EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
    

    
      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered
      into by and between PREMIERE GLOBAL SERVICES, INC., a Georgia
      corporation (the “Company”), and DAVID E. TRINE (the
      “Employee”), on February 19, 2009 (the “Effective Date”).
    

    
      BACKGROUND STATEMENT
    

    
      WHEREAS, the Company considers it to be in its best interest to
      enter into this Agreement with the Employee; and
    

    
      WHEREAS, the Employee is willing to render services to the
      Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
    

    
      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the
      foregoing Background Statement and the representations, warranties and
      covenants contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
      consideration, the Company and the Employee agree to the following:
    

    
      TERMS
    

    
      Section 1. Duties. The Company hereby employs the Employee as Executive
      Vice President, Finance as of the Effective Date and as the Chief
      Financial Officer of the Company immediately following the Company’s
      filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
      2008. The Employee will have the powers, duties and responsibilities
      normally associated with the Chief Financial Officer of a corporation,
      including duties assigned to him from time to time by the Chief
      Executive Officer of the Company to whom he shall report. The Employee
      will devote substantially all of his business time to faithfully and
      industriously perform his duties and promote the business and best
      interests of the Company. The Employee’s duties hereunder are to be
      performed (subject to such travel as may be required in the conduct of
      his duties hereunder) at the Company’s corporate headquarters located in
      Atlanta, Georgia.
    

    
      Section 2. Compensation.
    

    
      Section 2.1. Base Salary. During the term of the Employee’s employment
      under this Agreement, the Company will pay the Employee an annual base
      salary of three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000),
      payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      Section 2.2. Bonus Compensation. In addition to his base salary, the
      Employee will be entitled to earn an annual bonus for each calendar year
      during the term of this Agreement in an amount to be determined based on
      performance criteria and targets established from time to time by the
      Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Unless
      the Compensation Committee determines otherwise prior to the end of the
      first quarter of a given calendar year, the Employee’s target bonus for
      each calendar year will be equal to sixty percent (60%) of his annual
      base salary for such year. For 2009, the Employee’s target bonus will be
      equal to sixty percent (60%) of his annual base salary for 2009 plus
      fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), or a total target bonus for 2009 of
      two hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($275,000). The Employee will
      also be entitled to any additional bonus and incentive compensation
      granted to Employee by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. The
      timing of determination and the date of payment of the bonus would be
      consistent with the payment dates for the other senior officers of the
      Company. If the Company pays cash bonuses on a quarterly basis, then
      such bonuses will be paid within forty-five (45) days following the end
      of the relevant quarter.  Annual cash bonuses, if any, will be paid in
      the calendar year following the year in which the bonus was earned, but
      no later than March 15 of such following year.
    

    
      Section 2.3. Employee Benefits. During the term of his employment under
      this Agreement, the Employee will be entitled to participate in all
      employee benefit programs, including pension and profit-sharing plans,
      and any medical, health, dental, disability and other insurance programs
      and any fringe benefits generally available to other senior employees of
      the Company.
    

    
      Section 2.4. Reimbursement of Expenses. During the term of his
      employment under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the
      Employee, in accordance with the Company’s policies, for all reasonable
      expenses incurred by the Employee in performing his duties hereunder.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have no obligation to
      pay reimbursements under this Section 2.4 unless the Employee submits
      timely reports of his expenditures to the Company in the manner
      prescribed by the Company.
    

    
      Section 2.5. Vacation. During the term of the Employee’s employment
      under this Agreement, the Employee will be entitled to three (3) weeks
      paid vacation annually in accordance with the Company’s policies.
    

    
      Section 2.6. Restricted Stock Award. The Chief Executive Officer of the
      Company will recommend that the Compensation Committee of the Company’s
      Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) grant Employee 100,000
      shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Company’s stock plan (the
      “Shares”) on March 31, 2009 to vest in increments of 25,000, 25,000 and
      50,000 shares, respectively, and with the restrictions of the Shares
      lapsing on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date,
      provided that the Employee is employed by the Company on such date.  The
      Chief Executive Officer of the Company will also recommend to the
      Compensation Committee that the award of the Shares provide such that
      these restrictions will lapse on any unvested Shares upon a Change in
      Control (as defined below) of the Company and that these restrictions
      will lapse on the next tranche of unvested Shares upon Employee’s
      termination without Cause (as defined below).  The Shares will be
      subject to terms and conditions as set forth in a restricted stock award
      agreement.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      Section 3. Term of Employment. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the
      Employee’s initial term of employment under this Agreement will begin on
      the Effective Date and will expire on December 31, 2009. The initial
      term of employment will automatically renew for an additional one-year
      period upon the foregoing expiration, and thereafter upon the expiration
      of any renewal term provided by this Section 3, unless the Company or
      the Employee provides written notice to the other party at least ninety
      (90) days prior to the expiration date that such party does not want
      this Agreement to renew.
    

    
      Section 4. Termination of Employment.
    

    
      Section 4.1. Automatic Termination. The Employee’s employment hereunder
      will terminate automatically upon the death of the Employee.
    

    
      Section 4.2. Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Employee
      with Good Reason.
    

    
      (a) The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment under this
      Agreement for “Cause,” which shall consist of any of the following:
    

    
      (i) the willful and continued failure of the Employee to perform
      substantially his duties with the Company (other than any such failure
      resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and
      specifically excluding any failure by the Employee, after reasonable
      efforts, to meet performance expectations), after a written demand for
      substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the Chief
      Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the
      manner in which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company believes that
      the Employee has not substantially performed his duties;
    

    
      (ii) the willful engaging by the Employee in illegal conduct or gross
      misconduct which has, or reasonably may be expected to have, a
      substantial, adverse effect upon the Company;
    

    
      (iii) the Employee’s violation of any written policy of the Company;
    

    
      (iv) the Employee’s indictment, conviction, or entry of a plea of guilty
      or nolo contendere for the commission or perpetration of any felony or
      any crime involving dishonesty, embezzlement, theft, moral turpitude, or
      fraud;
    

    
      (v) the Employee’s breach of any provision of Section 5 of this
      Agreement; or
    

    
      (vi) the Employee’s breach of any other material term or covenant of
      this Agreement; provided that such breach is not cured, if it is
      susceptible to cure, within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice
      from the Company setting forth the allegations of Cause.
    

    
      (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without
      Employee’s consent, any of the following:
    

    
      (i)  a material reduction in Employee’s base salary;
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      (ii)  a material diminution in the Employee’s authority, duties or
      responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial
      and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by
      the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Employee;
    

    
      (iii)  a material change in the geographic location at which the
      Employee must perform the services hereunder;  or
    

    
      (iv)  a material breach by the Company of any of the provisions in this
      Agreement.
    

    
      However, no such event described hereunder shall constitute Good Reason
      unless the Employee has given written notice to the Company specifying
      the event relied upon for such determination within ninety (90) days
      after the occurrence of such event and the Company has not remedied such
      situation within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. The Company
      shall notify the Employee of the timely cure of any claimed event of
      Good Reason and the manner in which such cure was effected, and any
      notice of termination delivered by the Employee based on such claimed
      Good Reason that has been cured shall be deemed withdrawn and shall not
      be effective to terminate the Agreement. Further, no such event
      described hereunder shall constitute Good Reason if six (6) months or
      longer have passed since the occurrence of an uncured event of Good
      Reason.
    

    
      (c) Upon any non-renewal of the term of this Agreement by the Company
      pursuant to Section 3 hereof, in contemplation of, or within twenty-four
      (24) months after, a Change in Control (as defined below), the
      Employee’s employment with the Company shall be terminated as of the
      expiration of the then-current term of this Agreement, and such
      termination shall be deemed to constitute a termination by the Company
      without Cause.
    

    
      (d) If the Employee’s employment with the Company under this Agreement
      is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause either before or after a
      Change in Control or (ii) by the Employee with Good Reason within
      twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control, the Employee will be
      entitled to receive: (A) an amount equal to his annual base salary
      through the date of termination (the “Termination Date”) to the extent
      not theretofore paid, payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days
      following the Termination Date; (B) a pro rata portion of any quarterly
      bonus earned by the Employee with respect to the calendar quarter in
      which the Termination Date occurs, based on actual performance under
      applicable financial metrics as of the end of such calendar quarter, and
      payable on or about the same date that bonuses for such calendar quarter
      are paid to other executive officers of the Company (in accordance with
      Section 2.2 herein); (C) a severance payment equal, in the aggregate, to
      two hundred percent (200%) of the Employee’s annual base salary in
      effect on the Termination Date; and (D) an amount equal to the cost of
      the Employee’s COBRA coverage for eighteen (18) months, determined as of
      the Termination Date.
    

    
      As a condition to the payment of the severance amounts provided in
      clauses (C) and (D), the Employee will sign a release and waiver of
      claims in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto
      (the “Release”).  The Release must be signed and returned to the Company
      within the period of time designated by the Company (not less than seven
      (7) and not more than sixty (60) days following the Employee’s receipt
      of such Release), and any revocation period required by law or
      applicable regulation with respect to the release and waiver of claims
      contained in the Release must expire without the Employee’s revoking or
      causing it to be revoked.  The severance amounts in clauses (C) and (D)
      will be payable in cash in a lump sum within seventy-five (75) days
      following the Termination Date (the actual date during such period to be
      determined by the Company in its sole discretion).
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      (e) For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean
      the occurrence of any of the following events:
    

    
      (i) An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting
      securities of the Company (“Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (as the
      term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”))
      immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within
      the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of fifty
      percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
      outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that in determining
      whether a Change in Control has occurred, Voting Securities that are
      acquired in an acquisition by (A) an employee benefit plan (or a trust
      forming a part thereof) maintained by (I) the Company or (II) any
      corporation or other person of which a majority of its voting power or
      its equity securities or equity interests are owned directly or
      indirectly by the Company (a “Subsidiary”), or (B) the Company or any
      Subsidiary, or (C) any Person in connection with a “Non-Control
      Transaction” (as hereinafter defined), shall not constitute an
      acquisition for purposes for this clause (i); or
    

    
      (ii) The individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, are members
      of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Incumbent Board”) cease
      for any reason to constitute at least sixty percent (60%) of the Board;
      provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by
      the Company’s shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote
      of at least eighty percent (80%) of the Incumbent Board, such new
      director shall for purposes of this Agreement, be considered as a member
      of the Incumbent Board; provided, further, however, that no individual
      shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual
      initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened
      “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the
      1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
      consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy
      Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or
      settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or
    

    
      (iii) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of:
    

    
      (A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company,
      unless:
    

    
      (I) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such merger,
      consolidation or reorganization, own, directly or indirectly,
      immediately following such a merger, consolidation or reorganization, at
      least fifty one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the
      outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such
      merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in
      substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting
      Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or
      reorganization, and
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      (II) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately
      prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such merger,
      consolidation or reorganization constitute at least two thirds (2/3) of
      the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation. (A
      transaction in which both of clauses (I) and (II) above shall be
      applicable is hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Control Transaction.”);
      or
    

    
      (B) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or
    

    
      (C) An agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or
      substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than
      a transfer to a Subsidiary).
    

    
      Section 4.3. Termination by the Employee. The Employee may terminate his
      employment under this Agreement by giving the Company at least thirty
      (30) days’ prior written notice.
    

    
      Section 4.4. Compensation Upon Termination by the Company for Cause or
      by the Employee without Good Reason. In the event the Company terminates
      the Employee’s employment hereunder for Cause, or if the Employee
      terminates his employment pursuant to Section 4.3, the Company will pay
      to the Employee his accrued base salary through the Termination Date, as
      well as any earned and accrued but unpaid bonus compensation, payable
      within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date.
    

    
      Section 5 Restrictive Covenants.
    

    
      Section 5.1. Acknowledgements. The Employee understands and agrees that,
      by virtue of the Employee’s position with the Company, the Employee will
      have substantial impact on the goodwill and other legitimate business
      interests of the Company and access to ”Confidential Information” and
      “Trade Secrets” (as such terms are defined below) relating to the
      Company and its customers. Employee hereby acknowledges his
      responsibility for building and maintaining business, investor and
      customer relationships for the Company and the Company’s significant
      investment of resources and money in specialized training and
      professional development of the Employee concerning the Company’s unique
      business services, processes and strategies. Accordingly, the Employee
      acknowledges that he will be in a position to have a substantial adverse
      impact on the Company’s business interests should the Employee engage in
      activities in violation of the restrictive covenants of this Section 5.
      The Employee acknowledges that the Company is materially relying upon
      the Employee’s compliance with the terms of this Section 5 and that the
      Employee’s covenants herein are material to the Company’s ongoing
      operations. The Employee further acknowledges that the Employee’s
      adherence to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5 is
      also an important and substantial part of the consideration that the
      Company is receiving under this Agreement and agrees that the term,
      geographic area and scope of the restrictive covenants in this Section 5
      are reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the legitimate business
      interest of the Company and enforceable in all respects. Employee
      further acknowledges and agrees the Employee is capable of obtaining
      gainful, lucrative and desirable employment that does not violate the
      restrictions contained in this Agreement.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      Section 5.2. Prohibited Activities. During the “Restricted Period” (as
      defined below), the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, for the
      Employee’s own account or for or on behalf of any other person or
      entity, whether as an owner, operator, officer, director, employee,
      partner, principal, joint venturer, consultant, investor, shareholder or
      independent contractor:
    

    
      (a) Non-competition. Participate in the ownership or management of, or
      provide services, within a seventy-five (75) mile radius of each
      location in which the Company conducts “Business” (as defined below)
      within the United States on the Effective Date of the Agreement (the
      “Territory”), of substantially the same nature or character as those
      provided to the Company by the Employee to any business that directly or
      indirectly competes with the Company in the Territory with respect to
      multimedia messaging (high-volume actionable communications, including
      e-mail, wireless messaging, voice message delivery, SMS messaging and
      fax) and audio and data conferencing and Web-based collaboration
      services (collectively, the “Business”). Employee acknowledges and
      agrees that in connection with his performance of the duties set forth
      in Section 1, Employee will be performing services in and have overall
      management responsibility, including without limitation management and
      financial reporting responsibility, for each of the Company’s locations.
    

    
      (b) Non-solicitation. Solicit for the purpose of engaging in the
      Business or competing with the Company any (i) customers of the Company
      who were customers of the Company during the one (1) year period
      preceding Employee’s termination and with whom the Employee had material
      contact, or (ii) prospective customers of the Company who, within two
      (2) years prior to Employee’s termination, had been the subject of
      individually targeted solicitation by Company representatives to become
      a customer of the Company and where the Employee supervised and/or
      participated in such solicitation activities. For purposes of this
      Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed to have had “material contact”
      with a customer if: (a) he had business dealings with the customer on
      the Company’s behalf; or (b) he was responsible for supervising or
      coordinating the dealings between the Company and the customer.
    

    
      (c) Non-recruitment. Solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce,
      any of the Company’s employees, agents, consultants, or independent
      contractors to terminate their relationship with the Company or to
      establish a relationship with a competitor of the Company of
      substantially the same nature or character theretofore existing with
      respect to the Company.
    

    
      (d) Non-disparagement. Speak or act in any manner that is intended to,
      or does in fact, damage the goodwill or the business or reputation of
      the Company.
    

    
      For purposes of this Agreement, the Restricted Period will be a period
      beginning on the Effective Date and continuing for a period of one (1)
      year after the termination or expiration of the Employee’s employment
      hereunder, regardless of the reason for such termination or expiration.
      The foregoing notwithstanding, the Employee may own as a passive
      investment less than three percent (3%) of any class of securities
      registered pursuant to the 1934 Act of any corporation engaged in
      competition with the Company pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof so long
      as the Employee does not otherwise (i) participate in the management or
      operation of any such business or (ii) violate any other provision of
      this Agreement.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      Section 5.3. No Interference With Contracts. The Employee
      acknowledges his obligation to abide by applicable state laws
      prohibiting interference with the Company’s contracts with third
      parties, such as improperly seeking to have a third party terminate or
      not renew any contractual relationship with the Company.
    

    
      Section 5.4. Confidentiality and Trade Secrets.
    

    
      (a) The Employee agrees to maintain in strict confidence, and not use or
      disclose to anyone except pursuant to written instructions from the
      Company, any “Trade Secret” of the Company, for so long as the pertinent
      data or information remains a Trade Secret, provided that the obligation
      to protect the confidentiality of any such information or data shall not
      be excused if such information or data ceases to qualify as a Trade
      Secret as a result of the unauthorized acts or omissions of the Employee.
    

    
      (b) The Employee agrees to maintain in strict confidence and, except as
      necessary to perform his duties hereunder, not to use or disclose any
      “Confidential Information” during his
      employment hereunder and for a period of two (2) years thereafter.
    

    
      (c) Upon termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the
      Employee shall not retain or destroy and shall return to the Company any
      and all property and all business records of the Company and its
      customers, including, but not limited to, cell phones, keys, credit and
      identification cards, computers, files, personal items or equipment
      provided to the Employee for his use, together with all written or
      recorded materials, contracts, calendars, telephone lists,
      electronically stored information, documents, computer disks, plans,
      records (including, without limitation, customer records on computer
      drives, computer disks or paper), notes or other materials relating to
      the Company, its business or its customers, including all copies
      thereof, regardless of whether the Employee prepared them himself or
      they were provided to the Employee by the Company or any customer. At
      all times, the items listed above shall remain the property of the
      Company or its customers.
    

    
      (d) The Employee may disclose Trade Secrets or Confidential Information
      pursuant to any order or legal process requiring him (in his legal
      counsel’s reasonable opinion) to do so, provided that the Employee shall
      first have notified the Company in writing of the request or order to so
      disclose the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information in sufficient
      time to allow the Company to seek an appropriate protective order.
    

    
      (e) “Trade Secret” shall mean information that is a trade secret as
      defined under applicable law. In the absence of a definition under
      applicable law, a “Trade Secret” shall mean any information, without
      regard to form, including, but not limited to, technical or
      non-technical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a
      plan, a device, a method, a technique, a drawing, a
      process, financial data, financial plans, product plans, or a list of
      actual or potential customers or suppliers that is not commonly known
      by, or available to, the public and which information (i) derives
      economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to,
      and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons
      who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and (ii) is the
      subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to
      maintain its secrecy.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      (f) “Confidential Information” shall mean any nonpublic information of a
      competitively sensitive nature, other than Trade Secrets, acquired by
      the Employee, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Employee’s
      employment, including (without limitation) oral, written or electronic
      information concerning the Company, its businesses, or its customers,
      suppliers or partners that is not generally known to the public or the
      Company’s competitors and that has value to the Company or its
      customers, including, but not limited to the following: information
      concerning the Company’s financial position and results of operations
      (including, but not limited to, revenues, margins, EBITDA, net income,
      assets, and liabilities); annual and long-range business plans and
      methods; product or service plans; technical information; inventions;
      marketing plans and methods, account invoices; training, educational and
      administrative manuals; customer information, including names,
      addresses, telephone numbers, customer requirements, and purchase
      histories; “Customer Content” (as defined below); and associate lists.
      Confidential Information shall not include any data or information that
      has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company (except
      where such public disclosure has been made by or at the direction of the
      Employee without authorization), that has been independently developed
      and disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain
      through lawful means. “Customer Content” shall mean any nonpublic
      information or content owned by the Company’s customers and disclosed to
      the Company and/or Employee, either directly or through the Company’s
      services, including technical data, financial information, proprietary
      information, business information, or information protected by a
      confidentiality agreement between the Company and its customers.
    

    
      Section 5.5. Remedies. In the event the Employee violates or threatens
      to violate the provisions of this Section 5, the parties acknowledge and
      agree that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy and that the
      Company will be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any other
      remedies or rights available to the Company, and no bond or security
      will be required in connection with such equitable relief.
    

    
      Section 5.6. Counterclaims. The existence of any claim or cause of
      action the Employee may have against the Company will not at any time
      constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the
      restrictions or rights provided by this Section 5, but the failure to
      assert such claim or cause of action shall not be deemed to be a waiver
      of such claim or cause of action.
    

    
      Section 6. Ownership of Employee’s Work
    

    
      Section 6.1. Company Ownership of Inventions, Patents and Copyrights.
      The Employee hereby assigns, releases and transfers to the Company and
      its nominees, successors and assigns the Employee’s entire right, title
      and interest in any idea, invention, improvement, design of useful
      article (whether the design is ornamental or otherwise), computer
      program and related documentation and other work of authorship,
      hereafter made or conceived solely or jointly by the Employee, or
      created wholly or in part by the Employee, whether or not such
      Inventions are patentable, copyrightable or susceptible to other forms
      of protection, where such Inventions (a) relate to the actual or
      anticipated business or research or development of the Company, or (b)
      are suggested by or result from any task assigned to the Employee or
      work performed by the Employee for or on behalf of the Company (all
      hereinafter referred to as “Inventions”); provided that the restrictions
      contained in this Section 6 will not apply to Inventions conceived after
      the termination of the Employee’s employment unless they are conceived
      with the use of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of the Company
      or facilities, property or personnel of the Company. The Employee
      stipulates that any works of authorship prepared by or at the direction
      of the Employee in connection with his employment with the Company shall
      be deemed to be “works made for hire” under the United States copyright
      laws, and owned solely and exclusively by the Company or its nominees,
      successors and assigns.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      Section 6.2. Notice of Inventions and Cooperation. The Employee shall
      promptly disclose in writing to his supervisor any Inventions and shall
      execute specific assignments of title and do anything else reasonably
      necessary to enable the Company to secure, maintain or enforce patent,
      copyright or other forms of protection therefor in the United States and
      in other countries.
    

    
      Section 7. Company. For purposes of Sections 5 and 6, “Company” shall
      include the Company and its affiliated entities.
    

    
      Section 8. Section 409A Compliance.
    

    
      (a)       This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a
      manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or
      provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the
      requirements Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended (the “Code”), and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance
      and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and any applicable
      transition relief under Section 409A of the Code). Nevertheless, the tax
      treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted
      or guaranteed.  Neither the Company nor its directors, officers,
      employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest,
      penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Employee as a result of the
      application of Section 409A of the Code.
    

    
      (b)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to
      the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt
      “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would
      otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the
      Employee’s termination of employment, such amount or benefit will not be
      payable or distributable to the Employee by reason of such circumstance
      unless the circumstances giving rise to such termination of employment
      meet any description or definition of “separation from service” in
      Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving
      effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such
      definition).  This provision does not prohibit the vesting
      or the determination of the amounts owed to him due to such
      termination.  If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of
      any amount or benefit, such payment or distribution shall be made on the
      date, if any, on which an event occurs that constitutes a Section
      409A-compliant “separation from service,” or such later date as may be
      required by subsection (c) below.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      (c)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if
      any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred
      compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise
      be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of the
      Employee’s separation from service during a period in which the Employee
      is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any
      permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg.
      Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii)
      (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes),
      the Employee’s right to receive payment or distribution of such
      non-exempt deferred compensation will be delayed until the earlier of
      (i) a date no later than thirty (30) days after the Employee’s death, or
      (ii) the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the
      Employee’s separation from service.
    

    
      For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Specified Employee” has the
      meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations
      thereunder (“Final 409A Regulations”), provided, however,
      that, as permitted in the Final 409A Regulations, the Company’s
      Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of
      Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with
      rules adopted by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which
      shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred
      compensation arrangements of the Company, including this Agreement.
    

    
      (d)       All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this
      Agreement, including those provided under Sections 2.3 and 2.4, that are
      includible in Employee’s federal gross taxable income shall be made or
      provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the
      Code, including the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for
      expenses incurred during Employee’s lifetime (or during a shorter period
      of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses
      eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided during a calendar
      year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind
      benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the
      reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last
      day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense was
      incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not
      subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
    

    
      Section 9. Compliance With Other Agreements. The Employee represents and
      warrants to the Company that he is free to enter this Agreement and that
      the execution of this Agreement and the performance of his obligations
      under this Agreement will not, as of the date of this Agreement or with
      the passage of time, conflict with, cause a breach of or constitute a
      default under any agreement to which the Employee is a party or may be
      bound.
    

    
      Section 10. Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended
      to be severable. If any provision or portion of a provision is illegal
      or invalid, then the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected.
      Moreover, any provision of this Agreement that is determined to be
      unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy will be modified as
      necessary so that it is not unreasonable, arbitrary or against public
      policy.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      Section 11. Waiver. A waiver by a party to this Agreement of any breach
      of this Agreement by the other party will not operate or be construed as
      a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the same breach on a future
      occasion. No delay or omission by either party to enforce any rights it
      may have under this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver.
    

    
      Section 12. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
      except by a writing signed by both parties.
    

    
      Section 13. Headings. The various headings contained in this Agreement
      are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit
      or extend the scope or intent of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
    

    
      Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
      counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which
      taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.
    

    
      Section 15. Number and Pronouns. Wherever from the context it appears
      appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural will
      include the singular and the plural and pronouns stated in the
      masculine, feminine or neuter gender will include the masculine,
      feminine and neuter genders.
    

    
      Section 16. Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any
      right or interest hereunder shall be assignable by either the Employee
      or the Company without the other party’s prior written consent;
      provided, however, that nothing in this Section 16 shall preclude (i)
      the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefits
      payable hereunder upon his death, or (ii) the executors, administrators
      or other legal representatives of the Employee or his estate from
      assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled
      thereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will be
      binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
      respective legal representatives, administrators, executors, successors
      and assigns.
    

    
      Section 17. Arbitration. Any dispute between the parties shall be
      resolved through binding arbitration conducted by the American
      Arbitration Association under the rules then in effect. The parties
      agree that any arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in Atlanta,
      Georgia and hereby consent to jurisdiction and venue there. The
      predominately nonprevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator(s),
      shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of the
      predominately prevailing party in any such arbitration or resulting
      litigation. If the Employee is awarded the right to recover attorneys’
      fees and other expenses under this Section 17, the reimbursement of an
      eligible expense shall be made within ten (10) business days after
      delivery of the Employee’s respective written requests for payment
      accompanied with such evidence of attorneys’ fees and other expenses
      incurred as the Company reasonably may require, but in no event later
      than March 15 of the year following the year in which such rights are
      established.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          


        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
      Section 18. Entire Agreement. With respect to its subject matter, this
      Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties
      superseding all prior agreements (including without limitation, the
      Offer Letter and any Nondisclosure, Nonsolicitation & Inventions
      Agreement), understandings, negotiations and discussions between them,
      whether written or oral, and there are no other understandings,
      representations, warranties or commitments with respect thereto except
      as embodied herein.
    

    
      Section 19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
      interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of
      Georgia without reference to conflicts of law.

      permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
      to have been duly given and delivered when delivered in person, two (2)
