4.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    By Death. If the Executive dies prior to the expiration of the Employment
Term, his

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

Exhibit 10.1

bonus pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, and accrued but unused vacation will be
prorated pursuant to Section 4 (f) through the day of his death and shall be
paid in a lump sum to his beneficiaries or estate six (6) months after the
Executive's death; provided that the manner and timeframe in which the bonus
will be paid shall be pursuant to Section 4(f). In addition, Executive agrees to
enroll in the Company's life insurance plan, and Company will provide a benefit
to Executive's estate equal to the amount, if any, such life insurance benefit
is less than Executive's Annual Base Salary hereunder. Thereafter, the Company's
obligations hereunder shall terminate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, any amounts due to Executive under Sections 3 (e) and 3 (f)
herein shall be paid to him in a lump sum in accordance with those sections.
(b)    By Disability. Executive agrees to enroll in the Company's disability
plans. If the Executive becomes "Permanently Disabled" (as defined below) prior
to the expiration of the Employment Term, then the Company shall be entitled to
terminate his employment, subject to the requirements of applicable law, and the
Executive shall be entitled to receive disability benefits in accordance with
the Company's disability plans as of the date of such disability. Six (6) months
after any such termination, the Executive will be paid in a lump sum the
difference, if any, by which amounts paid under such disability plans are less
than the greater of (i) two and half times the Annual Base Salary in effect
immediately prior to termination, or (ii) $1.25 million, and his bonus pursuant
to Section 3(b) hereof will be prorated through the date of termination and paid
to him in a lump sum six (6) months after his date of termination. Additionally
the Executive shall receive a cash lump sum payment on the date of termination
for accrued but unused vacation for the year of termination, and thereafter the
Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive hereunder other than
to provide the Executive with the disability benefits as set forth in this
subparagraph. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the Executive shall be
deemed “Permanently Disabled” when, and only when, the Company determines, after
consultation with the Executive's physician or a physician whom the Company
shall select, that the Executive suffers a physical or mental disability that
prevents the Executive from performing the essential duties of his position with
reasonable accommodations as may be required by law: (i) for a period of one
hundred twenty (120) consecutive days; or (ii) for an aggregate of one hundred
fifty (150) business days in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, any amounts due to Executive under
Sections 3 (e) and 3 (f) hereof shall be paid to him in a lump sum in accordance
with those sections.
(c)    By the Company For Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive for
“Cause” (as defined below), then the Company shall pay a lump sum to the
Executive six (6) months after such termination in an amount equal to his
accrued Annual Base Salary and accrued but unused vacation plus all business
expenses and the car allowance through the date of such termination, and
thereafter the Company shall have no obligations to the Executive hereunder. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) any act or omission that
constitutes a material breach by the Executive of any of his obligations under
this Agreement, or under any other material agreement with, or material written
policy of the Company, which act or omission is not cured within thirty (30)
days of the Company providing the Executive with notice of the act, omission, or
failure deemed to constitute Cause; (ii) the failure or refusal by the Executive
to follow any lawful reasonable written direction of the Board, which failure or
refusal is not cured within thirty (30) days of the Company providing the
Executive with reasonably detailed written notice of the failure or refusal
deemed to constitute Cause; (iii) the conviction of the Executive of a felony or
a crime involving moral turpitude, or the perpetration by the Executive of a
fraud; or (iv) any other willful act or omission by the Executive which the
Company reasonably believes is or will be materially injurious to the financial
condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to,
the Company, which act or omission is not cured within thirty (30) days of the
Company providing the Executive with reasonably detailed written notice of the
act or omission deemed to constitute Cause.
(d)    By the Executive For Good Reason. The Executive may terminate, without
liability,

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

Exhibit 10.1

the Employment Term for “Good Reason” (as defined below) upon advance written
notice of thirty (30) business days to the Company if such circumstance claimed
to constitute Good Reason is not cured within such 30-day period. Six (6) months
after such termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum in an
amount equal to the greater of (i) two and half times the Annual Base Salary in
effect immediately prior to termination, or (ii) $1.25 million. In addition, the
Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum six (6) months after such
termination his accrued Base Salary, accrued but unused vacation, outstanding
business expenses, and pro-rated bonus pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof through
the date of such termination. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Company will also provide the Executive with continued coverage under the
Company's benefit plans and the benefits described in Sections 3(d), 3(e) and
3(f) herein for a period of two (2) years following such termination or at
Executive's option solely with respect to automobile and related expenses a lump
sum payment in an amount equal to said benefits for a twenty-four (24) month
period to be paid six (6) months after the date of such termination.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such coverage cannot be
continued to the Executive after such termination of employment, the Company
shall, six (6) months after such termination, pay the Executive in a lump sum an
amount equivalent to the cost of such coverage. Thereafter, the Company's
obligations hereunder shall terminate. For purposes of this Agreement, Good
Reason shall exist if: (i) there is a permanent assignment to the Executive of a
role materially inconsistent with, or which constitutes a material adverse
diminution in, the Executive's position, duties, responsibilities, or status
with the Company, or a material adverse diminution in the Executive's reporting
responsibilities, title, or offices; or (ii) there is a material breach by the
Company of this Agreement or any other material agreement between the Company
and the Executive or (iii) Executive is required to relocate his principal place
of employment to a location outside a radius of 50 miles from Company's offices,
in Lowell, Massachusetts.
(e)    By the Company other than by Reason of Death, Disability, or Cause. If
the Company terminates the Executive's employment for any reason other than
death, disability, or Cause, the Company shall pay to the Executive six (6)
months after the date of the Executive's separation from service (as defined by
Reg. § 1.409-A-3) a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (i) two and half
times the Annual Salary in effect immediately prior to termination, or (ii)
$1.25 million. In addition, the Company shall pay to the Executive six (6)
months after such termination in a lump sum his accrued Base Salary, accrued but
unused vacation, outstanding business expenses, and pro-rated bonus pursuant to
Section 3(b) hereof through the date of such separation. To the extent permitted
by law, the Company will also provide the Executive with continued coverage
under the Company's benefit plans and the benefits described in Sections 3(d),
3(e) and 3(f) herein for a period of two (2) years following such separation
except that automobile and related expenses shall be paid in a lump sum payment
in an amount equal to said benefits for a twenty-four (24) month period to be
paid six (6) months after the date of such separation. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if such coverage cannot be continued to the Executive
after such separation of service, the Company shall, within six (6) months after
such separation, pay the Executive in a lump sum an amount equivalent to the
cost of such coverage. Thereafter, the Company's obligations hereunder shall
terminate.
(f)    Bonus Calculation. The Board shall determine the amount of pro-rated
bonus due to the Executive under Section 3(b) hereof for the fiscal year in
which any termination of employment occurs pursuant to Section 4(a) (b), (d) or
(e) by calculating the bonus that would have been paid to the Executive as if he
had remained employed through the end of the fiscal year and multiplying that
amount by the number of days of such fiscal year during which the Executive was
employed by the Company divided by 365 days.
5.    Proprietary Information.
(a)    Defined. "Proprietary Information" is all proprietary, secret, or
confidential information pertaining to the business of the Company.
(b)    General Restrictions on Use. The Executive agrees to hold all Proprietary
Information

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

directly or indirectly, disclose, use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from
the Company's premises any Propriety Information except: (i) during the
Employment Term to the extent necessary to carry out the Executive's
responsibilities under this Agreement; (ii) to the extent that such Proprietary
Information is generally available to the public other than as a result of
disclosure by the Executive; and (iii) after termination of the Employment Term
as specifically authorized in writing by the Board.
6.    No Assignment.
(a)    Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be
assignable by the Executive, his beneficiaries, or legal representatives without
the Company's prior written consent; provided that nothing in this subsection
6(a) shall preclude the Executive from designating a beneficiary to receive,
upon his death, any benefit payable hereunder, or the executors, administrators,
or other legal representatives of the Executive's estate from assigning any
rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto.
(b)    Except as otherwise required by law, without the Company's prior written
consent, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to
anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge,
pledge, or hypothecation, or to exclusion, attachment, levy, or similar process
or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to
effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect.
(c)    The Company agrees that in any Change of Control the terms of this
Agreement will survive and will be assumed by any successor to Company in such
Change of Control. In the event that this Agreement is not assumed by a
successor to the Company in a Change of control, the Company shall pay in a lump
sum six (6) months following the Change of Control an amount equal to the
greater of (i) two and half times the Annual Base Salary in effect immediately

entitled to exercise more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of all
capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at elections of directors.
