Control Period (as defined herein), (1) your employment is terminated by the
Company or any successor to the Company for any reason other than Cause, or
(2) you terminate your employment due to Good Reason (a “Qualifying

C. Other Terminations. This Agreement does not apply to terminations of
employment that occur prior to a Change in Control or after the expiration of 36
months after a Change in Control and also outside of a Potential Change in
Control Period.

Article IV.

Severance Benefits.

A. Severance Benefits. In lieu of any other severance compensation or benefits
to which you may otherwise be entitled under any employment agreement or plan,
program, policy or arrangement of the Company or any subsidiary, entitlement to
which you hereby expressly waive, the Company will pay you the payments
described in this Article IV(A) (the “Severance Payments”) upon a Qualifying
Termination. Any Severance Payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of
any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law. The
compensation and benefits provided under this Article IV(A) are as follows:

 

  1. Accrued Compensation. An amount equal to the following amounts earned or
accrued through your Date of Termination Date, but not paid as of the Date of
Termination:

 

  a. base salary,

 

2

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

  b. annual incentive compensation earned for performance in the prior year that
was completed at the Date of Termination, but which is not yet paid,

 

  c. reimbursement for reasonable and necessary, properly-receipted expenses
incurred by you on behalf of the Company during the period ending on the Date of
Termination, and

 

  d. accrued but unused vacation pay.

For purposes of subsection (b) above, the amount payable shall be determined by
the Company in good faith consistent with the treatment of other executives of
the Company who were not terminated from employment and taking into past
practice.

 

  2. Cash Severance. An amount equal to the sum of the following amounts:

 

  a. two times the higher of your annual base salary in effect immediately prior
to the occurrence of the event or circumstance upon which the Notice of
Termination is based or your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to
the Change in Control; and

 

  b. a pro-rated amount of the aggregate amount of your annual bonus opportunity
at the target level for the year in which the Notice of Termination is given
under the annual incentive plan applicable to you as in effect immediately prior
to the occurrence of the event or circumstances giving rise to the Notice of
Termination, determined by multiplying your target level bonus amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the annual performance
measurement period through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which
is 365.

 

  3. Continuation of Welfare Benefits. Continuation under the terms provided to
similarly situated active employees, at no cost to you, of life, medical and
dental insurance coverage in which you (or your dependents) was participating as
of the Date of Termination (subject to such modifications as shall be
established for all employees of the Company) until the earliest of:

 

  a. the eighteen month anniversary of your Date of Termination;

 

3

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

  b. the date you first breach the Release Agreement or any restrictive covenant
hereunder or in any employment or other agreement with the Company which
survives termination of your employment; or

 

  c. the date you become eligible for comparable benefits under a similar
welfare benefit plan of a successor employer.

If under the terms of the Company’s plan or insurance contract, the Company is
unable to provide you with continued coverage for the intended period, the
Company’s sole obligation shall be to pay you a monthly amount equal to the
Company’s cost of providing such coverage to you as an active employee. To the
extent that your continuation coverage rights under COBRA continue for more than
eighteen months following your Date of Termination you will be eligible to
continue coverage under COBRA for any remaining period.

B. Timing of Severance Payments. Except as provided in Article IV(D) below, the
cash payments described in Article IV(A) shall be made within the time provided
by law. No reimbursement of expenses under Article IV(A) shall be made after the
last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The
payments described in Article IV(A)(1)(b) and (2) shall be made in a lump sum on
the 45th day after your Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of any
payments described in Article IV(A)(1)(b) and (2) cannot be finally determined
on or before the due date provided in the prior sentence, the Company shall pay
to you on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of
the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments
as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than 20
business days after such due date. In the event that the amount of the estimated
payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, you shall
be obligated to repay such excess amount on the fifth business day after demand
by the Company.

C. No Mitigation Required. You are not required to seek other employment or to
attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to you by the Company
hereunder. Except as set forth in Article IV(A)(3) the amount of any payment or
benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation
earned by you as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement
benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by you to the Company,
or otherwise.

D. Compliance with Code Section 409A. Each of the payments under Article
IV(A)(1)(b), (2) and (3) above are designated as separate payments for purposes
of the short-term deferral rules under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(F), the exemption for involuntary terminations under
separation pay plans under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and
the exemption for medical expense reimbursements under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B). As a result, (a) any payments that become vested
as a result of a Qualifying Termination that are made on or before the 15th day
of the third month of the calendar year following the calendar year of the
Executive’s termination, (b) any additional payments that are made on or before
the last day of the second calendar year following the year of the Executive’s
termination and do not exceed the lesser of two times Base Salary or two

 

4

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

times the limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) then in effect, and (c) the
payment of medical expenses within the applicable COBRA period, are intended to
be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. If you are
designated as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code, then to the extent that any deferred compensation payments to be made
under any provision of this Agreement during the first six month period
following your separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code), exceed such exempt amounts (whether specified in the preceding
sentence or determined under applicable rules and regulations), the payments
shall be withheld and the amount of the payments withheld will be paid in a lump
sum, together with interest on the unpaid amount at a rate equal to the
short-term applicable federal rate (with semiannual compounding) established by
the Internal Revenue Service under Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code and in
effect at the date the amount would have been paid but for the delay hereunder,
on the first business day of the seventh month after your separation from
service. The parties hereto intend that, to the maximum extent practicable, the
rights to payment hereunder shall not give rise to constructive receipt of
compensation prior to payment or to tax penalties under Section 409A of the
Code. Accordingly, the Company shall have no right to accelerate payments if and
to the extent that such right or an actual acceleration would result in such
constructive receipt or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, and
provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner
which complies with requirements of Section 409A of the Code so as to avoid such
constructive receipt and tax penalties. The Company shall have the right to
modify this Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Code without obtaining
your written consent.

E. Gross-Up for Excise Tax and Related Provisions. In the event you become
entitled to any amounts payable under this Agreement or under any other
agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, or the lapse or termination of
any restriction under any agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement (the
“Payments”), if any of such Payments are subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”)
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code by reason of being considered “contingent on
a change in ownership or control” of the Company within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code, or any similar federal, state or local tax that may
hereafter be imposed, the Company shall pay to you an additional amount (the
“Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by you, after deduction of
the total of (i) any Excise Tax on the Payments (as hereinafter defined) and
(ii) federal, state and local income tax (taking into account the loss of
itemized deductions) other than interest and additional taxes under Section 409A
of the Code (or similar state or local taxes), and employment tax and Excise Tax
upon the payment provided for by this Article IV(E), shall be equal to the
Payments. Such Gross-Up amount shall be paid to you within 60 days of the date
of Change in Control.

 

  1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (E), if no Excise
Tax would apply if the Payments were reduced by 10%, then the Payments shall be
reduced by the amount necessary to avoid application of the Excise Tax, and no
Gross-Up Payment will be made. Such reduction shall apply first to those
Payments which have the lowest present value to you.

 

  2.

Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, any
determination required under this Article IV(E) shall be made in writing

 

5

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

 

by nationally recognized independent public accountants agreed to by you and the
Company (the “Accounting Firm”), whose determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making
the calculations required by this Article IV(E), the Accounting Firm may make
reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may
rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of
Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and you shall each furnish to
the Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may
reasonably request in order to make a determination hereunder. The Company shall
bear all costs the Accounting Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated hereunder. The Accounting Firm shall be required to
provide its determination within 60 days after the Date of the Change in
Control, and the Company shall be responsible for any income tax, penalty or
interest liability incurred as a result of date the Gross-Up Payment is made.

 

  3. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by you, it
will, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish the Company and
you a non-reliance opinion that you have a reasonable basis not to report any
Excise Tax on your federal, state or local income or other tax return. If the
Accounting Firm determines that a Excise Tax will (or would, but for reduction
in the Payment) be payable by you, it will, at the same time as it makes such
determination, furnish the Company and you the detailed basis for such opinion.
Subject to Article IV(D), the Company will make the Gross-Up Payment within five
days thereafter.

 

  4.

In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined, either by the
Accounting Firm or the Internal Revenue Service, to be less than the amount
determined hereunder, you shall repay to the Company, within five business days
after the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the
portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion
of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal and state and
local income tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by you to the
extent that such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or federal
and state and local income tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such
repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the
event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined, either by the Accounting
Firm or the Internal Revenue Service, to exceed the amount taken into account
hereunder (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which
cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment or by reason of
required redetermination of the of the parachute payment), the Company shall
(subject to Article IV(D)) make an additional gross-up payment in respect of
such excess within five days after the time that the amount of such excess is
finally determined. In the event that the subsequent determinations as to the
Excise Tax affect the calculations

 

6

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

 

relating to Article IV(E)(1), such amounts will be recalculated and the
provisions of this Article IV(E)(3) applied based on the revised calculations,
with interest applied to any payments by either party at the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code.

 

  5. Notwithstanding the preceding rules of this Article IV(E) the Gross-Up
payments shall be made not later than the end of the year next following the in
which you remit the related taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. In all
events the additional gross-up payment shall be made not later than the end of
the year following the year in which the taxes that are the subject of an audit
or litigation are remitted to the applicable taxing authority, or where as a
result of such audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the year
following the year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and
nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.

Article V.

Restrictive Covenants

A. Cooperation. You shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Company and
its counsel at any time and in any manner reasonably required by the Company or
its counsel (with due regard for your other commitments if he is not employed by
the Company) in connection with any litigation or other legal process affecting
the Company of which you have knowledge as a result of your employment with the
Company (other than any litigation with respect to this Agreement). In the event
of such requested cooperation, the Company shall reimburse your reasonable out
of pocket expenses.

You shall provide the Company prompt notice of any claim by or other
correspondence from the Internal Revenue Service relating to the amount of
Excise Tax and will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to contest
any claim for Excise Tax. You will take such action in connection with
contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from
time to time, including without limitation accepting legal representation with
respect to such claim by an attorney competent in respect of the subject matter
and reasonably selected by the Company; provided, however, that the Company will
bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including interest and penalties)
incurred in connection with such contest and will indemnify you and hold you
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for and against any Excise Tax or income tax,
including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of
such contest and any such payments.

B. Non-Disparagement. You will not criticize, defame, be derogatory toward or
otherwise disparage the Company (or the Company’s past, present and future
officers, directors, stockholders, attorneys, agents, representatives, employees
or affiliates), or its or their business plans or actions, to any third party,
either orally or in writing; provided, however, that this provision will not
preclude you from giving testimony in response to a lawful subpoena or preclude
any conduct protected under 18 U.S.C. Section 1514A(a) or any similar state or
federal law providing “whistleblower” protection to you.

 

7

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

C. Non-Competition. In consideration for the severance compensation and
continued benefits provided in Article IV(A) above, and at the option of any
potential acquirer at the time of a Change in Control, you agree to be subject
to the Noncompetition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B for a period of one
year following a Qualifying Termination

Article VI.

Certain Definitions

Whenever used herein, the following terms shall have their respective meanings
set forth below.

A. “Cause” for termination by the Company of your employment shall mean

 

  1. the willful and continued failure by you to substantially perform your
duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from your
incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated
failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason by you)
for a period of at least 30 consecutive days after a written demand for
substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board, which demand
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not
substantially performed your duties,

 

  2. fraud or dishonesty relating to your employment, or your willful misconduct
or gross negligence, which conduct is materially injurious to the Company or its
reputation, monetarily or otherwise; or

 

  3. your willful violation of Company policies, which conduct is materially
injurious to the Company or its reputation, monetarily or otherwise, or

 

  4. you are convicted of, or have entered a plea of nolo contendere to, a
felony.

For purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of this definition, no act, or failure to

by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your act, or failure
to act, was in the best interest of the Company.

B. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, during the term of
this Agreement, on the earliest to occur of the following dates:

 

  1. The date any Person, or more than one Persons acting as a Group, acquires
beneficial ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with stock held
by such Person or Group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) or more of
the total fair market value or total voting power of the then outstanding stock
of the Company;

 

  2.

The date of consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any
other corporation other than (i) a merger or consolidation which

 

8

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

 

would result in the stock of the company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to beneficially represent at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the
combined voting power of the stock of the Company or the surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or
consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company in which
no Person or Group acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding stock;

 

  3. The date that any Person, or more than one Person acting as a Group,
acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

  4. The date that the incumbent members of the Board of Directors as of the
date of this Agreement cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the Board, provided that any new director whose nomination or election is
approved by a majority of the then-incumbent directors shall be deemed, for
purposes of this provision, an “incumbent” member of the Board.

If any one Person, or Persons acting as a Group, is considered to effectively
control the Company as described in subsections (1) or (4) above, the
acquisition of additional control by the same Person or Persons is not
considered to cause a Change in Control.

C. “Date of Termination” shall mean the date specified in the Notice of

without your express written consent, of any one of the following unless such
circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in
the Notice of Termination given in respect thereof:

officer of the Company or a material diminution in the nature or status of your
responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities), from those in effect

then-current principal place of residence; except for required travel on the
Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with your business
travel obligations prior to the Change in Control or, if you have consented to
such a relocation, the failure by the Company to provide you with materially all
of the benefits of the Company’s relocation policy as in operation immediately
prior to a Change in Control;

 

  4. the Company’s material breach of this Agreement; or

 

  5. the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any
successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in
Article VII hereof.

shall specify your Date of Termination, which date shall not be earlier than 30

reasonable period of time (not less than 30 days) specified in the Notice of

automatically be withdrawn and of no effect. Your continued employment shall not
constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure
