the Employment Agreement. The Executive represents and agrees that the Company has never breached

Section 4. Salary; Vacation; Expenses; Other. The Executive agrees that the
Company and/or the appropriate subsidiary or affiliate of the Company have paid in full to the
Executive all salary, vacation and incentive, performance and conditional compensation and all
other compensation and amounts to which he is entitled in connection with all of his services as an
officer and employee of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether pursuant
to his Employment Agreement or otherwise, through and including the Company’s last payroll date
preceding the date of this Agreement and that he shall not be entitled to any additional salary,
compensation or other amounts from the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
following the date of this Agreement, (a) other than his normal salary from such last payroll date
until the Effective Time, which shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s usual and customary
payroll practices (including, but not limited to, withholding for taxes and deductions for certain
costs of employee benefits), and (b) payment for twenty (20) days of accrued but unused vacation
relating to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 and all prior years, for which the Executive

of this Agreement, except for the expense report submitted by the Executive on the date hereof. In
the event that a request for expense reimbursement has not been made by the Executive on or prior
to the date of this Agreement, the Executive shall submit such request to the Company on or before
the Effective Time in a manner consistent with the Company’s policies and procedures, and the
Executive represents and agrees that each such request shall represent previously unreimbursed
business expenses incurred by him in the ordinary and usual course of the Company’s business. The
Company shall promptly reimburse the Executive for such expenses in accordance with its policies
and procedures on business expense reimbursement.

Section 5. Status of Employee Benefit Plans.

(i) all benefits of the Executive that are fully vested under the Company’s Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and the Company’s Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”) shall be paid to the
Executive in accordance with the terms of such plans, (ii) the single lump sum of $206,143.00
shall be paid to the Executive on January 2, 2009 under the Supplemental Retirement Plan, and (iii)
in the event the Executive elects coverage for himself and/or his spouse and legal dependent under

benefits, payments, rights, claims and interests in and under all plans, programs, arrangements and

(b) Automobile Allowance. The Company shall cease paying any automobile allowance to
the Executive following the Effective Time.

(c) Retirement Status. The Executive understands and agrees that he has not satisfied
the requirements for retirement or early retirement under any of the plans, programs, arrangements
or policies referenced in Section 5(a) above.

Section 6. Payments During Notice Period and Severance Payments. So long as
the Executive has executed and not revoked the Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit
A, the Company shall accrue and pay to the Executive the following in accordance with this
Section 6: (a) the Executive’s current base salary (calculated as a monthly sum) in the same amount
as is now paid to the Executive on each payroll date ($11,666.67) for the 90-day period beginning
on the day following the Effective Time and ending on April 15, 2009, which is the equivalent of
the 90-day prior notice period under the Employment Agreement for a termination by the Executive of
his employment without Good Reason and which the Company has waived in Section 3 of this Agreement
(the “Notice Payments”), and (b) the Executive’s current base salary (calculated as a monthly sum)
in the same amount as is now paid to the Executive on each payroll date ($11,666.67) for the
three-month period beginning on April 15, 2009 and ending on July 15, 2009 (the “Severance
Payments”). The amounts of the Notice Payments and the Severance Payments are payable in
accordance with the Employment Agreement for a termination of employment by the Executive without
Good Reason. Neither the Notice Payments nor the Severance Payments shall be included in the
Executive’s compensation for purposes of the ESOP and the 401(k) Plan.

From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time and during the period that the
Executive is receiving the Notice Payments and the Severance Payments, the Executive shall (i) not
report to work unless requested to do so by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and (ii)
perform transition services consistent with his current duties and responsibilities as may be
requested by the Chief Executive Officer at one of the Company’s offices or at his residence (at
the discretion of the Company) during normal business hours but not to exceed eighty (80) hours per
month. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all out-of-pocket travel and other expenses
incurred by the Executive in connection with such services in accordance with the Company’s
business travel expense reimbursement policy. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall
approve in advance all such travel and other expenses. The Company acknowledges that, if the
Executive is employed or obligated under a third-party arrangement during the period which
Severance Payments are being paid, the Executive’s services under this Section 6 may be limited to
times outside normal business hours.

The Executive agrees that the Company’s obligation to pay the Notice Payments and the
Severance Payments under this Agreement (even if reduced or terminated as described below)
constitute
full satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s obligations for payment to him of base salary
and severance under the Employment Agreement during any prior notice period and any severance
period. The Executive further agrees that the Company’s obligation to pay the Notice Payments and
Severance Payments under this Agreement (even if reduced or terminated as described below)
constitute adequate consideration for his covenants and agreements set forth in the Release of
Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A and in Section 6 (Non-Disclosure, etc.), Section 7
(Non-Competition), Section 8 (Non-Solicitation) and Section 9 (Intellectual Property) of the
Employment Agreement, which covenants and agreements the Executive hereby ratifies and confirms,
and agrees are applicable to him in accordance with their terms as set forth in the Employment
Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 to the contrary, the payment to the
Executive of the Notice Payments and the Severance Payments shall be suspended for a six (6) month
period following the Effective Time to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, if the Executive is determined to be a Specified Employee
(as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h)) at the Effective Time, then on July 15, 2009, the
Executive shall receive, in a single lump sum, a payment equal to $140,000.04, which equals the
aggregate of the Notice Payments and the Severance Payments that have been suspended as set forth
above. The Company shall deduct all required taxes and withholdings from such lump sum payment.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 to the contrary, the
lump sum amount of the Notice Payments and the Severance Payments payable in accordance with the
preceding paragraph shall (i) not be paid to the Executive if the Executive breaches any of the
provisions of this Agreement (or the Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A) or any
of the sections of the Employment Agreement that are applicable following the Effective Time, and
(ii) be subject to reduction or termination in the same manner provided in Section 5(f) of the
Employment Agreement.

Section 7. Awards Under Plans. All outstanding cash, stock option, stock or
equity-based and other awards (whether or not vested or earned) that have been granted to the
Executive, and all rights to any future awards or payments, under the 2007 Incentive Plan
(including the short term incentive program or opportunities and the long term incentive program or
opportunities under the 2007 Incentive Plan), the Company’s Short Term Executive Incentive Plan (as
amended and restated effective January 1, 2002), the Company’s Long Term Executive Incentive Plan
(as amended and restated effective January 1, 2002), the 1992 Stock Option Plan (as amended and
restated through March 15, 2002) and any other plan, program, arrangement or policy of the Company
are hereby terminated and forfeited as of the date of this Agreement, and the Executive hereby
forever releases, waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims and interests in and to such
awards. All award agreements between the Company and the Executive relating to any awards under
any such plan are hereby terminated as of the date of this Agreement.

The Executive understands and agrees that the awards of options to acquire shares of common
stock of the Company identified in the Company’s proxy statement dated April 9, 2008 are the only
outstanding awards to the Executive relating to stock options, restricted stock and all other stock
or equity based compensation, all of which awards are forfeited and terminated as provided in the
preceding paragraph.

The Executive further understands and agrees that he is not entitled to any payment or vesting
for, and has not earned and will not earn, any bonus (discretionary or otherwise) or any other
incentive, performance or conditional compensation (whether cash, options, restricted stock, or
stock or equity-based) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

Section 8. Consulting Services. During the six (6) month period beginning on
July 16, 2009 and ending on January 15, 2010 (the “Consulting Period”), the Executive shall serve
as a consultant to the Company. During the Consulting Period, the Executive shall provide
consulting services on financial, accounting and general business matters relating to the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at one of the Company’s offices or at his residence (at
the discretion of the Company) during normal business hours as may be requested by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The Company acknowledges that, if the Executive is employed or
obligated under a third-party arrangement during the Consulting Period, the Executive’s services
under this Section 8 may be limited to times outside normal business hours.

The Company shall pay the Executive a fee of $1,500 per day for each day that he provides
consulting services during the Consulting Period (with a minimum of four (4) days of consulting
services per month) and shall reimburse the Executive for all out-of-pocket travel and other
expenses incurred in connection with such services in accordance with the Company’s business travel
expense reimbursement policy. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall approve in advance
all such travel and other expenses. The Company and the Executive shall mutually agree, in advance
of the Executive providing any consulting services hereunder, to the number of days and timing that
each request for such services shall require. The Executive shall make himself available to
provide consulting services hereunder upon short notice by the Company. In the event that the
Executive does not provide at least four (4) days of consulting services during a particular month,
and such failure is due to the Executive being unavailable to provide such services when needed by
the Company, then the Company shall only pay the Executive for the actual number of days on which
the Executive provided consulting services during that month.

All consulting services provided by the Executive under this Agreement shall be performed by
him as an independent contractor, and not as a director, officer, employee, agent or representative
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition, the Executive understands
and agrees that, during the six (6) month Consulting Period, he shall not participate in any
employee benefit, retirement, incentive compensation, profit sharing or any other plans or programs
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

The Executive further understands and agrees that (a) he shall be solely responsible for any
and all taxes due and owing on the Severance Payments and all consulting fees paid to him under
this Agreement, including, but not limited to, income, FICA and self-employment taxes, (b) the
Company shall issue a Form 1099 to the Executive, and shall not withhold any taxes for, the
Severance Payments and all consulting fees paid to him under this Agreement, and (c) following the
Effective Time, he shall not have, nor will he hold himself out as having, any right, power or
authority to bind (or to create any contract, commitment or obligation for, in the name of or on
behalf of) the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Section 9. Certain Other Matters.

(a) Compliance with Law. The Executive understands and agrees that he has ongoing
responsibilities under and shall comply with the federal securities laws and other applicable laws

data assistants, BlackBerries, credit cards, keys, access cards, passwords and other property of
the Company
that are still in the Executive’s possession or control as of the Effective Time or the
location of which the Executive knows, and the Executive shall cease using any of the foregoing on
and after the Effective Time.

(c) Non-Disparagement. The Executive shall not publicly disparage or make or publish
any negative statements or comments about the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any of their
respective products or strategies or any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
managers, representatives or agents. Subject to applicable law, no executive officer of the
Company or member of the Company’s Board of Directors shall publicly disparage or make or publish
any negative statements or comments about the Executive.

(d) Cooperation. For a period of two (2) years following the end of the Consulting
Period, upon the request of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, the Executive
shall cooperate and make himself reasonably available at appropriate times and places determined by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with any claim, demand, action,
suit, proceeding, examination, investigation or litigation (regulatory or otherwise) by, against or
affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The Company acknowledges that, if
the Executive is employed or obligated under a third-party arrangement during such two (2) year
period, the Executive’s services under this Section 9(d) may be limited to times outside normal
business hours. The Company or the appropriate subsidiary or affiliate shall pay the Executive a
fee of $1,500 per day in connection with such services and shall reimburse the Executive for his
reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing that are
approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company and the Executive shall
mutually agree, in advance of the Executive providing any services hereunder, to the number of days
and timing that each request for such services shall require.

(e) No Assignment. The Executive represents and agrees that he has not made and shall
not make any assignment or other transfer of any interest in any claim, right, demand or action
which he had, has or may have against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or
against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, managers, fiduciaries,
administrators, representatives or agents.
