Expense reimbursement incurred in servicing a client will at no time be greater
than that enjoyed by the company in its service agreement with the client. 4.      In the event that your employment with the Company shall be terminated
by the Company without Cause, the Company shall continue your salary (in
bi-weekly installments) as if you were still employed by the Company for a
period of six months from the date of termination. You shall be under no
obligation to seek other employment or otherwise to mitigate the Companys
obligation to continue your salary. The Company shall, during such six-month
period, continue to provide you with health insurance benefits on the same

employees of the Company, except that such six-month coverage period shall be
coterminous and shall apply to federally mandated COBRA continuation periods..

determined in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs as then in
effect. In the event of such termination neither you nor the Company shall
have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as set
forth in Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8 of this Agreement. A termination of your employment by you for Good Reason (as hereinafter
defined) shall be deemed a termination of employment by the Company without
Cause. In the event that your employment with the Company shall be terminated by
the Company for Cause or in the event that your employment is terminated
voluntarily by you or as a result of your death or Disability, you shall be
entitled to receive your salary through the date of termination. Your rights
under benefit plans and programs of the Company shall be determined in
accordance with the terms of such plans and programs as then in effect. In the

you will not, during the period of your employment with the Company and
thereafter for a period of one year commencing on the date of termination of

as principal, agent, distributor, representative, consultant, employee,
partner, stockholder, limited partner or other investor (other than an
investment of not more than (i) five percent (5%) of the stock or equity of any
corporation the capital stock of which is publicly traded or (ii) five percent
(5%) of the ownership interest of any limited partnership or other entity) or
otherwise, in any business in direct competition with the business then

relationship either for your own account or for any individual, firm or
corporation. The restriction set forth in clause (a) of this Section 7 shall
not be deemed to prohibit your employment with a corporation or other entity
which owns or operates a business in direct competition with the business then
conducted by a partner company provided that you do not participate in the
operation of such business. For purposes of this Section 7, performing
services after employment with the Company has terminated in any capacity for
organizations of which you have existing, documented relationships established
prior to your employment with the Company shall not be considered a breach of
this provision. You acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7 are in consideration
of: (i) your employment with the Company and (ii) additional good and valuable
consideration as set forth in this Agreement. You expressly agree and
acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 do not preclude
you from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on
your ability to earn a living. In addition, you agree and acknowledge that the
potential harm to the Company of the non-enforcement of this Section 7
outweighs any potential harm to you of its enforcement by injunction or
otherwise. You acknowledge that you have carefully read this Agreement, and
have given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon you by this
Agreement and are in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and
proper protection of the Company. You expressly acknowledge and agree that
each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect
to subject matter, time period and geographical area and that you have reviewed
the provisions of this Agreement with your legal counsel. 8.      In the event of a breach or threatened breach by you of any of the
provisions of Sections 5, 6, or 7 of this Agreement, you hereby consent and
agree that the Company shall (i) be entitled to cease payment of any severance
then being paid to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement and (ii) be
entitled to an injunction or similar equitable relief from any court of
competent jurisdiction restraining you from committing or continuing any such
breach or threatened breach or granting specific performance of any act
required to be performed by you under any of such provisions, without the
necessity of showing any actual damage or that money damages would not afford
an adequate remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other
security. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from
pursuing any other remedies at law or in equity which it may have with respect
to any such breach or threatened breach and in addition the Company shall be
entitled to seek any and all other remedies available at law or in equity. You
agree to indemnify and hold harmless Superior from any claim or cause of
action, including attorney fees, by any person or entity against Superior
arising out of alleged breach by you of any confidentiality agreement,
non-competition agreement or any other restrictions inconsistent with your
foregoing representations. In the event either party takes legal action to
enforce its rights under this agreement, the prevailing party shall also be
entitled to recover its actual costs and attorney fees. 9.      Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court or
arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified,
such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement,
the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with
any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally
set forth in this Agreement. The parties further agree that any such court or
arbitration panel is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable
provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision
from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending
provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional
language to this Agreement, or by making such other modifications as it deems
warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied
herein to the maximum extent 4

permitted by law. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement as so
modified by the court or arbitration panel shall be binding upon and
enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the
provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not
modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been set forth herein. 10.      This Agreement contains all the understandings and representations
between you and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all undertakings and agreements, whether oral or written, if any
there be, previously entered into by you and the Company with respect thereto. 11.      No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such
amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by you and by a
duly authorized representative of the Company. 12.      Any notice to be given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered
personally or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to
the party concerned at the address indicated above or at such other address as
such party may subsequently designate by like notice. 13.      Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be
made by the Company hereunder to you shall be subject to withholding of such
amounts relating to taxes as the Company may reasonably determine it should
withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 14.      The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state Michigan, without regard
to conflict of law principles. If the foregoing accurately sets forth our agreement, please indicate your
acceptance hereof on the enclosed counterpart of this letter and return such
counterpart to the Company. Very truly yours,SUPERIOR CONSULTANT HOLDINGS CORP.ByRichard D. HelppieChief Executive Officer
