provisions of Section 9(c) (280G gross-up provisions), Section 15           (Expenses and

under Section 1 of this Agreement is made. For each subsequent           calendar year,
the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) or distribute (or           cause to be
distributed) to or for the benefit of the Executive such additional           amounts
then due as required by Section 9(c) of the KEESA on March 15th (or as           soon as
practicable thereafter) of the following calendar year. Notwithstanding           the
foregoing, the gross-up provisions of Section 9(c) of the KEESA shall be
          modified as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.  




        3.     Representations
and Adjustments.  




	 	        a.    Representations
and Warranties. As an inducement to enter into this           Agreement, the
Executive makes the following representations and warranties to           the Company and
to Certified:  







	 	        i.              The
amount of taxable income received by the Executive from the Company and
          reported by the Company to the Executive on box 1 of Form W-2 was $9,615 and
          $364,096 for calendar years 2003 and 2004, respectively and such amounts were
          true and accurate.  







	 	        ii.              The
amount of taxable income the Executive expects the Company to report to him           on
box 1 of Form W-2 is $389,096 for calendar year 2005.  







	 	        iii.              The
start of the Executive’s employment with the Company was December 15,
          2003.  








2 









	 	        iv.    
         The Executive is unaware of the existence of any facts or circumstances that
          cause him to believe that he will receive an “excess parachute
          payment” (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.280G-1, Q&A 3) from the
          Company.  







	 	        b.    Violation
of Representations and Warranties. In the event the amounts of           income
includable in the gross compensation of the Executive are less than the           amounts
reported in Sections 3(a)(i) and 3(a)(ii), then this Section 3(b) shall           apply.  







	 	        i.              If
the Representations and Warranties set forth in Section 3(a) above are found
          not to be true and correct representations of the Executive’s
          “includable compensation” for purposes of Internal Revenue Code
          Section 280G on or before the Effective Time, then the payment made pursuant to
          Section 1(b) shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent of
such           shortfall . If the Representations and Warranties set forth in Section
3(a)           above are found not to be true and correct representations of the
          Executive’s “includable compensation” for purposes of Internal
          Revenue Code Section 280G after the Effective Time, then the Executive shall
          return the amount of such shortfall to the Company from the payment made
          pursuant to Section 1(b).  







	 	        ii.              The
Company shall not be obligated to provide a gross-up payment pursuant to
          Section 9(c) of the KEESA if such gross-up is attributable to the inaccuracy of
          any representation made in Section 3(a) of this Agreement.  







	 	        c.     Excess
Parachute Payment Due to Payment of KEESA in 2005. If upon           subsequent
audit, the payment made pursuant to Section 1(a) causes that payment           together
with the payment made pursuant to Section 1(b) to result in an           “excess
parachute payment” that would not otherwise result if the           amount specified
in Section 1(a) were paid upon the Effective Time, then the           Executive shall
repay the amount from the amount paid pursuant to Section 1(b),           if any, that
causes the Executive to avoid the excise tax imposed by Section           4999 of the
Code imposed as a result of the payment of the amount specified in           Section 1(a)
in 2005 instead of at the Effective Time. The Company shall not be           obligated to
provide a gross-up payment pursuant to Section 9(c) of the KEESA if           such
gross-up is attributable to the payment of the amount specified in Section           1(a)
in 2005 instead of at the Effective Time.  







	 	        d.     Change
in Law. In the event of amendment of Section 280G of the Internal           Revenue
Code between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the           payment in
Section 1(b) shall be adjusted downward to the minimum amount           necessary to
avoid the imposition of an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code           Section 4999,
or a reduction of its income tax deduction pursuant to Section           280G for an
“excess parachute payment” (or any equivalent term under           successor
law).  







        4.    Compensation
in the Ordinary Course of Business. The Executive will not           accept payment
from the Company in 2005 other than (i) the payment s for           services actually
rendered to the Company in timing and amount consistent with           past practices,
and (ii) the payment(s) provided under this Agreement. If the           Executive accepts
such compensation and as a result receives an “excess           parachute payment,” the
Company shall not be obligated to provide an excise           tax gross-up payment
pursuant to Section 9(c) of the KEESA.  





3 









        5.    Affiliated
Group. For purposes of Sections 1, 3 and 4 of this Agreement,           the term
“Company” shall include any member of its affiliated group,           as
determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.280G-1, Q&A 46.  




        6.    Successors.
Upon the Effective Time, the term “Company” as used           in this Agreement
shall mean Certified. If, after the Effective Time, the           Company sells, assigns
or transfers all or substantially all of its business and           assets to any person,
or if the Company merges into or consolidates or otherwise           combines with any
person, then the Company shall assign all of its right, title           and interest in
this Agreement as of the date of such event to such person, and           the term “Company” shall
thereafter mean such person. This Agreement           and all rights of the Executive
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable           by the Executive’s
personal or legal representatives, executors,           administrators, heirs and
beneficiaries.  




        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first
written above.
