either party at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that Executive

the Company at least sixty (60) days advance written notice of any voluntary
resignation of Executive's employment hereunder (and in such event the Company
in its sole discretion may elect to accelerate Executive's date of termination
of employment, it being understood that such termination shall still be treated
as a voluntary resignation for purposes of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive's employment shall automatically terminate upon Executive's
death.

(b)    Following any termination of Executive's employment, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the Company to
pay or provide Executive with compensation and benefits under Section 3 shall
cease, and the Company shall have no further obligations to provide compensation

(ii) as explicitly set forth in any other benefit plans, programs or
arrangements applicable to terminated employees in which Executive participates,
other than severance plans or policies, and as otherwise expressly required by
applicable law (collectively, the "Accrued Obligations").

(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, if Executive's employment is terminated
(I) by the Company without Cause or due to the Company's election not to extend
the Term beyond the scheduled expiration of the Term on the Expiration Date as

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

d Reason, then Executive, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, shall be
entitled to receive (A) Executive's Base Salary as in effect on the date of
termination paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments during the twelve (
12) month period immediately following such termination, and (B) if an Annual
Bonus would otherwise have been payable to Executive under Section 3(b) above
for the year in which Executive's employment terminates had Executive remained
employed, a prorated portion of that Annual Bonus amount (prorated by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed in the
calendar year as of the date of employment termination, and the denominator of
which is 365), payable at the time the Annual Bonus would otherwise have been
payable had Executive remained employed (collectively, the "Severance
Payments").

d.Any payments or benefits under Section 4(c), shall be (A) conditioned upon
Executive and the Company having executed an irrevocable waiver and general
release of claims in the Company's customary form (the "Release") that has
become effective in accordance with its terms within sixty (60) days after the
date of termination, (B) subject to Executive's continued compliance with the
terms of this Agreement and (C) subject to Section 26.

e.For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means: (A) the Executive's substantial
and repeated failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the Board (not
as a consequence of Disability) after written notice thereof and failure to cure
within ten (I0) days; (B) the Executive's misappropriation or fraud with regard
to the Company or its Affiliates or their respective assets; (C) conviction of,
or the pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony, or any other crime
involving either fraud or a breach of the Executive's duty of loyalty with
respect to the Company or any Affiliates thereof, or any of its customers or
suppliers that results in material injury to the Company or any of its
Affiliates; (D) the Executive's violation of the written policies of the Company
or any of its Affiliates, or other misconduct in connection with the performance
of his duties that in either case results in material injury to the Company or
any of its Affiliates, after written notice thereof and failure to cure within
ten (10) days; or (E) the Executive's breach of any material provision of this
Agreement, including without limitation the confidentiality and
non-disparagement provisions and the non-competition and
non-solicitation provisions to which the Executive is subject, including without
limitation Sections 5 and 6 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive will
have no cure right if Executive is not reasonably capable of prompt cure.

f.For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means Executive would be entitled
to long-term disability benefits under the Company's long-term disability plan

inability to perform Executive's duties and responsibilities hereunder due to
physical or mental illness or incapacity that is expected to last for a
consecutive period of ninety (90) days or for a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days in any three hundred sixty five (365) day period as determined by the
Board in its good faith judgment.

g.For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any
of the following events without Executive's prior express written consent: (A)
any reduction in Executive's Base Salary or Target Bonus percentage, or any
material diminution in Executive's authorities, titles or offices, or the

duties normally assigned to a Chief Accounting Officer of a corporation of the
size and nature of the Company; (B) any relocation of Executive's principal
place of employment, to a location more than seventy-five (75) miles from the
Executive's principal place of employment on the date hereof; or (C) any
material breach by the Company, or any of its Affiliates, of any material
obligation to Executive; provided however, that prior to resigning for Good
Reason, Executive shall give written notice to the Company of the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such resignation not more than
thirty (30) days following his knowledge of such facts and circumstances, and
the Company shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure
such facts and circumstances (and if so cured then Executive shall not be
permitted to resign for Good Reason in respect thereof).

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

h.Upon termination of Executive's employment for any reason, upon the Company's
request Executive agrees to resign, as of the date of such termination of
employment or such other date requested, from the Board and any committees
thereof (and, if applicable, from the board of directors (and any committees
thereof) of any Affiliate of the Company) to the extent Executive is then
serving thereon and Executive agrees to execute any documents reasonably
required to effectuate the foregoing.

i.The payment of any amounts accrued under any benefit plan, program or
arrangement in which Executive participates shall be subject to the terms of the
applicable plan, program or arrangement, and any elections Executive has made
thereunder. Except as prohibited by the terms of any Company benefit plan,
program or arrangement, the Company may offset any amounts due and payable by

Company or its affiliates may have against him or any rem1meration or other
benefit earned or received by the Executive after such termination.

5.Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. For purposes of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
and 11 of this Agreement, references to the Company shall include its
subsidiaries and Affiliates.

(a)Executive agrees that Executive shall not, while an employee of the Company
and during the twelve (12) month period following termination of employment
(such collective duration, the "Restriction Period"), directly or indirectly,
without the prior written consent of the Company:

i.(A) engage in activities or businesses (including without limitation by owning
any interest in, managing, controlling, participating in, consulting with,
advising, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging in the business of

anything prohibited by this Section 5(a)(i)(A) above; or

ii.perform any action, activity or course of conduct which is substantially
detrimental to the businesses or business reputations of the Company and

or other business relation of, the Company; or (D) assisting any Person in any
way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by Section 5(a)(ii)(A), (B) or

The Restriction Period shall be tolled during (and shall be deemed automatically
extended by) any period in which Executive is in violation of the provisions of
this Section 5(a) unless provided below.

(b)The provisions of Section 5(a) shall not be deemed breached as a result of
Executive's passive ownership of less than an aggregate of three percent (3%) of
any class of securities of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in
Competitive Activities, so long as Executive does not actively participate in
the business of such Person; provided, however, that such stock is listed on a
national securities exchange (for the sake of clarity, Executive shall remain
bound by the other restrictive covenants in this

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

agreement, including but not limited to Section 6 hereof).

(c)Without limiting the generality of Section 11, notwithstanding the fact that
any provision of this Section 5 is determined not to be specifically
enforceable, the Company may nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary
damages as a result of Executive's material breach of such provision.

(d)Executive acknowledges that the Company has a legitimate business interest
and right in protecting its Confidential Information (as defined below),

and customer relationships and goodwill. Executive acknowledges that Executive
is being provided with significant additional consideration (to which Executive
is not otherwise entitled), including stock options and restricted stock, to
induce Executive to enter into this Agreement. Executive expressly acknowledges
and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable
with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area. Executive
further acknowledges that although Executive's compliance with the covenants
contained in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 may prevent Executive from earning a
livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, Executive's
experience and capabilities are such that Executive has other opportunities to
earn a livelihood and adequate means of support for Executive and Executive's
dependents.

6.

Therefore, Executive agrees that Executive shall not disclose to any
unauthorized Person or use for Executive's own purposes any Confidential

extent that the aforementioned matters become generally known to and available
for use by the public other than as a result of Executive's acts or omissions in
violation of this Agreement; provided, however, that if Executive receives a
request to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a deposition,
interrogatory, request for information or documents in legal proceedings,
subpoena, civil investigative demand, governmental or regulatory process or
similar process, to the extent permitted by law, (i) Executive shall promptly
notify in writing the Company, and consult with and assist the Company in
seeking a protective order or request for other appropriate remedy, (ii) in the
event that such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or if the Company
waives compliance with the terms hereof, Executive shall disclose only that
portion of the
Confidential Information which, in the written opinion of Executive's legal
counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable best
efforts to provide that the receiving Person shall agree to treat such
Confidential Information as confidential to the extent possible (and permitted
under applicable law) in respect of the applicable proceeding or process and
(iii) the Company shall be given an opportunity to review the Confidential
Information prior to disclosure thereof.

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means information,
observations and data concerning the business or affairs of the Company,
including, without limitation, all business information (whether or not in
written form) which relates to the Company, or its customers, suppliers or
contractors or any other third parties in respect of which the Company has a
business relationship or owes a duty of confidentiality, or their respective
businesses or products, and which is not known to the public generally other

involvement with the Company or information rightfully obtained from a third
party (other than pursuant to a breach by Executive of this Agreement). Without
limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees to keep confidential the existence of,
and any information concerning, any dispute between Executive and the Company,
except that Executive may disclose information concerning such dispute to his
immediate family, to the court that is considering such dispute or to
Executive's legal counsel and other professional advisors (provided that such
counsel and other advisors agree not to disclose any such information other than
as necessary to the prosecution or defense of such dispute).

(c)Executive further agrees that Executive will not improperly use or disclose
any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers
or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and

former employer or other Person.

while an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including
but not limited to Confidential Information and Inventions (as defined below))
are and shall remain the property of the Company, and Executive shall
immediately return such property to the Company upon the termination of
Executive's employment and, in any event, at the Company's request. Executive
further agrees that any property situated on the premises of, and owned by, the
Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work
areas, is subject to inspection by the Company's personnel at any time with or
without notice.

work, improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, source and object codes,
programs, matters of a literary, musical, dramatic or otherwise creative nature,

jointly with others (collectively, "Inventions"), shall be works-made-for-hire
and the Company shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any
and all trade secret, patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights
(collectively, "Proprietary Rights") of whatsoever nature therein, whether or
not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed,
with the right to use the same in perpetuity in any manner the Company
determines in its sole discretion, without any further payment to Executive
whatsoever. If for any reason, any of such results and proceeds shall not
legally be a work­ made-for-hire and/or there are any Proprietary Rights which
do not accrue to the Company under the immediately preceding sentence, then
Executive hereby irrevocably assigns any agrees to assign any and all of
Executive's right, title and interest thereto, including any and all Proprietary
Rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known,
existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company, and the Company
shall have the right to use the same in perpetuity throughout the universe in
any manner determined by the Company without any further payment to Executive
whatsoever. As to any Invention that Executive is required to assign, Executive
shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company all information known to
Executive concerning such Invention.

(b)Executive agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company
and at the Company's sole cost and expense, Executive shall do any and all
things that the Company may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or
document the Company's exclusive ownership throughout the United States of
America or any other country of any and all Proprietary Rights in any such
Inventions,

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

including the execution of appropriate copyright and/or patent applications or
assignments. To the extent Executive has any Proprietary Rights in the
Inventions that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, Executive
unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such Proprietary
Rights. This Section 8(b) is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit,
restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company of any Proprietary Rights of
ownership to which the Company may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of
the Company's being Executive's employer. Executive further agrees that, from
time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company's sole cost
and expense, Executive shall assist the Company in every proper and lawful way
to obtain and from time to time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to
Inventions in any and all countries. Executive shall execute, verify and deliver
such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness)
as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining,
perfecting, evidencing, sustaining, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and
the assignment thereof. In addition, Executive shall execute, verify and deliver
assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designees.
Executive's obligations under this Section 8 shall continue beyond the
termination of Executive's employment with the Company.

(c)Executive hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of
any nature whatsoever, that Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement
of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

9.Nondisparagement. Executive shall not, whether in writing or orally, malign,
denigrate or disparage the Company or its predecessors and successors, or any of
the current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners,
members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, with respect to any
of their respective past or present activities, or otherwise publish (whether in
writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned
parties in an unfavorable light; provided that nothing herein shall or shall be
deemed to prevent or impair Executive from, in the course of and consistent with
his duties for the Company, making public comments which include good faith,
candid discussions, or acknowledgments regarding the Company's performance or
business, or discussing other officers, directors, and employees in connection
with normal performance evaluations, or otherwise testifying truthfully in any
legal or administrative proceeding where such testimony is compelled, or
requested or from otherwise complying with legal requirements.

10.Notification of Subsequent Employer. Executive hereby agrees that prior to
accepting employment with, or agreeing to provide services to, any other Person
during any period during which Executive remains subject to any of the covenants
set forth in Section 5, Executive shall provide such prospective employer with
written notice of such provisions of this Agreement, with a copy of such notice
delivered simultaneously to the Company.

11.Remedies and Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that a violation by
Executive of any of the covenants contained in Section 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 would
cause irreparable damage to the Company in an amount that would be material but
not readily ascertainable, and that any remedy at law (including the payment of
damages) would be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company
shall be entitled (without the necessity of showing economic loss or other
actual damage) to injunctive relief (including temporary restraining orders,
preliminary injunctions and/or permanent injunctions) in any court of competent
jurisdiction for any actual or threatened breach of any of the covenants set
forth in Section 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 in addition to any other legal or equitable
remedies it may have. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as a waiver
of the rights that the Company may have for damages under this Agreement or
otherwise, and all of the Company's rights shall be unrestricted.

12.Representations of Executive; Advice of Counsel. (a) Executive represents,
warrants and covenants that as of the date hereof: (i) Executive has the full
right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and perform
Executive's obligations hereunder, (ii) Executive is not bound by any agreement
that conflicts with or prevents or restricts the full performance of Executive's
duties and obligations to the Company hereunder during or after the Term and
(iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not result in any

breach or violation of, or a default under, any existing obligation, commitment
or agreement to which Executive is subject.

with counsel. Executive further represents that in entering into this Agreement,
Executive is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the
Company's directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set
forth herein, and that Executive is relying only upon Executive's own judgment
and any advice provided by Executive's attorney.

13.Cooperation. Executive agrees that, upon reasonable notice and without the
necessity of the Company obtaining a subpoena or court order, Executive shall
provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any suit, action or proceeding
(or any appeal from any suit, action or proceeding), and any investigation
and/or defense of any claims asserted against any of Executive and the Company,
its respective Affiliates, their respective predecessors and successors, and all
of the respective current or former directors, officers, employees,
shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the
foregoing, which relates to events occurring during Executive's employment with
the Company and its Affiliates as to which Executive may have relevant
information (including but not limited to furnishing relevant information and
materials to the Company or its designee and/or providing testimony at
depositions and at trial), provided that with respect to such cooperation
occurring following termination of employment, the Company shall reimburse
Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith, and further
provided that any such cooperation occurring after the termination of
Executive's employment shall be scheduled to the extent reasonably practicable
so as not to unreasonably interfere with Executive's business or personal
affairs.

14.Withholding Taxes. The Company may deduct and withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other taxes
as are required or permitted to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.

15.Assignment. (a) This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior
written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive, except for
the assignment by will or the laws of descent and distribution of any accrued
pecuniary interest of Executive, and any assignment in violation of this
Agreement shall be void. The Company may assign this Agreement, and its rights
and obligations hereunder, to any of its Affiliates.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the
parties to it and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and
permitted assigns (including, without limitation, successors by merger,
consolidation, sale or similar transaction, and, in the event of Executive's
death, Executive's estate and heirs in the case of any payments due to Executive
hereunder).

(b)Executive acknowledges and agrees that all of Executive's covenants and
obligations to the Company, as well as the rights of the Company hereunder,

16.
Protected Rights

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement
that Executive may have entered with the Company prior to the date hereof,
including, but not limited to, any prior employment agreement (collectively, the
"Agreements"), nothing contained in any of the Agreements (i) prohibit Executive
from reporting to the staff of the SEC possible violations of any law or
regulation of the SEC, (ii) prohibit Executive from making other disclosures to
the staff of the SEC that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of
any federal securities laws or regulations or (iii) limit Executive's right to
receive an award for

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

information provided to the SEC staff in accordance with the foregoing. Please
note that Executive does not need the prior authorizations of the Company to
engage in such reports, communications or disclosures and Executive is not
required to notify the Company if Executive engages in any such reports,
communications or disclosures.

17.Governing Law; No Construction Against Drafter. This Agreement shall be
deemed to be made in the State of Delaware, and the validity, interpretation,
construction, and performance of this Agreement in all respects shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles
of conflicts of law. No provision of this Agreement or any related document will
be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by
any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party
having or being deemed to have structured or drafted such provision.

18.Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, Executive and the Company each hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division (or, if subject matter
jurisdiction in that court is not available, in any state court located within
the State of Indiana) over any dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the
parties undertake not to commence any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement in a forum other than a forum described in this
Section 18(a); provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Company
from bringing any suit, action or proceeding in any other court for the purposes
of enforcing the provisions of this Section 18 or enforcing any judgment
obtained by the Company.

(a)The agreement of the parties to the forum described in Section 18(a) is
independent of the law that may be applied in any suit, action, or proceeding
and the parties agree to such forum even if such forum may under applicable law
choose to apply non-forum law. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter have to
personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in an applicable court described in Section 18(a), and the
parties agrees that they shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal
jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court. The
parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final
and non-appealable judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any
applicable court described in Section 18(a) shall be conclusive and binding upon
the parties and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction.

(b)The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of any and all process
in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
by the mailing via certified mail of copies of such process to such party at
such patty's address specified in Section 23.

(c)Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party
hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other
party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the
event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver
and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party hereto has been induced to
enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and
certifications in this Section 18(d).

(d)Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any dispute arising
out of or relating to this Agreement; provided that, the Company shall reimburse
the Executive for reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses to the extent that
Executive substantially prevails as to a material issue with respect to any
matters subject to dispute hereunder.

19.Amendment; No Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be amended,
modified, waived or discharged except by a written document signed by Executive
and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). The failure
of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any
occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party's rights or deprive such
party of the

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

right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term
of this Agreement. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right
or power hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment of any steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or power.

20.Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal
or incapable of being enforced by any applicable law or public policy, all other
conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full
force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse
to any party; provided, however, that if any term or provision of Section 5, 6,
7, 8 or 9 is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable
law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement
shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent
permitted by law; provided further, that in the event that any court of
competent jurisdiction shall finally hold in a non-appealable judicial
determination that any provision of Section 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 (whether in whole or
in part) is void or constitutes an unreasonable restriction against Executive,
such provision shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed to be modified to
the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable for the longest
duration and the greatest scope as such court may determine constitutes a
reasonable restriction under the circumstances. Subject to the foregoing, upon
such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to
modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the
transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to
the fullest extent possible.

21.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, constitutes
the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings (whether written or oral), between Executive and the Company,
relating to such subject matter. None of the parties shall be liable or bound to
any other party in any manner by any representations and warranties or covenants
relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company intends to enter into a separate
standard indemnification agreement with the Executive.

22.Survival. The rights and obligations of the parties under the provisions of
this Agreement shall survive, and remain binding and enforceable,
notwithstanding the expiration of the Term, the termination of this Agreement,
the termination of Executive's employment hereunder or any settlement of the
financial rights and obligations arising from Executive's employment hereunder,
to the extent necessary to preserve the intended benefits of such provisions.

23.Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by
facsimile or electronic image scan (pdf) or sent, postage prepaid, by
registered, certified or express mail or overnight courier service and shall be
deemed given when so delivered by hand or facsimile, or if mailed, three days
after mailing (one business day in the case of express mail or overnight courier

26.
Section 409A.

(a)For purposes of this Agreement, "Section 409A" means Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder (and such other Treasury or Internal Revenue
Service guidance) as in effect from time to time. The parties intend that any
amounts payable hereunder that could constitute "deferred compensation" within
the meaning of Section 409A will be compliant with Section 409A or exempt from
Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to,
and the Executive shall be solely liable and responsible for, any taxes or
penalties that may be imposed on such Executive under Section 409A of the Code
with respect to Executive's receipt of payments hereunder.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following
special rule shall apply, if and to the extent required by Section 409A, in the
event that
(i)Executive is deemed to be a "specified employee" within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i),
(ii)amounts or benefits under this Agreement or any other program, plan or
arrangement of the Company or a controlled group affiliate thereof are due or
payable on account of "separation from service" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section l.409A-l (h) and (iii) Executive is employed by a public
company or a controlled group affiliate thereof: no payments hereunder that are
"deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A shall be made to Executive prior
to the date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive's separation from
service or, if earlier, Executive's date of death; following any applicable six
(6) month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on
the earliest permissible payment date.

(c)Any payment or benefit due upon a termination of Executive's employment that
represents a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A shall
commence to be paid or provided to Executive 61 days following a "separation
from service" as defined in Treas. Reg. § l.409A-l(h), provided that Executive
executes, if required by Section 4(d), the release described therein, within 60
days following his "separation from service." Each payment made under this
Agreement (including each separate installment payment in the case of a series
of installment payments) shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes
of Section 409A. Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be deemed not to be
a "deferral of compensation" subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in
the exceptions in Treasury Regulation §§ l.409A-l(b)(4) ("short-term deferrals")
and (b)(9) ("separation pay plans," including the exception under subparagraph
(iii)) and other applicable provisions of Section 409A. For purposes of this
Agreement, with respect to payments of any amounts that are considered to be
"deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A, references to "termination of
employment", "termination", or words and phrases of similar import, shall be
deemed to refer to Executive's "separation from service" as defined in Section
409A, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with
the requirements of Section 409A.

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

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any payment or
benefit under this Agreement or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A
pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-l(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) (relating to
certain reimbursements and in-kind benefits) shall be paid or provided to
Executive only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the benefits
are not provided, beyond the last day of the second calendar year following the
calendar year in which Executive's "separation from service" occurs; and
provided further that such expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of
the third calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive's
"separation from service" occurs. To the extent any indemnification payment,
expense reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit is determined to
be subject to Section 409A (and not exempt pursuant to the prior sentence or
otherwise), the amount of any such indemnification payment or expenses eligible
for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year
shall not affect the indemnification payment or provision of in-kind benefits or
expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year (except for any
life-time or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), and in
no event shall any indemnification payment or expenses be reimbursed after the
last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive
incurred such indemnification payment or expenses, and in no event shall any
right to indemnification payment or reimbursement or the provision of any
in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Any
tax gross-up payment or benefit under this Agreement will be treated as
providing for payment at a specified time or on a fixed schedule of payments to
the extent that the payment is made by the end of Executive's taxable year next
following Executive's taxable year in which Executive remits the related taxes.
