Executive provides Company with receipts to substantiate the business expense in
accordance with Company’s policies or otherwise reasonably justifies the expense
to Company.
5. DEATH OR DISABILITY.
(a) Death. This Agreement shall terminate upon Executive’s death, but
Executive’s estate shall be entitled to receive the Base Salary for ninety
(90) days following the date of Executive’s death. Company shall also pay to
Executive’s estate (1) with respect to any Incentive Compensation Plan with
quarterly objectives, the sum of (i) a prorated portion of any incentive

died) for the quarter in which Executive died and (ii) the amount of incentive
compensation for the last completed quarter prior to the date of Executive’s
death, plus (2) with respect to any Incentive Compensation Plan with annual
objectives, a prorated bonus for the year in which the Executive died, each to

of Executive to perform Executive’s essential job duties, with or without a
reasonable accomodation, for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days or for
sixty (60) days within any period of one-hundred and eighty (180) days due to a

be determined by a physician selected by Company. If this Agreement is
terminated due to Executive’s Disability, Executive shall receive the Base
Salary for ninety (90) days following the date of termination and (1) with
respect to any Incentive Compensation Plan with quarterly objectives, the sum of
(i) a prorated portion of any incentive compensation to which Executive would
have been entitled (had termination not occurred) for the quarter in which this
Agreement is terminated due to Executive’s disability and (ii) the amount of
incentive compensation for the last completed quarter prior to the date of
termination, plus (2) with respect to any Incentive Compensation Plan with
annual objectives, a prorated bonus for the year in which termination occurs,
each to be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable, allowing Company a
sufficient amount of time to calculate such amount.
6. TERMINATION BY COMPANY.
(a) Termination for Cause. Company may terminate this Agreement at any time
during the Initial Term or any Renewal Terms for “Cause” upon written notice to
Executive. If Company terminates this Agreement for “Cause,” Executive’s Base
Salary shall immediately cease, and Executive shall not be entitled to severance
payments, incentive compensation payments or any other payments or benefits
pursuant to this Agreement, except for any vested rights pursuant to any benefit
plans in which Executive participates and any accrued compensation, accrued and
unused vacation pay and similar items.

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

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean the termination of
Executive’s employment by Company for one or more of the following reasons:
(1) the misappropriation (or attempted misappropriation) of any of Company’s
funds or property; (2) the conviction of, or the entering of a guilty plea or
plea of no contest with respect to, a felony or misdemeanor which involves moral
turpitude or a fraudulent act; (3) willful or repeated neglect of duties (after
notice and an opportunity to cure); (4) acts of material dishonesty, disloyalty
or insubordination toward Company; (5) violation of Company’s Values or any

Agreement. If Executive is terminated for Cause, Company shall be obligated to
pay Executive only the Base Salary (from Section 3(a)) and benefits (from
Section 4) due to Executive through the termination date, and Executive will not
be entitled to, nor will Executive receive, any type of severance payment.
(b) Termination Without Cause. Company also may terminate Executive’s employment
at any time during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term without Cause. Company
may, at its discretion, place Executive on a paid administrative leave prior to
the actual date of termination set by Company. During the administrative leave,
Company may bar Executive’s access to Company’s offices or facilities if
reasonably necessary to the smooth operation of Company, or may provide
Executive with access subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as Company
chooses to impose.
(c) Continued Compensation. Should Executive’s employment by Company be
terminated without Cause, Executive shall receive as a lump sum within three
(3) business days (or sooner if required by law) following such termination the
total amount of Executive’s base salary for the remainder of the Initial Term or
current Renewal Term. Executive shall have no duty to mitigate damages in order
to receive the compensation described by this Subsection, and the compensation
shall not be reduced or offset by other income, payments or profits received by
Executive from any source.
(d) Incentive Compensation. If Executive is terminated for Cause, Executive
shall not be entitled to receive any incentive compensation payments for the
quarter in which Executive’s employment is terminated or for any other periods.
If Executive is terminated without Cause, Executive shall receive, in a lump
sum, an amount equal to (1) with respect to any Incentive Compensation Plan with
quarterly objectives, the sum of (i) a prorated bonus for the quarter in which
the termination takes place and (ii) four times Executive’s bonus for the last
completed quarter, plus (2) with respect to any Incentive Compensation Plan with
annual objectives, a prorated bonus for the year in which the termination takes
place (as so calculated, the “Incentive Severance Compensation”), each to be
paid as soon as reasonably practicable, allowing Company a sufficient amount of
time to calculate such amount. Executive shall have no duty to mitigate damages
in order to receive the compensation described by this Subsection, and the
compensation shall not be reduced or offset by other income, payments or profits
received by Executive from any source.
(e) Other Plans. Except to the extent specified in this Section 6 and as
provided in this Subsection (e), termination of this Agreement shall not affect
Executive’s participation in, distributions from, and vested rights under any
employee benefit, stock option, restricted stock or other equity-based plan of,
or maintained by or for, Company, which benefits will be governed by the terms
of those respective plans, in the event of Executive’s termination of
employment.

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

 

7. TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE.
(a) General. Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without
“Good Reason” by providing Company with thirty (30) days advance written notice.
Company may, at its discretion, place Executive on a paid administrative leave
during all or any part of any such notice period. During the administrative
leave, Company may bar Executive’s access to Company’s offices or facilities if
reasonably necessary to the smooth operation of Company, or may provide
Executive with access subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as Company
chooses to impose.

mean and include each of the following (unless Executive has expressly agreed to
such event in a signed writing): (1) assignment of Executive to a position that
is not substantially executive in nature; (2) any material act or acts of
dishonesty by Company directed toward or affecting Executive; (3) any illegal
act or instruction directly affecting Executive by Company, which is not
withdrawn after the Company is notified of the illegality by Executive; or
(4) Company’s material breach of this Agreement (after notice and an opportunity
to cure).
(c) Effect of Good Reason Termination. If Executive terminates this Agreement
for Good Reason (as defined in Section 7(b)), it shall for all purposes be
treated as a termination by Company without Cause.
(d) Effect of Termination without Good Reason. If Executive terminates this
Agreement without Good Reason, while the termination shall not be characterized
as a termination for Cause, it shall for all purposes, result in the same
compensation as a termination for Cause.
8. CHANGE IN CONTROL OF COMPANY.
(a) Continued Eligibility to Receive Benefits. Company considers the maintenance
of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the
best interests of Company and its shareholders. In furtherance of such goal and
in further consideration of Executive’s continued employment with Company, if a
Change in Control occurs, Executive shall be entitled to a lump-sum severance
benefit provided in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8 if, prior to the
expiration of twelve (12) months after the Change in Control, Executive notifies
Company of Executive’s intent to terminate employment with Company for Good
Reason or Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause. If Executive
triggers the application of this Section by terminating employment for Good
Reason, Executive must do so within sixty (60) days following Executive’s
receipt of notice of the occurrence of the last event that constitutes Good
Reason. The full severance benefits provided by this Section shall be payable
regardless of the period remaining until the expiration of the Agreement without
renewal.
(b) Receipt of Benefits. If Executive is entitled to receive a severance benefit
pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, Company will provide Executive with Executive’s
Base Salary for the remainder of the Initial Term or current Renewal Term plus
the Incentive Severance Compensation, to be paid as soon as reasonably
practicable, allowing Company a sufficient amount of time to calculate such
amount.

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

 

Executive shall have no duty to mitigate damages in order to receive the
compensation described by this Subsection. If Executive is entitled to receive
the payments called for by this Section 8(b), Executive’s right to receive the
compensation provided by Section 6(c) or 7(c) shall be reduced to the extent of
such payments.
(c) Change in Control Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in
Control” means any one or more of the following events:

  (1)   a change of control of the Company through a transaction or series of
transactions, such that any person (as that term is used in Section 13 and
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”)), excluding
affiliates of the Company as of the Effective Date, is or becomes the beneficial
owner (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act) directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

  (2)   any merger, consolidation or liquidation of the Company in which the
Company is not the continuing or surviving company or pursuant to which stock
would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger
of the Company in which the holders of the shares of stock immediately before
the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the
surviving company immediately after the merger;

  (3)   the shareholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

  (4)   substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold or otherwise
transferred to parties that are not within a “controlled group of corporations”
(as defined in Section 1563 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) in
which the Company is a member at the Relevant Date.

(d) Notice of Termination by Executive. Any termination by Executive under this
Section 8 shall be communicated by written notice to Company, which notice shall
set forth generally the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
such termination.
(e) Employment by Successor. For purposes of this Agreement, employment by a
successor of Company or a successor of any subsidiary of Company that has
assumed this Agreement shall be considered to be employment by Company or one of
its subsidiaries. As a result, if Executive is employed by such a successor
following a Change in Control, Executive will not be entitled to receive the
benefits provided by Section 8 unless Executive’s employment with the successor
is subsequently terminated without Cause within twelve months following the
Change in Control or Executive terminates employment for Good Reason.

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

 

9. CONFIDENTIALITY.
Because of Executive’s knowledge of and participation in executive issues and
decisions as a result of Executive’s present and former executive positions, for
purposes of Sections 9 and 10 of this Agreement, “Company” shall be interpreted
to include Company and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
Executive covenants and agrees to hold in strictest confidence, and not disclose
to any person, firm or company, without the express written consent of Company,
any and all of Company’s confidential data, including but not limited to
information and documents concerning Company’s business, clients, and suppliers,
market methods, files, trade secrets, or other “know-how” or techniques or
information not of a published nature or generally known (for the duration they
are not published or generally known) which shall come into Executive’s
possession, knowledge, or custody concerning the business of Company, except as
such disclosure may be required by law or in connection with Executive’s
employment hereunder or except as such matters may have been known to Executive
at the time of Executive’s employment by Company. This covenant and agreement of
Executive shall survive this Agreement and continue to be binding upon Executive
after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, whether by passage of
time or otherwise so long as such information and data shall be treated as
confidential by Company.
10. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
(a) Covenant not to Compete. In consideration of Company’s agreements contained
herein and the payments to be made by it to Executive pursuant hereto, Executive
agrees that, for a period of time equal to the time remaining in the Initial
Term or any Renewal Term (or if, but only if, a court or tribunal of final
authority finds that this period is unenforceable because it is unreasonably
long, then, if it would shorten the duration, for six months) following the
termination of Executive’s employment for any reason and so long as Company is
continuously not in material default of its obligations to provide payments or
employment-type benefits to Executive hereunder or under any other agreement,
covenant, or obligation, Executive will not, without prior written consent of
Company, consult with or act as an advisor to another company about activity
which is a “Competing Business” of such company in the Restricted Territory, as
defined below. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be deemed to be
engaged in a “Competing Business” if, in any capacity, including proprietor,
shareholder, partner, officer, director or employee, Executive engages or
participates, directly or indirectly, in the operation, ownership or management
of the activity of any proprietorship, partnership, company or other business
entity which activity is competitive with the then actual business in which
Company and/or its operating subidiaries and affiliates are engaged on the date
of, or any business contemplated by such entities’ business plans in effect on
the date of notice of, Executive’s termination of employment. Nothing in this
subparagraph is intended to limit Executive’s ability to own equity in a public
company constituting less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding equity of
such company, when Executive is not actively engaged in the management thereof.

 

7

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

 

(b) Non-Solicitation. Executive recognizes that Company’s clients are valuable
and proprietary resources of Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that for a
period of time following the termination of Executive’s employment for any
reason equal to the time remaining in the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (or
if, but only if, a court or tribunal of final authority finds that this period
is unenforceable because it is unreasonably long, then, if it would shorten the
duration, for six months), and only so long as Company is continuously not in
material default of its obligations to provide payments or employment-type
benefits to Executive hereunder or under any other agreement, covenant, or
obligation, Executive will not directly or indirectly, through Executive’s own
efforts or through the efforts of another person or entity, solicit business in
the Restricted Territory for or in connection with any Competing Business from
any individual or entity which obtained products or services from Company at any
time during Executive’s employment with Company, Executive will not solicit
business for or in connection with a Competing Business from any individual or
entity which may have been solicited by Executive on behalf of Company, and
Executive will not solicit, hire or engage employees of Company who would have
the skills and knowledge necessary to enable or assist efforts by Executive to
engage in a Competing Business.
(c) Restricted Territory. Executive and Company understand and agree that
Company’s business is not geographically restricted and is unrelated to the
physical location of Company facilities or the physical location of any
Competing Business, due to extensive use of the Internet, telephones, facsimile
transmissions and other means of electronic information and product
distribution. Executive and Company further understand and agree that Executive
will, in part, work toward expanding Company’s markets and geographic business
territories, and will be compensated for performing this work on behalf of
Company.
Accordingly, Company has a protectable business interest in, and the parties
intend the Restricted Territory to encompass, each and every location from which
Exectutive could engage in a Competing Business in any country, state, province,
county or other political subdivision in which Company has clients, employees,
suppliers, distributors or other business partners or operations. If, but only
if, this Restricted Territory is held to be invalid on the ground that it is
unreasonably broad, the Restricted Territory shall include each location from
which Executive can conduct business in any of the following locations: each
state in the United States in which Company conducts sales or operations, each
province within Canada in which Company conducts sales or operations, and each
political subdivision of the United Kingdom in which Company conducts sales or
operations. If, but only if, this Restricted Territory is held to be invalid on
the grounds that it is unreasonably broad, then the Restricted Territory shall
be any location within a fifty (50) mile radius of any Company office.
(d) Remedies: Reasonableness. Executive acknowledges and agrees that a breach by
Executive of the provisions of this Section 10 will constitute such damage as
will be irreparable and the exact amount of which will be impossible to
ascertain and, for that reason, agrees that Company will be entitled to an
injunction to be issued by any court of competent jurisdiction restraining and
enjoining Executive from violating the provisions of this Section. The right to
an injunction shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy
available to Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages from Executive.
Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (1) the Restrictive Covenants
contained herein are reasonable as to time and geographical area and do not
place any unreasonable burden upon Executive; (2) the general public will not be
harmed as a result of enforcement of these Restrictive Covenants; and
(3) Executive understands and hereby agrees to each and every term and condition
of the Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Agreement.

 

8

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

 

Executive also expressly acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s covenants and
agreements in this Section 10 shall survive this Agreement and continue to be
binding upon Executive after the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
whether by passage of time or otherwise.
11. BENEFIT AND BINDING EFFECT.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Company, its
successors and assigns, including but not limited to any company, person, or
other entity which may acquire all or substantially all of the assets and

consolidated or merged, and Executive, Executive’s heirs, executors,
administrators, and legal representatives, provided that the obligations of

preexisting non-competition agreement which prohibits Executive from fulfilling
Executive’s job duties as set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement, and no
restrictions or limitations exist respecting Executive’s ability to perform
fully Executive’s obligations to Company, including Executive’s compliance with
the terms of this Agreement.

previous employer). Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not
improperly taken any documents, listings, hardware, software, discs, or any
other tangible medium that embodies proprietary information from any third
party, and that Executive does not intend to copy, refer to, or in any way use,
information that is proprietary to any third party in performing duties for
Company.
