Plan”) in which the Executive participates or which is applicable to the
Executive immediately prior to the Measurement Date, unless an equitable
arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been

facts and circumstances providing a basis for termination of the Executive’s

(h)           OTHER TERMINATION BENEFITS.  In the case of any of the foregoing
terminations, to the extent not previously paid or provided or otherwise
contrary to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Executive or his
estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall also be entitled to the
balance of any incentive awards due the Executive but not yet paid (including
without limitation awards due for performance periods that have been completed,
but have not yet been paid), any expense reimbursements due the Executive, and
other benefits, if any, in accordance with applicable plans or programs of or
contracts or agreements of the Executive with the Company.

(i)            TERMINATION IN CONNECTION WITH A CHANGE IN CONTROL. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that
(A) a Change of Control occurs; and (B) the Executive’s employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good
Reason, in each case within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control,
the Executive shall be entitled to the following

12

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

 

payments and benefits, with any cash payments to be made in a lump sum within
thirty (30) days following the Termination Date:

(i)            the sum of (A) the Executive’s Base Salary through the
Termination Date, (B) the product of (x) the annual bonus paid or payable
(including without limitation any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned
but deferred) for the most recently completed fiscal year and (y) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through
the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is 365 and (C) the amount of
any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued
interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the
extent not previously paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (A),
(B), and (C) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”);

(ii)           an amount equal to (A) one and one-half (1.5) multiplied by (B)
the sum of (x) the Executive’s highest annual base salary in any twelve-month
period (on a rolling basis) during the five-year period prior to the Change in
Control Date and (y) the Executive’s highest annual bonus in any twelve-month
period (on a rolling basis) during the five-year period prior to the Change in
Control Date;

(iii)          for eighteen months after the Termination Date, or such longer
period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program,
practice or policy, the Company shall continue to provide benefits to the
Executive and the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have
been provided to them if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in
accordance with the applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Measurement Date
or, if more favorable to the Executive and his family, in effect generally at
any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its
affiliated companies; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes
reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive a particular type of
benefit (e.g., health insurance benefits) from such employer on terms at least
as favorable to the Executive and his family as those being provided by the
Company, then the Company shall no longer be required to provide that particular
benefit to the Executive and his family; and

(iv)          to the extent not previously paid or provided, the Company shall
timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to
be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive following the
Executive’s termination of employment under any plan, program, policy, practice,
contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies.

For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of
benefits) of the Executive for retiree benefits to which the Executive is
entitled, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed by the
Company until three years after the Termination Date.

(j)            OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES.  In the event that the Executive’s
employment is terminated in accordance with Section 10 without Cause or for Good
Reason, the Company shall provide outplacement services through one or more
outside firms of the Executive’s choosing up

13

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

 

to an aggregate of $20,000, with such services to extend until the earlier of
(i) twelve (12) months following the Termination Date or (ii) the date on which
the Executive secures full time employment, or, at the Executive’s election, the
Company shall pay the Executive $20,000 in cash in lieu of such coverage with
such payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date.

(k)           NATURE OF PAYMENTS.  Any amounts due under this Section 10 are in
the nature of severance payments considered to be reasonable by the Company and
are not in the nature of a penalty.

(l)            NO MITIGATION; NO OFFSET.  The Executive shall not be required to
mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided in this Section 10 by
seeking other employment or otherwise.  Further, except as provided in this
Section 10, the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in this Section
10 shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result
of employment by another employer or be offset by any amount claimed to be owed
by the Executive to the Company.

(m)          RELEASE.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Company’s obligation to pay or provide any benefits to the Executive under this
Agreement shall be subject to the requirement that he execute (and not breach or
rescind) a comprehensive release in favor of the Company, its officers,
directors and related parties, with such release to be in such form as the
Company may determine as of the Termination Date.

(n)           CODE SECTION 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
in this Agreement, in the event any payment or payments to which the Executive
becomes entitled under this Agreement in connection with his termination of
employment constitute deferred compensation subject to Code 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 the
Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is at the time defined in
Treasury Regulations under Code Section 409A) with the Company or (ii) the date
of the Executive’s 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 the Executive, including (without limitation) the
additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which the Executive would otherwise be
liable in the absence of such deferral.  During any period payment or payments
to the Executive are deferred pursuant to the foregoing, the Executive shall be
entitled to interest on the deferred payment or payments at a per annum rate
equal to the highest rate of interest applicable to six (6)-month money market
accounts offered by the following institutions:  Citibank N.A., Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. or Bank of America, on the date of 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 in
installments) in the absence of this paragraph shall be paid to the Executive or
his beneficiary in one lump sum, and all remaining payments shall be made in
accordance with their normal payment schedule hereunder.

(o)           TAXES.

(i)            In the event that the Company undergoes a Change in Ownership or
Control (as defined below), and in connection with such event or thereafter, the

14

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

 

Executive becomes eligible to receive Contingent Compensation Payments (as
defined below) the Company shall, as soon as administratively feasible after the
Executive becomes so eligible determine and notify the Executive (with
reasonable detail regarding the basis for its determinations) (i) which of the
payments or benefits due the Executive in connection with or following such
Change in Control constitute Contingent Compensation Payments, (ii) the amount,
if any, of the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) payable pursuant to Section 4999 of
the Code, by the Executive with respect to such Contingent Compensation Payment
and (iii) the amount of the “Gross-Up Payment” (as defined below) due to the
Executive with respect to such Contingent Compensation Payment.  Within thirty
(30) days after delivery of such notice to the Executive, the Executive shall
deliver a response to the Company (the “Executive Response”) stating either (A)
that he agrees with the Company’s determination pursuant to the preceding
sentence or (B) that he disagrees with such determination, in which case he
shall indicate which payment and/or benefits should be characterized as a
Contingent Compensation Payment, the amount of the Excise Tax with respect to
such Contingent Compensation Payment and the amount of the Gross-Up Payment due
to the Executive with respect to such Contingent Compensation Payment.  If the
Executive states in the Executive Response that he agrees with the Company’s
determination, the Company shall make the Gross-Up Payment to the Executive
within three (3) business days following delivery to the Company of the
Executive Response.  If the Executive states in the Executive Response that he
disagrees with the Company’s determination, then, for a period of fifteen (15)
days following delivery of the Executive Response, the Executive and the Company
shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute.  If such dispute is not
resolved within such fifteen (15)-day period, such dispute shall be settled
exclusively by arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.  Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.  The Company
shall, within three (3) business days following delivery to the Company of the
Executive response, make to the Executive those Gross-Up Payments as to which
there is no dispute between the Company and the Executive regarding whether they
should be made.  The balance of the Gross-Up Payments shall be made within three
(3) business days following the resolution of such dispute.  The amount of any
payments to be made to the Executive following the resolution of such dispute
shall be increased by the amount of the accrued interest thereon computed at the
prime rate announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal compounded
monthly from the date that such payments originally were due.  In the event that
the Executive fails to deliver an Executive Response on or before the required
date, the Company’s initial determination shall be final.

(ii)           For purposes of this Section 10(o), the following terms shall
have the following respective meanings:

(A)                              “Change in Ownership or Control” shall mean a
change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership
of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company determined in accordance
with Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

15

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

 

(B)                                “Contingent Compensation Payment” shall mean
any payment (or benefit) in the nature of compensation that is made or supplied
to a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Code Section 280G(c)) and that is
contingent (within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i)) on a Change in
Ownership or Control of the Company.

(C)                                “Gross-Up Payment” shall mean an amount equal
to the sum of (i) the amount of the Excise Tax payable with respect to a
Contingent Compensation Payment and (ii) the amount necessary to pay all
additional taxes imposed on (or economically borne by) the Executive (including
the Excise Taxes, state and federal income taxes and all applicable withholding
taxes) attributable to the receipt of such Gross-Up Payment.  For purposes of
the preceding sentence, all taxes attributable to the receipt of the Gross-Up
Payment shall be computed assuming the application of the maximum tax rates
provided by law.

11.                                 TREATMENT OF EQUITY GRANTS UPON CHANGE IN
CONTROL.

In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, each Equity Grant held by
the Executive, whether or not issued under this Employment Agreement, that has
not vested prior to the date of such occurrence shall immediately vest (and all
relevant vesting restrictions shall lapse) and to the extent subject to an
exercise period, shall remain exercisable until the termination date specified
in Section 10 of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the accelerated
vesting described in this Section 11 shall not be contingent on the termination
of the Executive’s employment with the Company; and (ii) if, pursuant to the
terms of the relevant Company equity compensation plan or of the relevant Equity
Grant instrument, a longer exercise period than the period provided for in
Section 10 is applicable, then such longer exercise period shall control.

12.                                 CONFIDENTIALITY & ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS.

(a)           The Executive has previously executed and delivered to the Company
the Company’s standard employee Confidential Information and Invention
Assignment Agreement, and acknowledges that he continues to be bound by that
Agreement.

(b)           Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive
(or in the event of his death, the Executive’s personal representative) shall
promptly surrender to the Company the original and all copies of any materials
containing confidential information of the Company which are then in the
Executive’s possession or control; provided, however, that the Executive shall
not be required to surrender his rolodexes, personal diaries and other items of
a personal nature.

13.                                 NON-COMPETITION; NON-SOLICITATION.

(a)           The Executive acknowledges (i) that in the course of his
employment with the Company he has and will become familiar with trade secrets
and customer lists of, and other

16

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

 

confidential information concerning, the Company and its Affiliates, customers,
and clients and (ii) that his services will be of special, unique and
extraordinary value to the Company.

(b)           The Executive agrees that, during the Employment Term and for a
period of one year following his termination of employment for any reason (the
“Non-Competition Period”), he shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly,
through any person, firm, corporation or enterprise, alone or as a member of a
partnership or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor or employee of or
advisor or consultant to any person, firm, corporation or enterprise or
otherwise, engage or be engaged, or assist any other person, firm, corporation
or enterprise in engaging or being engaged (collectively, the “Restricted
Activity”), in any Competitive Activity (as defined below). For the purposes of
this Section 13, a “Competitive Activity” shall mean unless otherwise determined
by the Board a business that (i) is being conducted by the Company or any
Affiliate at the time in question and (ii) was being conducted, or was under
active consideration to be conducted, by the Company or any Affiliate, at the
date of the termination of the Executive’s employment.  It is agreed and
understood that the prohibitions provided for in this Section 13(b) shall not
restrict the Executive from engaging in Restricted Activity for any subsidiary,
division or Affiliate or unit of a company (collectively a “Related Entity”) if
that Related Entity is not engaged in a Competitive Activity, irrespective of
whether some other Related Entity of that company engages in what would
otherwise be considered to be a Competitive Activity (as long as Executive does
not engage in Restricted Activity for such other Related Entity).

(c)           The Executive further agrees that during the Non-Competition
Period he shall not (i) in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicit or
recruit (or attempt to solicit or recruit) any employee of or advisor or
consultant to the Company or its Affiliates to terminate such person’s
employment or advisor or consultant relationship with the Company or its
Affiliates, work for a person other than the Company or its Affiliates, work as
an independent contractor, or engage in any activity that would cause any such
employee, advisor or consultant to violate any agreement with the Company or its
Affiliates, or (ii) in connection with any business to which Section 13(b)
applies, call on, service, solicit or otherwise do business with any customer of
the Company or any of its Affiliates whom the Executive solicited or did
business with on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates, or with whom the
Executive otherwise became acquainted as a result of the Executive’s employment
with the Company or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the restriction
contained in clause (ii) of this Section 13(c) shall not apply to, or interfere
with, the proper performance by the Executive of his duties and responsibilities
under Section 3 of this Agreement.

(d)           Nothing in this Section 13 shall prohibit the Executive from being
a passive owner of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding common
stock, capital stock and equity of any firm, corporation or enterprise so long
as the Executive has no active participation in the management of business of
such firm, corporation or enterprise.

(e)           If the restrictions stated herein are found by a court to be
unreasonable, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or
geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for
the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall revise the
restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area
permitted by law.

17

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

 

(f)            The post-termination restrictions of Section 13(b) will not apply
and will not be enforced by the Company with respect to post-termination
competitive activity by the Executive that occurs in California.

(g)           The post-termination restrictions of Section 13(c)(ii) will not
apply and will not be enforced by the Company with respect to post-termination
solicitation of customers that occurs in California and does not involve the
Executive’s use of trade secrets or Confidential Information of the Company or
its Affiliates.

14.                                 REMEDIES.

Each of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce its rights
under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and costs (including
without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) caused by any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its
favor.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be
an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that
any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of
competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 14 is
intended to prevent the parties from raising any and all defenses with respect
to the necessity for, and scope of, such injunctive or equitable relief.

15.                                 NON-DISPARAGEMENT

The Executive agrees not to disparage the name, business reputation or business
practices of the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or
their (or their subsidiaries’ or affiliates’) officers, employees and directors
and the Company agrees not to disparage the name or business reputation of the
Executive.  If either party fails to comply with this provision, the other party
shall have the right to respond truthfully to such disparaging statements,
notwithstanding the terms of this Section 15.

injunctive relief, any disputes arising under or in connection with this

Arbitration Association.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s)
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

17.                                 EXPENSES.

Subject to the provisions of Section 14, in the event any party hereto (for the

adjudication of, or an award in arbitration to enforce, the Aggrieved Party’s
rights under, or to recover damages for the breach of, this Agreement, the
Aggrieved Party shall be entitled to recover from the other party or parties, as
the case may be, and shall be indemnified by the other party or parties, as the
case may be, against, any and all costs actually and reasonably incurred by the
Aggrieved Party in

reasonable attorney’s fees, but only if the Aggrieved Party prevails in such
proceeding.
