1









 




claim based on her position in the Company, Executive shall
receive the maximum indemnification protection from the Company as permitted by the Company’s
by-laws and shall receive directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage equivalent to that which is
provided to any other director or officer of the Company.



4. Unauthorized Disclosure.




     Executive acknowledges that in the course of her employment with the Company (and, if
applicable, its predecessors), she has and will become acquainted with the Company’s business
affairs, information, trade secrets, and other matters which are of a proprietary or confidential
nature, including but not limited to the Company’s and its affiliates’ and predecessors’
operations, business opportunities, price and cost information, finance, customer information,
product development information, business plans, various sales techniques, manuals, letters,
notebooks, procedures, reports, products, processes, services, and other confidential information
and knowledge (collectively the “Confidential Information”) concerning the Company’s and its
affiliates’ and predecessors’ business. Executive understands and acknowledges that such
Confidential Information is confidential, and she agrees not to disclose such Confidential
Information to anyone outside the Company except to the extent that (i) Executive deems such
disclosure or use reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with performing her duties on
behalf of the Company; (ii) Executive is required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction (by
subpoena or similar process) to disclose or discuss any Confidential Information, provided that in
such case, Executive shall promptly inform the Company of such event, shall cooperate with the
Company in attempting to obtain a protective order or to otherwise restrict such disclosure, and
shall only disclose Confidential Information to the minimum extent necessary to comply with any
such court order; or (iii) such Confidential Information becomes generally known to and available
for use in the Company’s industry, other than as a result of any action or inaction by Executive.
Executive further agrees that she will not during employment and/or at any time thereafter use such
Confidential Information in competing, directly or indirectly, with the Company. At such time as
Executive shall cease to be employed by the Company, she will immediately turn over to the Company
all Confidential Information, including papers, documents, writings, electronically stored
information, other property, and all copies of them provided to or created by her during the course
of her employment with the Company. The foregoing provisions shall be binding upon Executive’s
heirs, successors, and legal representatives and shall survive the termination of this Agreement
for any reason.


5. Covenant Not to Compete. In consideration for Executive’s employment by the Company under the
terms provided in this Agreement and as a means to aid in the performance and enforcement of the
terms of the provisions of Paragraph 4, Executive agrees that:




     (a) during the Period of Employment and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter,
regardless of the reason for termination of employment, Executive will not, directly or indirectly,
as an owner, director, principal, agent, officer, employee, partner, consultant, servant, or
otherwise, carry on, operate, manage, control, or become involved in any manner with any business,
operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity which is
engaged in a business that is directly competitive with any of the Company’s products which are
produced or in development by the Company as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment,
anywhere in the world; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from
owning up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held company engaged in
activities competitive with that of the Company and provided, further, however that the foregoing
shall not prohibit Executive from being a partner in or associated with a law firm that provides
services to any such competitive business provided that during such twelve (12) month period the
Executive does not provide legal services, advice or consultation to any such competitive business;
and



     (b) during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12)
months thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment, Executive will not
directly or indirectly solicit or induce any present or future employee of the Company or any
affiliate of the Company to accept employment with Executive or with any business, operation,
corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity with which Executive may
be associated, and Executive will not knowingly employ or cause any business, operation,
corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity with which Executive may
be associated to employ
any present or future employee of the Company without providing the Company with ten (10)
days’ prior written notice of such proposed employment.

     Should Executive violate any of the provisions of this Paragraph, then in addition to all
other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the duration of this
covenant shall automatically be extended for the period of time from which Executive began such
violation until she permanently ceases such violation.


6. Termination. Except for termination as specified in Subparagraph 6(a), any termination of
Executive’s employment by the Company or any such termination by Executive shall be communicated by
written notice of termination to the other party hereto. Executive’s employment hereunder may be
terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:




     (a) Death. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon her death.



     (b) Disability. If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness,
Executive shall have been absent from her duties hereunder on a full-time basis for one hundred
eighty (180) calendar days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may
terminate Executive’s employment hereunder.



     (c) Termination by Company For Cause. At any time during the Period of Employment, the
Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause if such termination is approved by
not less than a majority of the Board. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (A)
conduct by Executive constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the
performance of her duties; (B) criminal or civil conviction of Executive, a plea of nolo contendere
by Executive or conduct by Executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury
to the reputation of the Company if she were retained in her position with the Company; (C)
continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by Executive of her duties hereunder (other than
by reason of Executive’s physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) which has continued
for more than thirty (30) days following written notice of such non-performance from the Board; or
(D) a breach by Executive of any of the provisions contained in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this
Agreement.



     (d) Termination Without Cause. At any time during the Period of Employment, the Company may
terminate Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause if such termination is approved by a
majority of the Company’s Board of Directors. Any termination by the Company of Executive’s
employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under
Subparagraph 6(c) or result from the death or disability of the Executive under Subparagraph 6(a)
or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause. If the Company provides notice to Executive
under Paragraph 1 that it does not wish to extend the Period of Employment, such action shall be
deemed a termination without Cause.



     (e) Termination by Executive. At any time during the Period of Employment, Executive
may terminate her employment hereunder for any reason, including but not limited to Good Reason.
If Executive provides notice to the Company under Paragraph 1 that she does not wish to extend the
Period of Employment, such action shall be deemed a voluntary termination by Executive and one
without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (A) a substantial
diminution or other substantive adverse change, not consented to by Executive, in the nature or
scope of Executive’s responsibilities, authorities, powers, functions or duties; (B) an involuntary
material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary except for across-the-board reductions similarly
affecting all or substantially all management employees; (C) a breach by the Company of any of its
other material obligations under this Agreement and the failure of the Company to cure such breach
within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Executive; or (D) a material change in the
geographic location at which Executive must perform her services. To constitute a termination for
Good Reason, the Executive must provide notice to the Company within 90 days following the initial
existence of any event constituting Good Reason and may not terminate employment pursuant to this
Section unless the Company fails to take action to remedy the event constituting Good Reason within
30 days of such notice.



     (f) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: (A) if Executive’s employment is
terminated by her death, the date of her death; (B) if Executive’s employment is terminated under
Subparagraph 6(b) or under Subparagraph 6(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (C)
if Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company under Subparagraph 6(d), thirty (30) days after the date on which a Notice of
Termination is given; and (D) if Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive under
Subparagraph 6(e), thirty (30) days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given.

7. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability.




     (a) If Executive’s employment terminates by reason of her death, the Company shall, within
ninety (90) days of death, pay in a lump sum amount to such person as Executive shall designate in
a notice filed with the Company or, if no such person is designated, to Executive’s estate,
Executive’s accrued and unpaid Base Salary and accrued vacation to the date of her death, plus the
pro-rata portion (based on months worked during the fiscal year) of the actual cash bonus that the
Executive would have received had the Company met all of the “at plan” targets in the annual bonus
plan that has been approved by the Board of Directors for the fiscal year in which Executive’s
death occurred.. Upon the death of Executive, all stock options granted to Executive on or after
August 1, 2002 which would otherwise vest over the next twelve (12) months shall immediately vest
in Executive’s estate or other legal representatives and become exercisable, and Executive’s estate
or other legal representatives shall have twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination or the
remaining option term, if earlier, to exercise all such stock options granted to Executive and (ii)
all repurchase rights and other restrictions on the shares of Restricted Stock held by the
Executive which would otherwise lapse over the next twelve (12) months shall immediately lapse..
All other stock-based grants and awards held by Executive shall vest or be canceled upon the death
of Executive in accordance with their terms. For a period of one (1) year following the Date of
Termination, the Company shall pay such health and dental insurance premiums as may be necessary to
allow Executive’s spouse and dependents to receive health and dental insurance coverage
substantially similar to coverage they received immediately prior to the Date of Termination. In
addition to the foregoing, any payments to which Executive’s spouse, beneficiaries, or estate may
be entitled under any employee benefit plan shall also be paid in accordance with the terms of such
plan or arrangement. Such payments, in the aggregate, shall fully discharge the Company’s
obligations hereunder.



     (b) During any period that Executive fails to perform her duties hereunder as a result
of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall continue to receive her accrued
and unpaid Base Salary, plus accrued vacation until Executive’s employment is terminated due to
disability in accordance with Subparagraph 6(b) or until Executive terminates her employment in
accordance with Subparagraph 6(e), whichever first occurs. Upon the Date of Termination Executive
shall receive the pro-rata portion (based on months worked during the fiscal year) of the actual
cash bonus that the Executive would have received had the Company met all of the “at plan” targets
in the annual bonus plan that has been approved by the Board of Directors for the fiscal year in
which the date of termination occurred and (i) all stock options granted to Executive on or after
August 1, 2002 which would otherwise vest over the next twelve (12) months shall immediately vest
and become exercisable, and Executive shall have twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination or
the remaining option term, if earlier, to exercise all such stock options granted to Executive and
(ii) all repurchase rights and other restrictions on the shares of Restricted Stock held by the
Executive which would otherwise lapse over the next twelve (12) months shall immediately lapse.
All other stock-based grants and awards held by Executive shall vest or be canceled upon the Date
of Termination in accordance with their terms. For a period of one (1) year following the Date of
Termination, the Company shall pay such health and dental insurance premiums as may be necessary to
allow Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents to receive health and dental insurance
coverage substantially similar to coverage they received prior to the Date of Termination. In
addition to the foregoing, any payments to which Executive may be entitled under any employee
benefit plan shall also be paid in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement.



     (c) If Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive other than for Good Reason as
provided in Subparagraph 6(e), then the Company shall, through the Date of Termination, pay
Executive her accrued and unpaid Base Salary plus accrued vacation, at the rate in effect at the
time Notice of Termination is given. Thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations to
Executive except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement. In addition, all vested but
unexercised stock options granted to Executive on or after August 1, 2002 and held by Executive as
of the Date of Termination must be exercised by Executive within three (3) months following the
Date of Termination or by the end of the option term, if earlier. All other stock-based grants and
awards held by Executive shall vest or be canceled upon the Date of Termination in accordance with
their terms.



     (d) If Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason as provided in Subparagraph 6(e) or
if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Subparagraph
6(d), then the Company shall, through the Date of Termination, pay Executive her accrued and unpaid
Base Salary plus accrued vacation, at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given
plus the pro-rata portion (based on months

worked during the fiscal year) of the actual cash bonus
that the Executive would have received had the Company met all of the “at plan” targets in the
annual bonus plan that has been approved by the Board of Directors for the fiscal year in which
termination occurred. In addition, subject to signing by Executive of a general release of claims
in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) within 21 days after receipt of
the Release from the Company and the passage of the seven-day revocation period, the Company shall
provide the following benefits to Executive:





(i) The Company shall pay Executive an amount equal one (1) times the sum of (A) the
Executive’s Base Salary in effect on the Date of Termination and (B) the Executive’s average
annual bonus or other variable cash compensation (including commissions) over the five (5)
fiscal years immediately prior to the year of termination (the “Termination Amount”). The
Termination Amount shall be calculated by the Company within ten (10) business days
following the Date of Termination and communicated to the Executive in writing and shall
then be paid out in a lump sum within 30 days of the Date of Termination. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from
service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), the Executive is considered a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any payment that the Executive becomes entitled
to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to interest,
penalties and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of
the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be
payable prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the
Executive’s date of termination, or (ii) the Executive’s death. Any such deferred payment
shall earn interest calculated at the short-term applicable federal rate. On or before the
Executive’s Date of Termination, the Company shall make an irrevocable contribution to a
rabbi trust with an independent bank trustee in an amount equal to the amount of such
deferred payment plus interest.




(ii) Upon the Date of Termination, all stock options granted to the Executive on or after
August 1, 2002 which would otherwise vest over the next twelve (12) months shall immediately
vest and become exercisable, and Executive shall have twelve (12) months from the Date of
Termination or the remaining option term, if earlier, to exercise all such stock options
granted to Executive and (ii) all repurchase rights and other restrictions on the shares of
Restricted Stock held by the Executive which would otherwise lapse over the next twelve (12)
months shall immediately lapse. All other stock-based grants and awards held by Executive
shall vest or be canceled upon the Termination Date in accordance with their terms.




(iii) In addition to any other benefits to which Executive may be entitled in accordance
with the Company’s then existing severance policies, the Company shall, for a period of one
(1) year commencing on the Date of Termination, pay such health and dental insurance
premiums as may be necessary to allow Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents to
continue to receive health and dental insurance coverage substantially similar to coverage
they received prior to the Date of Termination. In addition to the foregoing, any payments
to which Executive may be entitled under any employee benefit plan shall also be paid in
accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement.



     (e) If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause as provided in
Subparagraph 6(c), then the Company shall, through the Date of Termination, pay Executive her
accrued and unpaid Base Salary, plus accrued vacation, at the rate in effect at the time Notice of
Termination is given. Thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive
except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement. In addition, all stock options held
by Executive as of the Date of Termination shall cease to vest as of the Date of Termination and
Executive shall have 30 days from the Date of Termination or the remaining option term, if earlier,
to exercise all such vested stock options. All other stock-based grants and awards held by
Executive shall be canceled upon the Termination Date in accordance with their terms.



     (f) Nothing contained in the foregoing Subparagraphs 7(a) through 7(e) shall be construed so
as to affect Executive’s rights or the Company’s obligations relating to agreements or benefits
that are unrelated to termination of employment.


8. Change in Control Benefit. Upon a Change of Control of the Company the following
provisions shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Subparagraph 7(d).




5









 




(a) Change in Control.




     (i) In the event that within 12 months following a Change of Control, the Executive
terminates her employment for Good Reason or if the Executive’s employment is terminated by
the Company without Cause, the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to 1.5 times the
sum of (A) the Executive’s Base Salary and (B) the Executive’s cash bonus calculated at an
amount equal to the actual cash bonus that the Executive would have received if the Company
had met all of the aggressive targets in the annual bonus plan that has been approved by the
Board of Directors for the fiscal year in which the change of control occurred or, if
greater, the fiscal year in which the termination of employment is effective (collectively,
the “Severance Amount”). The Severance Amount shall be calculated by the Company within
ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination and communicated to the Executive
in writing and shall then be paid out in a lump sum within 30 days following the Date of
Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Base Salary” shall mean the annual Base
Salary in effect on the Date of Termination. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Executive is considered a “specified employee”
within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any payment that the
Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation
subject to interest, penalties and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the
Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such
payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day
after the Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) the Executive’s death. Any such
deferred payment shall earn interest calculated at the short-term applicable federal rate.
On or before the Executive’s Date of Termination, the Company shall make an irrevocable
contribution to a rabbi trust with an independent bank trustee in an amount equal to the
amount of such deferred payment plus interest.



     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable option agreement or
stock-based award agreement, upon a Change in Control, all stock options and other
stock-based awards granted to Executive by the Company shall immediately accelerate and
become exercisable or non-forfeitable as of the effective date of such Change in Control.
Executive shall also be entitled to any other rights and benefits with respect to
stock-related awards, to the extent and upon the terms provided in the employee stock option
or incentive plan or any agreement or other instrument attendant thereto pursuant to which
such options or awards were granted; and



     (iii) The Company shall, for a period of one (1) year commencing on the Date of
Termination, pay such health and dental insurance premiums as may be necessary to allow
Executive, Executive’s spouse and dependents to continue to receive health and dental
insurance coverage substantially similar to the coverage they received prior to the Date of
Termination.


(b) Additional Limitation.




     (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any
compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive,
whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the following provisions shall apply:



          (A) If the Severance Payments, reduced by the sum of (1) the Excise Tax and (2) the
total of the Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes payable by the
Executive on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold
Amount, are greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Executive shall be entitled
to the full benefits payable under this Agreement.




          (B) If the Threshold Amount is less than (x) the Severance Payments, but greater than
(y) the Severance Payments reduced by the sum of (1) the Excise Tax and (2) the total of the
Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes on the amount of the Severance
Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount, then the benefits payable under this
Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the maximum
Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount. To the




6









 






extent that there is more
than one method of reducing the payments to bring them within the Threshold Amount, the
Executive shall determine which method shall be followed; provided that if the Executive
fails to make such determination within 45 days after the Company has sent the Executive
written notice of the need for such reduction, the Company may determine the amount of such
reduction in its sole discretion.




     (ii) For the purposes of this Section 8(b), “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times
the Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by
the Executive with respect to such excise tax.



     The determination as to which of the alternative provisions of Section 8(b)(i) shall apply to
the Executive shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the
“Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and
the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier
time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. For purposes of determining which
of the alternative provisions of Section 8(b)(i) shall apply, the Executive shall be deemed to pay
federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to
individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local
income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in the state and locality of the
Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income
taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Any determination by
the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.



     (c) Definitions. For purposes of this Paragraph 8, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:



     “Change in Control” shall mean any of the following:




     (a) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) (other than the Company, any of its
subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under
any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with
all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of
such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing forty
percent (40%)or more of either (A) the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Company’s Board
(“Voting Securities”) or (B) the then outstanding shares of Company’s common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) (other than as a result of an acquisition of
securities directly from the Company); or




     (b) persons who, as of the Commencement Date, constitute the Company’s Board (the
“Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of a
tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a
majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of the Company
subsequent to the Commencement Date shall be considered an Incumbent Director if such
person’s election was approved by or such person was nominated for election by a vote of at
least a majority of the Incumbent Directors; but provided further, that any such person
whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election
contest relating to the election of members of the Board or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board,
including by reason of agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened
contest or solicitation, shall not be considered an Incumbent Director; or




     (c) the stockholders of the Company shall approve (A) any consolidation or merger of
the Company where the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or
merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such
term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in
the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash
or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if
any), (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.



7









 





     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (a) solely as the result of an acquisition of
securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock or other Voting
Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by any
person to forty percent (40%) or more of either (A) the combined voting power of all of the then
outstanding Voting Securities or (B) Common Stock; provided, however, that if any
person referred to in this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional
shares of Voting Securities or Common Stock (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend,
or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company)
and immediately thereafter beneficially owns forty percent (40%) or more of either (A) the combined
voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities or (B) Common Stock, then a “Change
of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (a).


9. Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in
the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or
mailed by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as

or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance
herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.



10. Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets
of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company
to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall
be a material breach of this Agreement and shall constitute Good Reason if the Executive elects to
terminate employment.



11. Miscellaneous. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless
such waiver, modification, or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and such
officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board. No agreements or
representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, unless specifically referred to herein,
with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth
expressly in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws).



12. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which
shall remain in full force and effect.



13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.



14. Arbitration; Other Disputes. In the event of any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement, the parties shall first try in good faith for a period of 30 days
to settle such dispute or controversy by mediation under the applicable rules of the American
Arbitration Association before resorting to arbitration. Following such time period, the parties
will settle any remaining dispute or controversy exclusively by arbitration in Boston,
Massachusetts in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall

be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction
in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of Paragraph 4
or 5 hereof.



15. Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after Executive’s employment,
Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims
or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the
Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the
Company; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not materially and adversely affect
Executive or expose Executive to an increased probability of civil or criminal litigation. The
Company shall also provide Executive with compensation on an hourly basis (to be derived from her
Base Salary) for requested litigation and regulatory cooperation that occurs after her termination
of employment, and reimburse Executive for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with her
performance under this Paragraph 15, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs.




     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective on the date and year
first above written.
