2.1      ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION. To be eligible to participate in the
         Plan, an Active Employee must be a full-time, regular employee of the
         Company who is either a person who reports directly to the President
         and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or a key employee who is
         designated in writing by the President and Chief Executive Officer as
         eligible to participate in the Plan.

2.2      ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS. Except as provided below, if a Participant's
         employment is terminated by the Company or any successor to the
         Company, or the Participant terminates his or her employment due to
         Good Reason, without the period beginning ninety (90) days prior to a
         Change in Control and ending on the first anniversary of such Change in
         Control, the Participant will be entitled to receive the severance
         payments and benefits as set forth in Section 4 below; provided,
         however, that no severance payments shall be made, or continuing
         benefits provided, to a Participant under the Plan if any of the
         following apply:

         (a)      The Participant voluntarily resigns or retires from
                  employment, other than for Good Reason, prior to the

         (b)      The Participant's termination follows his or her failure or
                  inability to return from an approved leave of absence upon its
                  conclusion, provided that the Company has requested such
                  Participant to return under conditions that would not
                  otherwise permit the Participant to resign for Good Reason;

         (c)      The Participant is terminated for Cause;

         (d)      The Participant's employment terminates as a result of death
                  or disability (as determined for purposes of the Company's
                  disability income plans); or

         (e)      The Participant declines to sign and return the Separation
                  Agreement set forth in Appendix A hereto or revokes such
                  Separation Agreement within the time provided therein.

2.3      IMPACT ON OTHER AGREEMENTS. Severance payments hereunder shall be
         reduced by any severance or other termination payments provided under
         any other agreement between the Participant and the Company.

3.       NOTICE AND TERMINATION DATE

3.1      NOTICE. The Company shall give each Participant advance written notice
         of his or her involuntary termination of employment from the Company,
         which notice shall indicate a Termination Date not later than sixty
         (60) days after such notice is provided. A Participant terminating
         employment for Good Reason shall provide the Company with advance
         written notice specifying the Good Reason for termination and a
         Termination Date which is not less than fourteen (14) days nor more

                                       4

<Page>

         the date of the notice. Any payment for a period of notice in advance
         of a Participant's actual Termination Date shall not be included as
         payment of all or a part of the amount calculated as the Cash Payment
         described in Section 4.1, and such notice period shall not be included
         in the period over which Outplacement Assistance is made available.

3.2      TERMINATION DATE. The Participant's Termination Date shall be the date
         specified in the notice of termination designated in the notice
         provided by the Company. A Participant who is not an Active Employee on
         the date notice is scheduled to be given to him or her, as described
         above, or on the Termination Date, shall be involuntarily terminated on
         the originally scheduled Termination Date contained in the notice.

4.       SEVERANCE PAYMENTS

4.1      CASH PAYMENT. If a Participant's employment with the Company terminates
         under conditions entitling him or her to a benefit under the Plan, he
         or she shall be eligible to receive a severance payment in cash in an
         amount equal to eighteen (18) months of Pay plus Target Bonus.

4.2      METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Cash Payment shall be divided and paid in equal
         monthly installments beginning with the last business day of the month
         in which the Termination Date occurs, or, if later, the last day of the
         month which is at least seven (7) days after the Participant returns a
         properly executed Release Agreement (and does not revoke such
         Agreement) and ending with the date on which the eighteenth (18th)
         payment is made to the Participant. The Participant shall have no duty
         to mitigate the Company's obligation with respect to the severance
         payments or benefits set forth herein by seeking other employment
         following termination of his or her employment.

4.3      OUTPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE. Each Participant shall be eligible to receive
         Outplacement Assistance for a period determined by the Company.

4.4      BENEFITS COVERAGE. Coverage under all employee benefit plans and
         programs of the Company shall cease as of the Participant's Termination
         Date unless, by its terms, a plan provides for a later date.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will reduce the cost of
         coverage a Participate is required to pay under its health, dental,
         and/or vision care benefit plans for continuing such coverage as
         elected by him or her pursuant to COBRA to the then current cost of
         such benefits to active employees during the period from the
         Participant's Termination Date to the last date to which severance
         payments are attributable under Section 4.2 or, if earlier, the
         Participant's COBRA coverage terminates.

4.5      EFFECT OF REHIRE ON SEVERANCE PAY. If a Participant is rehired by the
         Company, he or she shall not be entitled to receive the remaining
         portion of the Cash Payment that had not yet been paid.

4.6      DEATH OF THE PARTICIPANT. If a Participant dies prior to receiving the
         entire Cash Payment, the remaining portion shall be paid directly to
         the Participant's surviving spouse or


                                       5

         qualified domestic partner (as that term is defined in the Company's
         health care benefits plans), or if none, then to his or her estate.

5.       GENERAL PLAN INFORMATION

5.1      AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Plan may be amended or terminated at any
         time by the Board of Directors of GGS; provided, however, that no
         amendment or termination of the Plan shall be effective with respect to
         a Participant after the occurrence of a Change in Control or Potential
         Change in Control, or after the Participant's termination of employment
         entitling him or her to benefits hereunder, without the Participant's
         written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control
         occurs within the twelve (12) month period beginning on the later of
         (a) the effective date of any amendment or termination of the Plan
         hereunder or (b) the date of adoption of the resolution approving such
         amendment or termination, or a Potential Change in Control occurs
         within such twelve (12) month period and a Change in Control occurs
         within six (6) months after such Potential Change in Control, and a
         Participant (determined immediately prior to such amendment or
         termination of the Plan) incurs a termination of employment that would
         otherwise qualify for benefits under Section 2.2 had no amendment or
         termination of the Plan occurred, then such Participant shall be
         entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in Article 4 of the
         Plan, without regard to any amendment or termination of the Plan,
         unless the Participant, in his or her sole discretion, elects in
         writing to be covered by the Plan as amended.

5.2      PLAN ADMINISTRATOR. The Plan Administrator and agent for service of
         legal process is:

         It shall be the principal duty of the Plan Administrator to see that
         the Plan is carried out in accordance with its terms. The Company
         agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by
         law any employee serving as the Plan Administrator (whether of the
         Company or an affiliated company) or as a member of a committee
         designated as Plan Administrator against all liabilities, damages,
         costs, and expenses (including attorney's fees and amounts paid in
         settlement of any claims approved by the Company) occasioned by any act
         or omission to act in connection with the Plan, if such act or omission
         is in good faith.

         The Plan Administrator shall have the right, in its discretion, to
         recoup any payment made or benefit provided hereunder that was made or
         provided by mistake, including payments made and benefits provided to
         an individual who is or is later determined to have been ineligible
         under Section 2.

5.5      CLAIMS. A Participant who believes that he or she is eligible for
         benefits under the Plan may submit a written request for benefit to the
         Plan Administrator. If the claim is denied, the Plan Administrator
         shall provide the Participant with a written explanation of the denial

         purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such
         successor will thereafter be deemed the "Company" for the purposes of

         assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the
         same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such

         be enforceable by, if then applicable, Participant's personal or legal
         representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
         distributes and legatees, but shall not otherwise be assignable the
         Participant, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or
         otherwise.

5.8      WITHHOLDING. 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 Participant has agreed.
