospective customers of the Company.
 The Chairman will not disclose any Proprietary Information to any person or
entity other than employees of the Company or members of the Board or use the
same for any purposes (other than in the performance of his duties hereunder)
without written approval by an officer of the Company, unless and until such
Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by the
Chairman.  It is understood that disclosure of Proprietary Information by the
Chairman to a government agency or court pursuant to an order from such agency
or court shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided, however,
that: (a) prior to disclosing such information, and to the extent consistent
with applicable law, the Chairman must provide sufficient notice of any such
order to the Company to allow the Company to oppose the disclosure; and (b) any
such disclosure shall not otherwise alter the Chairman’s obligations under this
Agreement to keep such information confidential.

(b)

The Chairman agrees that all files, documents, letters, memoranda, reports,
records, data, sketches, drawings, models, laboratory notebooks, program
listings, computer equipment or devices, computer programs or other written,
photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information,
whether created by the Chairman or others, which shall come into his custody or
possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by
the Chairman only in the performance of his duties for the Company and shall not
be copied or removed from the Company premises except in the pursuit of the
business of the Company.  All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible
property of the Company in the custody or possession of the Chairman shall be
delivered to the Company, upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Board or (ii)
termination of the Chairmanship Period.  After such delivery, the Chairman shall
not retain any such materials or copies thereof nor any such tangible property.

(c)

The Chairman agrees that his obligation not to disclose or to use information
and materials of the types set forth above and his obligation to return
materials and tangible property set forth in this Section also extends to such
types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of the
Company or suppliers to the Company or other third parties who may have
disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to the Chairman.

12.

Necessity of Restrictive Covenants.  The Chairman acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Sections 10 and 11 above are necessary for the
protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and considers the
restrictions to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Chairman agrees that any
breach of Section 10 and/or 11 is likely to cause the Company substantial and
irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any breach of such Section or
Sections, the Chairman agrees that the Company, in addition to such other
remedies that may be available, shall be entitled to (a) specific performance;
(b) the entry of an injunction against him; and (c) other injunctive relief, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (a state or federal court
located either in Rhode Island or in the state of the Chairman’s primary
residence at the time of commencement of any such proceeding), all without the
Company’s posting of a bond.  

13.

Cooperation.  For a period of five (5) years following the expiration of the
Chairmanship Period, or such longer period as the Chairman and the Company may
mutually agree in writing, the Chairman agrees to fully cooperate with the
Company in connection with any defense of or prosecution by the Company
regarding any claim, arbitral hearing, action, proceeding, litigation, or
investigation in which the Chairman had either direct or indirect responsibility
at any time prior to the termination of the Chairmanship Period and in which the
Company may be involved as a party or non-party from time to time.  The Company
agrees to reimburse the Chairman for his reasonable travel expenses, if any,
incurred in connection with such cooperation.  This Section shall not apply in
connection with any proceeding in which the Chairman or his interests are
adverse to those of the Company, as determined by the Company in good faith, or
if such proceeding involves, in whole or in part, the Chairman’s violation of
any obligation which he owed to the Company or to the Board at any time.
 Nothing in this Section shall prevent the Chairman from being indemnified under
any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to the extent to which he may
be otherwise entitled.

14.

Amendment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and may not be
abandoned, supplemented, changed or modified in any manner, orally or otherwise,
except by an instrument in writing of concurrent or subsequent date signed by a
duly authorized representative of the parties.  

15.

Validity.  Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined
by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, the validity of
the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected and said illegal
and invalid part, term or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this
Agreement.

16.

Waiver.  No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this
Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right.  A waiver or
consent given by the Company on any one occasion is effective only in that
instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any
other occasion.

17.

Entire Agreement.  As of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements, written or oral, between the Chairman and the Company relating to
the subject matter of this Agreement, provided, however, that the Change in
Control Agreement by and between the Company and the Chairman dated as of July
5, 1989 and amended on March 10, 2000 shall remain in effect until the
Transition Date.  This Agreement may not be modified, changed or discharged in
whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by the Chairman and
the Company.  Nothing in this Section shall modify, cancel or supersede the
Pension Plan or Supplemental Benefit Plan, each as amended, which remain in full
force and effect.

18.

Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including
any corporation or entity with which or into which the Company may be merged or
which may succeed to its assets or business, provided however that the
obligations of the Chairman are personal and shall not be assigned by the
Chairman.  The Chairman further expressly consents to be bound by the provisions
of this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate.

19.

Governing Law, Forum and Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed as a sealed instrument under and in accordance with the laws of the
State of Rhode Island (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions
thereof).  Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding that is commenced to
resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement
shall be commenced only in a court of the State of Rhode Island (or, if
appropriate, a federal court located within Rhode Island), and the Company and
the Chairman consent to the jurisdiction of such a court; provided, however,
that except for a proceeding to enforce Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement,
which may be commenced by the Company in any court of competent jurisdiction
located either in Rhode Island or in the state in which the Chairman lives at
the time of commencement of any such proceeding, the parties agree to
participate in non-binding mediation, which shall be held in Providence, Rhode
Island by a mediator mutually agreed upon by the parties.  

20.

Release of Claims.  In exchange for the benefits provided in this Agreement, the
Chairman agrees to the provisions of this Section 20 and further agrees to
timely execute on the Transition Date a release of claims in the form attached
to this Agreement as Exhibit A as a condition of receiving the benefits provided
in Sections 4 and 5 above.  The Chairman hereby fully, forever, irrevocably and
unconditionally releases, remises and discharges the Company and its current and
former officers, directors, stockholders, agents, employees, attorneys,
corporate affiliates, and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Released Parties”),
from any and all claims, charges, complaints, suits, demands, actions, causes of
action, suits, rights, debts, sums of money, costs, accounts, reckonings,
covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, doings, omissions, damages,
executions, obligations, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and costs), of every kind and nature which he ever had or now has against the
Released Parties including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out
of his status as an officer, director, and shareholder of the Company, any and
all claims arising out of his employment with or separation from the Company,
all employment discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29
U.S.C. § 621 et seq., the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C.

seq., the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act, M.G.L. c.151B, §1 et
seq.; the Massachusetts Civil Rights Act, M.G.L. c. 12 §§ 11H and 11I; the
Massachusetts Equal Rights Act, M.G.L. c. 93 § 102 and M.G.L. c. 214, § 1C; the

to, actions in tort, defamation and breach of contract; and any claim or damage
arising out of the Chairman’s employment with and retention by or separation
from the Company (including a claim for retaliation) under any common law theory
or any federal, state or local statute or ordinance not expressly referenced
above; provided, however, that nothing in this Section (i) constitutes a waiver
of any vested benefit, if any, under any and all employee benefit plans of the
Company, including the Pension Plan and the Supplemental Benefit Retirement
Plan; (ii) affects the Chairman’s right to any funds being held for the
Chairman’s benefit or in the Chairman’s name with any Company deferred
compensation plan; (iii) affects the Chairman’s eligibility for indemnification
in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association or corporate by-laws or
under applicable law; or (iv) prevents the Chairman from filing, cooperating

Employment Practices Agency (except that he acknowledges that he may not be able
