Financial Officer of UnionTools, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Employment Agreement. Executive hereby represents

Agreement nor Executive’s performance of Executive’s
obligations hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any other agreement or obligation of
any nature to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is
bound, including, without limitation, any development agreement,

Responsibilities.    Executive shall report to and be
subject to the direction of the Chief Financial Officer of Ames and the
Senior Executive Vice President of Business Development of Ames.
Executive shall perform and discharge such duties and responsibilities
for the Company as the 

1

Chief Financial Officer of Ames and Senior
Executive Vice President of Business Development of Ames may from time
to time reasonably assign Executive. Executive understands and
acknowledges that such duties shall be subject to revision and
modification by the Chief Financial Officer of Ames, Senior Executive
Vice President of Business Development of Ames, and/or the Board of
Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) of the Company or
CHATT Holdings LLC, as appropriate, upon reasonable notice to
Executive. During the Employment Period, Executive shall devote
Executive’s full business time, attention, skill and efforts to
the faithful performance of Executive’s duties herein, and shall
perform the duties and carry out the responsibilities assigned to
Executive, to the best of Executive’s ability, in a diligent,
trustworthy and businesslike manner for the purpose of advancing the
Company. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s duties and
responsibilities will require Executive’s full-time business
efforts and agrees that during the Employment Period, Executive will
not engage in any outside business activities that conflict with
Executive’s obligations under this Employment Agreement.

4.    Compensation.    During the Employment
Period, UnionTools shall pay to Executive a base salary at the
annualized rate of $250,000 per year (the ‘‘Base
Salary’’), less applicable tax withholding, payable at
UnionTools’ regular employee payroll intervals.

5.    Benefit Plans and Perquisites.     During
the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to receive employee
benefits comparable to those benefits provided to other officers of
UnionTools, subject to any applicable waiting periods, eligibility
requirements, or other restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Executive shall receive, for the period of employment of Executive by
Acorn prior to the Closing Date, service credit under the
Company’s employee benefit plans and arrangements for purposes of
eligibility and vesting, and the Company shall waive any applicable
waiting periods, pre-existing conditions or actively-at-work

coverages or benefit plans for deductibles, co-payments and
out-of-pocket payments that have been paid by Executive to Acorn during
the period from January 1, 2006 to the Closing Date, in each case to
the extent permitted to do so under the Company’s benefit plans
and arrangements. The Company may, at any time or from time to time,
amend, modify, suspend or terminate any benefit plan or program
contemplated hereunder in this Section 5 for any reason and without
Executive’s prior written consent; provided that such amendment,
modification, suspension or termination does not disproportionately
impact Executive as compared to the other participants under such plan
or program. In addition to the foregoing benefits, Executive shall be
entitled to reimbursement for country club dues on a monthly basis, up
to $500 per month until his employment is terminated pursuant to
Section 9 hereof.

6.    Business
Expenses.     The Company, in accordance with the policies
and practices established by the Board from time to time, will pay or
reimburse Executive for all expenses (including travel, blackberry and
cell phone expenses) reasonably incurred by Executive during the
Employment Period in connection with the performance of
Executive’s duties under this Employment Agreement, provided that
Executive shall provide to the Company documentation or evidence of
expenses for which Executive seeks reimbursement in accordance with the
policies and procedures established by the Board or the Company from
time to time.

7.    Vacation.     During the
Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to fifteen (15) days of
paid vacation. Executive shall make good faith efforts to schedule
vacations so as to least conflict with the conduct of the
Company’s business and will give the Company adequate advance
notice of Executive’s planned absences.

8.    Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreement.     As of the date hereof,
Executive shall have entered into a confidentiality, inventions,
non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the
‘‘Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreement’’).

9.    Termination.    

(a)    Death.    The Employment Period will terminate
immediately upon the death of Executive. If the Employment Period is
terminated pursuant to this Section 9(a), the Company shall have no
further obligation to Executive (or Executive’s estate) except
for salary and benefits accrued through the date of termination (the
‘‘Accrued Benefits’’).

2

(b)    Due Cause.    The
Company may immediately terminate the Employee’s employment, for
‘‘Due Cause’’ (as defined below) upon written
notice by the Company to Executive identifying the act or acts
constituting Due Cause. The following constitutes the exclusive list of
events that will provide the Company with a basis to terminate
Executive’s employment with the Company for Due Cause:

(i)    Executive’s material breach of any
of Executive’s obligations under the Confidentiality, Inventions,
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, this Employment
Agreement, or any other written agreement with the Company or any of
its Affiliates; or

(ii)    Executive’s
continued and deliberate neglect of, willful misconduct in connection
with the performance of, or refusal to perform Executive’s duties
in accordance with Section 3 of this Employment Agreement, which, in
the case of neglect or refusal to perform, has not been cured within
thirty (30) days after Executive has been provided notice of the same;
or

(iii)    Executive’s engagement in
any conduct which injures the integrity, character, financial position
or financial performance of the business or reputation of the Company
or any of its Affiliates or which impugns Executive’s own
integrity, character or reputation so as to cause Executive to be unfit
to act in the capacity of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
UnionTools; or

(iv)    the Ames
Board’s good faith determination that Executive has committed an
act or acts constituting a felony, or other act involving dishonesty,
disloyalty or fraud against the Company or any of its Affiliates.

If the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to this
Section 9(b), the Company shall have no further obligation to Executive
except for the Accrued Benefits.

(c)    Permanent
Disability.    The Company may immediately terminate the
Employment Period upon the Permanent Disability (as defined below) of
Executive. If the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to this
Section 9(c), then Executive will be entitled to receive the Accrued
Benefits and such benefits, if any, as may be provided Executive
pursuant to the Company’s disability insurance policy. For
purposes of this Employment Agreement, the term ‘‘Permanent
Disability’’ shall mean that Executive is unable to
perform, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of
physical or mental incapacity, the essential functions of
Executive’s position for one hundred fifty (150) or more days in
any one hundred eighty (180) day period. The Board shall determine,
according to the facts then available, whether and when a Permanent
Disability has occurred. Such determination shall not be arbitrary or
unreasonable.

(d)    Termination by the Company without
Due Cause.    The Company may terminate Executive’s
employment with UnionTools prior to the end of the Employment Period
without Due Cause upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. If
the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to this Section 9(d) by
the Company without Due Cause (other than by reason of death or
Permanent Disability), then Executive will be entitled to receive (i)
the Accrued Benefits and (ii) a severance amount equal to $840,000 (the
‘‘Severance Payment’’), payable in twelve (12)
monthly installments.

(e)    Voluntary Resignation by
Executive.    Executive may terminate his employment with
UnionTools at any time prior to the end of the Employment Period for
any reason upon thirty (30)  days’ prior written notice. If
Executive terminates his employment with UnionTools without
‘‘Good Reason’’ (as defined below), the Company
shall have no further obligation to Executive except for the Accrued
Benefits. If Executive terminates his employment with the Company for
Good Reason, then Executive will be entitled to receive (i) the Accrued
Benefits and (ii) the Severance Payment payable in twelve (12) monthly
installments. ‘‘Good Reason’’ means, without
the consent of Executive, any material breach of this Employment
Agreement by the Company (including, but not limited to, any decrease
in the Base Salary or relocation of Executive’s place of
employment to a location that is greater than fifty (50) miles from the
Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area); provided, that the Company shall
have thirty (30) days following Executive’s written notice of his
intention to terminate his employment to cure the circumstances
constituting Good Reason. Good Reason shall not include acts taken by
the Company (including but not limited to suspension of employment) as
a 

3

result of the Company’s reasonable
belief that grounds for termination of employment for Cause exist,
provided that such acts shall constitute Good Reason to the extent such
acts continue for greater than thirty (30) days.

(f)    End of the Employment Period.    If Executive
remains employed with UnionTools through the end of the Employment
Period (resulting in a date of termination of employment with
UnionTools of November 30, 2006), he will be entitled to receive (i)
the Accrued Benefits and (ii) the Severance Payment, payable in twelve
(12) monthly installments.

(g)    Parachute
Payments.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
9, in the event the Company determines, based upon the advice of the
independent public accountants for the Company, that part or all of the
consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to Executive under
this Agreement constitute ‘‘parachute
payments’’ under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, then, if the value of such parachute payments
for 280G purposes, singularly or together with the aggregate value of
any consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to Executive
under any other plan, arrangement or agreement which constitute
‘‘parachute payments’’ (collectively, the
‘‘Parachute Amount’’) exceeds 2.99 times the
Executive’s ‘‘base amount,’’ as defined
in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code (the ‘‘Executive Base
Amount’’), the amounts constituting ‘‘parachute
payments’’ which would otherwise be payable to or for the
benefit of Executive shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that
the Parachute Amount is equal to 2.99  times the Executive Base
Amount (the ‘‘Reduced Amount’’). In the event
of a reduction of the payments that would otherwise be paid to
Executive, except for the application of this Section 9(g), then the
Company may elect which and how much of any particular entitlement
shall be eliminated or reduced and shall notify Executive promptly of
such election; provided, however that the aggregate reduction shall be
no more than as set forth in the preceding sentence of this Section
9(g). Within ten (10) days following such election, the Company shall
pay to Executive such amounts as are then due under this Agreement and
shall pay to Executive in the future such amounts as become due under
this Agreement. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Section 280G of the Code at the time of a determination hereunder, it
is possible that payments will be made by the Company which should not
have been made (‘‘Overpayment’’) or that
additional payments which are not made by the Company pursuant to this
Section 9(g) should have been made
(‘‘Underpayment’’). In the event of a final
determination by the Internal Revenue Service, or a final determination
by a court of competent jurisdiction, that an Overpayment has been
made, any such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan
to Executive which Executive shall repay to the Company together with
interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2) of the Code. In the event of a final determination by the
Internal Revenue Service, a final determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a change in the provisions of the Code or regulations
pursuant to which an Underpayment arises under this Agreement, any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the
benefit of Executive, together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided for in Section  7872(f)(2) of the Code.

(h)    General Release.    The receipt of any Severance
Payment as set forth in this Sections 9 shall be contingent upon
Executive’s execution of a general release of all claims against
the Company and its Affiliates (as defined below), substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B. For purposes of this Employment
Agreement, the term ‘‘Affiliates’’ means all
persons or entities that directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, the Company, all companies or entities in which the Company owns
an equity interest, and all predecessors, successors and assigns of
such affiliates.

(i)    Breach of Covenants.    In
the event of a breach by Executive of any of the provisions in the
Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation
Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments set forth in
Section 9 hereof, except as required by law, and the Company will have
no obligation to pay any of the amounts that remain payable by the
Company under Section  9.

(j)    No
Reduction.    Executive shall not be required to mitigate
damages or the amount of any payment provided under this Section 9 by
seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the 

4

amount of any payment provided under this
Section 9 be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the
result of employment by another employer after the date of termination
or otherwise.

(k)    Survival.    Termination of the
Employment Period in accordance with this Section 9, or expiration of
the Employment Period, will not affect the provisions of this
Employment Agreement that survive such termination, including without
limitation, the provisions in the Confidentiality, Inventions,
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement and will not limit any
Party’s ability to pursue remedies at law or equity.

10.    Attorney’s Fees.     If any Party
prevails in a legal action to enforce or protect its rights under this
Employment Agreement, then that Party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, in addition to
all other relief, including but not limited to damages and injunctive
relief.

11.    Executive Assistance.    
Both during the Employment Period and for two (2) years after the end
of the Employment Period, Executive shall, upon reasonable notice,
furnish the Company with such information as may be in
Executive’s possession or control, and cooperate with the
Company, as the Company may reasonably request (with due consideration
to Executive’s business activities and obligations after the
Employment Period), in connection with any litigation, claim, or other
dispute in which the Company or any of its Affiliates is or may become
a party. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive in fulfilling
Executive’s obligations under this Section 11. In addition, to
the extent that Executive provides such assistance at any time after
six (6) months from the date that Executive’s employment with the
Company has terminated, and Executive is required to be absent from
employment for one (1) or more days in order to provide such
assistance, the Company shall pay the Executive for each such day an
amount equal to the daily rate of the Executive’s Base Salary as
in effect as of the date of termination.

12.    Effect
of Prior Agreements.     This Employment Agreement and the
Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation
Agreement contain the entire understanding among the Company and
Executive relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior
agreements, arrangements, and understandings between Executive and the
Company relating to the subject matter hereof, including but not
limited to, the Prior Employment Agreement and the 1999 Severance
Agreement.

13.    Modification and
Waiver.     This Employment Agreement may not be modified or
amended, nor may any provisions of this Employment Agreement be waived,
except by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties. No written
waiver will be deemed to be a continuing waiver unless specifically
stated therein, and each such waiver will operate only as to the
specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived.

14.    Severability.     If, for any reason, any
provision of this Employment Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity
will not affect any other provision of this Employment Agreement, and
each provision will to the full extent consistent with law continue in
full force and effect. If any provision of this Employment Agreement is
held invalid in part, such invalidity will in no way affect the rest of
such provision, and the rest of such provision, together with all other
provisions of this Employment Agreement, will, to the full extent
consistent with law, continue in full force and effect.

15.    Notices.     Any notice, consent, waiver
and other communications required or permitted pursuant to the
provisions of this Employment Agreement must be in writing and will be
deemed to have been properly given (a) when delivered by hand; (b) when
sent by telecopier (with acknowledgment of complete transmission),
provided that a copy is mailed by U.S. certified mail, return receipt
requested; (c) three (3) days after sent by certified mail, return

Exhibit
A

CONFIDENTIALITY, INVENTIONS,
NON-COMPETITION
AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

This Confidentiality,
Inventions, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the
‘‘Agreement’’) is entered into this 7th day of
April, 2006 by and between Acorn Products, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, its successors or assigns (the
‘‘Company’’), UnionTools, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Acorn
(‘‘UnionTools’’), and  John  G.
Jacob (the ‘‘Executive,’’ and together with the
Company and UnionTools, the ‘‘Parties’’). This
Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties hereto
concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter hereof. In
consideration of the continued employment by UnionTools of the
Executive pursuant to the Employment Agreement by and among the
Executive, the Company, and UnionTools, dated April 7, 2006 (the
‘‘Employment Agreement’’), which Executive
acknowledges to be good and valuable consideration for the
Executive’s obligations hereunder, the Company and Executive
agree as follows:

1.    The Business.

The Executive acknowledges that the Company and the
Affiliates (as defined in Section 2(b) below) are engaged in the
business of (i) manufacturing, marketing and distributing long-handled
tools, wheelbarrows, hose reels, striking tools, pruning implements,
pots and planters, snow tools, lawn carts, repair handles, garden
hoses, and decorative accessories for the lawn and garden, and (ii)
conducting such other activities as are undertaken (or are, to the
knowledge of the Executive, proposed or contemplated to be undertaken)
from time to time by the Company and each of the Affiliates during the
term of Executive’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate
as a result of future acquisitions or otherwise (collectively, the
‘‘Business’’).

2.    Confidential Information.

			
		(a) 	The Executive acknowledges that the Confidential
Information (as defined below) constitutes a protectible business
interest of the Company and the Affiliates, and covenants and agrees
that at all times during the period of the Executive’s employment
with UnionTools, and at all times after termination of such employment,
the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, furnish, make
available or utilize any Confidential Information other than in the
course of performing duties as an employee of UnionTools and/or the
Affiliates. The Executive will abide by Company policies and rules as
may be established from time to time by it for the protection of its
Confidential Information. The Executive agrees that in the course of
employment with UnionTools, the Executive will not bring to the
Company’s offices or use, disclose to the Company, or induce the
Company to use, any confidential information or documents belonging to
others if such use or disclosure would violate any confidentiality or
non-disclosure agreement to which Executive is subject. The
Executive’s obligations under this Section 2(a) with respect to
Confidential Information will survive the termination of the
Executive’s employment with UnionTools, and will terminate only
at such time (if any) as the Confidential Information in question
becomes generally known to the public other than through a breach of
the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.

			
		(b) 	As used in this Agreement, the term
‘‘Confidential Information’’ means any and all
confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, whether
disclosed, directly or indirectly, verbally, in writing or by any other
means in tangible or intangible form, including that which is conceived
or developed by the Executive, applicable to or in any way related to:
(i) the business of the Company or any of the Affiliates (as defined
below) as then conducted or, to the knowledge of the Executive,
proposed to be conducted; (ii) the research and development of the
Company or any of the Affiliates; or (iii) the business of any client,
vendor, supplier or distributor of the Company or any of 

A-1

			
		 	
the Affiliates. Such Confidential Information
includes the following property or information of the Company and the
Affiliates, by way of example and without limitation, trade secrets,
processes, formulas, data, program documentation, customer lists,
designs, drawings, algorithms, source code, object code, know-how,
improvements, inventions, licenses, techniques, all plans or strategies
for marketing, development and pricing, business plans, financial
statements, profit margins and all information concerning existing or
potential clients, suppliers or vendors. Confidential Information also
means all similar information disclosed to the Company or any of the
Affiliates by third parties which is subject to confidentiality
obligations. The term ‘‘Affiliates’’ means (i)
CHATT Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries and (ii) all predecessors,
successors and assigns of the those Affiliates identified in (i).

3.    Return of Materials.

disks or other materials, including all copies, in the
Executive’s possession or control which contain Confidential
Information or any other information concerning the Company, any of the
Affiliates or any of their respective products, services or clients,
whether prepared by the Executive or others. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Executive shall be entitled to retain the
Executive’s personal effects provided any Confidential
Information is removed therefrom.

4.    Inventions
as Sole Property of the Company.

			
		(a) 	The Executive covenants and agrees that all
Inventions (as defined below) shall be the sole and exclusive property
of the Company.

			
		(b) 	As used in this Agreement,

inventions, developments, discoveries, improvements, works of
authorship, concepts or ideas, or expressions thereof, whether or not
subject to patents, copyright, trademark, trade secret protection or
other intellectual property right protection (in the United States or
elsewhere), and whether or not reduced to practice, which are conceived
or developed by the Executive while employed with UnionTools or within
one (1) year following termination of such employment which relate to
or result from the actual or anticipated business, work, research or
investigation of the Company or any of the Affiliates or which are
suggested by or result from any task assigned to or performed by the
Executive for the Company or any of the Affiliates.

			
		(c) 	The Executive acknowledges that all original
works of authorship which are made by the Executive (solely or jointly)
are works made for hire under the United States Copyright Act (17
U.S.C., et seq.).

			
		(d) 	The
Executive agrees to promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions,
all original works of authorship and all work product relating thereto.
This disclosure will include complete and accurate copies of all source
code, object code or machine-readable copies, documentation, work
notes, flow-charts, diagrams, test data, reports, samples and other
tangible evidence or results (collectively, ‘‘Tangible
Embodiments’’) of such Inventions, works of authorship and
work product. All Tangible Embodiments of any Invention, work of
authorship or work product related thereto will be deemed to have been
assigned to the Company as a result of the act of expressing any
Invention or work of authorship therein.

			
		(e) 	The
Executive hereby assigns to the Company (together with the right to
prosecute or sue for infringements or other violations of the same) the
entire worldwide right, title and interest to any such Inventions or
works made for hire, and the Executive agrees to perform, during and
after employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company
to permit and assist it, at the Company’s expense, in
registering, recording, obtaining, maintaining, defending, enforcing
and assigning Inventions or works made for 

A-2

			
		 	
hire in any and all countries. The Executive
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly
authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agents and
attorneys-in-fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf and
instead of the Executive, to execute and file any documents and to do
all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with
the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive; this
designation and appointment constitutes an irrevocable power of
attorney and is coupled with an interest.

			
		(f) 	Without limiting the generality of any other
provision of this Section 4, the Executive hereby authorizes the
Company and each of the Affiliates (and their respective successors) to
make any desired changes to any part of any Invention, to combine it
with other materials in any manner desired, and to withhold the
Executive’s identity in connection with any distribution or use
thereof alone or in combination with other materials.

			
		(g) 	This Agreement does not apply to any invention
for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information
of the Company or any Affiliate was used and which was developed
entirely on the Executive’s own time, unless (1) the invention
relates (a)  to the business of the Company or any Affiliate or
(b) to the Company’s or any Affiliate’s actual demonstrably
anticipated research or development of which Executive was aware during
the term of Executive’s employment with the Company or any
Affiliate; or (2) the invention results from any work performed by the
Executive for the Company or any Affiliate.

			
		(h) 	The obligations of the Executive set forth in
this Section 4 (including, but not limited to, the assignment
obligations) will continue beyond the termination of the
Executive’s employment with respect to Inventions conceived or
made by the Executive alone or in concert with others during the
Executive’s employment with UnionTools and during the one (1)
year thereafter, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. These
obligations will be binding upon the Executive and the
Executive’s executors, administrators and other
representatives.

5.    List of Prior
Inventions.

All Inventions which the Executive has
made prior to employment by UnionTools are excluded from the scope of
this Agreement. As a matter of record, the Executive has set forth on
Annex I hereto a complete list of those Inventions which might relate
to the Company’s Business and which have been made by the
Executive prior to employment with UnionTools. The Executive represents
that such list is complete. If no list is attached, the Executive
represents that there are no prior Inventions.

6.    Non-Competition.

			
		(a) 	The Executive acknowledges that: (i) the Company
and the Affiliates are and will be engaged in the Business during the
term of the Executive’s employment and thereafter; (ii) the
Company and the Affiliates are and will be actively engaged in the
Business throughout the world; (iii) the Executive is one of a limited
number of persons who will be developing the Business; (iv) the
Executive has and will continue to occupy a position of trust and
confidence with the Company after the date hereof and during the term
of the Executive’s employment the Executive will become familiar
with the Company’s (and the Affiliates’) trade secrets and
with other proprietary and confidential information concerning the
Company (and the Affiliates) and the Business; (v) the agreements and
covenants contained in this Agreement are essential to protect the
Company, the Affiliates and the goodwill of the Business and are a
condition precedent to the execution by the Company of the Employment
Agreement; (vi) the Executive’s employment with UnionTools has
special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and the
Affiliates and the Company would be irreparably damaged if the

A-3

			
		 	
Executive were to provide services to any
person or entity in violation of the provisions of this Section 6; and
(vii) the Executive has means to support the Executive and the
Executive’s dependents other than by engaging in the Business,
and the provisions of this Section 6 will not impair such ability.

			
		(b) 	The Executive will not, in the countries where
the Company and the Affiliates engage in the Business, including the
United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia
(the ‘‘Restricted Territory’’), during the
Restricted Period (as defined below), directly or indirectly (whether
as an owner, partner, shareholder, agent, officer, director, employee,
independent contractor, consultant, or otherwise) own, operate, manage,
control, invest in, perform services for, or engage or participate in
any manner in, or render services to (alone or in association with any
person or entity) or otherwise assist any person or entity that engages
in, or owns, invests in, operates, manages or controls any venture or
enterprise that engages in, the Business. The term
‘‘Restricted Period’’ means the period of time
from the date hereof until three (3) years after the termination for
any reason of the Executive’s employment relationship with
UnionTools or any successor thereto. The Restricted Period shall be
extended for a period equal to any time period that the Executive is in
violation of this Section 6. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall
be construed to prevent the Executive from investing in the stock of
any competing corporation listed on a national securities exchange or
traded in the over-the-counter market, but only if the Executive is not
involved in the business of said corporation and if the Executive and
the Executive’s associates (as such term is defined in Regulation
14(A) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as in
effect on the date hereof), collectively, do not own more than an
aggregate of two percent (2%) of the stock of such
corporation.

			
		(c) 	Scope/Severability.    The Parties
acknowledge that the business of the Company and the Affiliates is and
will be national and international in scope and thus the covenants in
this Section 6 would be ineffective if the covenants were to be limited
to a particular geographic area. If any court of competent jurisdiction
at any time deems the Restricted Period unreasonably lengthy, or the
Restricted Territory unreasonably extensive, or any of the covenants
set forth in this Section 6 not fully enforceable, the other provisions
of this Section 6, and this Agreement in general, will nevertheless
stand and, to the full extent consistent with law, continue in full
force and effect, and it is the intention and desire of the Parties
that the court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are not
fully enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed
necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable and
that the court enforce them to such extent (for example, that the
Restricted Period be deemed to be the longest period permissible by
law, but not in excess of the length provided for in Section 6(b), and
the Restricted Territory be deemed to comprise the largest territory
permissible by law under the circumstances but not in excess of the
territory provided for in Section 6(b)).

7.    Non-Solicitation.

			
		(a) 	The Executive will not, during the Restricted
Period, directly or indirectly (whether as an owner, partner,
shareholder, agent, officer, director, employee, independent
contractor, consultant, or otherwise) with or through any individual or
entity:

i.    employ, engage or explicitly
solicit for employment any individual who is, or was at any time during
the twelve-month period immediately prior to the termination of the
Executive’s employment with UnionTools for any reason, an
employee of the Company or any of the Affiliates or otherwise seek to
adversely influence or alter such individual’s relationship with
the Company or any of the Affiliates; or

ii.    solicit or encourage any individual or
entity that is, or was during the twelve-month period immediately prior
to the termination of the Executive’s employment with UnionTools
for any reason, a customer, supplier or vendor of the Company or any
Affiliate to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship
with the Company or any Affiliate.

A-4

iii.    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Executive shall not be prohibited from employing or
otherwise working with any such person whose employment is terminated
by the Company or any Affiliate.

			
		(b) 	The
Restricted Period shall be extended for a period equal to any time
period that the Executive is in violation of this Section 7.

8.    Equitable Remedies.

The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and covenants set
forth in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection
of the Company’s and the Affiliates’ business interests,
that irreparable injury will result to the Company and the Affiliates
if the Executive breaches any of the terms of said covenants, and that
in the event of the Executive’s actual or threatened breach of
any such covenants, the Company and the Affiliates will have no
adequate remedy at law. The Executive accordingly agrees that, in the
event of any actual or threatened breach by the Executive of any of
said covenants, the Company and the Affiliates will be entitled to
immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without posting bond
or other security and without the necessity of showing actual monetary
damages. Nothing in this Section 8 will be construed as prohibiting the
Company or any Affiliate from pursuing any other remedies available to
them for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
any damages that they are able to prove.

9.    Breach.

			
		(a) 	The
Executive’s material breach of any of the Executive’s
obligations under this Agreement will constitute ‘‘due
cause’’ (as defined in the Employment Agreement) for the
termination of employment by the Company and/or the Affiliates, as
appropriate, pursuant to the Employment Agreement.

			
		(b) 	In the event of a breach by Executive of any of
the provisions in this Agreement, Executive will not be entitled to any
severance payments or benefits set forth in the Employment Agreement,
except as required by law, and the Company and/or the Affiliates will
have no obligation to pay any of the amounts that remain payable by the
Company under the Employment Agreement.

10.    No
Right to Employment.

No provision of this Agreement
shall give the Executive any right to continue in the employ of
UnionTools, create any inference as to the length of employment of the
Executive, affect the right of the Company or the Affiliates to
terminate the employment of the Executive, with or without cause, or
give the Executive any right to participate in any welfare or benefit
plan or other program of the Company or any of the Affiliates.

11.    Modification and Waiver.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended or terminated
except by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties. No term or
condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived, except
by written instrument of the Party charged with such waiver. No such
written waiver will be deemed to be a continuing waiver unless
specifically stated therein, and each such waiver will operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a
waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other
than that specifically waived.

12.    Severability.

The Executive
acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this
Agreement are essential to protect the Company and the Affiliates and
their goodwill. Each of the covenants in this Agreement will be
construed as independent of any other covenants or other provisions of
this Agreement. It is the intention and desire of the Parties that the
court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are not fully
enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by
the court to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court
enforce them to such extent.

A-5

13.    Notices.

required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement must
be in writing and will be deemed to have been properly given (a)
when delivered by hand; (b) when sent by telecopier (with
acknowledgment of complete transmission), provided that a copy is

B-3EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this
‘‘Employment Agreement’’) is
effective as of the 5th day of May, 2006 by and between Ames True
Temper, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
‘‘Company’’), and David
M.  Nuti (the
‘‘Executive’’).

WHEREAS,
the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of (i)
manufacturing, marketing and distributing long-handled tools,
wheelbarrows, hose reels, striking tools, pruning implements, pots and
planters, snow tools, lawn carts, repair handles, garden hoses, and
decorative accessories for the lawn and garden, and (ii) conducting
such other activities as are undertaken from time to time by the
Company and each of its Affiliates, as defined in Section 9(f),
as a result of future acquisitions, or otherwise; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and
Executive desires to be employed by the Company, as the Chief Financial
Officer (‘‘CFO’’) of the Company, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the
mutual covenants and promises in this Employment Agreement, the parties
agree as follows:

1.    Employment.    The
Company hereby agrees to employ Executive as CFO of the Company, and
Executive hereby agrees to accept such employment and agrees to act as
CFO of the Company, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Employment Agreement. Executive hereby represents and warrants
that neither Executive’s entry into this Employment Agreement nor
Executive’s performance of Executive’s obligations
hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any other agreement or obligation of any
nature to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound,
including, without limitation, any development agreement,
non-competition agreement or confidentiality agreement entered into by
Executive.

2.    Term of Employment and Automatic
Renewal.    The term of Executive’s employment under
this Employment Agreement will commence on the date of this Employment
Agreement and will continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the
date of this Employment Agreement (the ‘‘Initial
Employment Period’’). THE INITIAL EMPLOYMENT
PERIOD AND ANY RENEWAL EMPLOYMENT PERIOD (AS DEFINED HEREIN) SHALL
AUTOMATICALLY BE RENEWED AND EXTENDED ON THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS
CONTAINED HEREIN FOR CONSECUTIVE ONE-YEAR PERIODS (EACH, A
‘‘RENEWAL EMPLOYMENT PERIOD’’), UNLESS NOT
LATER THAN SIXTY (60) DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE INITIAL EMPLOYMENT
PERIOD OR ANY RENEWAL EMPLOYMENT PERIOD, AS THE CASE MAY BE, EITHER
PARTY SHALL GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS ELECTION TO
TERMINATE THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. The Initial Employment Period
and the Renewal Employment Periods are hereinafter referred to as the
‘‘Employment Period.’’ For
purposes of this Employment Agreement, any notice of termination
electing not to renew this Employment Agreement pursuant to this
Section  2 shall be deemed: (i) a termination without Due
Cause pursuant to Section 9(d) if such notice is delivered by
the Company; or (ii) a voluntary resignation without Good Reason
pursuant to Section 9(e) if such notice is delivered by
Executive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Employment Period is subject to termination pursuant to Section
9 below.

3.    Position and
Responsibilities.    Executive shall report to and be
subject to the direction of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Executive shall perform and discharge such duties and responsibilities
for the Company as the Chief Executive Officer may from time to time
reasonably assign Executive. Executive understands and acknowledges
that such duties shall be subject to revision and modification by the
Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors (the
‘‘Board’’) of CHATT Holdings LLC
(‘‘CHATT’’), as appropriate,
upon reasonable notice to Executive. During the Employment Period,
Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time, attention,
skill and efforts to the faithful performance of Executive’s
duties herein, and shall perform the duties and carry out the
responsibilities assigned to Executive, to the best of
Executive’s ability, in a diligent, trustworthy and businesslike

vacations so as to least conflict with the conduct of the
Company’s business and will give the Company adequate advance

Executive’s unused vacation time may be carried over to
subsequent years; provided, however, that in no event shall

Amended and Restated Unitholders Agreement of CHATT, dated as of
June  28,  2004, as in effect from time to time (the

or

			
		(iv) 	the Board’s
good faith determination that Executive has committed an act or acts
constituting a felony, or other act involving dishonesty, disloyalty or
fraud against the Company.

Agreement, the term ‘‘Permanent
Disability’’ shall mean that Executive is unable

physical or mental incapacity, the essential functions of the
Executive’s position for ninety (90) or more days in any one

has occurred. Such determination shall not be arbitrary or

benefits (at the same cost to the Executive as in effect immediately
prior to such termination of employment) for a period of twelve (12)
months, payable at the Company’s regular payroll intervals.
Notwithstanding the above, Executive shall receive such severance
payment only if Executive is not in material breach of any of the
provisions of the Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreement. Except as set forth in this Section
9(d) and as otherwise described in the Subscription Agreements, if
the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to this Section
9(d), the Company shall have no further obligation to
Executive.

(e)    Voluntary Resignation
by Executive.    Executive may terminate the Employment Period
at any time for any reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice. If the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to this

however, that if Executive is terminating the Employment

plus benefits (at the same cost to the Executive as in effect
immediately prior to such termination of employment) for a period of
twelve (12) months, payable at the Company’s regular payroll
intervals. Notwithstanding the above, Executive shall receive such
amounts only if Executive is not in material breach of any of the
provisions of the Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Competition and

Executive may terminate the Employment Period and receive the severance
payments set forth in this Section

		(i) 	a material
diminution of the Executive’s responsibilities after notice to
the Company and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure;
or

			
		(ii) 	any material breach
of this Employment Agreement on the part of the Company (including, but
not limited to, any decrease in the Base Salary without the consent of
the Executive or relocation of Executive’s place of employment to
a location that is greater than fifty (50) miles from the Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania metropolitan area), after notice to the Board, and a
thirty (30) day opportunity to cure; provided,
however, that Executive is not in material breach of any of
the terms of this Employment
Agreement.

(f)    General
Release.    The receipt of any severance payment as set forth in
this Sections 9 above shall be contingent upon Executive’s
execution of a general release of all claims against the Company and
its Affiliates (as defined below), substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B. For purposes of this Employment Agreement,
the term ‘‘Affiliates’’
means all persons or entities that directly or indirectly, through one
or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, the Company, all companies or entities in which the
Company owns an equity interest, and all predecessors, successors and
assigns of such affiliates.

4

(g)    Mitigation.    Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent Executive obtains
employment at any time during the entire twelve (12) months of the
severance period, the Company’s severance obligations under this
Employment Agreement, including, without limitation, the continuation
of Executive’s benefits hereunder, shall be reduced by the amount
of any compensation or benefits received (or accrued) by the Executive,
including without limitation any equity or other incentive compensation
and any bonus, under such new employment arrangement. Executive agrees
that if Executive accepts other employment at any time during the
entire twelve (12) months of the severance period, Executive shall
notify the Company in writing within two (2) business days of such
acceptance. Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s failure
to abide by this provision shall entitle the Company to recoup all
severance pay previously paid to Executive pursuant to this Employment
Agreement.

(h)    Survival.    Termination
of the Employment Period in accordance with this Section 9, or
expiration of the Employment Period, will not affect the provisions of
this Employment Agreement that survive such termination, including
without limitation, the provisions in the Confidentiality, Inventions,
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement and will not limit
either party’s ability to pursue remedies at law or
equity.

10.    Attorney’s Fees.    If
either party prevails in a legal action to enforce or protect its
rights under this Employment Agreement, then that party shall be
entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and
expenses, in addition to all other relief, including but not limited to
damages and injunctive relief.

11.    Executive
Assistance.    Both during the Employment Period and for two
(2) years after the end of the Employment Period, Executive shall, upon
reasonable notice, furnish the Company with such information as may be
in Executive’s possession or control, and cooperate with the
Company, as the Company may reasonably request (with due consideration
to Executive’s business activities and obligations after the
Employment Period), in connection with any litigation, claim, or other
dispute in which the Company or any of its Affiliates is or may become
a party. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive in fulfilling
Executive’s obligations under this Section 11. In
addition, to the extent that the Executive provides such assistance at
any time after six months from the date that Executive’s
employment with the Company has terminated, and Executive is required
to be absent from employment for one or more days in order to provide
such assistance, the Company shall pay the Executive for each such day
an amount equal to the daily rate of the Executive’s Base Salary
as in effect as of the date of
termination.

12.    Effect of Prior
Agreements.    This Employment Agreement, the Subscription
Agreement, the Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Unitholders Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the LLC Agreement contain the entire understanding
among the Company, CHATT and Executive relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any prior agreements, arrangements, and
understandings between Executive, CHATT, ATT Holding Co., and the
Company relating to the subject matter
hereof.

13.    Modification and
Waiver.    This Employment Agreement may not be modified or
amended, nor may any provisions of this Employment Agreement be waived,
except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties. No written
waiver will be deemed to be a continuing waiver unless specifically
stated therein, and each such waiver will operate only as to the
specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically
waived.

14.    Severability.    If, for any
reason, any provision of this Employment Agreement is held invalid,
such invalidity will not affect any other provision of this Employment
Agreement, and each provision will to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this
Employment Agreement is held invalid in part, such invalidity will in
no way affect the rest of such provision, and the rest of such
provision, together with all other provisions of this Employment
Agreement, will, to the full extent consistent with law, continue in
full force and effect.

of authorship, concepts or ideas, or expressions thereof, whether or
not subject to patents, copyright, trademark, trade secret protection

Affiliates.

			
		(c) 	Executive acknowledges that all
original works of authorship which are made by the Executive (solely or
jointly) are works made for hire under the United States Copyright Act
(17 U.S.C., et seq.).

			
		(d) 	Executive agrees to

as if executed by Executive; this designation and appointment
constitutes an irrevocable power of attorney and is coupled with an
interest.

Company and each of its Affiliates (and their respective successors) to

Affiliate or (b) to the Company’s or any Affiliate’s
actual demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (2) the

be developing the Business; (iv)  Executive has and will continue
to occupy a position of trust and confidence with the Company after the
date hereof and during the term of the Executive’s employment
Executive will become familiar with the Company’s (and its
Affiliates’) trade secrets and with other proprietary and
confidential information concerning the Company (and its Affiliates)
and the Business; (v) the agreements and covenants contained in this
Agreement are essential to protect the Company, its Affiliates and the
goodwill of the Business and are a condition precedent to the sale by
the Company to Executive of certain Common Units, pursuant to the
Subscription Agreement between the parties, dated as of the date
hereof, and pursuant to the Strip Subscription Agreement between the
parties, dated as of the date hereof; (vi)  Executive’s
employment with the Company and/or its Affiliates has special, unique
and extraordinary value to the Company and its Affiliates and the
Company would be irreparably damaged if Executive were to provide
services to any person or entity in violation of the provisions of this
Section 6; and (vii) Executive has means to support Executive and
Executive’s dependents other than by engaging in the Business,
and the provisions of this Section 6 will not impair such ability.

			
		(b) 	Executive will not, during the Restricted Period
(as defined below), anywhere in the world (the
‘‘Restricted Territory’’), directly or
indirectly (whether as an owner, partner, shareholder, agent, officer,
director, employee, independent contractor, consultant, or otherwise)
own, operate, manage, control, invest in, perform services for, or
engage or participate in any manner in, or render services to (alone or
in association with any person or entity) or otherwise assist any
person or entity that engages in, or owns, invests in, operates,
manages or controls any venture or enterprise that engages in, the
Business. The term ‘‘Restricted Period’’
means the period of time from the date hereof until two (2) years after
the termination for any reason of Executive’s employment
relationship with the Company and/or any Affiliate or any successor
thereto (including any termination based on non-renewal of any
employment agreement or arrangement). The Restricted Period shall be
extended for a period equal to any time period that Executive is in
violation of this Section 6. Nothing 

A-3

			
		 	
contained in this Section 6 shall be construed
to prevent Executive from investing in the stock of any competing
corporation listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the
over-the-counter market, but only if Executive is not involved in the
business of said corporation and if Executive and Executive’s
associates (as such term is defined in Regulation 14(A) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect on the date
hereof), collectively, do not own more than an aggregate of one percent
(1%) of the stock of such
corporation.

			
		(c) 	Scope/Severability.    The
parties acknowledge that the business of the Company and its Affiliates
is and will be national and international in scope and thus the
covenants in this Section 6 would be ineffective if the covenants were
to be limited to a particular geographic area. If any court of
competent jurisdiction at any time deems the Restricted Period
unreasonably lengthy, or the Restricted Territory unreasonably
extensive, or any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6 not
fully enforceable, the other provisions of this Section 6, and this
Agreement in general, will nevertheless stand and, to the full extent
consistent with law, continue in full force and effect, and it is the
intention and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions
of this Agreement which are not fully enforceable as having been
modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them
reasonable and enforceable and that the court enforce them to such
extent (for example, that the Restricted Period be deemed to be the
longest period permissible by law, but not in excess of the length
provided for in Section 6(b), and the Restricted Territory be deemed to
comprise the largest territory permissible by law under the
circumstances but not in excess of the territory provided for in
Section
6(b)).

7.    Non-Solicitation.

			
		(a) 	Executive
will not, during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly (whether
as an owner, partner, shareholder, agent, officer, director, employee,
independent contractor, consultant, or otherwise) with or through any
individual or entity:

i.    employ, engage
or explicitly solicit for employment any individual who is, or was at
any time during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and/or
any Affiliate for any reason, an employee of the Company or any of its
Affiliates or otherwise seek to adversely influence or alter such
individual’s relationship with the Company or any of its
Affiliates; or

ii.    solicit or encourage
any individual or entity that is, or was during the twelve-month period
immediately prior to the termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company or any Affiliate for any reason, a customer, supplier
or vendor of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate or otherwise
alter his, her or its relationship with the Company or any
Affiliate.

			
		(b) 	The Restricted Period shall be
extended for a period equal to any time period that Executive is in
violation of this Section 7.

8.    Equitable
Remedies.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that
the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement are reasonable
and necessary for the protection of the Company’s and its
Affiliates’ business interests, that irreparable injury will
result to the Company and its Affiliates if Executive breaches any of
the terms of said covenants, and that in the event of
Executive’s actual or threatened breach of any such covenants,
the Company and its Affiliates will have no adequate remedy at law.
Executive accordingly agrees that, in the event of any actual or
threatened breach by Executive of any of said covenants, the Company
and its Affiliates will be entitled to immediate injunctive and other
equitable relief, without posting bond or other security and without
the necessity of showing actual monetary damages. Nothing in this
Section 8 will be construed as prohibiting the Company or any Affiliate
from pursuing any other remedies available to them for such breach or
threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages that they are
able to prove.

A-4

9.    Breach.

			
		(a) 	Executive’s
breach of any of the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement
will be deemed a material breach of any employment agreement or
arrangement Executive has with the Company or any of its Affiliates and
will constitute cause or due cause or the like for termination by the
Company and/or its Affiliates, as appropriate.

			
		(b) 	In the event that the Company and/or its
Affiliates, as appropriate, terminates Executive without cause or due
cause or the like or Executive voluntarily resigns, Executive will
receive severance payments, to the extent entitled under any employment
agreement or arrangement, only if Executive is not in breach of any of
the provisions in this Agreement.

10.    No Right
to Employment.

No provision of this Agreement shall
give Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
any of its Affiliates, create any inference as to the length of
employment of Executive, affect the right of the Company or its
Affiliates to terminate the employment of Executive, with or without
cause, or give Executive any right to participate in any welfare or
benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of its
Affiliates.

11.    Modification and
Waiver.

This Agreement may not be modified or
amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the
parties. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have
been waived, except by written instrument of the party charged with
such waiver. No such written waiver will be deemed to be a continuing
waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver will
operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to
any act other than that specifically
waived.

12.    Severability.

Executive
acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this
Agreement are essential to protect the Company and its Affiliates and
their goodwill. Each of the covenants in this Agreement will be
construed as independent of any other covenants or other provisions of
this Agreement. It is the intention and desire of the parties that the
court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are not fully
enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by
the court to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court
enforce them to such
extent.

13.    Notices.

Any
notice, consent, waiver and other communications required or permitted
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement must be in writing and
will be deemed to have been properly given (a) when delivered by hand;
(b) when sent by telecopier (with acknowledgment of complete
transmission), provided that a copy is mailed by U.S. certified mail,
return receipt requested; (c) three (3) days after sent by certified
mail, return receipt requested; or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a
