shareholders of each new director during such two-year period was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were
directors at the beginning of such two-year period; provided, however, that no
Change in Control shall be deemed to occur unless circumstances and events that

              (e)

        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    SECTION 3.  Terms of
Employment.  (a) Position and
Duties.  (i) During the Employment Period: (A) the Executive’s
position, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all
material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and
assigned immediately prior to the Operative Date, and (B) the Executive’s
services shall be performed at the location at which the Executive was based on
the Operative Date and the Company shall not require the Executive to travel on
Company business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately
before the Operative Date, except for travel and temporary assignments which are
reasonably required for the full discharge of the Executive’s responsibilities
and which are consistent with the Executive’s being so based.

    

    (ii)
During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick
leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote
reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and
affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the
responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive’s
reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such
responsibilities.

    

    (b)           Compensation.  (i)
Salary and
Bonus.  During the Employment Period the Executive will receive
compensation at an annual rate equal to the sum of (A) a salary (“Annual Base
Salary”) not less than the Executive’s annualized salary in effect immediately
prior to the Operative Date, plus (B) a bonus (“Annual Bonus”) not less than the
aggregate amount of the Executive’s highest bonus award applicable under the Key
Employees Incentive Plan (“KEIP”), the Management Employees Incentive Plan
(“MEIP”), or any substitute or successor plan for the last three calendar years
preceding the Operative Date.  In determining the Annual Bonus, for
any of the last three calendar years preceding the Operative Date in which the
Executive did not participate in either the KEIP or the MEIP, the Executive
shall be deemed to have received a bonus amount equal to the Executive’s target
award under the Plan in which the Executive is participating on the first day of
the Employment Period.

    

    (ii) Welfare Benefit
Plans.  While employed by the Company during the Employment
Period, the Executive and/or the Executive’s family or beneficiary, as the case

Company.

    

    (iii) Business
Expenses.  During the Employment Period the Company shall, in
accordance with policies then in effect with respect to the payment of expenses,
pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel and other
expenses (other than ordinary commuting expenses) incurred by the Executive in
performing services hereunder.  All such expenses shall be accounted
for in such reasonable detail as the Company may require.

    

    (iv) Vacations.  The
Executive shall be entitled to periods of vacation not less than those to which
the Executive was entitled immediately prior to the Operative
Date.

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    SECTION 4.  Termination of
Employment.

    

    (a)           Death or
Incapacity.  The Executive’s employment shall terminate
automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment
Period.  The Executive’s employment shall cease and terminate on the
date of determination by the Company that the Incapacity of the Executive has
occurred during the Employment Period (“Incapacity Effective
Date”).

    

    (b)           Cause.  The
Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause, as defined
herein.

    

    (c)           Good
Reason.  The Executive may terminate his or her employment for
Good Reason, as defined herein.

    

    (d)           Notice of
Termination.  Any termination by the Company for Cause or
Incapacity, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice
of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 11 of
this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of
Termination” means a written notice which

    

    (i)
indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied
upon,

    

    (ii) to
the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s
employment under the provision so indicated, and

    

    (iii) if
the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of
such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than
30 days after the giving of such notice).  The failure by the
Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or
circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason, Incapacity or Cause
shall not serve to waive any right of the Executive or the Company,
respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively,
from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the
Company’s rights hereunder.

    

    (e)           Date of
Termination.  “Date of Termination” means (i) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the
Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or
any later date specified therein, as the case may be,

    

    (ii) if
the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or
Incapacity, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company
notifies the Executive of such termination, and

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (iii) if
the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Incapacity, the
Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the
Incapacity Effective Date, as the case may be.

    

    SECTION 5.  Obligations of the Company
Upon Termination.  (a) Termination for Good Reason
or for reasons other than for Cause, death or Incapacity.  If,
during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive’s
employment other than for Cause or Incapacity or the Executive shall terminate
his or her employment for Good Reason:

    

    (i) the Company shall pay to the
Executive in a lump sum in cash within ten (10) days after the Date of
Termination the aggregate of the following amounts:

    

    (A)           the
sum of (1) the Executive’s currently effective Annual Base Salary through the
Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x)
the Annual Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days in the current calendar year through the Date of Termination, and the
denominator of which is 365 and (3) any accrued vacation pay, in each case to
the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses
(1), (2) and (3) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”);
and

    

    (B)           the
amount equal to the Executive’s Annual Base Salary.

    

    (ii) for the duration of the Employment
Period after the Executive’s Date of Termination, the Company shall continue
medical and dental benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family and
the rights of the Executive and/or the Executive’s family under Section 4980B(f)
of the Internal Revenue Code shall commence at the end of such
period;

    

    (iii) the Company shall, at its sole
expense as incurred, provide the Executive with reasonable outplacement
services, the provider and scope of which shall be selected by the Company in
its sole discretion;

    

    (b)           Death or
Incapacity.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by
reason of the Executive’s death or Incapacity during the Employment Period, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal
representatives under this Agreement, other than for timely payment of Accrued
Obligations.

    

    (c)           Cause; Other than for Good
Reason.  If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for
Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without
further obligations to the Executive other than timely payment to the Executive
of the Executive’s currently effective Annual Base Salary through the Date of
Termination to the extent theretofore unpaid.  If the Executive
voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a
termination for Good Reason,

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other
than for the timely payment of Accrued Obligations.

    

    SECTION 6.  Non-exclusivity of
Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program policy or
practice provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates and for which the
Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 14(c), shall anything herein
limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any
contract or agreement with the Company or any of its
Affiliates.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive
is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of
or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates at or
subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such
plan, policy, practice, program, contract or agreement except as explicitly
modified by this Agreement.

    

    SECTION 7.  No
Mitigation.  The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s
employment is terminated during the Employment Period for any reason, the
Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to
reduce any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder.  Further,
except as provided in Section 5(a)(ii) hereof, the amount of any payment or
benefit provided hereunder shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by
the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement
benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to
the Company, or otherwise.

    

    SECTION 8.  Full
Settlement.  Subject to full compliance by the Company with all
of its obligations under this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to
constitute the settlement of such claims as the Executive might otherwise be
entitled to assert against the Company by reason of the termination of the
Executive’s employment for any reason during the Employment
Period.  The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in
this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be
affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right
or action which the Company may have against the Executive or
others.  In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable
to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts
shall not be reduced, except as explicitly provided in Section 5(a)(ii), whether
or not the Executive obtains other employment.

    

    SECTION 9.  Successors; Binding
Agreement.

    

    (a)           The
Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company, by agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
if no such succession had taken place.  As used in this Agreement,
“the Company” means the Company as defined in the preamble to this Agreement and
any successor to its business or assets which executes and delivers the
agreement provided for in this Section 9 or

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    which
otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
operation of law or otherwise.

    

    (b)           This
Agreement shall be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes,
devisees and legatees.

    

    SECTION 10.  Non-assignability­.  This
Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without
the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder, except as provided in Section 9
hereof.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive’s right to
receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, whether by
pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by
his or her will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and, in the event of
any attempted assignment or transfer by the Executive contrary to this Section,
the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be
assigned or transferred.
