Exhibit 10.31



EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT



THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of the 3rd day of May, 1999, by and between
Bronner Slosberg Humphrey, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Company), and Laura Wicke Lang (the Executive).



WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to set forth in a written agreement the terms and conditions under which the Executive will render services
to the Company;



NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in
consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:



1. Effectiveness of Agreement.



(a) Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective
as of date first set forth above (the Effective Date).



(b) Employment Period. The Company shall employ the Executive, and the Executive shall serve the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the period (the Employment
Period) beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each subsequent anniversary of such date (each
such anniversary thereof being hereinafter referred to as a Renewal Date), the Employment Period shall be automatically extended by one year, unless at least 60 days before the Renewal Date either party hereto shall give notice to the
other that the Employment Period shall not be so extended.



2.
Position and Duties.



(a)
Position. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as Executive Vice President, with the duties and responsibilities customarily assigned to such position and such other duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors
(the Board) of Vesuvio, Inc. (which is the trustee of Bronner Slosberg Humphrey Co. (BSH)) or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall from time to time assign to the Executive.



(b) Duties. During the Employment Period, and
excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall devote her full business attention and time to the business and affairs of the Company and shall use her reasonable best efforts to carry out
such responsibilities faithfully and efficiently. It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or
teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of the Executives responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this
Agreement.

3. Compensation.



(a) Base Salary. As compensation for the Executives services hereunder during the Employment
Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual salary (the Base Salary) of not less than $400,000 during the Employment Period, payable at such times and intervals as the Company pays the base salaries of its other executive
employees. During the Employment Period, the Base Salary shall be reviewed annually for possible increase. The Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase, and the term Base Salary shall thereafter refer to the Base Salary
as so increased.



(b) Annual Bonus. In
addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall be eligible for an annual bonus (the Annual Bonus) for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, in an amount recommended by the Chief Executive Officer, subject to approval by
the Compensation Committee of the Board, provided, however, that the Executives targeted Annual Bonus for the fiscal year ending in 1999 shall be between $450,000 and $520,000, such amount to be adjusted pro rata based upon the
number of months that the Executive is employed by the Company during such fiscal year.



(c) Signing Bonus. Provided the Executive is employed by the Company on January 31, 2000 or, if the Executive is not employed by
the Company on such date, provided the Executives employment terminated after David Kennys removal or resignation as the Companys Chief Executive Officer, the Executive shall receive a one-time bonus of $400,000, payable on January
31, 2000.



(d) Stock Options. On or
prior to the Effective Date, the Board will authorize the grant to the Executive of options to purchase 20,000 shares of beneficial interest in BSH (the Options). The Options shall be granted under the BSH 1998 Option Plan and shall be
subject to the terms of both the BSH 1998 Option Plan and an Option Agreement to be executed by the Executive in connection with the grant of the Options. The Option Agreement shall provide, among other things, that the Options are exercisable at a
price per share of $151.10 and that the Options vest in three equal installments on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant date. The Option Agreement shall also require, as a condition to the granting of the Options, that the Executive
become a party to that certain Shareholders Agreement, dated as of January 6, 1999, by and among BSH and the other signatories thereto (the Shareholders Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, BSH has the right to purchase the
Executives Shares (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) at a discount in the event the Executives employment with the Company terminates for any reason.



(e) Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive employee
benefits (including without limitation medical, life insurance and other welfare benefits and benefits under retirement and savings plans), Company-provided parking, and paid vacation, in each case to the same extent as, and on the same terms and
conditions as, other similarly situated senior executives of the Company from time to time. In addition, in the event the Executive relocates within six months of the Effective Date, the Executive shall be eligible to receive benefits under the
Companys transfer relocation program.



2



---

(f) Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for
all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive during the Term in carrying out her duties under this Agreement, provided that the Executive complies with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company for submission of expense reports,
receipts, or similar documentation of such expenses.



4.
Employment Termination.



(a) By the
Company. The Executives employment may be terminated by the Company under any of the following circumstances: (i) upon the Disability of the Executive, defined as the inability of the Executive to perform her duties hereunder
on a full-time basis by reason of physical or mental incapacity, sickness or infirmity that continues for more than 180 days or for periods aggregating more than 180 days during any period of 365 consecutive days; (ii) for Cause, as
defined below; and (iii) for any other reason (a termination without Cause). Cause means and shall be limited to: (A) willful misappropriation of the funds or property of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies (as
defined below); (B) use of alcohol or illegal drugs interfering with the performance of an employees obligations, continuing after written warning of such actions; (C) admission, confession, indictment or plea bargain to, or conviction of, a
felony, or of any crime involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, theft, unethical or unlawful conduct; (D) commission of any willful or intentional act which could reasonably be expected to injure the reputation, business or business relationships of
the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies or which may tend to bring the employee or the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies into disrepute, or the willful commission of any act which is a breach of an employees fiduciary duties to
the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies; and (E) commission of any act which constitutes a material breach of the policies of the Company, including but not limited to the disclosure of any confidential information or trade secrets pertaining
to the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies, or any of their respective clients. For purposes of this paragraph, any act or failure to act of the Executive shall not be considered willful unless done or omitted to be done by the
Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executives action or omission was in the best interest of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies. Any determination of Cause shall be made by the Board in its sole
discretion. The Company shall give the Executive written notice of termination specifying which of the foregoing provisions is applicable and (in the case of clause (A) or (B)) the factual basis therefor, and the termination shall be effective upon
the 30th business day after such notice is given (such day, the Date of Termination). For purposes of this Agreement, the term Affiliated Companies shall mean the Company, Positano Partners Ltd. and any of their respective
affiliates and their respective businesses.



(b) By the Executive. The Executives employment may be terminated by the Executive under either of the following circumstances (i) for Good Reason, as defined below; or (ii) for any other reason (a termination
without Good Reason). Good Reason shall be defined as a termination within 30 days after and as a result of (A) the assignment to the Executive of duties inconsistent in any material respect with Section 2 of this Agreement,
other than actions that are not taken in bad faith and are remedied by the Company within ten business days after receipt of notice thereof from the Executive; (B) any material failure by the Company to comply with any provision of Section 3 of this
Agreement, other than failures that are not taken in bad faith and are remedied by the Company within ten business days after receipt of



3



---

notice thereof from the Executive; or (C) a change, without the Executives consent, in the Executives principal place of employment with the
Company to a location outside the greater metropolitan area in which such principal place of employment was located as of the Effective Date. The Executive shall give the Company written notice of termination specifying which of the foregoing
provisions is applicable and the factual basis therefor, and the termination shall be effective upon the 30th business day after such notice is given unless the Company sets an earlier date or Company and the Executive agree to a later date (such
day, the Date of Termination).



(c) Severance Benefits. If, during the Employment Period, the Executives employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation
provided for under this Agreement except as provided in the following sentence. The Company shall (i) continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary, at the rate in effect immediately before the Date of Termination (but, in the case of a termination
by the Executive for Good Reason, disregarding any reduction thereof that was the basis for such termination), for twelve months after the Date of Termination, (ii) continue to provide the Executive with group health benefits pursuant to COBRA (the
Group Health Benefits) for twelve months after the Date of Termination; provided, that during any period when the Executive is eligible to receive any such benefits under another employer-provided plan or a government plan, the
Group Health Benefits or substitute benefits provided by the Company under this clause (ii) may be made secondary to those provided under such other plan; and (iii) pay the Executive any amounts that have been earned but not yet paid under Section 3
hereof.



(d) Other Employment
Terminations. If, during the Employment Period, the Executives employment is terminated by reason of the Executives death or for any other reason, other than by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the
Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation provided for under this Agreement, other than (i) Base Salary through the 90th day following the Date of Termination in the case of the Executives death, and through the Date of Termination
in all other cases, (ii) any unpaid Annual Bonus for a fiscal year that ended before the Date of Termination, (iii) benefits under any long-term disability insurance coverage in the case of termination because of Disability, and (iv) vested
benefits, if any, required to be paid or provided by law.



5.
Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality and Termination Notices.



(a) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that:



(i) during the Executives employment with the Company or its Affiliated Companies and for one (1) year after termination of such
employment for any reason, the Executive shall not work for any competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies on the account of any client of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies with whom the Executive had a direct
relationship or as to which the Executive had a significant supervisory responsibility or otherwise was significantly involved at any time during the two years prior to such termination;



4



---

(ii) during the Executives employment with the Company or its Affiliated Companies
and for six (6) months after termination of such employment for any reason, the Executive shall not work for a competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies on the account of any substantial competitor of any client of the Company for
which the Executive had substantial responsibility during the two-year period prior to termination of employment and shall not work directly for such a competitor of such a client;



(iii) during the Executives employment with the Company or its Affiliated Companies and for one (1)
year after termination of such employment for any reason, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit or hire, or assist any other person in soliciting or hiring, any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies (as of the
date of termination) or any person who, as of the date of termination, was in the process of being recruited by the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies or induce any such employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company or any of
its Affiliated Companies;



(iv) the Executive
shall retain in strictest confidence all confidential information of the Company and its Affiliated Companies and their respective clients learned by the Executive during the period of her employment by the Company and its Affiliated Companies, and
shall not disclose any of such information to anyone outside the Company and its Affiliated Companies, except in the course of her duties for the Company and its Affiliated Companies or with the Companys express written consent; and



(v) for the purposes of Section 5(a)(i) and
(ii), the term work for shall include, without limitation, communicating with or advising, directly or indirectly, any individuals who work on such account, or the client of such account, with respect to any business matter relating to
such account.



(b) The covenants contained in
Section 5(a) are for the benefit of the Company and its Affiliated Companies and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.



(c) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purpose of the foregoing covenants is to protect the goodwill, trade secrets and
other confidential information of the Company; (ii) because of the nature of the business in which the Company and its Affiliated Companies are engaged and because of the nature of the confidential information to which the Executive has access, it
would be impractical and excessively difficult to determine the actual damages of the Company in the event the Executive breached any of the covenants of this Section 5; and (iii) remedies at law (such as monetary damages) for any breach of the
Executives obligations under this Section 5 might be inadequate. The Executive therefore agrees and consents that if he commits any breach of a covenant under this Section 5 or threatens to commit any such breach, the Company shall have the
right (in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy that may be available to it) to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any bond or other security and without the
necessity of proof of actual damage. In addition, and without limiting the remedies



5



---

available to the Company in the event of a breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this Section 5, to the extent permitted by applicable law and
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or of the Shareholders Agreement, if the Executive violates any provision of this Section 5, (i) the Executive shall cease to be entitled to receive any payment or benefit pursuant to Section 4
of this Agreement, and (ii) the Company may offset against any payment to be made by it in respect of any Shares (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) purchased by it pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement (including purchase price, installment
payments and interest payments) any damages (including consequential damages), expenses, fees, losses or costs of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by the Company or and of its Affiliated Companies arising out of such violation.



(d) With respect to any provision of this Section 5 finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the Executive and the Company hereby agree that such court shall have jurisdiction to reform this Agreement or any provision hereof so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by law, and the parties agree to abide by such courts determination. If any of the covenants of this Section 5 are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not be a bar to or in
any way diminish the Companys right to enforce any such covenant in any other jurisdiction.



6. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executives continuing or future participation in any plan,
program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 9 below, shall anything in this Agreement limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may
have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies. Vested benefits and other amounts that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or
agreement with, the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies on or after the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice, program, contract or agreement, as the case may be, except as explicitly modified by
this Agreement, and except that the Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance pay or benefits under any severance plan, program or policy of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies if and to the extent they would duplicate the
compensation and benefits provided under Section 4 of this Agreement.



7. No Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except
as specifically provided in clause (ii) of Section 4(c) above, such amounts shall not be reduced, regardless of whether the Executive obtains other employment.



8. Notices.



(a) Each notice, demand, request, consent, report, approval or communication (hereinafter Notice) which is or may be required
to be given by any party to any other party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be in writing, and given by facsimile, personal delivery, receipted delivery services, or by certified mail, return receipt
requested, prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be served as shown in Section 8(b) below.
