This Agreement sets forth the severance compensation which the Company agrees it will pay to the Executive if the Executive's employment with the Company terminates under one of the circumstances described herein following a Change In Control of the Company (as defined herein).  This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Severance Compensation Agreement dated as of February 22, 2006 between the Company and the Executive.  1.Term.This Agreement shall terminate, except to the extent that any obligation of the Company hereunder remains unpaid as of such time, upon the earliest of (i) three years from the date hereof if a Change in Control of the Company has not occurred prior to such date; (ii) the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company based on death, Disability (as defined in Section 3(b)), Retirement (as defined in Section 3(c)) or Cause (as defined in Section 3(d)) or by the Executive other than for Good Reason (as defined in Section 3(e)); and (iii) twenty-four months from the date of a Change in Control of the Company if the Executive has not terminated his employment for Good Reason as of such time.  2.Change in Control.No compensation shall be payable under this Agreement unless and until (a) there shall have been a Change in Control of the Company while the Executive is still an employee of the Company and (b) the Executive's employment by the Company thereafter shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 3.

with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in the second sentence of this Section 3(d) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which indicates those specific termination provisions in this Agreement relied upon and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provisions so indicated.

Executive for any of the three calendar years preceding the Change in Control of the Company; provided, however, that if the lump sum severance payment under this Section 4, either alone or together with other payments which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), such lump sum severance payment shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of the lump sum severance payment under this Section 4 being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

(b)The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive's existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any benefit plan, incentive plan or stock option plan, employment agreement or other contract, plan or arrangement.  6.Successor to the Company.(a) The Company will require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.  Any failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to  4    terminate the Executive's employment for Good Reason.  As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assign to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 6 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.
