1.    Severance.

(a)        Subject to the conditions of Section 1(e) below and the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement, if Employee's employment with the Company is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or if Employee

normal payroll practices, an aggregate amount equal to: (i) [twelve/twenty-four]
months' base salary at the highest rate paid to Employee during the three years
prior to Employee's termination, plus (ii) [one/two] times the average annual
bonus awarded to Employee for the three fiscal years ended prior to Employee's
termination (or for the period of Employee's employment by the Company if less
than three years). In addition to the foregoing severance payment, Employee
shall be entitled to receive during the [twelve/twenty-four] months following
Employee's termination continuing health insurance benefits at least equal to
the benefits received by Employee at the time of termination and otherwise in
accordance with the requirements of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1984, as amended (“COBRA”). In accordance with the
Company's current practice, the Company shall pay the full cost of the premiums
for such coverage. The Company shall also provide Employee twelve months
reasonable outplacement services.

(b)        Notwithstanding Section 1(a) above, and subject to the conditions of
Section 1(e) below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the
event that Employee's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company
for any reason other than for Cause or the Employee terminates his employment
with the Company for Good Reason either in connection with or within 24 months
following a Change in Control, Employee shall be entitled to receive as a
severance payment to be paid in equal installments over the twelve months
following Employee's termination, and in accordance with the Company's normal
payroll practices, an aggregate amount equal to: (i) [eighteen/twenty-four]
months base salary at the highest rate paid to Employee during the three years
prior to Employee's termination, plus (ii) [one-and-a-half/two] times Employee's
target annual bonus as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. In
addition to the foregoing severance payment, Employee shall be entitled to
receive during the [eighteen/twenty-four] months following Employee's
termination continuing health insurance benefits at least equal to the benefits
received by Employee at the time of termination and otherwise in accordance with
the requirements of COBRA. In accordance with the Company's current practice,
the Company shall pay the full cost of the premiums for such coverage. The
Company shall also provide Employee twelve months reasonable outplacement
services.

(c)        As used herein:

“Cause” means, in each case in the reasonable discretion of the Company's board
of directors (the “Board”): (i) Employee being charged with commission of a
crime that constitutes a felony (provided that

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

if following Employee's termination the charges are dropped or Employee is
acquitted then Employee shall be entitled to the severance payment); (ii) acts
of Employee which constitute willful fraud or dishonesty on the part of Employee
in connection with his or her duties; (iii) Employee willfully engaging in
conduct materially injurious to the Company or gross misconduct, including but
not limited to the willful or grossly negligent failure or refusal of Employee
to comply with the lawful instruction of the Board or Employee's supervisor,
after a written demand for compliance is delivered to Employee by the Board or
Employee's supervisor which specifically identifies the manner in which the
Board or Employee's supervisor believes that Employee has violated this
provision; (iv) Employee's failure, whether or not intentional, to fully comply
with: (a) the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors,
Officers and Employees, (b) the Company's Code of Ethics for Chief Executive
Officer and Senior Financial Officers; or (c) the Company's Statement of Policy
Regarding Securities Trades by Company Personnel; or (v) Employee's failure to
fully cooperate in good faith with any internal, governmental or regulatory
investigation involving or in any way related to the Company or its operations.
Any act or failure to act based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution
duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of a senior officer or counsel
for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be
done, by Employee in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

    “Change in Control” means the successful consummation of a transaction
resulting in a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the
meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or any successor statute (“Code”).

“Good Reason” means any of the following: (i) one or more reductions of
Employee's base salary amounting to 10% or more from Employee's highest previous
base salary, provided that any reduction which is generally consistent with
across-the-board reductions in pay of the Company as a whole shall not be
counted for this purpose unless a Change in Control has occurred; (ii) a
material change in the geographic location at which the Employee provides
services as of the date of this Agreement, which shall be deemed to include the
Company's requiring Employee to be based at any office or location greater than
50 miles from the office of the Company at which Employee is employed as of the
date of this Agreement; (iii) a material reduction in Employee's authorities,
duties, and responsibilities or in the authorities, duties and responsibilities
of the Employee's supervisor; (iv) a material reduction in the budget over which
the Employee retains authority; or (v) one or more other actions by the Company
which collectively amount to a material breach of this Agreement or any other
agreement between the Employee and the Company and thus constitutes a
constructive discharge of Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason
shall not be deemed to exist unless: (a) the Employee notifies the Company in
writing of the condition allegedly giving rise to such Good Reason within 90
days of the initial existence of such condition, (b) the Company does not cure
such condition within 30 days of such notice, and (c) the Employee terminates
employment with the Company as a result of such Good Reason within 120 days of
the initial existence of such condition.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if
Employee is considered a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A,
any payment that constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A that is otherwise due to the Employee as a result of such
Employee's “separation from service” under this Agreement during the six-month
period immediately following Employee's “separation from service” shall be
accumulated and paid to the Employee with interest on the first day of the
seventh month following such “separation from service” (“Delayed Payment Date”),
provided that if the Employee dies prior to the payment of such amounts, such
amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of his estate on the first
to occur of the Delayed Payment Date or 10 days following the date of Employee's
death. For purposes of this Section (d), “interest” means the prime rate, as
announced from time to time by the Company's primary commercial bank during the
six month period described above,

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

plus two percentage points, compounded annually. For purposes of Code Section
409A, the right to separate severance payment installments hereunder shall be
treated as a right to a series of separate payments. The amount of expenses
eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement or provision of in-kind
benefits hereunder (including benefits provided pursuant to Section 1(a) and (b)
above) that are taxable to the Employee during a year shall not affect the
expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other year. The right to such
reimbursement or in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit. Reimbursement of such an eligible expense shall be made in
accordance with the Company's policies and practices and as otherwise provided
herein, provided, that, in no event shall reimbursement be made after the last
day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred.

(e)    Payment of the severance benefits set forth in Section 1(a) or Section
1(b), as applicable, shall be conditioned on and subject to Employee's execution
of a release, in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit I,
of any and all claims and liabilities in favor of the Company and its successors
and affiliates, and their officers, directors, shareholders, and employees,
other than any claims under this Agreement or any rights to indemnification from
the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries pursuant to any provisions
of the Company's (or any of its subsidiaries') certificate of incorporation or
by-laws, any written indemnification agreement between the Company and the
Employee or any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained
by the Company. If the Employee fails or otherwise refuses to execute a release
(or the release is otherwise revoked or does not become effective) within sixty
(60) days after the date of termination of employment, the Employee will not be
entitled to any severance benefits. In addition, payment of the severance
benefits set forth in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b), as applicable, shall be
conditioned on and subject to Employee's compliance with the nondisclosure and
noncompetition/nonsolicitation provisions of Sections 2 and 3 below, as well as
any other restrictive covenants and confidentiality arrangements to which the
Employee is or may become subject, and, in the event of the Employee's violation
of such provisions or covenants, the Employee shall have no further right or
claim to any severance benefits and shall promptly repay any severance benefits
previously received (such repayment to be in addition to any other rights or
remedies available to the Company in respect of such violation).

2.    Nondisclosure. During the period of Employee's employment with the
Company, and after the termination thereof for any reason, Employee agrees to
use his or her best efforts to maintain and protect the secrecy of the
Confidential Information and not to directly or indirectly undertake or attempt
to undertake: (i) any disclosure of any Confidential Information to any other
person or entity; (ii) to use any Confidential Information for Employee's own
purposes; (iii) to make any copies or reproductions of any Confidential
Information; (iv) to authorize or permit any other person or entity to use,
copy, disclose, publish or distribute any Confidential Information; or (v) any
activity the Company is prohibited from undertaking or attempting to undertake
by any of its present or future clients, customers, suppliers, vendors,
consultants, agents or contractors. As used herein, “Confidential Information”
means any knowledge, information or property relating to, or used or possessed
by, the Company, and includes, without limitation, the following: trade secrets;
manufacturing or production know-how, methods and processes, patents,
copyrights, software (including, without limitation, all programs,
specifications, applications, routines, subroutines, techniques and ideas for
formulas); concepts, data, drawings, designs and documents; names of clients,
customers, employees, agents, contractors, and suppliers; marketing information;
financial information and other business records; and all copies of any of the
foregoing, including notes, extracts, memoranda prepared or directed to be
prepared by Employee based on any Confidential Information. Employee agrees that
all information possessed by Employee, or disclosed to Employee, or to which
Employee obtains access during the course of Employee's employment with the
Company shall be presumed to be Confidential Information under the terms of this
Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include any information which is

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

publicly available or which is generally known to persons employed in the
plastics processing business. Upon termination of Employee's employment with the
Company for any reason, Employee agrees not to retain or remove from the
Company's premises any Confidential Information whatsoever, and to surrender the
same to the Company, wherever it is located, immediately upon termination of
Employee's employment.

3.    Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation. Employee agrees that, during the term of
Employee's employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year after
the termination of Employee's employment with the Company (whether such
termination is with or without Cause or Good Reason or results from Employee's
resignation) Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, in any market in which
the Company then is engaged in business activities (the “Geographic Area”): (i)
engage in, consult with, be employed by or be connected with any business or
activity which directly or indirectly competes with the Company's business (a
“Competing Business”), (ii) canvass, solicit or accept any business from any of
the Company's current or former clients, (iii) own any interest in any Competing
Business (provided, however, Employee may own up to 1% of the outstanding equity
interests of any publicly traded Competing Business); (iv) assist others to open
or operate any Competing Business; (v) solicit, recommend or induce any employee
of the Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company; or (vi)
solicit, recommend or induce any customers, suppliers or any other person or
entity which has a business relationship with the Company to discontinue, reduce
or modify such relationship.. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the
Geographic Area is reasonable in scope and that the one (1) year period is
reasonable in length. Employee has agreed to the foregoing noncompetition
agreement because: (a) Employee recognizes that the Company has a legitimate
interest in protecting the confidentiality of its business secrets (including
the Confidential Information), (b) Employee agrees that such noncompetition
agreement is not oppressive to Employee nor injurious to the public, and (c) the
Company has provided specialized and valuable training and information to
Employee.

4.    Injunction. Because the award of monetary damages would be an inadequate
remedy, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining Employee from undertaking any such breach or threatened breach.
Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any
other remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages from Employee.

5. Other Benefits. Severance benefits provided under Section 1(a) or 1(b), if
any, shall be in lieu of severance benefits to which Employee may be entitled
under the Company's standard severance policy and the Employee shall be entitled
to payment of severance benefits under either Section 1(a) or 1(b) only and not
under both. However, any benefits payable under this Agreement shall be in
addition to and not in lieu of any other payments or benefits to which the
Employee may be entitled under other payroll practices or other employee benefit
plans, policies, agreements or arrangements applicable to the Employee, which
shall be governed by the terms of the respective practice, plan, policy,
agreement or arrangement (the “Other Benefits”). The Company acknowledges that
this Agreement shall not supersede, replace or apply to any benefits or
contractual rights that Employee may have with the Company under other plans,
policies or agreements relating to the Other Benefits, including with respect to
payment of accrued but unused vacation in connection with Employee's termination
of employment with the Company. Employee's rights under such other plans,
policies and agreements shall be governed by the terms of the respective plan,
policy or agreement.

6.    Amendment. No amendment, whether express or implied, to this Agreement
shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by both parties hereto.

7.    Waiver. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by the Company to or of
any breach or default by Employee in the performance of his or her agreements
hereunder shall operate as a consent to or waiver of any other breach or default
in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Employee hereunder.

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

The Company's failure to complain of any such breach or default shall not
constitute a waiver by the Company of its rights hereunder, irrespective of how
long such failure continues.

8.    Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
under, the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the parties submits to the
jurisdiction of the state court sitting in St. Louis County, Missouri or federal
court sitting in St. Louis, Missouri, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all such claims may be heard and
determined in any such court.

9.    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In
addition, should any time or area restriction contained herein be found by a
court to be unreasonable, such restriction shall nevertheless remain as to the
time or area such court finds reasonable, and as so amended, shall be enforced.

10.    Parachute Payment Limitation.

(a)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any
severance pay or benefits payable under this Agreement (without the application
of this Section 10), either alone or together with other payments, awards,
benefits or distributions (or any acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or
distribution) pursuant to any agreement, plan or arrangement with the Company or
any of its affiliates (the “Total Payments”), would constitute a “parachute
payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), then the following shall
occur:

(i)     The Company's independent auditors, or such other nationally-recognized
independent auditing firm selected by the Company (the “Auditor”), shall compute
the net present value to the Employee of all the Total Payments after reduction
for the excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and for any regular
income taxes that would be imposed on the Employee if such Total Payments
constituted the Employee's sole taxable income; and

(ii)     The Auditor shall next compute the maximum net present value of the
Total Payments that can be provided without any such Total Payments being
characterized as “Excess Parachute Payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the
Code) and reduce the result by the amount of any regular income taxes that would
be imposed on the Employee if such reduced Total Payments constituted the
Employee's sole taxable income.

(b)     If the result derived in clause (i) above is greater than the result
derived in clause (ii) above, then the Employee shall be entitled to the full
amount of the Total Payments without reduction, and otherwise subject to all
applicable terms and conditions with respect to such payments. If the result
derived from clause (i) above is not greater than the result derived in clause
(ii) above, then the Employee shall be entitled to the maximum Total Payments
possible without any such Total Payments being characterized as Excess Parachute
Payments, and otherwise subject to all applicable terms and conditions with
respect to such payments. The determination of how such Total Payments will be
reduced shall be made by Employee in good faith after consultation with the
Company and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(c)    If, as a result of any uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 at
the time of the initial determination by the Auditor under Section 10(a), the
Auditor subsequently determines that (i) the Total Payments should have been
reduced or reduced by a larger amount (an “Overpayment”), any such Overpayment,
to the extent actually paid or provided to the Employee, shall be repaid by the
Employee to the Company in full within thirty (30) days after the Employee
receives notice of the Auditor's determination; provided, however, that the
amount of the Overpayment to be repaid by the Employee to the Company shall be
reduced to the extent that the Auditor determines that any portion of the
Overpayment to be repaid will

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

not be offset by a corresponding reduction in the amount of the Employee's
Excess Parachute Payments by reason of such repayment, or (ii) the Total
Payments should not have been reduced or should have been reduced by a smaller
amount (an “Underpayment”), any such Underpayment shall be deemed vested and
payable by the Company to the Employee within thirty (30) days after the Company
receives notice of the Auditor's determination, or such later date that such
payment becomes vested and due under its terms.

(d)    The parties to this Agreement agree and stipulate that they intend that
all benefits and rights for the Employee in this Agreement that are in excess of
benefits and rights under the Severance and Noncompetition Agreement between the
parties, dated _______, 20__ are granted to the Employee in consideration for
conditioning the payment of all benefits hereunder upon compliance with the
nondisclosure and noncompetition/nonsolicitation provisions of Sections 2 and 3,
as provided in Section 1(e) above.  In determining the extent to which payments
or benefits would result in an Excess Parachute Payment or a cutback as
described in Section 10(b) is necessary, the Auditor shall determine the
appropriate portion of all cash payments and benefits hereunder which shall be
treated as reasonable compensation for Employee's obligations pursuant to
Sections 2 and 3. 

11.    Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall apply to all periods when Employee is
employed by the Company irrespective of whether or not this Agreement is
re-executed at the beginning of each such period. Any payment or benefit
provided for under this Agreement shall be made net of and otherwise subject to
any applicable withholding taxes. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties' heirs, representatives, affiliates, successors or
assigns. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to assume the
Agreement and all obligations of the Company under the Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be so obligated if no such
succession had taken place. The use of any gender shall include all other
genders. This Agreement replaces and supersedes the Severance and Noncompetition
Agreement between the parties, dated _______, 20__.
