5. COMPENSATION. During the Term of this Agreement, Executive’s compensation
shall be determined and paid as follows.

combinations and other adjustments to its capital stock.  The stock option is
conditioned upon approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and execution of
the Company’s Stock Option Agreement and related documents.

(d)BENEFITS. Executive shall be eligible to participate in such other benefits
as are provided from time to time to other executive-level employees of the
Company. Such benefits will be provided and administered in accordance with the

the Company.

PDA and laptop computer.

(g)RELOCATION BENEFITS.  The Company agrees to reimburse you up to a maximum of
$50,000 for all expenses related to your relocation to the metropolitan
Philadelphia area, as those items are defined in the Company’s Relocation
Policy.  If you separate from employment by resignation or termination for cause
(as defined below) within twenty-four (24) months of your start date with the
Company, then you shall be responsible to repay to Company any and all amounts
reimbursed to you, or paid on your behalf, by Company with respect to your
relocation (“Relocation Expenses”).  In the event repayment is required, the
Company, in its discretion, is authorized to deduct the amount of any Relocation
Expenses from any sums payable to you, including but not limited to any
paychecks, commission payments, severance payments, bonus payment, and the value
of any and all accrued sick or vacation time.  The Company may also elect to
issue an invoice for all or party of the Relocation Expenses, which shall be
payable in full by you within ten (10) days of receipt.

(a) VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION BY EXECUTIVE. Executive may terminate his employment
by delivery of written notice to the Company.

(b) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE. The Company may terminate
Executive’s employment by delivery of written notice to Executive.

(c) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE. While Executive is employed by the

hereinafter defined, immediately upon written notice to Executive. “Cause” shall
be decided by a majority vote of the Board of Directors of the Company other
than Executive and shall mean:

breach, if curable, is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice
of such breach has been given to Executive; or

the Company and/or Board of Directors, which failure, if curable, is not cured
within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such failure has been given to

2

 

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

 

(iv) Any failure by Executive to fully disclose any material conflict of
interest he may have with the Company in a transaction involving the Company
which conflict is materially detrimental to the interest of the Company; or

(v) Any adverse act or omission that would be required to be disclosed pursuant
to securities laws or that would limit the ability of the Company or any entity
affiliated with the Company to sell securities under any federal or state law or
that would disqualify the Company or any affiliated entity from any exemption
otherwise available to it, all of which are deemed for purposes of this
Agreement to be materially detrimental to the interests and well-being of the
Company.

(d) OTHER TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. While the Company employs Executive, the
Company may immediately terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of any of
the following events:

(i) This Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder shall immediately
terminate without notice in the event of death of the Executive. Such
termination shall not prejudice any benefits payable to Executive or Executive’s
beneficiaries that are fully vested or accrued as of the date of death; however,
Executive’s estate will not be entitled to any other compensation under this
Agreement.

(ii) This Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder shall immediately
terminate upon written notice to Executive if Executive is unable, due to a
disability, to perform the essential functions of his job, with or without a
reasonable accommodation, for a period of sixty (60) continuous days. Such
termination shall not prejudice any benefits payable to Executive or Executive’s
beneficiaries that are fully vested or accrued as of the termination date;
however, the Company shall have no further obligation or liability to Executive
under this Agreement.

(iii) This Agreement shall terminate in the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or discontinuance of business by the Company or the filing of any
petition by or against the Company under any federal or state bankruptcy or
insolvency laws, which petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days
after filing.

(e) TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON. During the Term of this Agreement,
Executive may terminate his employment under this Agreement at any time for
“Good Reason.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means:

(i) Any materially adverse change or material diminution in the office, title,
duties, powers, authority or responsibilities of Executive; or

(ii) Failure of the Company to pay Executive any Base Salary or bonus that has
become due and payable; or

(iii) A material reduction in Base Salary; or

(iv) A relocation of Executive’s principal worksite of more than 25 miles unless
such relocation reduces Executive’s commute to such worksite; or

(v) Any material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Company.

However, none of the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Good Reason
unless Executive provides the Company with written objection to the event or
condition within 90 days following the occurrence thereof, the Company does not
reverse or otherwise cure the event or condition within thirty (30) days of
receiving that written objection, and Executive resigns his employment within
thirty (30) days following the expiration of that cure period.

(f) TERMINATION FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL. If (i) all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company are sold, liquidated or distributed or (ii) the
Company is party to a merger or consolidation, or (iii) a person or entity or
related persons or entities acquire a majority of the total voting power of the
Company’s then-outstanding equity securities  (each, a “Change in Control”), the
Company may terminate the Executive’s employment without cause or the Executive
may resign his employment with the Company under circumstances establishing Good
Reason.    

(g) RESIGNATION AS OFFICER AND DIRECTOR. It is understood that if Executive has
been, or at any time hereafter is, appointed to the Board of Directors of the
Company, upon termination of this Agreement and Executive’s

3

 

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

 

employment hereunder for any reason, unless otherwise agree between the Company
and Executive, Executive shall also be deemed to have resigned as a member, if
applicable at such time, of the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as any and
all positions Executive may hold as an officer of the Company.

7. PAYMENTS ON TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement and Executive’s
employment hereunder for any reason, all salary and benefits accrued and
unreimbursed expenses due as of the date of termination shall be paid to
Executive on the Company’s next regular payday.

(a) Termination Without Severance Benefits. If this Agreement and Executive’s
employment hereunder is terminated (i) by Executive for any reason other than
Good Reason, including but not limited to termination pursuant to Subsection
6(d) above, or (ii) pursuant to Subsection 6(a) (voluntary resignation), or
Subsection 6(c) (by the Company for “Cause”), no other payment or severance
benefit will be payable to Executive by the Company.

(b) Termination with Severance Benefits. If Executive’s employment is terminated
pursuant to Subsection 6(b) (by the Company without “Cause”), 6(e) (for “Good
Reason”) or 6(f) (“Change in Control”), then Executive shall be entitled to
receive: (i) a severance equal to the Base Salary paid in equal installments
each month over a period of twelve (12) months; and (ii) reimbursement for
monthly premiums paid by Executive for his (and, if applicable, his spouse’s and
dependents’) continued coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) under the group health, dental and/or
vision plans sponsored by the Company (or any of its affiliates) for a period of
twelve (12) months.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount shall be payable to Executive under
this Section 7 unless at the time of resignation or termination, Executive has
been employed by Company for more than three (3) months.

Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, the severance benefits described in the
preceding paragraph are conditioned on Executive’s execution and delivery to the
Company and the expiration of all applicable statutory revocation periods, by
the 60th day following the effective date of his cessation of employment, of a
general release of claims against the Company substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”). Subject to the following paragraph, the
severance benefits described in the preceding paragraph will be begin to be paid
or provided as soon as administratively practicable after the Release becomes
irrevocable, provided that if the 60-day period described above begins in one
taxable year and ends in a second taxable year such payments or benefits shall
not commence until the second taxable year.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no portion of the
benefits or payments to be made under Section 7(b) hereof will be payable until
Executive has a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In
addition, to the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §
1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the
application of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code to payments due
to Executive upon or following his “separation from service”, then
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise
applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are
otherwise due within six months following Executive’s “separation from service”
(taking into account the preceding sentence of this paragraph) will be deferred
without interest and paid to Executive in a lump sum immediately following that
six month period. This paragraph should not be construed to prevent the
application of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (or any successor provision) to
amounts payable hereunder. For purposes of the application of Section 409A of
the Code, each payment in a series of payments will be deemed a separate
payment.

8. WITHHOLDING FROM AND OFFSET OF SEVERANCE BENEFITS. The obligation of the
Company to make any payment pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement shall be
subject to the following:

(a) Taxes. The Company shall withhold all applicable federal, state and local
taxes as required by relevant law and regulation then in effect including,
without limitation FICA and other taxes.

(b) Debts and Liabilities of Executive. The Company may withhold from or offset
against its payment(s) to Executive any liabilities or debts of Executive to the
Company.

9. Section 409A.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, except to the
extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to Executive does
not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code, and its implementing regulations and guidance, (i) the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive
during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive in any other calendar
year, (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Executive is entitled to be
reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year
following

4

 

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

 

the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred and (iii) the
right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be
liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

(b) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all benefits or payments
provided by the Company to Executive that would be deemed to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, distributions may only be made under
this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the
Code or an applicable exemption.

(c) If the application of Section 409A impacts Company’s tax liability, then
Executive agrees to reimburse Company in the amount of the liability incurred.

liable with any of them (hereinafter, "those associated with Globus").

I agree that I have voluntarily executed this release on my own behalf, and also
on behalf of any heirs, agents and representatives that I may have now or in the

or lawsuit or other proceeding brought by you or on your behalf by any third
party, except for any right I may have to receive a payment or award from a
government agency (and not the Company) for information provided to the
government agency or otherwise where prohibited. 

This Agreement shall operate as a general release of any and all claims to the
fullest extent of applicable law.  I acknowledge and understand that the

further notice to me. Globus reserves the right to rescind this Agreement at any
time on written notice during this 30 day period.

I understand this Agreement is not effective or enforceable for seven (7) days
after I sign it, and I may revoke it during that time (“Revocation Period”).  I
have not been pressured or coerced to waive this Revocation Period.  To revoke,
I agree to return the full amount of any check I received from Globus under this
Release, together with a written notice of revocation addressed to Kelly G.

Inc., 2560 General Armistead Avenue, Audubon, PA 19403.  I understand and agree
that this must be done before the conclusion of the seventh day after I sign the
release; that if Ms. Huller does not receive a written revocation and the sum
stated above by the end of the seven day period, this release will become fully
enforceable at that time; and that revocation of this release does not alter or
affect the termination of my employment with Globus.

In case any part of this release shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  This release
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I understand and agree to this Agreement, have had the opportunity to review it
with counsel, and have signed it freely and voluntarily.
