agrees not to work for, own, manage, operate, control, service, serve as a
director of or participate directly in the ownership, management, operation or
control of Emerson Electric Co., Advantech Co., Ltd., Kontron AG, or ADLink
Technology Inc.; provided, however, investment in a collective investment fund
that holds no more than one percent of the outstanding common stock of any such
company shall not be deemed to be a violation of this restrictive covenant. The
Company intends this restrictive covenant to be enforced to the extent permitted
by applicable law. Executive agrees that in the event any court of competent
jurisdiction finds that this restrictive covenant is unreasonable with respect
to its territorial extent, scope and/or period of time, such finding will not
invalidate this provision with respect to the territorial extent, scope or
period of time which is reasonable, and this restriction will be construed to
apply only to the territory, scope and/or period of time so found to be
reasonable by said court. Executive acknowledges that breach or threatened
breach of this restrictive covenant will cause irreparable harm to the Company

injunction by any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent breach or further
breach of this restrictive covenant, in addition to any other remedy available

constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to Executive’s
employment on and after the Closing Date, the Integration Services, the
Integration Period and the Termination Date and that, effective as of the
Effective Time, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements
relating to the matters covered by this Agreement, including but not limited to
the offer letter from the Company to Executive dated September 16, 2002, the
Amended and Restated Executive Severance Agreement by and between Executive and
the Company dated December 24, 2008, and the Amended and Restated Executive
Change of Control Agreement by and between Executive and the Company dated

oral or written, express or implied, relating to any matters covered by this
Agreement.

 

13. Governing Law

the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

 

14. Amendment

No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is
agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and the Company.

 

15. Severability

If any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if
such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement.

 

16. Code Section 409A

If at the time of payment hereunder any payment or any portion of a payment to
be paid upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code
Section 409A) cannot be characterized as a “short term deferral” for purposes of
Code Section 409A, or as otherwise exempt from the provisions of Code
Section 409A, and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” under
Code Section 409A, then such payment or portion of the payment shall be delayed
until the date that is the earlier to occur of (i) Executive’s death or (ii) the
date that is six months and one day following the Termination Date. For all
purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to have terminated
employment with the Company when Employee incurs a “separation from service”
with the Company within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and the
applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder. For purposes of applying
the provisions of Code Section 409A, each separately identified amount to which
Executive is entitled shall be treated as a separate payment, and the
entitlement to a series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a
series of separate payments.

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

The time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement may not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted
under Code Section 409A. Furthermore, if any payments are to be made within a
specified period of time or during a calendar year, the date of such payment
shall be in the sole discretion of the Company.

This Agreement and the compensation and other benefits provided hereunder are
intended to qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A where applicable,
provided, however, that if this Agreement and the compensation and other
benefits provided hereunder are not so exempt, they are intended to comply with
Code Section 409A to the extent applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted
and construed consistent with this intent, provided that the Company shall not
be required to assume any increased economic burden in connection therewith.
Although the Company intends to administer this Agreement so that it will comply
with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or
warrant that this Agreement will comply with Code Section 409A or any other
provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. Neither the
Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, nor their respective directors,
officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to Executive (or any other
individual claiming a benefit through Executive) for any tax, interest, or
penalties Executive may owe as a result of compensation paid under this
Agreement, and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates shall have no
obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive from the obligation to
pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, by its duly authorized representative, and
Executive have executed this Agreement on the date first above written, which
Agreement shall be effective at the Effective Time and shall be of no force or
effect prior to such time or in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated
prior to the consummation of the merger described therein.
