a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business in Clinton, New Jersey (the “Company”),
RAKESH K. JINDAL (the “Executive”), and FOSTER WHEELER INTERNATIONAL CORP., a Delaware corporation
having a principal place of business in Clinton, New Jersey (the “Guarantor”).




          WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed by the Company, and the Executive and the Company
wish to continue their employment relationship, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement; and




          WHEREAS, the Guarantor is an affiliate of the Company and will receive substantial indirect
benefits from the Executive’s employment with the Company on the terms set forth in this Agreement
and all parties desire that the Guarantor guaranty the Company’s obligations under this Agreement;




          ACCORDINGLY, the parties hereby agree as follows:




          1. Employment, Duties and Acceptance.




               1.1 Employment, Duties. The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ the Executive
for the Term (as defined in Section 2.1), to render exclusive and full-time services to the
Company; provided, however, that the Executive may participate in civic, charitable, industry, and
professional organizations to the extent that such participation does not materially interfere with
the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. As the Company may require, the services the
Executive provides to the Company may include serving as an officer of the Parent (as defined in
Section 4.3.1), but in no event shall such service as an officer be deemed to create an employment
relationship with the Parent.



               1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the
services described above. During the Term, and consistent with the above, the Executive agrees to
serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive’s ability, to devote the Executive’s
entire business time, energy and skill to such employment, and to use the Executive’s best efforts,
skill and ability to promote the Company’s interests.



               1.3 Fiduciary Duties to the Company. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive
owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests
of the Company and to do no act which would, directly or indirectly, injure the Company’s business,
interests, or reputation. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or
benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which interest might in
any way adversely affect Company, involves a possible conflict of interest. In keeping with
Executive’s fiduciary duties to the Company, Executive agrees that Executive shall not knowingly
become involved in a conflict of interest with the Company, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a
conflict to continue. Moreover, Executive shall not engage in any activity which might involve a
possible conflict of interest without first obtaining approval in accordance with the Company’s
policies and procedures.



 









 





               1.4 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder shall be
performed primarily at the Company’s offices in Clinton, New Jersey, subject to reasonable travel
requirements consistent with the nature of the Executive’s duties from time to time on behalf of
the Company. The Executive shall keep Executive’s primary residence within reasonable daily
commute of the Clinton, New Jersey area throughout the Term.



          2. Term of Employment.




               2.1 Term. The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Term”)
shall commence on the date first set forth above (the “Effective Date”), and shall end on the date
on which the Term is terminated pursuant to Section 4.

               3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the Executive during the Term a base salary at the initial
annual rate of Three Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($330,000)(the “Base Salary”). On each
anniversary of the Effective Date or such other appropriate date during each year of the Term when
the salaries of executives at the Executive’s level are normally reviewed, the Company and/or the
Compensation Committee of the Parent’s (as defined in Section 4.3.1) Board of Directors (the entire
Board of Directors, the “Board”; the Compensation Committee of the Board, the “Committee”) as
necessary or appropriate to comply with company policy, applicable law, or exchange listing
requirements, shall review the Base Salary and determine if, and by how much, the Base Salary
should be increased provided, however, the Base Salary under this Agreement, including as
subsequently adjusted upwards, may not be decreased thereafter without the written consent of
Executive, except for across-the-board changes for executives at the Executive’s level. All
payments of Base Salary or other compensation hereunder shall be less such deductions or
withholdings as are required by applicable law and regulations.



               3.2 Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible to participate, as determined by the
Company, and/or the Committee as necessary or appropriate to comply with company policy, applicable
law, or exchange listing requirements, in the Company’s annual incentive program as in effect from
time to time for executives at the Executive’s level. The Executive shall be eligible for an
annual incentive bonus at a target opportunity of fifty percent (50%) of Base Salary (up to a
maximum opportunity of one hundred percent (100%) of Base Salary) based upon the achievement of
certain business unit objectives established in advance by the Company, and/or the Committee as
necessary or appropriate to comply with company policy, applicable law, or exchange listing
requirements (the “Annual Bonus”). The actual amount of any Annual Bonus shall be determined by
and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s annual incentive program as in effect from time
to time and the Executive shall have no absolute right to an Annual Bonus in any year.



               3.3 Equity Awards. The Executive shall be eligible for annual equity awards, as
determined by the Company, and/or the Committee as necessary or appropriate to comply with company
policy, applicable law, or exchange listing requirements, under the Company’s and/or the Parent’s

                              (E) Safe Harbor Amount. The “Safe Harbor Amount” means the maximum Parachute Value of
all Payments that the Executive can receive without any Payments being subject to the Excise Tax.



                              (F) Value. “Value” of a Payment shall mean the economic present value of a Payment as
of the date of the change of control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the
Accounting Firm (as defined below) using the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the
Code.



                         (ii) Gross-Up Payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement other than as set
forth below in this Subsection 4.3.6(ii), in the event it shall be determined that any Payment
would be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional
payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes
(and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation,
any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax
imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to
the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Any Gross-Up Payment will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable but in no event later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the
Excise Tax is incurred. Despite and as an exception to the foregoing provisions of this Section
4.3.6(ii), if the Executive is subject to the Excise Tax but the sum of the Payments when
calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code do not exceed 110% of the
Executive’s Safe Harbor Amount, then (1) the Company shall not make any Gross-Up Payment to the
Executive, and (2) the Payments otherwise payable to the Executive shall be reduced so that the
Payments in the aggregate equal the largest amount that does not exceed the Safe Harbor Amount. In
such event, the Company shall promptly notify the Executive of its intent to reduce the amount of
the Payments, and, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, shall consult with the Executive as
to which of the specific Payment(s) shall be so reduced in order to bring the aggregate of the
Payments within the Safe Harbor Amount.



                         (iii) Determination of the Gross-Up Payment. Subject to the provisions of paragraph
(iv) immediately below, all determinations required to be made under this Subsection 4.3.6,
including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment
and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as
may be designated by the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide
detailed



9









 







supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the
receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is
requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or
auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive may
appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder
(which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as
determined pursuant to this Subsection 4.3.6, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within
five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination
by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been
made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to
paragraph (iv) below and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax,
the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.



                         (iv) Notification. The 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 the
Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten
business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim. The Executive shall
apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period
following the date on which the 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 the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that the Company desires
to contest such claim, the Executive shall:



                              (A) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such
claim;



                              (B) 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;



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



                              (D) 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 the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest and penalties) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and
expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (iv), the Company shall
control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole discretion, may
pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole discretion, either direct
the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible
manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any
administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in


10









 






one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the
Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the
amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the
Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or
penalties) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income in connection
with such advance; and provided, further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating
to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the 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 the Gross-Up Payment would
be payable hereunder and the 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.




                         (v) Entitlement to Refund. If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to paragraph (iv) above, the Executive becomes entitled to receive
any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with
the requirements of paragraph (iv)) 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 the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to paragraph (iv), a determination
is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the
Company does not notify the 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.



                         (vi) Consent to Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsection
4.3.6, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue
Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the Executive, all or any
portion of the Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding.



               4.4 No Mitigation. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company,
the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement.



          5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition;
Non-Solicitation.




               5.1 Confidential Information. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s
services will be unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized relationships
with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as with key Company employees and that
the Executive’s work for the Company will give the Executive access to highly confidential
information not available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and confidential
marketing, sales, product development and other data and information which it would be
impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and preserve in the absence of this Section 5
and the disclosure or misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company.
Accordingly, the Executive agrees:



                    5.1.1 except in the course of performing the Executive’s duties provided for in Section 1.1,
not at any time, whether before, during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company, to
divulge to any other entity or person any confidential information acquired by the Executive
concerning the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ financial affairs or business
processes or methods or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, or any other of
its or their trade secrets. The foregoing prohibitions shall include, without limitation, directly
or indirectly



11









 







publishing (or causing, participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or
information in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story, photograph,
interview, article, essay, account or description (whether fictionalized or not) concerning any of
the foregoing, publication being deemed to include any presentation or reproduction of any written,
verbal or visual material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper,
theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or commercial. In the event
that the Executive is requested or required to make disclosure of information subject to this
Section 5.1.1 under any court order, subpoena or other judicial process, then, except as prohibited
by law, the Executive will promptly notify the Company, take all reasonable steps requested by the
Company to defend against the compulsory disclosure and permit the Company to control with counsel
of its choice any proceeding relating to the compulsory disclosure. The Executive acknowledges
that all information, the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section, is of a confidential
and proprietary character and of great value to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates;
and



                    5.1.2 to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the Executive’s employment with the
Company, or at any time that the Company may so request, all confidential memoranda, notes,
records, reports, manuals, drawings, software, electronic/digital media records, blueprints and
other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company’s (and its subsidiaries’ and
affiliates’) business and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess
or have under the Executive’s control.



               5.2 Company Protections. In consideration of the Company’s entering into this
Agreement, the Executive agrees that at all times during the Term and thereafter for twenty-four
(24) months, in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.3.2
hereof, or for twelve (12) months, in the event the Executive’s employment terminates for any other
reason, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive or on behalf of or in
conjunction with, any other person, company, partnership, corporation, business, group, or other
entity (each, a “Person”):



                    5.2.1 Non-Competition: engage in any activity for or on behalf of a Competitor, as
director, employee, shareholder (excluding any such shareholding by the Executive of no more than
5% of the shares of a publicly-traded company), consultant or otherwise, which is the same as or
similar to activity in which Executive engaged at any time during the last two (2) years of
employment by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; or



                    5.2.2 Non-Solicitation: (i) call upon any Person who is, at such Termination Date,
engaged in activity on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company for the
purpose or with the intent of enticing such Person to cease such activity on behalf of the Company
or such subsidiary or affiliate; or (ii) solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any customer of the
Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to cease doing business in whole or in part
with or through the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, or to do business with any Competitor.


For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitor” means a person or entity who or which is engaged in a
material line of business conducted by the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “a material line of business conducted by the Company
and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company” means an activity of the Company and/or any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company generating gross revenues to the Company and/or any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company of more than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in
the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Company.




               5.3 Remedies and Injunctive Relief. If the Executive commits a breach or threatens to
breach any of the provisions of Section 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, the Company shall have the right



12









 







and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by injunction or
otherwise by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach
will cause irreparable injury to the Company in addition to money damage and that money damages
alone will not provide a complete or adequate remedy to the Company, it being further agreed that
such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available to the Company under law or in equity.



               5.4 Severability. If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or
any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect
the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the
invalid portions.



               5.5 Extension of Term of Covenants Following Violation. The period during which the
prohibitions of Section 5.2 are in effect shall be extended by any period or periods during which
the Executive is in violation of Section 5.2.



               5.6 Blue Penciling by Court. If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or
5.2, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, said
provision shall then be enforceable.



               5.7 Blue Penciling by One Court Not to Affect Covenants in Another State. The parties
hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1,
5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the
event that the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is the intention of the
parties’ hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company’s right to the
relief provided above in the courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such
covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above
covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and
independent covenants.



          6. Intellectual Property.




               6.1 Company’s Rights. Notwithstanding and without limiting the provisions of
Section 5, the Company shall be the sole owner of all the products and proceeds of the Executive’s
services hereunder, including, but not limited to, all materials, ideas, concepts, formats,
suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages, programs and other intellectual properties that
the Executive may acquire, obtain, develop or create in connection with or during the Term, free
and clear of any claims by the Executive (or anyone claiming under the Executive) of any kind or
character whatsoever (other than the Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder), the
Executive shall, at the request of the Company, execute such assignments, certificates or other
instruments as the Company may from time to time deem necessary or desirable to evidence,
establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or to any
such properties.



          7. Indemnification.




               7.1 General Rule. In addition to any rights to indemnification to which the Executive
is entitled under the Company’s charter and by-laws, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Company will indemnify, from the assets of the Company supplemented by insurance in an amount
determined by the Company, the Executive at all times, during and after the Term, and, to the
maximum



13









 







extent permitted by applicable law, shall pay the Executive’s expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, which shall be paid in advance by the Company as incurred, subject to
recoupment in accordance with applicable law) in connection with any threatened or actual action,
suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of the
Company directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or omission or alleged
act or omission in relation to any affairs of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain during the Term and
thereafter insurance coverage sufficient in the determination of the Company to satisfy any
indemnification obligation of the Company arising under this Section 7.



          8. Notices.




          All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally,
one day after sent by overnight courier or three days after mailed first class, postage prepaid, by
registered or certified mail, as follows (or to such other address as either party shall designate
by notice in writing to the other in accordance herewith):

               8.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey applicable to agreements made between residents
thereof and to be performed entirely in New Jersey.



               8.2 Headings. The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only
and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.



14









 





               8.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior
agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter
hereof. No representation, promise or inducement has been made by either party that is not
embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged
representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.



               8.4 Non-exclusivity of Rights. Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation
in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or the Affiliated Companies and
for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such
rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement with the Company or the
Affiliated Companies. For avoidance of doubt, it is agreed and understood that this Agreement
shall not supersede or otherwise adversely affect any stock option, restricted stock or other form
of equity grant or award provided to Executive prior to the Effective Date, or any indemnification
agreement heretofore entered into between the Company and the Executive. Amounts which are vested
benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice
or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of the Affiliated Companies at
or subsequent to the Termination Date shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy,
practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to this
Agreement in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall not
be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under any severance plan, program or policy of the
Company and the Affiliated Companies, unless specifically provided therein in a specific reference
to this Agreement.



               8.5 Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in
this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may
have against the Executive or others. The Company agrees to pay as incurred (within ten days
following the Company’s receipt of an invoice from the Executive, which invoice the Executive must
submit to the Company not later than March 1 of the year following the year in which the expenses
were incurred), to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the
Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by
the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any
provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any
contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each
case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.



               8.6 Assignability. This Agreement, and the Executive’s rights and obligations
hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive, nor may the Executive pledge, encumber or
anticipate any payments or benefits due hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise. The Company
may assign its rights, together with its obligations, hereunder (i) to any affiliate or (ii) to a
third party in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all
of any business to which the Executive’s services are then principally devoted, provided that no
assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall relieve the Company from its obligations hereunder to
the extent the same are not timely discharged by such assignee.



               8.7 Assumption of Agreement by Successor. The Company will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required
to perform it if no such succession had taken place.



15









 





               8.8 Survival. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive any termination of this Agreement or the Term to the extent necessary to the intended
preservation of such rights and obligations.



               8.9 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed
or extended and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed
by both of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The
failure of either 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 either 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.



               8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument.



               8.11 Acknowledgement of Ability to Have Counsel Review. The parties acknowledge that
this Agreement is the result of arm’s-length negotiations between sophisticated parties each
afforded the opportunity to utilize representation by legal counsel. Each and every provision of
this Agreement shall be construed as though both parties participated equally in the drafting of
same, and any rule of construction that a document shall be construed against the drafting party
shall not be applicable to this Agreement.



          9. Dispute Resolution. 




          Subject to the rights of the Company pursuant to Section 5.3 above, any controversy, claim or
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach thereof, or the Executive’s
employment by the Company shall be settled by arbitration with three arbitrators. The arbitration
will be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its National Rules
for Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential, and
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Any such arbitration shall take place in the Clinton, New Jersey area, or in any other mutually
agreeable location. In the event any judicial action is necessary to enforce the arbitration
provisions of this Agreement, sole jurisdiction shall be in the federal and state courts, as
applicable, located in New Jersey. Any request for interim injunctive relief or other provisional
remedies or opposition thereto shall not be deemed to be a waiver or the right or obligation to
arbitrate hereunder. The arbitrator shall have the discretion to award reasonable attorneys’ fees,
costs and expenses to the prevailing party. To the extent a party prevails in any dispute arising
out of this Agreement or any of its terms and provisions, all reasonable costs, fees and expenses
relating to such dispute, including the parties’ reasonable legal fees, shall be borne by the party
not prevailing in the resolution of such dispute, but only to the extent that the arbitrator or
court, as the case may be, deems reasonable and appropriate given the merits of the claims and
defenses asserted.




          10. Free to Contract. 




          The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is able freely to accept
engagement and employment by the Company as described in this Agreement and that there are no
existing agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, that would prevent Executive
from entering into this Agreement, would prevent Executive or restrict Executive in any way from
rendering services to the Company as provided herein during the Term or would be breached by the
future performance by the Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder. The Executive also represents
and



16









 






warrants that no fee, charge or expense of any sort is due from the Company to any third
person engaged by the Executive in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company hereunder,
except as disclosed in this Agreement.




          11. Subsidiaries and Affiliates.




          As used herein, the term “subsidiary” shall mean any corporation or other business entity
controlled directly or indirectly by the Company or other business entity in question, and the term
“affiliate” shall mean and include any corporation or other business entity directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company or other business entity in
question.




          12. Code Section 409A Legal Requirement.




     12.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive constitutes
a “specified employee” as defined and applied in Section 409A of the Code as of his Termination
Date, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after
taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section 409A of the Code), and to the extent
required by Section 409A of the Code, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the
earlier of: (i) the first day following the sixth month anniversary of Executive’s Termination
Date, or (ii) the Executive’s date of death; provided, however, that any payments delayed during
this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum as soon as administratively
practicable following the sixth month anniversary of the Executive’s Termination Date. For
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A of the Code) made
under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment.” In addition, for purposes of
Section 409A of the Code, the payments described in Sections 4.2.2 and 4.3.2 shall be deemed exempt
from Section 409A of the Code to the full extent possible under any available exemptions, including
without limit, the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and
(with respect to amounts paid no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year
containing the Executive’s Termination Date) the “two-years/two-times” separation pay exemption of
Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which are all hereby incorporated by reference.



          13. Guaranty.




     13.1 The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees payment in full of all obligations of the
Company under this Agreement.
