to determine his level of achievement of those objectives, and (y) any such
plan may be modified or eliminated in the Company’s sole discretion in

the performance of his duties hereunder.




5.           Termination
of Employment.  The date on which
Executive's employment by the Company ceases, under any of the circumstances
provided in Section 5(a)-(g), 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(l).




(a)           End of Employment
Term.  Unless terminated earlier pursuant to
Section 5(b)-(g), Executive’s employment will terminate on
December 31, 2008, provided that on December 31, 2008 the employment
term shall automatically renew until December 31, 2009 unless the Company
gives Executive written notice of nonrenewal on or before September 30,
2008.  Within ten business days after the Termination Date, Executive
shall receive payment for all accrued salary through the Termination Date and
the Earned Benefits.  Executive shall also receive the LTIP Payment
under a particular Long-Term Incentive Plan upon the completion of the Company’s
audited consolidated financial statements for the last year of such Long-Term
Incentive Plan (e.g., 2008 in the case of the 2006-2008 Long-Term Incentive
Plan).  Except as provided above, no compensation of any kind or
severance payment will be payable under this Agreement due to a termination
pursuant to this Section 5(a), except that if a Change in Control occurs
within 18 months prior to Executive’s termination pursuant to this
Section 5(a), such termination shall be treated as a Company termination
without Cause and Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits
provided in Section 5(f).


2




(b)           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.




(c)           Voluntary
Termination.  Executive may voluntarily terminate his
employment with the Company at any time upon 90 days’ prior written
notice.  Within ten business 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.  If the Board
determines that Executive has provided all services and cooperation required by
the Board to transition Executive’s position to a successor (regardless of
whether an orderly transition has actually occurred), Executive shall also
receive the LTIP Payment under a particular Long-Term Incentive Plan upon the
completion of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the
last year of such Long-Term Incentive Plan (e.g., 2008 in the case of the
2006-2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan).




(d)           Termination Upon
Death.  Executive’s employment will terminate upon his
death.  Within ten business days after the Termination Date,
Executive’s estate shall receive payment for all accrued salary through the
Termination Date and the Earned Benefits.  Executive’s estate shall
also receive the LTIP Payment under a particular Long-Term Incentive Plan upon
the completion of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for
the last year of such Long-Term Incentive Plan.  Except as provided
above, no compensation of any kind or severance payment will be payable under
this Agreement due to a termination pursuant to this
Section 5(d).




(e)           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 his position, even with reasonable
accommodation in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, for three
consecutive months.  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(f) and
Section 5(i)(i).  The foregoing shall not affect any rights that
Executive may have under applicable workers’ compensation laws or any disability
plan of the Company.




(f)           Termination Without
Cause.  The Company may terminate Executive's employment
without Cause at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice.  Within
ten business days after the Termination Date, Executive shall receive payment
for all accrued salary through the Termination Date and the Earned
Benefits.  Executive shall also receive the LTIP Payment under a
particular Long-Term Incentive Plan upon the completion of the Company’s audited
consolidated financial statements for the last year of such Long-Term Incentive
Plan.  In addition, the Company shall pay Executive as severance an
amount equal to 200% of the sum of Executive’s annual base salary and his target
bonus under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan for the year in which the
Termination Date occurs, provided that if the Termination Date occurs within 18
months after a Change in Control


3




the
severance amount will equal 300% of the sum of such annual base salary and
target bonus.  Subject to Section 11, the severance shall be paid
in equal installments on each of the Company’s regular payroll dates during the
two-year period following the Termination Date, unless the Termination Date
occurs within 18 months after a Change in Control, in which case the severance
will be paid in a single lump sum within ten business days after the Termination
Date.  The Company will pay up to $25,000of the cost of an
executive level individualized career transition program through a professional
outplacement firm mutually selected by the Company and the Executive 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 this Section 5(f) shall be made to Executive’s estate but
the career transition benefits shall terminate as of the date of
death.  As a condition to receiving the payments and benefits provided
by this Section 5(f) (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.




(g)           Fundamental
Changes.  If the Company (i) materially diminishes
Executive's duties, authority, responsibility or compensation without
performance justification, or (ii) breaches this Agreement in any material
respect, Executive may terminate his employment, provided that Executive has
given the Company 30 days’ written notice prior to such termination and the
Company has not cured such diminution or breach, as the case may be, by the end
of such 30-day period.  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(f) and
Section 5(i)(i).




(h)           Medical
Coverage.  Except in the case of Executive’s death or
termination for Cause, until the fifth anniversary of the Termination Date (such
five-year period being the “Coverage Period”) the Company will provide continued
medical-related insurance coverage to Executive and his spouse at the levels and
at the rates applicable from time to time to comparable active employees and
spouses of the Company.  Medical-related insurance coverage includes
health, dental, vision and/or cancer.  COBRA continuation coverage
eligibility shall commence as of the day following the end of the Coverage
Period.  Notwithstanding the above, coverage under each of these plans
shall cease on the date (i) Executive (or his spouse in the event Executive
dies during the Coverage Period) fails to pay timely the premium required by
such plan, (ii) Executive (or his spouse in the event Executive dies during
the Coverage Period) becomes eligible for coverage under Medicare or the group
health plan of any other employer, or (iii) the Company terminates such
plan as to all its employees, provided, however, that if the Company terminates
such plan, the Company shall make a lump sum payment to Executive (or to his
spouse in the event Executive dies during the Coverage Period) equal to
(x) the Company’s contribution to such plan with respect to Executive and
his spouse (or just his spouse if Executive is then no longer alive) for the
last full month during which coverage was provided under such plan multiplied by
(y) the number of months remaining in the Coverage Period.




(i)           Vesting of Restricted Stock
and Stock Options.  All of Executive’s restricted stock and
unvested stock options that are outstanding as of the Termination Date will be
treated as follows following the Termination Date:


4




(i)           In
the case of termination pursuant to Section 5(a) or Company termination
without Cause, such restricted stock and unvested options will continue to vest
after the Termination Date according to their vesting schedules notwithstanding
the fact that Executive has ceased to be an employee of the
Company.




(ii)           In
the case of Executive’s death, such restricted stock and unvested options shall
fully vest as of the Termination Date.




(iii)           In
the case of voluntary resignation, such restricted stock and unvested options
will terminate on the Termination Date unless the Board determines that
Executive has provided prior to the termination of Executive’s employment all
services and cooperation required by the Board to transition Executive’s
position to a successor (regardless of whether an orderly transition has
actually occurred), in which case such restricted stock and unvested options
will continue to vest after the Termination Date according to their vesting
schedules notwithstanding the fact that Executive has ceased to be an employee
of the Company.




(iv)           In
the case of termination for Cause, restricted stock and unvested options will
terminate on the Termination Date.




(v)           Except
in the case of termination for Cause, options that are vested as of the
Termination Date or subsequently vest pursuant to this Section 5(i) shall
remain in effect and be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the date of
grant.




(j)           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 option plans.




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




(l)           Definitions.




(i)           "Cause" means the occurrence
or existence of any of the following with respect to Executive, as determined by

of Directors then in office; or




(D)           a

through the Termination Date and (B) the denominator of which is the number
of days in such Long-Term Incentive Plan (e.g., 1,095 in the case of the

6.           Proprietary
Information Obligations.  Prior to and/or
while employed by the Company, 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 8) and the Company and
its affiliates, 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 while employed
by the Company, or at any time thereafter, except as required in the course of
his 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 his possession prior to or while employed by the Company,
shall remain the


7




exclusive
property of the Company or such affiliate 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 his employment and no
copies thereof shall be kept by Executive.




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




8.           Noncompetition.  Executive agrees
that while employed by the Company and during the 24 months after the
Termination Date, he 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
(i) similar to the Business (or any portion thereof) and would benefit from
the disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets or (ii) 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 any and all of the businesses in which the Company
is engaged as of the Termination Date.




9.           Remedies.  Executive
acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any the
provisions of Sections 6, 7 or 8 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.




10.           Excise
Tax Gross-Up Payment.  If Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Company without Cause within 18 months after a
Change in Control and Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by
Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) 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 Code
Section 280G) exceeds 300% of the “base amount” (as such term is used under Code
Section 280G), then the Company shall pay to Executive a tax gross-up payment so
that after payment by or on behalf of Executive of all federal, state and local
excise,  8




income,
employment, Medicare and any other taxes (including any related penalties and
interest) resulting from the payment of the parachute payments and the tax
gross-up payments to Executive by the Company, Executive retains on an after-tax
basis an amount equal to the amount that Executive would have retained if
Executive had not been subject to the Parachute Excise Tax; provided, however,
that the Company’s maximum tax gross-up payment under this Section 10 shall
not exceed $5,000,000.




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




(c)           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 (10) 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 thirty (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:




(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 10, 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


9




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.




(d)           If,
after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to
this Section 10, 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 10) 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 10, 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 thirty (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.




11.           Code
Section 409A.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary:




(a)           If
payment or provision of any amount or other benefit that is “deferred
compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code at the time otherwise
specified in this Agreement or elsewhere would subject such amount or benefit to
additional tax pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, and if payment or
provision thereof at a later date would avoid any such additional tax, then the
payment or provision thereof shall be postponed to the earliest date on which
such amount or benefit can be paid or provided without incurring any such
additional tax.  In the event this Section 11 requires a deferral of
any payment, such payment shall be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on
such earliest date without interest.




(b)           If
any payment or benefit permitted or required under this Agreement, or otherwise,
is reasonably determined by either party to be subject for any reason to a
material risk of additional tax pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code,
including when final regulations are issued thereunder, then the parties shall
negotiate in good faith on appropriate provisions to avoid such risk without
materially changing the economic value of this Agreement to either
party.
