5.         Termination
of Employment.  The date on which
Executive’s employment by the Company ceases, under any of the following
circumstances, shall be defined herein as the “Termination Date.”  All
capitalized terms used in this Section 5 without definition will have the
meanings set forth in Section 5(j).




(a)         Termination for
Cause.  The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any
time for Cause immediately upon written notice to Executive of the circumstances
leading to such termination for Cause.  If Executive’s employment is
terminated for Cause, Executive shall receive payment for all accrued salary
through the Termination Date (which in this event shall be the date upon which
notice of termination is given) and the Earned Benefits.  The Company
shall have no obligation to pay severance of any kind nor to make any payment in
lieu of notice if Executive is terminated for Cause.




(b)         Voluntary
Termination.  Executive may voluntarily terminate employment
with the Company at any time upon 30 days’ prior written
notice.  Within ten days after the Termination Date, Executive shall
receive payment for all accrued salary through the Termination Date and the
Earned Benefits, after which no further compensation of any kind or severance
payment will be payable under this Agreement.




2


(c)         Termination Upon
Disability.  The Company may terminate Executive’s employment
in the event Executive suffers a disability that renders Executive unable to
perform the essential functions of Executive’s position, even with reasonable
accommodation in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, for three
consecutive months within any six-month period.  Within ten days after
the Termination Date, which in this event shall be the date upon which notice of
termination is given, Executive shall receive payment for all accrued salary
through the Termination Date and the Earned Benefits, after which no further
compensation will be payable under this Agreement.  The foregoing
shall not affect any rights that Executive may have under applicable workers’
compensation laws or any disability plan of the Company.




(d)         Termination Without
Cause.  The Company may terminate Executive’s employment
without Cause at any time upon 30 days’ prior written
notice.  Executive will be deemed to have been terminated without
Cause if the Company elects not to renew this Agreement pursuant to Section
1(e).  Within ten days after the Termination Date, Executive shall
receive payment for all accrued salary through the Termination Date and the
Earned Benefits.  In addition




(i)        Through
the second anniversary of the Termination Date the Company will offer continued
medical-related insurance coverage (including, as applicable, health, dental,
vision and/or cancer) to Executive at the levels and at the rates applicable
from time to time to comparable active employees of the
Company.  COBRA continuation coverage eligibility shall commence as of
the day following the second anniversary of the Termination
Date.  Notwithstanding the above, coverage under the Company’s group
medical plan shall cease on the date (A) Executive fails to pay the required
premium on time, (B) Executive becomes eligible for coverage under Medicare or
the group health plan of any other employer, or (C) the Company terminates its
group medical plan as to all its employees.




(ii)       The
Company shall pay Executive as severance the following:




(A)If the Termination Date
occurs other than within 18 months after a Change in Control, an amount equal to
200% of the sum of (x) Executive’s annual base salary as in effect
immediately prior to the Termination Date plus (y) Executive’s target bonus
under the IC Plan for the Termination Year.  The severance shall be
paid in equal installments on each of the Company’s regular payroll dates during
the 24-month period commencing on the first such payroll date following the
Termination Date (subject to Section 5(h)).




(B)      If
the Termination Date occurs within 18 months after a Change in Control, an
amount equal to (x) 200% of the sum of (1) Executive’s annual base salary
as in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date plus (2) Executive’s
target bonus under the IC Plan for the Termination Year, plus (y) the Pro Forma
Bonus.  The severance shall be paid in a single lump sum within ten
days after the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the Change in
Control is not also a “change in control event” (as defined in Treasury
Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)) with respect to ATC, the Company will pay the
severance described in this Section 5(d)(ii)(B) in substantially equal
installments during the 24-month period immediately following the Termination
Date in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices.




3


(iii)The Company will pay up
to $25,000 of the cost of an executive level individualized career transition
program through a professional outplacement firm selected by the Company if such
program is initiated within 30 days after the Termination Date.




If
Executive dies after the Termination Date, the payment or payments due
thereafter under Section 5(d)(ii)(A) or (B) shall be made to Executive’s estate
but the benefits provided in Sections 5(d)(i) and (iii) shall terminate as of
the date of death.  As a condition to receiving the payments and
benefits provided by this Section 5(d) (other than payment for all accrued
salary through the Termination Date and the Earned Benefits, which shall be
payable in any case), Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company on the
Termination Date a general release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A.




(e)         Good
Reason.  If the Company (i) materially diminishes Executive’s
duties, authority, responsibility or base salary without performance
justification, or (ii) materially breaches this Agreement (any such event being
a “Good Reason Event”), Executive may terminate employment if (A) Executive has
given written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason Event no
later than 90 days after its initial existence, (B) the Company has not remedied
such Good Reason Event in all material respects within 30 days after its receipt
of such written notice, and (C) Executive terminated employment within one year
following the initial existence of such Good Reason Event.  A
termination in such circumstances shall be treated as a Company termination
without Cause and Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits
provided in Section 5(d).




(f)         No Other Payments or
Benefits.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, (i) after the Termination Date Executive will not be entitled to any
payments from the Company and (ii) on the Termination Date Executive’s
participation in and coverage under the Company’s benefit programs (including
the ATC Retirement Savings Plan (i.e., the 401(k) plan) and the Company’s group
life and disability insurance plans) shall cease; provided that Executive shall
retain any right to convert to individual coverage as permitted under these
insurance plans and to any vested benefits under the 401(k) plan and the
Company’s stock incentive plans.




(g)         Withholding.  Any
amounts payable under this Section 5 shall be subject to standard withholdings
for taxes and social security and the like.




(h)         Payments to a SpecifiedEmployee.  If
Executive is a “specified employee” of the Company (as defined in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) and




(i)         if
amounts payable under this Section 5 are on account of an “involuntary
separation from service” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(m))
and if all amounts payable under this Section 5 will not be paid on or before
March 15th of the year immediately following the Termination Date, then the
amounts payable during the six-month period immediately following the
Termination Date shall equal the lesser of (A) the amount otherwise payable
under this Section 5 for such six-month period or (B) two




4




times the
compensation limit in effect under IRC Section 401(a)(17) for the calendar year
in which the Termination Date occurs, and any amounts that otherwise would have
been payable under this Section 5 during such six-month period shall be paid on
the first regular payroll date following the end of such six-month period;
or




(ii)        if
the Company reasonably determines that such termination is not an “involuntary
separation from service” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(m)), amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month
period immediately following the Termination Date (including any lump sum
payments) shall be paid on the first regular payroll date immediately following
the end of such six-month period.




(i)          IRC Section
409A.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that any amounts payable (or benefits provided) under
this Agreement are subject to the provisions of IRC Section 409A, to the extent
determined necessary, the parties agree to amend this Agreement in the least
restrictive manner necessary to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income
recognition on Executive under IRC Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations and
Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder.

(i)         “Cause”

Section 4999 (the “Parachute Excise Tax”) with respect to any amounts paid or
payable to Executive under this Agreement, then the Company and Executive agree
that:




(a)         If
the aggregate of all “parachute payments” (as such term is used under IRC

computation of the excess parachute payment in accordance with IRC Section 280G
shall be done by a nationally recognized and reputable independent accounting or
valuation firm selected and paid for by the Company.




(d)         Executive
shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service
that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of any tax
gross-up payments.  Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is informed in
writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim
and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid.  Executive
shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following
the date on which Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter
period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim
is due).  If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the
expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive
shall:


7




(i)         give
the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such
claim,




(ii)        take
such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall
reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
reasonably selected by the Company,




(iii)      
cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such
claim, and




(iv)       permit
the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such
claim;




provided,
however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses
(including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such
contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis,
for any excise tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and
expenses.  Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with
such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all
administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing
authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct
Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in
any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such
claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment
to Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any excise tax or income tax (including
interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance
or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further
provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of
taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested
amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested
amount.  Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be
limited to issues with respect to which a gross-up payment would be payable
hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may
be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority.




(e)         If,
after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to
this Section 6, Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to
such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the
requirements of this Section 6) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such
refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes
applicable thereto).  If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to this Section 6, a determination is made that
Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the
Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such
denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination,
then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and
the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of
gross-up payment required to be paid.


8




7.         Proprietary
Information Obligations.  Prior to and/or
during the term of employment under this Agreement, Executive has had and/or
will have access to and has become and/or will become acquainted with the
confidential and proprietary information of the Business (as defined in Section
9) and the Company and its affiliates and customers, including but not limited
to confidential and proprietary information or plans regarding customer
relationships; personnel; sales, marketing, and financial operations and
methods; trade secrets; formulas; devices; secret inventions; processes and
other compilations of information, records, and specifications (collectively
“Proprietary Information”).  Executive shall not disclose any of the
Proprietary Information directly or indirectly, or use it in any way, either
during the term of this Agreement, or at any time thereafter, except as required
in the course of employment hereunder or as authorized in writing by the
Company.  All files, records, documents, computer-recorded
information, drawings, specifications, equipment and similar items relating to
the Business or the Company or its affiliates, whether prepared by Executive or
otherwise coming into Executive’s possession prior to or during the term of this
Agreement, shall remain the exclusive property of the Company or such affiliate
or customer and shall not be removed from the premises of the Company or its
affiliate under any circumstances whatsoever without the prior written consent
of the Company, except when (and only for the period) necessary to carry out
Executive’s duties hereunder, and if removed shall be immediately returned upon
any termination of Executive’s employment and no copies thereof shall be kept by
Executive.




8.         Noninterference.  While employed by
the Company and for a period of 36 months thereafter, Executive shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Company, interfere with the Company by
directly or indirectly soliciting, attempting to solicit, inducing, or otherwise
causing or assisting any person who is then employed by the Company to terminate
such employment in order to become an employee, consultant or independent
contractor to or for any employer other than the Company.




9.         Noncompetition.  Executive agrees
that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 24 months after the
termination hereof, Executive will not, without the prior consent of the
Company, directly or indirectly, have an interest in, be employed by, be
connected with, or have an interest in (as an employee (whether full-time,
part-time or temporary), consultant, officer, director, partner, stockholder,
joint venturer, promoter or lender), any person or entity owning, managing,
controlling, operating or otherwise participating or assisting in any business
that is either (a) similar to the Business (or any portion thereof) and would
benefit from the disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets or (b) in competition
with the Business (or any portion thereof) in any of the 50 states in the United
States of America; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent
Executive from being a stockholder of less than 1% of the issued and outstanding
securities of any class of a corporation listed on a national securities
exchange or designated as national market system securities on an interdealer
quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a business
will be deemed to be in competition with the Business at a given point in time
if any of the customers of such business were customers of the Business at any
time during the 18 months preceding the time in question.  As used
herein, “Business” means the Company’s businesses of remanufacturing and
distributing drive train and electronic products used in the repair of vehicles,
and




9


providing
value-added warehouse, distribution and order fulfillment services, return
material reclamation and disposition services, and electronic equipment testing
and refurbishment and repair services.




10.         Remedies.  Executive
acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any the
provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9 will result in the Business and the Company and
its affiliates suffering irreparable harm that cannot be calculated or fully or
adequately compensated by recovery of damages alone.  Accordingly,
Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to interim, interlocutory
and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable
remedies, in addition to any other relief to which the Company may become
entitled should there be such a breach or threatened breach.




11.         Miscellaneous.

THIS
GENERAL RELEASE is entered into by the undersigned (“Employee”) as of the date
appearing next to Employee’s signature hereto.  Employee agrees as
follows:




1.         Termination
of Employment.  Employee’s
employment with ATC Technology Corporation and/or one of its subsidiaries (ATC
and its subsidiaries being referred to collectively as the “Company”) is being
terminated and the Company will provide Employee with certain benefits upon the
termination of employment provided that, among other things, Employee executes
and delivers this General Release.




2.         General
Release.  Employee
hereby




(a)         releases
and discharges the Company and its officers, directors, employees, benefit plan
administrators and trustees, and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”)
from any and all claims, liabilities, demands and causes of action, whether
known or unknown, fixed or contingent, that Employee may have or claim to have
against any of the Released Parties relating to, or arising out of, Employee’s
employment with the Company or the termination thereof, and




(b)         covenants
not to initiate or participate in (except pursuant to a lawful subpoena) any
lawsuit or other legal proceeding asserting any such claims, liabilities,
demands or causes of action.




This
General Release shall be broadly construed to include, but not be limited to,
all claims under any federal, state, or local laws, statutes, regulations, or
ordinances (including those prohibiting employment discrimination, such as the
federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act), and all claims in contract or
tort including, but not limited to, claims for breach of contract, negligence,
defamation, and wrongful or retaliatory discharge.  This General
Release does not include any claim Employee may have based upon facts occurring
after the date that Employee executes this General Release.




3.         Knowing and
Voluntary.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Employee
has read and understands this General Release in its entirety; (b) Employee has
been advised in writing to consult with an attorney concerning this General
Release before signing it; (c) Employee has 21 calendar days after receipt of
this General Release to consider its terms before signing it; (d) Employee has
the right to revoke this General Release in full within seven calendar days of
signing it and that none of the terms and provisions of this General Release
shall become effective or be enforceable until such revocation period has
expired; (e) nothing contained in this General Release waives any claim that may
arise after the date of its execution; and (f) Employee is executing this
General Release knowingly and voluntarily, without duress or reservation of any
kind, and after giving the matter full and careful consideration.




IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this General Release as of the
date set forth below.
