 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 1st day of April,
2005, by and between Rayovac Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”) and Kenneth V. Biller (the “Executive”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive wish to amend and restate the provisions of the Executive’s Employment Agreement with the Company, dated
October 1, 2002, as the Company desires to employ the Executive upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive is willing and able to accept such employment on such terms and conditions; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive’s initial or continued employment with the Company is
expressly conditioned upon the agreement by the Executive to the terms and conditions of such employment as contained in this Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements contained herein (promises that include benefits to which Executive would not
otherwise be entitled or receive), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Employment Duties and Acceptance. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive agrees to serve and accept employment with the Company as President, Global
Operations, reporting directly to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. During the Term (as defined below) and the Executive shall devote all of his working time to such employment and appointment, shall devote his best efforts to
advance the interests of the Company. 

  

	2.	Term of Employment. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Executive’s employment and appointment hereunder shall be for a term commencing on the date hereof and expiring on
September 30, 2008 (the “Term”). 

  

	3.	Compensation. In consideration of the performance by the Executive of his duties hereunder, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive the following compensation which
the Executive agrees to accept in full satisfaction for his services, it being understood that necessary withholding taxes, FICA contributions and the like shall be deducted from such compensation: 

  

	 	(a)	 Base Salary. The Executive shall receive a base salary of Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000) per annum effective April 1, 2005 for the
duration of the Term (“Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be paid in equal semi-monthly installments each year, to be paid semi-monthly in arrears. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) will review from time to
time the Base 











	 	 
Salary payable to the Executive hereunder and may, in its discretion, increase the Executive’s Base Salary. Any such increased Base Salary shall be and
become the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. 


  

	 	(b)	Bonus. The Executive shall receive a bonus for each fiscal year ending during the Term, payable annually in arrears, which shall be based on Seventy-Five percent (75%) of
Base Salary paid during such fiscal year, provided the Company achieves certain annual performance goals established by the Board from time to time (the “Bonus”). The Board may, in its discretion, increase the annual Bonus. Any such
increased annual Bonus shall be and become the “Bonus” for such fiscal year for purposes of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	Insurance Coverages and Pension Plans. The Executive shall be entitled to such insurance, pension and all other benefits as are generally made available by the Company to its
executive officers from time to time. 

  

	 	(d)	Existing Stock-Based Awards. All stock options and restricted stock awards previously granted to the Executive shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their
terms. 

  

	 	(e)	New Restricted Stock Award. The Company shall grant the Executive restricted shares of the Company’s common stock as follows. On April 1, 2005, Executive shall be
awarded 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, shares that will include restrictions prohibiting the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other encumbrance of such stock (“Restricted Shares”), provided, however, that
restrictions on 50% of the Restricted Shares shall lapse on October 1, 2006 and the restrictions on the remaining 50% of the Restricted Shares shall lapse on October 1, 2007. Notwithstanding anything else set forth above, (i) restrictions on
Restricted Shares shall also lapse on a change in control of the Company (as defined in the company’s stock plan governing such award) (“Change in Control”) and (ii) any unlapsed shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the
Company in the event the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to a Change in Control. Additional terms and conditions of such restricted stock award shall be set forth in an agreement with such terms and
conditions being substantially similar (other than as set forth above) to the terms and conditions of previous restricted stock award grants to similarly situated Company executives. 

  

	 	(f)	Annual Restricted Stock Awards. Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board and the Board, on each October 1 during the term of this Agreement commencing
October 1, 2005, the Executive shall be awarded that number of shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of the Company’s common stock with a Fair Market Value equal to One Hundred and Twenty-Five Percent (125%) of the Base Salary then in
effect. Each such award will provide for vesting in three (3) equal tranches on each December 1st thereafter,
beginning the year following the grant date, 

  

 2 









	 	 
with (except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable plan document) the vesting of Fifty Percent (50%) of each such vesting tranche to be subject
to the Executive’s continued employment with the Company as of each applicable December 1st and the remaining
Fifty Percent (50%) of each such vesting tranche to be subject to the achievement of performance goals to be established by the Board from time to time (“Performance-Based Restricted Stock”), provided that One Hundred Percent (100%) of
each outstanding vesting tranche shall vest upon a Change in Control. If the required performance goals are not met in any fiscal year, so that the restrictions on Performance-Based Restricted Stock scheduled to lapse for such year do not so lapse,
the restrictions on such Performance-Based Restricted Stock will lapse the December 1 first following the originally scheduled lapse date. Notwithstanding anything else set forth above, (i) restrictions on such shares shall also lapse on a Change in
Control and (ii) any unlapsed shares of restricted stock shall be forfeited to the Company in the event the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to a Change in Control; and (iii) restrictions on such shares
shall also lapse upon the expiration of the Agreement at the end of the Term. Additional terms and conditions of such restricted stock award shall be set forth in an agreement with such terms and conditions being substantially similar (other than as
set forth above) to the terms and conditions of previous restricted stock award grants to similarly situated Company executives. 


  

	 	(g)	Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to five (5) weeks vacation each year. 

  

	 	(h)	Other Expenses and Use of Company Aircraft. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable and documented expenses actually incurred or paid by the
Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, upon presentation of expense statements, vouchers or other supporting information in accordance with Company policy. All expense reimbursements and other perquisites
of the Executive are reviewable periodically by the Compensation Committee of the Board.The Executive shall be eligible to use the Company’s aircraft for personal travel between and among home locations in Wisconsin and Florida when such
aircraft is not being used for business purposes, subject to the Company’s policy in effect from time to time with respect to personal use of Company aircraft. 

  

	 	(i)	Vehicle. The Company shall provide the Executive with the use of a leased automobile suitable for a similarly situated officer of a company similar to the Company. Unless the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Executive shall be permitted to purchase such automobile for $100 upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the lease of such automobile or (ii) the termination of
Executive’s employment. 

  

 3 









	 	(j)	D&O Insurance. The Executive shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company to the maximum extent provided by law, but not for any action, suit, arbitration or
other proceeding (or portion thereof) initiated by the Executive, unless authorized or ratified by the Board. Such indemnification shall be covered by the terms of the Company’s policy of insurance for directors and officers in effect from time
to time (the “D&O Insurance”). Copies of the Company’s charter, by-laws and D&O Insurance will be made available to the Executive upon request. 

  

	 	(k)	Legal Fees. The Company shall pay the Executive’s actual and reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement.


  

	4.	Termination. 

  

	 	(a)	Termination by the Company with Cause. The Company shall have the right at any time to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder without prior notice upon the
occurrence of any of the following (any such termination being referred to as a termination for “Cause”): 

  

	 	(i)	the commission by the Executive of any deliberate and premeditated act taken by the Executive in bad faith against the interests of the Company; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Executive has been convicted of, or pleads nolo contendere with respect to, any crime (felony or less), the circumstances of which substantially relate to the
circumstances, duties or responsibilities of Executive’s position with the Company; 

  

	 	(iii)	the current use of illegal drugs, misuse of legal drugs, or intoxication of Executive in the workplace or while performing his duties or responsibilities associated with his
position, the Executive’s failure of a Company-related drug test, or the violation of any Company drug policy; 

  

	 	(iv)	the willful failure or refusal of the Executive to perform his duties as set forth herein or the willful failure or refusal to follow the direction of the CEO, provided such failure
or refusal continues after thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice in writing from the CEO of such failure or refusal, which notice refers to this Section 4(a) and indicates the Company’s intention to terminate the Executive’s employment
hereunder if such failure or refusal is not remedied within such thirty (30) day period; or 

  

	 	(v)	 the Executive breaches any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Executive and the Company which breach is not cured within thirty (30)
days subsequent to notice from the Company to the Executive of such breach, which notice refers to this Section 4(a) and 



  

 4 









	 	 
indicates the Company’s intention to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder if such breach is not cured within such thirty (30) day period.



  

	 	(b)	Termination by Company for Death or Disability. The Company shall have the right at any time to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice upon the Executive’s inability to perform his duties hereunder by reason of any mental, physical or other disability for a period of at least six (6) consecutive months (for purposes hereof, “disability” has the
same meaning as in the Company’s disability policy), if within 30 days after such notice of termination is given, the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of his duties. The Company’s obligations hereunder shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 5(b), also terminate upon the death of the Executive. 

  

	 	(c)	Termination by Company without Cause. The Company shall have the right at any time to terminate the Executive’s employment for any other reason without Cause upon sixty
(60) days prior written notice to the Executive. 

  

	 	(d)	Voluntary Termination by Executive. The Executive shall be entitled to terminate his employment and appointment hereunder upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the
Company. Any such termination shall be treated as a termination by the Company for “Cause” under Section 5, unless notice of such termination was given within sixty (60) days after a Change in Control, in which case such termination shall
be treated in accordance with Section 5(c) hereof. 

  

	 	(e)	Constructive Termination by the Executive. The Executive shall be entitled to terminate his employment and appointment hereunder, without prior notice, upon the occurrence of
a Constructive Termination. Any such termination shall be treated as a termination by the Company without Cause. For this purpose, a “Constructive Termination” shall mean: 

  

	 	(i)	a reduction in Base Salary (other than as permitted hereby); 

  

	 	(ii)	a reduction in annual Bonus opportunity; 

  

	 	(iii)	a change in location of office of more than seventy-five (75) miles from Madison, Wisconsin; 

  

	 	(iv)	unless with the express written consent of the Executive, (a) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any substantial respect with the Executive’s
position, authority or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 1 of this Agreement or (b) any other substantial change in such position, including titles, authority or responsibilities from those contemplated by Section 1 of the Agreement; or


  

	 	(v)	any material reduction in any of the benefits described in Section 3(c), (g), (h), (i) or (j) hereof. 

  

 5 








 For purposes of any stock option agreements or any restricted stock award agreements, Constructive
Termination shall be treated as a termination of employment by the Company without “Cause.” 
  

	 	(f)	Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive for Constructive Termination shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other
party hereto given in accordance with Section 8. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice given prior to the termination which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the termination date is other than the date of
receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date of this Agreement (which date shall be not more than fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, unless a thirty-day notice is required pursuant to another section of this Agreement). The
failure by any party to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause or Constructive Termination shall not waive any right of such party hereunder or preclude such party from asserting such
fact or circumstance in enforcing its rights hereunder. 

  

	5.	Effect of Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	(a)	With Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated with Cause, the Executive’s salary and other benefits specified in Section 3 shall cease at the time of such
termination, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation specified in Section 3 which was not required to be paid prior to such termination; provided, however, that the Executive shall be entitled to continue to participate in the
Company’s medical benefit plans to the extent required by law. 

  

	 	(b)	Without Cause, Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (a) without Cause or (b) by reason of death or disability, and the
Executive executes a separation agreement with a release of claims agreeable to the Company (to the extent that the Executive is physically and mentally capable to execute such an agreement), then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts and
provide the Executive the benefits as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	 The Company shall pay to the Executive as severance, an amount in cash equal to double the sum of (A) the Executive’s Base Salary, and (B) the annual Bonus (if
any) earned by the Executive pursuant to any annual bonus or incentive plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year ending immediately prior to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, such cash amount to be paid to the
Executive ratably monthly in arrears over the 24-month period immediately following such termination. Notwithstanding the 



  

 6 









	 	 
foregoing, if payment in accordance with the preceding sentence would subject the Executive to tax under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, then payment will be suspended until the first date as of which payment can be made without subjecting the Executive to such tax. 


  


	 	(ii)	For the greater of (i) the 24-month period immediately following such termination or (ii) the remainder of the Term, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his
dependents the additional benefits specified in Section 3(c) substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents by the Company immediately prior to the date of termination, at no greater cost to the Executive or the Company
than the cost to the Executive and the Company immediately prior to such date. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii) shall cease immediately upon the discovery by the Company of the Executive’s breach
of the covenants contained in Section 6 or 7 hereof. In addition, benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the
Executive during the 24-month period following the Executive’s termination of employment (and any such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive); provided, however, that the
Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the date of termination. 

  

	 	(iii)	The Executive’s accrued vacation (determined in accordance with Company policy) at the time of termination shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable.


  

	 	(iv)	Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state, or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive
has agreed. 

  

	 	(v)	If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Term, the Executive shall not be required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any
amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Section 5. 

  

	 	(c)	 Following Change in Control. If the Executive elects to terminate his employment within sixty (60) days following a Change in Control in accordance with
Section 4(d), and the Executive executes a separation agreement with a release of claims agreeable to the Company (to the extent that the Executive is physically and mentally capable to execute such an agreement), then such termination by the
Executive shall be treated as a termination by the Company without Cause, and the Executive shall be entitled to the 



  

 7 









	 	 
compensation provided in Section 5(b) except that instead of the payment provided for in Section 5(b)(i)(B) hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to the
annual Bonus (if any) earned pursuant to any annual bonus or incentive plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, and he shall be entitled to the full amount of such Bonus even if he terminates his
employment before the end of such fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may require that the Executive continue to remain in the employ of the Company for up to a maximum of twelve (12) months following the Change in Control (the
“Post-Term Period”). The Company shall place the maximum cash payments payable pursuant to Section 5(b) (as modified by the provisions of this Section 5(c) above with respect to Section 5(b)(i)(B) hereof) in escrow with a commercial bank
or trust company mutually acceptable to the Company and the Executive as soon as practicable following the Change in Control. For the Post-Term Period, the Company shall make the cash payments that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 3.
At the expiration of the Post-Term Period, the Executive shall receive all cash amounts due the Executive from the amount held in escrow ratably monthly over the 24-month period immediately following such termination (all such cash payments to be
deducted from the amount placed in escrow) with the balance (if any) returned to the Company. If the Company does not require that the Executive remain in the employ of the Company, the Company shall pay the Executive all cash amounts payable
pursuant to Section 5(b) (as modified by the provisions of this Section 5(c) above with respect to Section 5(b)(i)(B) hereof) ratably monthly over the 24-month period immediately following such termination (all such cash payments to be deducted from
the amount placed in escrow) with the balance (if any) returned to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if payment in accordance with the preceding sentence would subject the Executive to tax under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, then payment will be suspended until the first date as of which payment can be made without subjecting the Executive to such tax. 


  
 The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, and if the Executive does obtain other employment, all amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement shall remain fully due and payable 
  

	 	(d)	At End of Term. Upon the expiration of the Agreement at the end of the Term, all restrictions shall lapse on any of Executive’s restricted stock awards, other than any
restricted stock awards granted pursuant to the Super Bonus Program. 

  

	6.	Agreement Not to Compete. 

  

	 	(a)	 The Executive agrees that during the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), he will not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, 



  

 8 









	 	 
either separately, jointly or in association with others, as an officer, director, consultant, agent, employee, owner, principal, partner or stockholder of
any business, or in any other capacity, provide services of the same or similar kind or nature that he provides to the Company to, or have a financial interest in (excepting only the ownership of not more than 5% of the outstanding securities of any
class listed on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market), any competitor of the Company (which means any person or organization that is in the business of or makes money from designing, developing, or selling products or services similar to those
products and services developed, designed or sold by the Company) The “Non-Competition Period” is (a) the longer of the Executive’s employment hereunder plus (b) a period of one (1) year thereafter. In recognition, acknowledgement and
agreement that the Company’s business and operations extend throughout North America and beyond, the parties agree that the geographic scope of this covenant not to compete shall extend to North America. 


  

	 	(b)	Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, the Executive further agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, he will not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity,
either separately, jointly or in association with others, solicit or otherwise contact any of the Company’s customers with whom the Executive had contact, responsibility for, or had acquired confidential information about by virtue of his or
her employment with the Company at any time during his or her employment, if such contact is for the general purpose of selling products that satisfy the same general needs as any products that the Company had available for sale to its customers
during the Non-Competition Period. 

  

	 	(c)	The Executive agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, he shall not initiate contact in order to induce, solicit or encourage any person to leave the Company’s employ.
Nothing in this paragraph is meant to prohibit an employee of the Company that is not a party to this Agreement from becoming employed by another organization or person. 

  

	 	(d)	If a court determines that the foregoing restrictions are too broad or otherwise unreasonable under applicable law, including with respect to time or space, the court is hereby
requested and authorized by the parties hereto to revise the foregoing restrictions to include the maximum restrictions allowed under the applicable law. 

  

	 	(e)	For purposes of this Section 6 and Section 7, the “Company” refers to the Company and any incorporated or unincorporated affiliates of the Company.


  

	7.	Secret Processes and Confidential Information. 

  

	 	(a)	 The Executive agrees to hold in strict confidence and, except as the Company may authorize or direct, not disclose to any person or use (except in the performance
of his services hereunder) any confidential information or materials received by the Executive from 



  

 9 









	 	 
the Company and any confidential information or materials of other parties received by the Executive in connection with the performance of his duties
hereunder. For purposes of this Section 7(a), confidential information or materials shall include existing and potential customer information, existing and potential supplier information, product information, design and construction information,
pricing and profitability information, financial information, sales and marketing strategies and techniques and business ideas or practices. The restriction on the Executive’s use or disclosure of the confidential information or materials shall
remain in force during the Executive’s employment hereunder and until the earlier of (x) a period of two (2) years thereafter or (y) such information is of general knowledge in the industry through no fault of the Executive or any agent of the
Executive. The Executive also agrees to return to the Company promptly upon its request any Company information or materials in the Executive’s possession or under the Executive’s control. This Section 7(a) is not intended to preclude
Executive from being gainfully employed by another. Rather, it is intended to prohibit Executive from using the Company’s confidential information or materials in any subsequent employment or employment undertaken that is not for the benefit of
the Company during the identified period. 


  

	 	(b)	The Executive will promptly disclose to the Company and to no other person, firm or entity all inventions, discoveries, improvements, trade secrets, formulas, techniques, processes,
know-how and similar matters, whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice, which are conceived or learned by the Executive during the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company, either alone or with others, which
relate to or result from the actual or anticipated business or research of the Company or which result, to any extent, from the Executive’s use of the Company’s premises or property (collectively called the “Inventions”). The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that all the Inventions shall be the sole property of the Company, and the Executive hereby assigns to the Company all of the Executive’s rights and interests in and to all of the Inventions, it being
acknowledged and agreed by the Executive that all the Inventions are works made for hire. The Company shall be the sole owner of all domestic and foreign rights and interests in the Inventions. The Executive agrees to assist the Company at the
Company’s expense to obtain and from time to time enforce patents and copyrights on the Inventions. 

  

	 	(c)	Upon the request of, and, in any event, upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all documents,
data, records, notes, drawings, manuals and all other tangible information in whatever form which pertains to the Company, and the Executive will not retain any such information or any reproduction or excerpt thereof. 

  

	 	(d)	Nothing in this Section 7 diminishes or limits any protection granted by law to trade secrets or relieves the Executive of any duty not to disclose, use or misappropriate any
information that is a trade secret for as long as such information remains a trade secret. 

  

 10 









	8.	Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered personally, (b) upon confirmation of
receipt when such notice or other communication is sent by facsimile or telex, (c) one day after delivery to an overnight delivery courier, or (d) on the fifth day following the date of deposit in the United States mail if sent first class, postage
prepaid, by registered or certified mail. The addresses for such notices shall be as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	For notices and communications to the Company: 

  
 Rayovac Corporation 
 Six Concourse Parkway 
 Suite 3300 
 Atlanta, GA 30328 
 Facsimile: (770) 829-6298 
 Attention: James T. Lucke 
  

	 	(b)	For notices and communications to the Executive: 

  
 See the address set forth on the signature page hereto 
  
 Any party hereto may, by notice to the other, change its address for receipt of notices hereunder. 
  

	9.	General. 

  

	 	(a)	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to its conflicts of law principles.


  

	 	(b)	Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument
executed by all of the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to
enforce the same. No waiver by any party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any
such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Executive, without regard to the duration of his employment by the Company or reasons for
the cessation of such employment, and inure to the benefit of his administrators, executors, heirs and assigns, although the obligations of the Executive are personal and may be performed only by him. This Agreement shall also be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and its 



  

 11 








 
subsidiaries, successors and assigns, including any corporation with which or into which the Company or its successors may be merged or which may succeed to
their assets or business. 
  

	 	(d)	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


  

	 	(e)	Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation during his employment hereunder in any
benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company or any of its affiliates and for which the Executive may qualify. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or
program of the Company or any affiliated company at or subsequent to the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company shall, subject to the terms hereof or any other agreement entered into by the Company and the Executive
on or subsequent to the date hereof, be payable in accordance with such plan or program. 

  

	 	(f)	Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of
this Agreement. In the event that the Executive shall give a Notice of Termination for Constructive Termination and it shall thereafter be determined that Constructive Termination did not take place, the employment of the Executive shall, unless the
Company and the Executive shall otherwise mutually agree, be deemed to have terminated, at the date of giving such purported Notice of Termination, and the Executive shall be entitled to receive only those payments and benefits which he would have
been entitled to receive at such date had he terminated his employment voluntarily at such date under Section 4(d) of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(g)	Equitable Relief. The Executive expressly agrees that breach of any provision of Sections 6 or 7 of this Agreement would result in irreparable injuries to the Company, that
the remedy at law for any such breach will be inadequate and that upon breach of such provisions, the Company, in addition to all other available remedies, shall be entitled as a matter of right to injunctive relief in any court of competent
jurisdiction without the necessity of proving the actual damage to the Company. 

  

	 	(h)	 Severability. Sections 6(a), 6(b), 6(c), 7(a), 7(b) and 9(h) of this Agreement shall be considered separate and independent from the other sections of
this Agreement and no invalidity of any one of those sections shall affect any other section or provision of this Agreement. However, because it is expressly acknowledged that the pay and benefits provided under this Agreement are provided, at least
in part, as consideration for the obligations imposed upon Executive under 



  

 12 








 
Sections 6(a), 6(b), 6(c), 7(a) and 7(b), should Executive challenge those obligations or any court determine that any of the provisions under these Sections
is unlawful or unenforceable, such that Executive need not honor those provisions, then Executive shall not receive the pay and benefits, provided for in this Agreement following termination, if otherwise available to Executive, irrespective of the
reason for the end of Executive’s employment. 
  

	 	(j)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the schedule hereto constitute the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
prior negotiations, discussions, writings and agreements between them with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

  
 [signature page follows]

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
