                           service of the Company or an Affiliate on those
                           dates:

                                                                    Percentage Vested
                                                                 (including portion that

                           ------------                        --------------------------
                           1st Anniversary of Grant Date....               25%

                           4th Anniversary of Grant Date....              100%

3. RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER   You will not be entitled to any privileges of
                           ownership of the shares of Common Stock underlying
                           your Units (the "Shares") unless and until Shares are
                           actually delivered to you under this Agreement.

4. DIVIDENDS               You will be credited with additional Deferred Stock
                           Units having a value equal to declared dividends, if
                           any, with record dates that occur prior to the
                           settlement of any Units as if such Units had been
                           actual Shares, based on the Fair Market Value of a
                           Share on the applicable dividend payment date. Any
                           such additional Deferred Stock Units shall be
                           considered Units under this Agreement and shall also
                           be credited with additional Deferred Stock Units as
                           dividends, if any, are declared, and shall be subject
                           to the same restrictions and conditions as Units with
                           respect to which they were credited. Notwithstanding
                           the foregoing, no such additional Deferred Stock
                           Units will be credited with respect to any dividend
                           in connection with which Units are adjusted pursuant
                           to Section 3(c) of the Plan.

5. SETTLEMENT OF UNITS     (a)  Time of Settlement. Each Vested Unit will be
                                settled by the delivery of one Share to you or,
                                in the event of your death, to your designated
                                beneficiary, promptly following the date or
                                dates (any such date, the "Settlement Date") you
                                have elected on the attached Settlement Election
                                Form. You may change the Settlement Election
                                Date one time only, and only to a later date, as
                                provided in the Settlement Election Form.

                           (b)  Termination Prior to Settlement Date. If your
                                employment or service with the Company is
                                terminated prior to any Settlement Date, your
                                Units will be treated as specified in the
                                Settlement Election Form.

                           (c)  Forfeiture of Unvested Units. All Units that are
                                not Vested Units at the time of termination will
                                be forfeited effective as of the last Settlement
                                Date to occur under this Agreement.

6. TRANSFERABILITY         Your Units are not transferable, whether voluntarily
                           or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise,
                           except as provided in the Plan. Any assignment,
                           pledge, transfer, or other disposition, voluntary or
                           involuntary, of your Units made, or any attachment,
                           execution, garnishment, or lien issued against or
                           placed upon the Units, other than as so permitted,
                           shall be void.

7. TAXES                   (a)  Social Security and Medicare Taxes. You may be
                                subject to Social Security tax, and you will be
                                subject to Medicare tax on the date or dates
                                your Units become Vested Units under Section 2
                                above, based on the Fair Market Value of the
                                Shares underlying the Units that vest. The
                                Company will pay such taxes on your behalf,
                                including any income, Social Security and
                                Medicare taxes attributable to the Company's
                                payment of such taxes. Payments on your behalf
                                will be reflected in your compensation for
                                federal, state and local income tax purposes.

                           (b)  Income Taxes. You will be subject to U.S.
                                federal income tax on the Settlement Date, based
                                on the Fair Market Value of Shares received in
                                settlement of Vested Units. YOU WILL BE SOLELY
                                RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ALL SUCH INCOME
                                TAXES, AS WELL AS FOR ANY OTHER STATE, LOCAL OR
                                NON-U.S. TAXES THAT MAY BE RELATED TO YOUR
                                RECEIPT OF THE SHARES. Not later than 90 days
                                before any scheduled Settlement Date, you must
                                arrange with the Company for the timely payment
                                of all withholding taxes the Company is
                                obligated to collect from you and remit to U.S.
                                and other applicable tax authorities.

8. MISCELLANEOUS           (a)  This Agreement shall not confer upon you any
                                right to continue as an employee, or otherwise
                                in the service of, the Company or any Affiliate,
                                nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way
                                with the Company's or such Affiliate's right to
                                terminate your employment or service at any
                                time.

                           (b)  Without limiting the generality of Section 1
                                above, with the approval of the Board, and
                                subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee
                                may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan;
                                provided, however, that no such termination,
                                amendment, or modification of the Plan may in
                                any way adversely affect your rights under this
                                Agreement without your consent.

                           (c)  This Agreement will be subject to all applicable
                                laws, rules, and regulations, and to such
                                approvals by any governmental agencies or stock
                                exchanges as may be required.

1. SETTLEMENT ELECTION           CHECK ONLY ONE OPTION:

                                 [X]   SPECIFIED DATE. Subject to Sections 2 and
                                       3 below, I elect to have all Vested Units
                                       that I may hold under the Deferred Stock
                                       Unit Award Agreement to which this
                                       election relates settled by delivery of
                                       Shares to me on 9/2008, which date is at
                                       least one year following the Grant Date
                                       of such Units. If the date specified
                                       occurs before the last scheduled Vesting
                                       Date under this grant, then Units that
                                       vest after such specified date will be
                                       settled promptly following any such
                                       subsequent Vesting Date(s).

                                 [ ]   VESTING DATES. Subject to Sections 2 and
                                       3 below, I elect to have Vested Units
                                       that I may hold under the Deferred Stock
                                       Unit Award Agreement to which this
                                       election relates settled by delivery of
                                       Shares to me promptly following each date
                                       or dates on which vesting of Units
                                       occurs.

2. AUTOMATIC SETTLEMENT UPON     I hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) if my
TERMINATION                      employment is terminated for any reason other
                                 than Cause, Death or Disability, any Vested
                                 Units will be settled on the first anniversary
                                 of my termination date, (b) if my employment is
                                 terminated for Cause, all units will be
                                 immediately forfeited, and (c) if my employment
                                 is terminated for Death or Disability, any
                                 Vested Units will be settled following my
                                 termination date.

3. ONE-TIME CHANGE OF ELECTION   I understand that, once, but only once, I can
PERMITTED                        change my election to a later (but not earlier)
                                 Settlement Date than indicated in Section 1
                                 above by filing a new Settlement Election Form
                                 with the Company at any time on or before the
                                 day (the "Change Deadline Day") that falls one
                                 year before the earliest Settlement Date that
                                 would occur based on my election in Section 1.
                                 I understand that I cannot change my election
                                 after the Change Deadline Day, and that I
                                 cannot change my election more than once. If
                                 the Change Deadline Day falls on a day that is
                                 not a business day for the Company, then the
                                 last day to change the election in Section 1
                                 will be the first business day following the
                                 Change Deadline Day. Any new Settlement
                                 Election Form will revoke the previously filed

                                      TERMS

     For good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:

PART 1 TERM OF EMPLOYMENT, DUTIES AND SCOPE, COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DURING
     EMPLOYMENT

SECTION 1. TERM OF AGREEMENT

(a)  Term. Unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, the term of
     this Agreement will begin on the effective date of this Agreement and will
     end on the second anniversary thereof (the "INITIAL TERM"). The term of
     this Agreement will be automatically extended for one or more successive
     one-year periods (each a "RENEWAL TERM") unless the Company or the
     Executive gives the other written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days
     before the end of the Initial Term or the applicable Renewal Term. The
     Initial Term and any Renewal Term are collectively referred to as the
     "TERM."

(b)  Termination or Resignation. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement,
     including those in Part 2, either the Company or the Executive may
     terminate the Executive's employment with the Company at any time and for
     any reason or no reason upon written notice to the other party.

SECTION 2. DUTIES AND SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT

(a)  Position. The Company will employ the Executive (or, if the Company is not
     the Executive's employer, the Company will cause its appropriate subsidiary
     to employ the Executive) during the Term in the position of Senior Vice
     President and General Manager, Integrated Circuits Group, reporting to Hans
     Wildenberg. The Executive will be given duties, responsibilities and
     authorities that are appropriate to this position. The Executive will
     become an "officer" of the Company as defined by Rule 16a-1(f) under the
     Exchange Act upon election by the board of directors of the Company.

(b)  Obligations. During the Term, the Executive will devote the Executive's
     full business efforts and time to the business and affairs of the Company
     as needed to carry out his duties and responsibilities. The foregoing shall
     not preclude the Executive from engaging in appropriate civic, charitable,
     religious or other non-profit activities or from devoting a reasonable
     amount of time to private investments or from serving on the boards of
     directors of other entities, provided that those activities do not
     interfere or conflict with the Executive's duties or responsibilities to
     the Company.

SECTION 3. BASE COMPENSATION

During the Term, the Company will pay the Executive, as compensation for
services, a base salary at the annual rate of at least $230,000. Salary
increases will be considered after the first anniversary of this Agreement, or
sooner in the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, on a basis consistent
with Company policies.

                                       2

<PAGE>

SECTION 4. OTHER COMPENSATION

(a)  EFIP. During the Term the Executive will be enrolled in the Enhanced
     Fairchild Incentive Plan (EFIP), at a targeted participation level of 40%.
     While bonuses under this program are never guaranteed, typically, if the
     company meets its EBITDA goals, participants receive 100% of the targeted
     payout. If the company exceeds those goals, participants can receive up to
     200% of the targeted payout.

(b)  Signing Bonus. Once he begins work at the Company, the Executive will
     receive a signing bonus of $70,000. This bonus will be tax protected, or
     grossed-up to include the income tax owed on the bonus. If the Executive
     voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company without Good Reason
     (as defined in Section 5(b)) during the Initial Term, the Executive must
     repay the entire signing bonus including the tax protection portion.

(c)  Vacation. The Executive will receive four weeks of vacation each year. This
     may be increased pursuant to the Company's normal policies.

(d)  Relocation Allowance. The Executive will receive a relocation allowance of
     $19,200, which will not be tax protected. If the Executive voluntarily
     terminates his employment with the Company without Good Reason during the
     Initial Term, the Executive must repay this entire relocation allowance.

(e)  Options. The Company will grant the Executive the option to purchase 30,000
     shares of the company's common stock, subject to the applicable Company
     plan governing such award and an award agreement under such plan not
     inconsistent with the terms of this paragraph. The grant date for this
     grant of options will be the effective date of this Agreement. This grant
     will vest in 25% increments on the first four anniversaries of the grant
     date. The Executive will be solely responsible for any taxes associated
     with the foregoing stock option grant.

(f)  DSUs. In addition to any grants of options or other awards for which the
     Executive may be eligible under the Company's general stock plan, the
     Company will grant the Executive 15,000 deferred stock units, subject to
     the applicable Company plan governing such award and an award agreement
     under such plan not inconsistent with the terms of this paragraph. The
     grant date of this grant of deferred stock units will be the effective date
     of this Agreement. This grant will vest in 25% increments on the first four
     anniversaries of the grant date. The Executive will be solely responsible
     for any taxes associated with the receipt, vesting, or delivery of shares
     or cash under, this grant, and the Company will make appropriate
     withholdings from any distributions of shares or cash thereunder.

PART 2 COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS IN CASE OF TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR
     GOOD REASON

                                       3

<PAGE>

SECTION 5. TERMINATIONS AND RELATED DEFINITIONS

Part 2 of the Agreement, consisting of Sections 5 and 6, describes the benefits
and compensation, if any, payable in case of certain terminations of employment.

In this Agreement,

(a)  "CAUSE" means (1) a willful failure by the Executive to substantially
     perform the Executive's duties under this Agreement, other than a failure
     resulting from the Executive's complete or partial incapacity due to
     physical or mental illness or impairment, (2) a willful act by the
     Executive that constitutes gross misconduct and that is materially
     injurious to the Company, (3) a willful breach by the Executive of a
     material provision of this Agreement (including Sections 8 and 10) or (4) a
     material and willful violation of a federal or state law or regulation
     applicable to the business of the Company that is materially and
     demonstrably injurious to the Company, provided that no act, or failure to
     act, by the Executive shall be considered "willful" unless committed
     without good faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission
     was in the Company's best interest, and provided, further, that, if the
     failure, act, breach or other basis for finding Cause under this Agreement
     is capable of being cured, then no finding of Cause shall be made unless
     the Executive has failed to cure such failure, act, breach or other basis
     within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof from the Company.

(b)  "GOOD REASON" means any of the following: (1) a reduction in the
     Executive's base salary other than as part of a broader executive pay
     reduction, (2) a reduction in the Executive's incentive compensation (EFIP)
     target other than as part of a broader executive reduction, (3) a material
     change in the employment benefits available to the Executive, if such
     change does not similarly affect all employees of the Company eligible for
     such benefits, or (4) a material reduction in the Executive's duties,
     responsibilities or authority.

SECTION 6. TERMINATION BY COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE OR BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON

(a)  Severance. If, during the Term, the Company terminates the Executive's
     employment for any reason other than Cause (including as a result of the
     Executive's death or disability), or if the Executive terminates his
     employment for Good Reason, then, provided the Executive (or his legal
     representative, if applicable) executes the release of claims described in
     Section 6(b), the Company will pay the Executive, in a lump sum or, at the
     Company's option, in installments over 12 months following the effective
     date of such termination, an amount equal to one times the Executive's base
     salary in effect on such termination date. The Executive will be
     responsible for all taxes relating to such payments and the Company will
     make all required withholdings of all such taxes. In addition, for a period
     of one year following such termination, the Company shall provide continued
     medical and dental insurance benefits, for the benefit of the Executive and
     his eligible dependents, on the same terms and conditions as available to
     executives of the Company in comparable positions (viewing the Executive
     for this purpose as if he had remained employed by the Company following
     such termination). At the time of such

                                       4

<PAGE>

     termination, the Company shall pay the Executive in cash for all accrued
     and unused vacation time.

(b)  Release of Claims. As a condition to the receipt of the payments and
     benefits described in Section 6(a), the Executive (or his legal
     representative, if applicable) shall be required to execute a release of
     all claims arising out of the Executive's employment or the termination
     thereof, including any claim of discrimination under U.S. state or federal
     law or any non-U.S. law, but excluding claims for indemnification from the
     Company under any indemnification agreement with the Company, its
     certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizing
     instruments), or claims under applicable directors' and officers'
     insurance. If the Executive executes such a release, then the Company shall
     release the Executive from all claims arising out of the Executive's
     employment with the Company, other than any claims arising (before or after
     termination) under Sections 8 or 10 of this Agreement.

(c)  Conditions to Receipt of Payments. Without limiting the Company's other
     rights or remedies in the even of the Executive's breach of any provision
     of this Agreement, the obligation of the Company to provide the payments
     described in this Section 6 shall cease if the Executive breaches any of
     the provisions of Section 8 or 10.

PART 3 COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS IN CASE OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL

SECTION 7. CHANGE IN CONTROL

(a)  Payment. In the event of a Change in Control, if the Executive's employment
     is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (including as a result of
     the Executive's death or disability), or by the Executive for Good Reason,
     in either case within the time period beginning six months before the
     Change in Control and ending 12 months after the Change in Control, the
     cash payment under Section 6(a) will be paid in a lump sum within 14 days
     after the date of such termination. Any obligation of the Company under
     this Section 7 will survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b)  Definition. A "CHANGE IN CONTROL" means the happening of any of the
     following events (for purposes of this Section 7 only, the "COMPANY" means
     Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and
     not any of its subsidiaries):

     (1)  An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning
          of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT")) (any of which, a "PERSON") of
          beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
          under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of either (i) the
          then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the
          "OUTSTANDING COMPANY COMMON STOCK") or (ii) the combined voting power
          of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to
          vote generally in the election of directors (the "OUTSTANDING COMPANY
          VOTING Securities"); excluding, however, the following: (A) Any
          acquisition directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by

                                       5

<PAGE>

          privilege unless the security being so converted was itself acquired
          directly from the Company, (B) Any acquisition by the Company, (C) Any
          acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored
          or maintained by the Company or any entity controlled by the Company,

          clauses (i), (ii) and (ii) of Section 7(b)(3); or

     (2)  A change in the composition of the board of directors of the Company
          (the "BOARD") such that the individuals who, as of the effective date
          of this Agreement, constitute the Board (such Board shall be
          hereinafter referred to as the "INCUMBENT BOARD") cease for any reason
          to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for
          purposes of this definition, that any individual who becomes a member
          of the Board subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement, whose
          election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders,
          was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who
          are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent
          Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be
          considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent
          Board; but, provided further, that any such individual whose initial
          assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
          threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of
          Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or
          threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
          Person other than the Board shall not be so considered as a member of
          the Incumbent Board; or

     (3)  Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or
          other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
          Company ("CORPORATE TRANSACTION"); excluding, however, such a
          Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (i) all or substantially all
          of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial owners,
          respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
          Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate
          Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than
          50% of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the
          combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
          entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case
          may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction
          (including a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns
          the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either
          directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the
          same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such
          Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
          Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no
          Person (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related
          trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such
          Corporate Transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
          25% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock
          of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the
          combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such
          corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
          except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the
          Corporate Transaction, and (iii) individuals who were

                                       6

<PAGE>

          members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of
          the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting
          from such Corporate Transaction; or

     NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION, REMEDIES, SUCCESSORS, MISCELLANEOUS
     PROVISIONS, SIGNATURE PAGE

SECTION 8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a)  Acknowledgement. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the
     services to be performed by the Executive under this Agreement are unique
     and extraordinary and that, as a result of the Executive's employment, the
     Executive will be in a relationship of confidence and trust with the
     Company and will come into possession of Confidential Information (as
     defined below) that is (1) owned or controlled by the Company, (2) in the
     possession of the Company and belonging to third parties or (3) conceived,
     originated, discovered or developed, in whole or in part, by the Executive.
     "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" means trade secrets and other confidential or
     proprietary business, technical, personnel or financial information,
     whether or not the Executive's work product, in written, graphic, oral or
     other tangible or intangible forms, including specifications, samples,
     records, data, computer programs, drawings, diagrams, models, customer
     names, ID's or e-mail addresses, business or marketing plans, studies,
     analyses, projections and reports, communications by or to attorneys
     (including attorney-client privileged communications), memos and other
     materials prepared by attorneys or under their direction (including
     attorney work product), and software systems and processes. Any
     Confidential Information that is not readily available to the public shall
     be considered to be a trade secret and confidential and proprietary, even
     if it is not specifically marked as such, unless the Company advises the
     Executive otherwise in writing.

(b)  Nondisclosure. The Executive agrees that the Executive will not, without
     the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, use or
     disclose Confidential Information to any person, during or after the
     Executive's employment, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course
     of performing the Executive's duties under this Agreement. The Executive
     will keep the Confidential Information in strictest confidence and trust.
     This Section 8(b) shall apply indefinitely, both during and after the Term.

(c)  Surrender Upon Termination. The Executive agrees that in the event of the
     termination of the Executive's employment for any reason, whether before or
     after the Term, the Executive will immediately deliver to the Company all
     property belonging to the Company, including documents and materials of any
     nature pertaining to the Executive's work with the Company, and will not
     take with the Executive any documents or materials

                                       7

<PAGE>

     of any description, or any reproduction thereof of any description,
     containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. It is understood
     that the Executive is free to use information that is in the public domain,
     but not as a result of a breach of this Agreement.

(d)  Forfeiture in Certain Events. The Company may, in its sole discretion, in
     the event of serious misconduct by the Executive (including any misconduct
     prejudicial to or in conflict with the Company or its subsidiaries, or any
     termination of employment of the Executive for Cause), (A) cancel any
     outstanding award of stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock units
     or other award granted to the Executive under a Company plan or otherwise
     (an "AWARD"), in whole or in part, whether or not vested or deferred, or
     (B) following the exercise or payment of an Award, within a period of time
     specified by the Company, require the Executive to repay to the Company any
     gain realized or payment received upon the exercise or payment of such
     Award (with such gain or payment valued as of the date of exercise or
     payment). Such cancellation or repayment obligation shall be effective as
     of the date specified by the Company, which may provide for an offset to
     any future payments owed by the Company or any subsidiary to the Executive
     if necessary to satisfy the repayment obligation. Any determination of
     whether the Executive has engaged in a serious breach of conduct or, if
     applicable, any activity in competition with the business of the Company or
     any subsidiary, will be determined by the Company in good faith and in its
     sole discretion. This Section 8(d) shall apply during and following the
     Term of this Agreement, but shall have no application following a Change in
     Control.

SECTION 9. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Executive will promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property to the
Company. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as
otherwise directed by the Company) the Executive's full right, title and
interest in and to all Intellectual Property. The Executive will execute any and
all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other
proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including the execution and
delivery of instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the
Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the
Company and its affiliates to enforce any patents, copyrights or other
proprietary rights to the Intellectual Property. "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY" means
inventions, discoveries, developments, methods, processes, compositions, works,
concepts and ideas (whether or not patentable or copyrightable or constituting
trade secrets) conceived, made, created, developed or reduced to practice by the
Executive (whether alone or with others, whether or not during normal businesses
hours or on or off Company premises) during the Executive's employment that
relate to any business, venture or activity being conducted or proposed to be
conducted by the Company or its subsidiaries at any time during the term of the
Executive's employment with the Company.

SECTION 10. RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIVITIES OF THE EXECUTIVE

(a)  Acknowledgments. The Executive agrees that he is being employed under this
     Agreement in a key management capacity with the Company, that the Company
     is engaged in a highly competitive business and that the success of the
     Company's business

                                       8

<PAGE>

     in the marketplace depends upon its goodwill and reputation for quality and
     dependability. The Executive further agrees that reasonable limits may be
     placed on his ability to compete against the Company and its affiliates as
     provided in this Agreement so as to protect and preserve their legitimate
     business interests and goodwill.

(b)  Agreement Not to Compete or Solicit.

     (1)  During the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), the Executive
          will not engage or participate in, directly or indirectly, as
          principal, agent, employee, corporation, consultant, investor or
          partner, or assist in the management of, any business which is
          Competitive with the Company (as defined below).

     (2)  During the Non-Competition Period, the Executive will not, directly or
          indirectly, through any other entity, hire or attempt to hire, any
          officer, director, consultant, executive or employee of the Company or
          any of its affiliates during his or her engagement with the Company or
          such affiliate. During the Non-Competition Period, the Executive will
          not call upon, solicit, divert or attempt to solicit or divert from
          the Company or any of its affiliates any of their customers or
          suppliers or potential customers or suppliers of whose names he was
          aware during his term of employment (other than customers or suppliers
          or potential customers or suppliers contacted by the Executive solely
          in connection with a business that is not Competitive with the
          Company).

     (3)  The "NON-COMPETITION PERIOD" means the period during which Executive
          is employed by the Company and the following 12 months.

     (4)  A business shall be considered "COMPETITIVE WITH THE COMPANY" if it is
          engaged in any business, venture or activity in the Restricted Area
          (as defined below) which competes or plans to compete with any
          business, venture or activity being conducted or actively and
          specifically planned to be conducted within the Non-Competition Period
          (as evidence by the Company's internal written business plans or
          memoranda) by the Company, or any group, division or affiliate of the
          Company, at the date the Executive's employment under this Agreement
          is terminated.

     (5)  The "RESTRICTED AREA" means the United States of America and any other
          country where the Company, or any group, division or affiliate of the
          Company, is conducting, or has proposed to conduct within the
          Non-Competition Period (as evidenced by the Company's internal written
          business plans or memoranda), any business, venture or activity, at
          the date the Executive's employment under this Agreement is
          terminated.

     (6)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, the parties agree
          that (A) ownership of not more than three percent (3%) of the voting
          stock of any publicly held corporation shall not, of itself,
          constitute a violation of this Section 10 and (B) working as an
          employee of an entity that has a stand-alone division or business unit
          which is Competitive with the Company shall not, of

                                       9

<PAGE>

          itself, constitute a violation of this Section 10 if the Executive is
          not, in any way (directly or indirectly, as principal, agent,
          employee, corporation, consultant, advisor, investor or partner),
          responsible for, compensated with respect to, or involved in the
          activities of such stand-alone division or business unit and does not
          (directly or indirectly) provide information or assistance to such
          stand-alone division or business unit.

SECTION 11. REMEDIES

It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of
Section 8 or 10 of this Agreement would likely result in irreparable injury to
the Company and that the remedy at law alone would be an inadequate remedy for
such breach, and that in addition to any other remedy it may have, the Company
shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by the
Executive and to obtain both temporary and permanent injunctive relief without
the necessity of proving actual damages.

SECTION 12. SEVERABLE PROVISIONS

The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the invalidity of any one or
more provisions shall not affect the validity of any other provision. In the
event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision
of this Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable in whole or in
part because of the duration of scope thereof, the parties hereby agree that
such court, in making such determination, shall have the power to reduce the
duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it
enforceable and that this Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

SECTION 13. SUCCESSORS

(a)  Company's Successors. The Company will require any successor (whether
     direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation,
     liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company's
     business or assets, by an agreement in substance and form satisfactory to
     the Executive, to assume this Agreement and to agree expressly to perform
     this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company
     would be required to perform it in the absence of a succession. The
     Company's failure to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of a
     succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the
     Executive to all of the compensation and benefits to which the Executive
     would have been entitled under this Agreement if the Company had terminated
     the Executive's employment for any reason other than Cause, on the date
     when such succession becomes effective. For all purposes under this
     Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the term
     "Company" shall include any successor to the Company's business or assets
     that executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this
     Section 13(a), or that becomes bound by this Agreement by operation of law.

(b)  Executive's Successors. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive
     under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
     the Executive's personal

                                       10

<PAGE>

     or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
     distributees, devisees and legatees.

SECTION 14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a)  Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or
     discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in
     writing and signed by the Executive and by an authorized officer of the
     Company (other than the Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach
     of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by
     the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or
     provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

(b)  Whole Agreement; Interpretation. No agreements, representations or
     understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied)
     that are not expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or
     entered into by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof. The
     reference table on the first page and the headings in this Agreement are
     for convenience of reference only and will not affect the construction or
     interpretation of this Agreement. The word "or" is used in its
     non-exclusive sense. Unless otherwise stated, the word "including" should
     be read to mean "including without limitation" and does not limit the
     preceding words or terms. All references to "Sections" or other provisions
     in this Agreement are to the corresponding Sections or provisions in this
     Agreement. All words in this Agreement will be construed to be of such
     gender or number as the circumstances require.

     shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
     personally delivered, mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return
     receipt requested, or sent by a documented overnight courier service. In
     the case of the Executive, mailed notices shall be addressed to the
     Executive at the home address maintained in the Company's records. In the
     case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate
     headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its
     Chief Executive Officer.

(d)  Setoff. The Company may set off against any payments owed to the Executive
     under this Agreement any debt or obligation of the Executive owed to the
     Company.

(e)  Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance
     of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maine,
     irrespective of Maine's choice-of-law principles.

(f)  Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the enforcement
     of Sections 8 and 10, any dispute or controversy arising out of the
     Executive's employment or the termination thereof, including any claim of
     discrimination under U.S. (state or federal) or non-U.S. law, shall be
     settled exclusively by arbitration in Portland, Maine, in accordance with
     the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment
     may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.

(g)  No Assignment of Benefits. The rights of any person to payments or benefits
     under this Agreement shall not be made subject to option or assignment,
     either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law,
     including bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor's process,
     and any action in violation of this Section 14(g) shall be void.

(h)  Limitation of Remedies. If the Executive's employment terminates for any
     reason, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits,
     damages, awards or compensation other than as provided by this Agreement,
     including under the severance policies of the Company or any subsidiary.

(i)  Taxes. Except where specified in this Agreement as "tax protected," all
     payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to withholding of
     applicable taxes.

(j)  Discharge of Responsibility. The payments under this Agreement, when made
     in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall fully discharge all
     responsibilities of the Company to the Executive that existed at the time
     of termination of the Executive's employment.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the
case of the Company by its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year first
above written. The Executive has consulted, or has had the opportunity to
consult, with counsel (who is other than the Company's counsel) prior to
execution of this Agreement.
