Exhibit 10.1

Severance Pay Policy

When associates are terminated due to departmental closures, restructuring, or elimination of
a position, applicable severance pay may be provided as a temporary continuation of earnings to
assist associates in the transition to new employment. Associates who are terminated for another
reason, or who voluntarily resign, are not eligible for severance pay under this policy.

Severance pay is calculated using the associate’s regular, base rate of pay on the termination
date. Base pay does not include bonus, incentives, overtime pay or any other remuneration.

Eligibility for Severance Pay

Associates must be actively employed at the time of termination in order to be eligible for
severance pay. An associate whose employment with the Company or any of its affiliated companies is
terminated will not be entitled to severance pay under this policy if he or she is offered an
alternate position with the Company, any of its affiliated companies, or any successor thereto,
with job duties and responsibilities (determined in relation to his or her current employers’
business), compensation, benefits, perquisites and other terms and conditions of employment that
are substantially similar to those in effect immediately prior to his or her date of termination. A
change in an associate’s title in these circumstances will not, standing alone, entitle him or her
to severance pay under this policy.

Associates who are eligible for severance pay as part of their termination are provided an
agreement that releases the Company from any claims related to the associate’s employment with the
Company, the execution of which is a condition precedent to receiving the severance pay.

The Company reserves the right to determine when severance pay will or will not be paid.

Calculating Severance Pay

Associates may receive severance as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Associate	 	Eligible for	 	Maximum
	Non-Exempt

	 	1 week base salary per year of service

	 	14 weeks base pay
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Exempt

	 	6 weeks base salary, plus
2 weeks per year of service, plus equivalent COBRA

	 	6 months base pay
	 
	 	 	 	 
	AVP

	 	6 weeks base salary, plus
2 weeks per year of service, plus equivalent COBRA

	 	6 months base pay
	 
	 	 	 	 
	VP

	 	6 months base salary, plus
3 weeks per year of service, plus equivalent COBRA
	 	12 months base pay

	 
	 	 	 	 
	SVP

	 	12 months base salary, plus 3 weeks per
year of service, plus equivalent COBRA up to 18 months
	 	24 months base pay 18 months maximum COBRA
	 
	 	 	 	 
	EVP

	 	24 months base salary plus 18 months COBRA	 	 

 

 

The Company reserves the right to amend this severance pay schedule at any time.

Calculating Rates for Full-Time Associates

Severance pay is calculated at the associate’s regular, base rate of pay on the termination date.

Base pay does not include bonus, commissions, incentives, overtime pay, or any other remuneration.
The rate of pay is calculated as follows for full-time associates:

	 	 	 
	Type of Associate	 	Formula for Calculations
	Exempt

	 	Weeks = Divide the associate’s annual base pay by 52.
	 

	 	Months = Divide the associate’s annual base pay by 12.
	 
	 	 
	Non-exempt

	 	Weekly = Multiply the associate’s regular hourly rate by 40.

Part-Time Associates

Part-time associates may be entitled to pro-rated severance pay, based on the severance

schedule established for full-time associates. The pro-rated percentage will be calculated by
obtaining an average number of hours worked per week, based on the six-month period immediately
preceding the date that severance benefits are calculated by the Associate Relations Department.

	 	 	 
	

	 	NOTE: Associates who have been employed on both a full time and part time basis receive severance
pay based on the applicable combination of the full time and part time severance formulas.

Severance pay is calculated using the associate’s regular, base rate of pay on the termination
date. Base pay does not include bonus, incentives, overtime pay or any other remuneration.

Severance and Final Pay at Termination

Associates eligible for severance pay under this policy are paid final regular pay and accrued,
unused vacation according to the requirements of the state in which they are employed. Any earned
bonus or incentive pay is paid in accordance with the applicable plan and agreement. Severance pay
is normally paid in a separate check according to timeframes noted in the release agreement. The
Company will withhold all applicable federal, state, local, and other taxes as well as any required
payroll deductions from all severance pay that is paid under this policy.

Severance Pay for Rehired Associates

If an associate returns to work for the Company after receiving severance pay as part of the
original termination, the returning associate must reimburse the Company for any unused severance
pay.

Outplacement Assistance

As appropriate, the Company may also offer outplacement assistance to help associates find new jobs
and/or transition to new careers.

Administration of Severance Pay Policy

The Company has sole and absolute discretion to interpret and apply the terms of this policy. The
Company’s determinations under this policy shall be final and binding on all persons. The Company
reserves the right to amend or terminate this policy at any time and without prior notice .<PAGE>

               year (January 1 - December 31) and the Purchaser undertakes to
               refrain from changing the financial year of any of the Group

               Price Payments have been made, unless pro forma financial
               statements as at 31st December are issued every year (as audited

               being specified that the maximum amount to be paid by the
               Purchaser to the Seller in that respect is capped at EUR 750,000

               Year 2006, EUR 1,000,000 (one million Euro) for the Subsequent
               Financial Year 2007 and EUR 1,000,000 (one million Euro) for the
               Subsequent Financial Year 2008 (each such payment, a
               "SUPPLEMENTARY PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENT").

          (d)  However, in the event that the aggregate amount paid under
               paragraph (c) above is less than EUR 1,275,000 (one million two
               hundred seventy five thousand Euro), the payment of the
               corresponding shortfall shall be deferred to the Subsequent
               Financial Year 2009 and will be payable up to 40% (forty percent)
               of the amount of EBITDA attained during such Financial Year (it
               being specified that such amount of EBITDA cannot, for the
               purpose of the calculation to be made pursuant to this paragraph
               (d), exceed EUR 1,700,000 (one million seven hundred thousand
               Euro), at the latest thirty (30) days following the delivery to
               the Seller of the Financial Statements relating to such Financial
               Year.

          (e)  The maximum amount required to be paid by the Purchaser to the
               Seller as Supplementary Purchase Price shall be EUR 2,750,000
               (two million seven hundred fifty thousand Euro). Once such amount
               has been paid by the Purchaser to the Seller in respect of
               Supplementary Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall have no further
               obligations to the Seller under this Clause 2.3.3. Some examples
               of the calculation of the Supplementary Purchase Price are set
               out in Schedule 2.2(e) hereof.

2.3.4     In the event of a transfer of securities issued by NEWCO to a third
          party (or of any similar transaction, such as a transfer of assets,
          loan of securities or of assets, etc.) before the date of full payment
          of the Earning Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall continue to be
          required to effect such payment except if (i) the obligation to comply
          with the rights to the Supplementary Purchase Price (the "Rights to
          the SPP") has been assigned to such third party, or if (ii) the Rights
          to the SPP are repaid by anticipation, up to the amount determined
          pursuant to the provisions set out in paragraphs (b) to (e) above, it
          being specified that the calculation of such Rights shall be made on
          the basis of the higher EBITDA amount as between (i) the EBITDA for
          the Subsequent Financial Year immediately preceding the financial year
          during which the transfer of the NEWCO's securities shall have
          occurred and (ii) EUR 1,700,000 (one million seven hundred thousand
          Euro).

               advantage in favour of the employees of the Companies, pending or
               contemplated;

          -    the employees of the Companies do not benefit from any provision,
               in case of dismissal or redundancy, pursuant to which they could
               have a claim against any of the Companies for the payment of
               amounts exceeding those provided by the law or the applicable
               collective bargaining agreement;

               provisions set out by the law and applicable collective

          -    the Companies have not entered into fixed term employment
               contracts other than when and as permitted by law and no contract
               of this nature, terminated or pending on the date hereof, is
               likely to be reclassified as an indefinite duration employment
               contract;

          -    no employer-employee conflict affects or threatens to affect the
               Companies, and there is no indication that could lead one to

8         INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER

8.1       Principle

          Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Seller hereby
          undertakes to indemnify the Purchaser for any loss (a "PURCHASER
          LOSS") actually suffered by the Purchaser or by the Group Companies as
          a result of any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and
          warranties or covenants of the Seller hereunder.

          Any indemnification due by the Seller with respect to a Purchaser Loss
          shall be paid to the Purchaser or to the Group Company designated by
          the Purchaser:

          (a)  either, within eight (8) days following the date of a written
               agreement reached between the Purchaser and the Seller on the
               corresponding indemnification;

          (c)  or, in the event that the Purchaser Claim has been made in
               compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Seller
               has not contested such Purchaser Claim within sixty (60) days
               following the notification thereof;

          (d)  or, in case of disagreement between the parties with respect to a
               Purchaser Claim, within eight (8) days following a court decision
               becoming definitive and binding pursuant to a proceeding
               initiated in compliance with Clause 10.9.2 hereof, or following
               the settlement agreement signed between the parties and in
               relation to such conflict.

          In order to be valid, any claims made by the Purchaser under the terms
          of this Clause 8 (a "PURCHASER Claim") shall be made in writing as
          follows (failing which such Purchaser Claim shall be forfeited):

8.2.1     each Purchaser Claim shall state, with reasonable detail, the specific
          grounds therefore and the amount claimed; and

8.2.2     each Purchaser Claim shall be delivered by the Purchaser to the Seller

          the circumstances giving rise to such

<PAGE>

          Purchaser Claim or, if the circumstances so require (e.g., in the case
          of emergency proceedings or when the response to a notification must
          be given within a time period subject to forfeiting its rights), the
          Purchaser will send the written notification to the Seller with
          sufficient time to permit the Seller to take the actions referred to
          in Clause 8.4.

8.3       Period for making of Purchaser Claims

          Any Purchaser Claims may give rise to indemnification only if notified
          by the Purchaser to the Seller prior to the expiration of a period of
          18 months from the Closing Date, except for Purchaser Claims in
          relation to Tax which shall be validly notified to the Seller prior to
          the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations applicable to
          the facts or actions in question.

8.4       Third-Party Purchaser Claims

          In the event that a Purchaser Claim is made on the basis of a claim
          made by a third party against a Group Company, the Seller may retain
          counsel at its own expense in order to follow the evolution of third
          party claims and the way they are managed and to communicate to the
          Purchaser and its counsel any arguments to defend the interests at
          stake, it being specified that the Purchaser and/or the Group Company
          involved shall remain entitled to defend the interests of the Group
          Company involved. At the Seller's request, the Purchaser shall cause
          said Group Company to present all arguments, submit all pleadings,
          take all actions, file all counterclaims and more generally cooperate
          with the Seller and the counsel appointed by the Seller. The Purchaser
          shall provide, and shall cause the Group Companies to provide, the
          Seller, for information purposes, with all information or documents in
          relation to said third-party claim which the Seller may reasonably
          request. However, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Group
          Companies not to, settle, admit liability or withdraw any claim in
          connection with said third-party claim without the prior written
          consent of the Seller.

8.5       Actual Nature of Purchaser Loss

8.5.1     A Purchaser Loss shall be eligible for indemnification by the Seller
          to the extent and only to the extent such Purchaser Loss has actually
          been sustained by the Purchaser or by any of the Group Companies.

8.5.2     Any deficiency assessed by the tax authorities the sole effect of
          which is to shift a tax liability from one fiscal year to another
          shall give rise to indemnification by the Seller only insofar as a
          Group Company is required to pay a penalty, cost or interest charge in
          relation thereto.

8.5.3     Any deficiency assessed with regard to a tax, such as a value-added
          tax, shall give rise to indemnification by the Seller only insofar as
          a Group Company is required to pay a penalty, cost or interest charge
          in relation thereto and provided that it is recoverable in full.

8.5.4     Any indemnification due by the Seller shall be calculated taking into
          account the effect of any net tax savings effectively realized by the
          Group Companies as a result of the tax deductibility of the relevant
          Purchaser Loss.

8.5.5     For purposes of calculation of the indemnification due by the Seller,
          any amounts paid to the Purchaser or the Group Companies under
          insurance policies or any other amount directly connected to the Loss
          concerned, and compensating the Purchaser Loss for which the Purchaser
          Claim is made shall be deducted. If the Seller pays an indemnity in
          respect of a Purchaser Loss and the Purchaser or any of the Group
          Companies subsequently recovers or may recover (even after expiration
          of the relevant time limit set forth in Clause 8.3) all or part of the
          amount of such indemnity from a third party (including insurance
          companies or tax authorities), the Purchaser shall take or shall cause
          the Group Companies to take all reasonable steps to recover such
          amount and, immediately upon recovery thereof, shall pay, or cause the
          Group Companies to pay, to the Seller the amount thereby recovered,
          net of any relating taxes. In the event that the amounts paid
          following such recovery shall result in the Purchaser Loss(es)
          becoming inferior to the amount (Deductible) specified in Clause
          8.6.1, the Purchaser shall repay to the Seller the full amount paid by
          the Seller in respect of all the relevant Purchaser Loss(es).

<PAGE>

8.5.6     Any indemnification due by the Seller shall be based on the amount of
          the Purchaser Loss actually suffered by the Group Companies, and shall
          be computed without regard to any multiple, price-earnings or
          equivalent ratio implicit in negotiating and/or settling the
          Shareholder Loan Transfer Amount.

8.5.7     Only direct Purchaser Losses sustained by the Purchaser or the Group
          Companies shall be eligible for indemnification by the Seller.

8.5.8     Any indemnification due by the Seller shall in all cases be limited to
          the amount of the Purchaser Loss, notwithstanding the fact that the
          event giving rise to the Seller's obligation may originate from an
          inaccuracy of several of the representations made under Clause 5
          hereof.

8.5.9     If a Purchaser Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent
          only, no indemnification shall be due unless and until such Loss
          becomes due.

8.5.10    In the event that a Group Company is required to make a payment in
          connection with a third-party claim, the Seller shall not be required
          to make any indemnification payment in connection thereto before such
          payment has actually been made by such Group Company.

8.5.11    The Seller shall not be held liable for indemnification of any
          Purchaser Loss sustained by a Group Company, to the extent that such
          Purchaser Loss is directly compensated by a gain accruing to the
          benefit of another Group Company and corresponding to the Loss
          suffered by an other Group Company.

8.6       Determination of Indemnification

8.6.1     No indemnification shall be due by the Seller unless the aggregate
          amount of the indemnification owed by the Seller exceeds (after all
          deductions pursuant to this Article 8) EUR 50,000 (fifty thousand
          Euro), and such indemnification shall then become due for the total
          aggregated amount exceeding such deductible amount.

8.6.2     In respect of individual Purchaser Claims, the Purchaser shall be
          entitled to indemnification only if the amount of the indemnification
          exceeds EUR 1,500 (one thousand and five hundred Euro) per such
          individual Purchaser Claim and any indemnification which would be owed
          by the Seller but for this Clause 8.6.2 (i.e., an individual amount
          not exceeding EUR 1,500 (one thousand and five hundred Euro)) shall
          not be counted towards the amount set forth in Clause 8.6.1 above.

8.6.3     The total indemnification that may be due by the Seller to the
          Purchaser (the "TOTAL INDEMNIFICATION") shall not exceed, and the
          liability of the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder shall be limited
          to, the aggregate of the total amount of the Shareholder Loan Transfer
          Amount (as such term is defined in Clause 1.1) and such
          indemnification shall be payable solely by way of set off
          (compensation) by the Purchaser of such Total Indemnification against
          the Shareholder Loan Transfer Amount Payment, at such times and in
          such amounts as such Shareholder Loan Transfer Amount are required to
          be made by the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 2.2 hereof.

8.7       Exonerating and Mitigating Factors

8.7.1     The Seller shall not be held liable for indemnification to the extent
          the Purchaser Loss for which indemnification is sought may be
          attributed to any voluntary action or omission on the part of the
          Purchaser and/or the Group Companies after the Closing Date or any
          change in accounting methods (including consolidation methods) or
          policies of the Group Companies after such date, except if the
          accounting principles applied before the Closing Date did not complied
          with applicable laws.

8.7.2     The Seller shall not be held liable in respect of any breach of
          representation or warranty which would not have occurred but for any
          Tax related law passed after the date of this Agreement with
          retroactive effect.

<PAGE>

8.7.3     The Purchaser, upon learning of the situation giving rise or likely to
          give rise to a Purchaser Loss, shall use its best efforts to mitigate
          the corresponding Purchaser Loss.

8.7.4     In the event that a situation giving rise to a Purchaser Claim is
          curable, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts in order to procure
          that such a cure be implemented.

8.7.5     The Seller shall not be held liable for indemnification if the
          Purchaser has not exercised, or has not caused the Group Companies to
          exercise, any and all rights the Purchaser or the Group Companies may
          have against third parties in connection with the corresponding
          Purchaser Loss.

8.7.6     It is specified, for the sake of clarity, that the Seller shall not be
          held liable for indemnification in respect of any facts or matters
          which were disclosed in any Exhibit attached hereto (it being
          specified that the information and documents appearing in one of the
          Exhibit relate to the representations and warranties to which the
          Exhibit in question refers but shall also be deemed to relate to any
          other representation or warranty to which the said Exhibit or
          information and documents may apply). No indemnification shall be owed
          by the Seller in connection with liabilities reserved against in the
          Closing Financial Statements up to the amounts in line with the
          Accounting Principles.

8.8       Exclusivity of Remedy

          The indemnification provided in this Clause 8.8 shall be the exclusive
          remedy of the Purchaser against the Seller in respect of any breach of
          any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking of the Seller.

8.9       No other representations by Seller

          The Seller neither makes any representation nor gives any warranty to
          the Purchaser other than as specifically provided for in Clause 5.
          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller makes no
          representation and gives no warranty to the Purchaser with respect to
          financial projections, budgets or management analyses relating to any
          of the Group Companies and to the future profitability and financial
          performance of any of the Group Companies

9         INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER

          Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby
          undertakes to indemnify the Seller for all damages, losses and
          reasonable expenses (collectively a "SELLER LOSS") actually suffered
          by the Seller or by any company in the Seller Group as a result of any
          inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties or
          covenants of the Purchaser hereunder.

10        GENERAL

10.1      Expenses

          Each Party shall bear the fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in
          respect of its respective counsel, accountants, brokers and other
          business advisers in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
          execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of
          the transactions contemplated hereby. Any and all stamp or
          registration duties which may be assessed on account of any act or
          failure to act of any Party, whether intentionally or otherwise, shall
          be borne entirely by such Party, it being understood, for the
          avoidance of doubt, that all registration and stamp duties (and any
          late payment interest or penalties thereon) payable in relation to the
          acquisition of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be for
          the sole account of the Purchaser.

10.2      Entire Agreement; Modification

          This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) and any
          document delivered by the Seller or the Buyer in accordance herewith,

<PAGE>

          Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all
          prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written. This
          Agreement shall not be modified, changed, discharged or terminated
          except by a written agreement signed by all of the Parties.

10.3      Benefits

          This Agreement is intended to be solely for the benefit of the Parties

          agreement delivered or executed as part of the transactions

          party that is not a party to this Agreement.

10.4      Assignment

          This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior
          written consent of the other Party. A sale of substantially all of the
          assets of a Party or the Company or a merger with another Person other
          than an Affiliate of such Party or the Company shall be deemed to be
          an assignment for the purposes of this Agreement.

10.5      Severability

          The invalidity of all or any part of any Article of this Agreement
          shall not render the remainder of that Article or of this Agreement
          invalid, and the Agreement shall be carried out as nearly as possible
          according to its original terms and intent. If any provision of this
          Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be
          interpreted and enforced only to the extent that the provision is
          enforceable.

10.6      Notices

          All notices, requests, demands, and other communications given or made
          hereunder (a "NOTICE") shall be in writing and shall be delivered
