continue to Make major contributions to the short- and long-term profitability, growth and Financial strength of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case for most Companies, the possibility of a Change in Control (as defined below) exists and That such possibility, and the uncertainty it may create among management, may Result in the

possibility of a Change in Control and to encourage the continued attention and dedication of such executives, including the Executive, to their assigned duties with the Company; and

 2. Operation of Agreement. This

Control occurs. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time during the Term, without further action, this Agreement will become immediately operative. 
 3. Termination Following a Change in Control. (a) In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary during the

to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, the Executive’s employment with the Company ceases at the previously designated level or is terminated by the Company (or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason), such
cessation or termination of employment will be deemed to be a cessation or termination of employment after a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement if the Executive has reasonably demonstrated that such cessation or termination of
employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. 
 (d) A termination by the Company pursuant to Section 3(a) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 3(b) will not affect any
rights that the Executive may have pursuant to any agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company or Subsidiary providing Employee Benefits, which rights shall be governed by the terms thereof, except for any rights to severance
compensation to which Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment under any severance or employment agreement between the Company and the Executive which rights, to the extent not greater than those provided by this Agreement, shall,
during the Severance Period, be superseded by this Agreement. 
 4. Severance Compensation, (a) if, following the occurrence of a
Change in Control, the Company or Subsidiary terminates the Executive’s employment during the Severance Period other than pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), 3(a)(ii) or 3(a) (iii), or if the Executive terminates his employment pursuant to
Section 3(b), provided that the Executive executes a release substantially in the form rendered by senior executives of the Company prior to the Change in Control. The Company will pay to the Executive the amounts described in Annex A within
five business days after the Termination Date and will continue to provide to the Executive the benefits described on Annex A for the periods described therein. 
 b) Without limiting the rights of the Executive at law or in equity, if the Company fails to make any payment or provide any benefit required to be made or provided hereunder on a timely basis, the Company
will pay interest on the amount or value thereof at an annualized rate of interest equal to the “prime rate” as set forth from time to time during the relevant period in The Wall Street Journal “Money Rates” column, plus 2%. Such
interest will be payable as it accrues on demand. Any change in such prime rate will be effective on and as of the date of such change. 
 (c) Unless otherwise expressly provided by the applicable annual incentive compensation plan or program, after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company will pay in cash to the Executive a lump sum amount equal to the
value of the Executive’s annual bonus for the performance period that includes the date on which the Change in Control occurred, disregarding any applicable vesting requirements; provided that such amount will be equal to the product of the
target award percentage under the applicable annual incentive plan or program in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control times Base Pay, but prorated to base payment only on the portion of the Executive’s service that had elapsed
during the applicable performance period through the Change in Control. Such payment will be made within five business days after the Change in Control. 







 (d) At the option of Executive, in the event of a Change in Control, Executive
shall be granted voting rights on such number of common shares that would result in Executive having a voting majority of shares (including, if necessary, a number of shares that would result in a total voting shares that exceeds the number of
authorized shares) needed for any shareholder meeting as governed by the Company’s bylaws. 
 5. No Limitation on Payments and
Benefits., notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit to be paid or provided under this Agreement would be an “Excess Parachute Payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code,
but for the application of this sentence, then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided under this Agreement will not be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that a portion of any such payment or
benefit may constitute an Excess Parachute Payment and any tax triggered to the Executive will be covered by the Company. 
 6. No
Mitigation Obligation. The Company hereby acknowledges that it will be difficult and may be impossible for the Executive to find reasonably comparable employment following the Termination Date. Accordingly, the payment of the severance compensation
by the Company to the Executive in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is hereby acknowledged by the Company to be reasonable, and the Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by
seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of the Executive hereunder or otherwise, except
as expressly provided in the last sentence of Paragraph 2 of Annex A. 
 7. Legal Fees and Expenses. It is the intent of the Company
that the Executive not be required to incur legal fees and the related expenses associated with the preparation, interpretation, enforcement or defense of Executive’s rights under this or any other agreement with the Company for any reason,
including litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Executive hereunder. Accordingly, for any reason, or if it should appear to the Executive that the
Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or
other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Executive the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Executive hereunder, the Company irrevocably authorizes the Executive from time to time to retain counsel of
Executive’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to advise and represent the Executive in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including without limitation the initiation or defense of any
litigation or other legal action in regard thereto, whether by or against the Company or any Director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client
relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to the Executive’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and the Executive agree that a
confidential relationship will exist between the Executive and such counsel. Without respect to whether the Executive prevails, in whole or in part, in connection with any of the foregoing, the Company will pay and be solely financially responsible
for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, in regard to such matters, the Executive has not acted in bad faith or with no colorable claim of
success. 
 8. Confidentiality; No solicitation; No disparagement. 
 (a) During the Term, the Company agrees that it will disclose to Executive its confidential or proprietary information (as defined
in this Section 8(a)) to the extent necessary for Executive to carry out his obligations to the Company. The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the Term or thereafter
disclose to any person not employed by the Company, or use in connection with engaging in competition 








 
with the Company, any confidential or proprietary information of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “confidential or proprietary
information” will include all information of any nature and in any form that is owned by the Company and that is not publicly available (other than by Executive’s breach of this Section 8(a)) or generally known to persons engaged in
businesses similar or related to those of the Company. Confidential or proprietary information will include, without limitation, the Company’s financial matters, customers, employees, industry contracts, strategic business plans, product
development (or other proprietary product data), marketing plans, and all other secrets and all other information of a confidential or proprietary nature. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the term “Company” will also include
any Subsidiary (collectively, the “Restricted Group”). The foregoing obligations imposed by this Section 8(a) will not apply (i) during the Term, in the course of the business of and for the benefit of the Company, (ii) if
such confidential or proprietary information has become, through no fault of the Executive, generally known to the public or (iii) if the Executive is required by law to make disclosure (after giving the Company notice and an opportunity to
contest such requirement). 
 (b) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that during the Term and for one year
thereafter Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, on behalf of Executive or on behalf of any person, firm or company, directly or indirectly, attempt to influence, persuade or induce, or assist any other person in so
persuading or inducing, any employee of the Restricted Group to give up, or to not commence, employment or a business relationship with the Restricted Group. 
 (c) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that the Executive will not make, publish or cause to be made or published any public or private statement disparaging the Company or its present or former
officers, directors or employees. 
 (d) Executive and the Company agree that the covenants contained in this
Section 8 is reasonable under the circumstances, and further agrees that if in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction any such covenant is not reasonable in any respect, such court will have the right, power and authority to excise
or modify any provision or provisions of such covenants as to the court will appear not reasonable and to enforce the remainder of the covenants as so amended. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law available to the Company for
breach of any of his obligations under this Section 8 would be inadequate and that damages flowing from such a breach may not readily be susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges, consents and agrees that,
in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have at law, in equity or under this Agreement, upon adequate proof of his violation of any such provision of this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to immediate injunctive
relief and may obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach, without the necessity of proof of actual damage. 
 9. Employment Rights. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement will create any right or duty on the part of the Company or the Executive to have the Executive remain in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to or
following any Change in Control. 
 10. Withholding of Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement
all federal, state, city or other taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or ruling. 
 11. Successors and Binding Agreement. (a) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession
had taken place. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including without limitation any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the 








 
Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes
of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company. 
 (b) This
Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes and legatees. 
 (c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto will, without the consent of the other, assign, and
transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 11(a) and 11(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Executive’s right to receive payments
hereunder will not be assignable, transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Executive’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any
attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 11(c), the Company will have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated. 
 12. Notices. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including without limitation notices, consents, requests or approvals,
required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof orally confirmed), or five business days after
having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or three business days after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service such as FedEx or UPS, addressed to the
Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) at its principal executive office and to the Executive at his principal residence, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance
herewith, except that notices of changes of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 13. Governing Law. The validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. 

14. Validity. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid,
unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance will not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal will be
reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid or legal. 
 15. Miscellaneous. No provision of
this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto
or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party will be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or
representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. References to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement,
References to Paragraphs are to Paragraphs of an Annex to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to a provision of a statute, rule or regulation will also include any successor provision thereto. 
 16. Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties’ respective rights and obligations under Sections
3(c), 4, 5, 7 and 8 will survive any termination or 








 
expiration of this Agreement or the termination of the Executive’s employment following a Change in Control for any reason whatsoever. 
 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same agreement. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed
and delivered as of the date first above written.

plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, then the Company will itself pay or provide for the payment to the Executive, his dependents and beneficiaries, of such Employee Benefits along with, in the case of
any benefit described in this Paragraph 2 which is subject to tax because it is not or cannot be paid or provided under any such policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary, an additional amount such that after payment by
the Executive, or his dependents or beneficiaries, as the case may be, of all taxes so imposed, the recipient retains an amount equal to such taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of the Agreement, for purposes of determining
the period of continuation coverage to which the Executive or any of his dependents is entitled pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code under the Company’s medical, dental and other group health plans, or successor plans, the
Executive’s “qualifying event” will be the termination of the Continuation Period and the Executive will be considered to have remained actively employed on a full-time basis through that date. Further, for purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence and for any other purpose, including, without limitation, the calculation of service or age to determine the Executive’s eligibility for benefits under any retiree medical benefits or life insurance plan or policy, the
Executive shall be considered to have remained actively employed on a full-time basis through the termination of the Continuation Period. Without otherwise limiting the purposes or effect of Section 5 or this Paragraph 2, Employee Benefits
otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 2 will be reduced to the extent comparable welfare benefits are actually received by the Executive from another employer during the Continuation Period following the Executive’s
Termination Date, and any such benefits actually received by the Executive will be reported by the Executive to the Company. 
 (3)
Reimbursement for relocation expenses on a basis consistent with the Company’s practices for senior executives, in an amount up to $50,000; provided such executive was relocated at the request of the Company (including but not limited to as a
result of initial hire) within five years of his or her Termination Date.
