Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement will also serve as termination
of all offices, positions and directorships held by Executive with the Company
and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates. Executive's employment will

position with reasonable accommodation for four (4) consecutive months, or for a

the provisions of Section 2(e) herein.

7.    SEVERANCE. Except in the event of a Qualified Termination within
twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, as both are defined in
the Executive Employment Continuity Agreement, and which are governed
exclusively by the EECA, Executive shall be entitled to the following
compensation, in addition to any accrued but unpaid salary, in the event that
this Agreement and his employment are terminated under the following conditions,
which are the exclusive compensation and remedies for termination of this
Agreement and the employment relationship:

a.    TERMINATION RESULTING FROM DEATH OR DISABILITY. Subject to the provisions
of Section 7(d) below, in the event Executive's employment is terminated as a
result of his death or disability, Executive or his estate shall be entitled to
(i) such life insurance or disability benefits as Executive may be entitled to
pursuant to any life or disability insurance then maintained by the Employer for
the benefit of its employees and executive officers and; (ii) a pro-rata share
of the Bonus in an amount as determined by Employer's Board of Directors in
their sole discretion, payable no later than November 30 following the end of
Employer's fiscal year during which such termination occurs; (iii) pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Employer's 2013 Cash Incentive Plan, as amended
from time to time, payment, at such time as all other participants in that plan
receive payment, of any cash incentive attributable to periods during which
Executive was employed; (iv) to the extent permitted by the terms and conditions
of Employer's 2013 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to
time, or other applicable equity incentive plan(s) and to the extent authorized
by the terms of each of Executive's outstanding award or grant agreements
entered into pursuant to such plan(s), immediate vesting of all stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, and/or stock options previously awarded
Executive; and (v) to the extent permitted by the terms and conditions of the
CMC Retirement Plan, as amended from time to time, and 2005 Benefit Restoration

Employer contribution to the Executive's account attributable to the plan year
during which termination occurs and accelerated full vesting of any previously
unvested Employer contributions to the Executive's account in such plans. Except
as otherwise provided

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

by this Section 7(a) or Section 7(d) below, any amount payable pursuant to this
Section 7(a) shall be paid on the 60th day following Executive’s termination due
to Executive’s death or disability.

b.    TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE BY EMPLOYER, NON- RENEWAL BY EMPLOYER, OR FOR
GOOD REASON BY EXECUTIVE. Except in the event of a Constructive Termination
related to a Change of Control (as both terms are defined in the Executive
Employment Continuity Agreement between the parties), in the event Executive's
employment is terminated without Cause by the Employer, or for Good Reason by
the Executive, or the Employer elects not to renew the Agreement pursuant to
Section 3 either at the end of the initial term or any successive one-year
extension, subject to Executive's execution of a general release agreement in
favor of Employer releasing all pending or potential claims, Executive shall be
entitled to: (i) an amount equal to two times the Executive's then-current
annual base salary and (ii) the benefits described above in Section 7(a)(v). If
Executive elects not to renew this Agreement, except for Good Reason, then he
shall be entitled only to any accrued but unpaid salary through the date of such
termination. Except as otherwise provided by Section 7(d) below, any amount
payable pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be paid on the 60th day following
Executive's termination.

c.    TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event Executive's employment is terminated
for Cause by Employer or without Good Reason by Executive, the Executive shall
only be entitled to accrued but unpaid salary through the date of his
termination and will not be entitled to any additional compensation or benefits
except as expressly required by applicable law concerning compensation and
benefits upon termination of employment.

d.    DELAY OF SEVERANCE PAYMENTS. To the extent that any post- termination
payments to which Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement constitute
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC), and Executive is deemed at the time of such termination to be a
"specified employee" under said Section 409A, then such payment will not be made
or commence until the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six months period
measured from the date of Executive's "separation from service" and (ii) the
date of Executive's death following such "separation from service". 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 installments)
in the absence of this Section 7(d) will be paid to Executive or Executive's
beneficiary in one lump sum.

8.    NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION, AND CONFIDENTIALITY. Employer and
Executive acknowledge and agree that while Executive is employed pursuant to
this Agreement, he will be provided access to Confidential Information of
Employer and its Affiliates, will be provided with specialized training on how
to perform his duties, and will be provided contact with Employer's and
Affiliates' customers and potential customers throughout the world. Executive
further recognizes and agrees that (a) Employer and its Affiliates have devoted
a considerable amount of time, effort, and expense to develop its Confidential
Information, training, and business goodwill, all of which are valuable assets
to the Employer; (b) that Executive will have broad responsibilities regarding
the management and operation of Employer's and Affiliates' world-wide
operations, as well as its marketing and finances, its existing and future
business plans, customers and technology; and (c) disclosure or use of
Employer's or Affiliates' Confidential Information and additional information
described herein to which Executive will have access, would cause irreparable
harm to the Employer. Therefore, in consideration of all of the foregoing,
Employer and Executive agree as follows:

5

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

a.    NON-COMPETITION DURING AND AFTER EMPLOYMENT. As stated in Section 2(c)
herein, Executive will receive Confidential Information by virtue of his
employment in an executive capacity with the Company. Accordingly, Executive
agrees that during his employment for the Company and for a period of eighteen
(18) months after termination of his employment for any reason, he will not
compete with Employer or Affiliates in any location in the world in which
Employer or Affiliates have operations as of the date of Executive's
termination, by engaging in the conception, design, development, production,
marketing, selling, sourcing or servicing of any product or providing of any
service that is substantially similar to the products or services that Employer
or any of its Affiliates provided during Executive's employment or planned to
provide during Executive's employment and of which Executive had knowledge,
responsibility or authority, and that he will not work for, assist, or become
affiliated or connected with, as an owner, partner, consultant, or in any other
capacity, either directly or indirectly, any individual or business which offers
or performs services, or offers or provides products substantially similar to
the services and products provided by Employer or Affiliates during Executive's
employment, or that were planned to be provided during Executive's employment
and of which Executive had knowledge, responsibility or authority. Additionally,
during this period, Executive will not accept employment with or provide
services in any capacity to any individual, business entity, investor, or
investment fund that is actively involved in or assessing an acquisition of a
controlling interest in the Company or purchase of substantially all assets of
the Company. The restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement are
reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect
the goodwill or other business interests of the Company.

b.    CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Executive agrees that for the duration of
Executive's employment, he will not engage, either directly or indirectly, in
any Conflict of Interest, and that Executive will promptly inform the General
Counsel as to each offer received by Executive to engage in any such activity.
Executive further agrees to disclose to Employer any other facts of which
Executive becomes aware which might involve or give rise to a Conflict of
Interest or potential Conflict of Interest.

c.    NON-SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES. Executive further agrees that
for a period of two (2) years after the termination of his employment for any
reason he will not either directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf
of others (i) solicit or accept any business from any customer or supplier or
prospective customer or supplier with whom Executive personally dealt or
solicited or had contact with at any time during Executive's employment, (ii),
solicit, recruit or otherwise attempt to hire, or personally cause to hire any
of the then current employees or consultants of Employer or any of its
Affiliates, or who were former employees or consultants of Employer or any of
its Affiliates during the preceding twelve months, to work or perform services
for Executive or for any other entity, firm, corporation, or individual; or
(iii) solicit or attempt to influence any of Employer's or any of its
Affiliates' then current customers or clients to purchase any products or
services substantially similar to the products or services provided by Employer
or Affiliates during Executive's employment (or that were planned to be provided
during Executive's employment) from any business that offers or performs
services or products substantially similar to the services or products provided
by
Employer or Affiliates.

d.
NON-DISCLOSURE OR USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

(i)    Executive further agrees that during the term of his employment and
thereafter he will not, except as Employer may otherwise consent or direct in
writing, reveal or disclose, sell, use, lecture upon, publish, or otherwise
disclose to any third party any Confidential Information or proprietary
information of Employer or Affiliates, or authorize anyone else to do these
things at any time either

6

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

during or subsequent to his employment with Employer. If Executive becomes
legally compelled by deposition, subpoena or other court or governmental action
to disclose any Confidential Information, then the Executive shall give Employer
prompt notice to that effect, and will cooperate with Employer if Employer seeks
to obtain a protective order concerning the Confidential Information. Executive
will disclose only such Confidential Information as his counsel shall advise is
legally required.

(ii)    Executive agrees to deliver to Employer, at any time Employer may
request, all documents, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, and other
documentation, models, components, devices, or computer software, whether
embodied in electronic format on a computer hard drive, disk or in other form
(and all copies of all of the foregoing), relating to the businesses, operations
or affairs of Employer or any Affiliates and any other Confidential Information
that Executive may then possess or have under his control.

(iii)    This section shall continue in full force and effect after termination
of Executive's employment and after the termination of this Agreement for any
reason, including expiration of this Agreement. Executive’s obligations under
this section of this Agreement with respect to any specific Confidential
Information and proprietary information shall cease when that specific portion
of Confidential Information and proprietary information becomes publicly known,
in its entirety and without combining portions of such information obtained
separately and without breach by Executive of his obligations under this
Agreement. It is understood that such Confidential Information and proprietary
information of Employer and Affiliates includes matters that Executive conceives
or develops during his employment, as well as matters Executive learns from
other employees of Employer or Affiliates.

e.    Survival of Restrictive Covenants. All restrictive covenants herein shall
survive termination of this Agreement and Executive’s employment, regardless of
reason, including expiration of the Agreement by passage of time and
non-renewal.

9.    REMEDIES. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
Section 8, in view of the nature of the Employer and its Affiliates' global
business and Executive's global position with the Employer, are reasonable and
necessary to protect the Employer and Affiliates' legitimate business interests,
including its Confidential Information, training and business goodwill, and that
any violation of this Agreement would result in irreparable injury to the
Employer. In the event of a breach by the Executive of any provision of Section
8, the Employer shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be
available, to a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief restraining
the Executive from the commission of any breach without the necessity of proving
irreparable harm or posting of a bond, and to recover the Employer's attorneys'
fees, costs and expenses related to the breach and any such action to enforce
the provisions of Section 8. The existence of any claim or cause of action by
Executive against the Employer, whether predicated on this Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Employer of
the restrictive covenants contained in Section 8.

10.    REFORMATION. The Executive and the Employer agree that all of the
covenants contained in Section 8 shall survive the termination of Executive's
employment and/or termination or expiration of this Agreement, and agree further
that in the event any of the covenants contained in Section 8 shall be held by
any court to be effective in any particular area or jurisdiction only if said
covenant is modified to limit in its duration or scope, then the court shall
have such authority to so reform the covenant and the Parties shall consider
such covenant(s) and/or other provisions of Section 8 to be amended and modified
with respect to that particular area or jurisdiction so as to comply with the
order of any such court and, as to all other jurisdictions, the covenants
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.
Should any court hold that these covenants are void or otherwise unenforceable
in any particular area or jurisdiction, then the Employer may consider such
covenant(s)

7

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

and/or provisions of Section 8 to be amended and modified so as to eliminate
therefrom the particular area or jurisdiction as to which such covenants are so
held void or otherwise unenforceable and, as to all other areas and
jurisdictions covered hereunder, the covenants contained herein shall remain in
full force and effect as originally written.

11.    TOLLING. If the Executive violates any of the restrictions contained in
this agreement, the restrictive period will be continued and enlarged for such
length of time as the Employee is in violation of the restrictive covenant.

12.    NOTICE TO FUTURE EMPLOYERS. If Executive, in the future, seeks or is
offered employment, or any other position or capacity with another company or
entity, the Executive agrees to inform each new employer or entity, before
accepting employment, of the existence of the restrictions in Section 8.
Further, before taking any employment position with any company or entity during
the 18-month period described in Section 8, the Executive agrees to give prior
written notice to the Employer, including the name of such company or entity and
confirming in that notice that he has provided a copy of Section 8 to such new
employer or entity.

involved in (1) the conception or making of improvements, discoveries, or

(2) the production of original works of authorship (whether or not registrable
under copyright or similar statutes) or (3) the development of trade secrets

(solely or jointly with others) within the scope of his or her employment, and

United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101) and are consequently owned
by the Employer or any of its Affiliates. Executive further acknowledges that
all improvements, discoveries, inventions, trade secrets or other form of
intellectual property is the exclusive property of Employer or any of its
Affiliates.

b.    Executive hereby waives any rights he/she may have in or to such
intellectual property, and Executive hereby assigns to Employer or any of its
Affiliates all right, title and interest in and to such intellectual property.
At Employer's or any of its Affiliates' request and at no expense to Executive,
Executive shall execute and deliver all such papers, including any assignment
documents, and shall provide such cooperation as may be necessary or desirable,
or as Employer or any of its Affiliates may reasonably request, to enable
Employer or any of its Affiliates to secure and exercise its rights to such
intellectual property.

14.    RETURN OF PROPERTY. All lists, records, designs, patents, plans, manuals,
memoranda and other property delivered to the Executive by or on behalf of
Employer or any of its Affiliates or by any of their clients or customers, and
all records and emails compiled by the Executive that pertain to the business of
the Employer or any of its Affiliates (whether or not confidential) shall be and
remain the property of the Employer and be subject at all times to its
discretion and control. Likewise, all correspondence and emails with clients,
customers or representatives, reports, research, records, charts, advertising

employment with Employer (a) will not result in a breach of any of Executive's
obligations and agreements with any current or former employer, partnership or
other person and (b) would not otherwise result in any liability to Employer or
any of its Affiliates. In addition, Executive represents to Employer that he is
not a party or subject to (i) any restrictive covenants, including without
