Exhibit 10.8

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Restated Agreement”), made as of this
24th day of February, 2010, is entered into by BioClinica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Ted Kaminer (the “Employee”).

     WHEREAS, the Employee is currently a party to an employment agreement with the Company dated
as of February 6, 2003, as amended and restated on December 31 , 2008 (the “Prior Employment
Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Employee, and the Employee desires to
continue to be employed by the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee desire to amend and restate the terms and conditions of
the Prior Agreement in order to clarify the parties understandings regarding treatment of the
Employee’s equity awards upon a Change in Control (as defined below).

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained in this
Restated Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged by the parties to this Restated Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1. Term of Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee, and the Employee
hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms set forth in this Restated Agreement,
for the period commencing on February 24, 2010 and ending on February 24, 2011 (such period, as it
may be extended, the “Employment Period”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4; provided, however, that the Employment Period shall
automatically renew for successive 12 month terms unless either party provides the notice of
termination set forth in Section 4.5 below.

2. Title; Capacity. The Employee shall serve as Executive Vice President of Finance and
Administration and Chief Financial Officer or in such other reasonably comparable position as the
Company or its Board of Directors (the “Board”) may determine from time to time. The Employee
shall be based at the Company’s headquarters in Newtown, Pennsylvania, or such place or places in
the continental United States as the Board shall reasonably determine. The Employee shall be
subject to the supervision of, and shall have such authority as is delegated to the Employee by,
the Board, President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

     The Employee hereby accepts such employment and agrees to undertake the duties and
responsibilities inherent in such position and such other duties and responsibilities as the Board
or its designee shall from time to time reasonably assign to the Employee. The Employee agrees to
devote his entire business time, attention and energies to the business and interests of the
Company during the Employment Period; provided, that, the Employee may serve as a non-executive
director or trustee of other companies or entities so long as such service does not unreasonably
interfere with the Employee’s duties hereunder. The Employee agrees to abide by the rules,
regulations, instructions, personnel practices and policies of the Company and any changes therein
which may be adopted from time to time by the Company. The Employee further agrees to abide by the
applicable rules, practices, policies, restrictions and principles

 

 

outlined by the Board in its Corporate Policy Governance Manual and amendments adopted
thereto.

3. Compensation and Benefits.

     3.1 Salary. The Company shall pay the Employee, in periodic installments in
accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices, an annual base salary of $270,000
effective February 24, 2010.

     3.2 Fringe Benefits. The Employee shall be entitled to participate in all bonus and
benefit programs that the Company establishes and makes available to its senior executives, if any,
to the extent that Employee’s position, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make
him eligible to participate. The Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid vacation per
year, to be taken at such times as may be approved by the Chief Executive Officer.

     3.3 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all
reasonable travel, entertainment and other expenses incurred or paid by the Employee in connection
with, or related to, the performance of his duties, responsibilities or services under this
Restated Agreement, in accordance with policies and procedures, and subject to limitations, adopted
by the Company or the Board from time to time. The Employee must submit to the Company receipts
and other details of each such expense, in the form required by the Company within sixty (60) days
after the later of (i) the Employee’s incurrence of such expense or (ii) the Employee’s receipt of
the invoice for such expense. If such expense qualifies for reimbursement, then the Company will
reimburse the Employee the expense within thirty (30) days thereafter. In no event will such
expense be reimbursed after the close of the calendar year following the calendar year in which
that expense is incurred. The amount of reimbursements to which the Employee may become entitled
in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement
hereunder in any other calendar year. The Employee’s right to reimbursement cannot be liquidated
or exchanged for any other benefit or payment.

     3.4 Bonuses; Incentive Compensation. The Employee shall be eligible to receive an
annual bonus (the “MIP Bonus”) up to a maximum amount equal to 45% of the Employee’s annual base
salary upon the achievement of certain milestones as set forth in an annual Management Incentive
Plan. Additional milestones may be established to increase the MIP Bonus to a maximum amount equal
to 90% of the Employee’s annual base salary. The specific annual milestones will be set each year
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Any MIP Bonus awarded to the Employee
shall be paid by the 15th day of the third month following the close of the calendar year for which
such bonus is earned or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event shall
such payment be made prior to the first business day in January in the calendar year immediately
following the calendar year for which that bonus is earned or after April 30 of that calendar year.

     3.5 Equity Grants. In addition to the stock options previously granted to the
Employee, the Employee shall be eligible for periodic grants of stock options or other equity
awards under the Company’s equity award program, subject to the Employee’s continued employment
hereunder. The term, exercise price (if applicable), vesting period, any post-employment
provisions (including post-employment exercise periods) and the remaining

2

 

provisions of each stock option or other equity award granted pursuant to this Section 3.5
shall, subject to the express provisions of this Restated Agreement, be determined by the Board (or
committee thereof) at the time of grant.

4. Termination of Employment Period. The employment of the Employee by the Company
pursuant to this Restated Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following:

     4.1 Expiration of the Employment Period;

     4.2 At the election of the Company, for Cause (as defined below), immediately upon written
notice by the Company to the Employee, which notice shall identify the Cause upon which the
termination is based. For the purposes of this Section 4.2, “Cause” shall mean that (i) the
Employee has repeatedly failed to perform his assigned duties for the Company after 10 days written
notice and an opportunity to cure, (ii) the Employee has engaged in dishonesty, gross negligence or
misconduct materially detrimental to the Company’s interest, or (iii) the conviction of the
Employee of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by the Employee to, any crime
involving moral turpitude or any felony;

     4.3 At the election of the Employee, for Good Reason (as defined below), immediately upon
written notice by the Employee to the Company, which notice shall identify the Good Reason upon
which the termination is based. For the purposes of this Section 4.3, “Good Reason” for
termination shall mean (i) a material adverse change in the Employee’s authority, duties or
compensation without the prior written consent of the Employee, (ii) a material breach by the
Company of the terms of this Restated Agreement, which breach is not remedied by the Company within
10 days following written notice from the Employee to the Company notifying it of such breach or
(iii) the relocation of the Employee’s place of work more than 50 miles from the Company’s current
executive offices;

     4.4 Upon the death or disability of the Employee. As used in this Restated Agreement, the
term “disability” shall mean the inability of the Employee, due to a physical or mental disability,
for a period of 90 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 360-day period, to perform the
services contemplated under this Restated Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation as
that term is defined under state or federal law. A determination of disability shall be made by a
physician satisfactory to both the Employee and the Company; provided, that, if the
Employee and the Company do not agree on a physician, the Employee and the Company shall each
select a physician and these two together shall select a third physician, whose determination as to
disability shall be binding on all parties; or

     4.5 At the election of either party, upon not less than 180 days’ prior written notice of
termination (the “Termination Notice Period”); provided, however, that if the
Company pays the severance amount set forth in Section 5.1(b) below, then the Termination Notice
Period shall automatically end on the date the Severance Period (as defined below) begins.

5. Effect of Termination.

     5.1 Payments Upon Termination.

3

 

          (a) In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2,
and Section 4.4 or by the Employee pursuant to Section 4.5, the Company shall pay to the Employee
the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to him under Section 3 through the last day of his
actual employment by the Company.

          (b) In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee pursuant to Section
4.3 or by the Company pursuant to Section 4.5, the Employee shall be entitled to the following
payments and benefits, provided the Employee executes a mutual general release and waiver in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Board (the “Release”) within 21 days (or 45 days if such longer
period is required under law) and such Release becomes effective and enforceable in accordance with
applicable law after the expiration of any applicable revocation period:

               (A) The Company shall continue to pay to the Employee his salary as in effect on the date of
termination for a period of 180 days (the “Severance Period”). Such salary continuation payments
shall be made at periodic intervals in accordance with the Company’s normal payment practices for
salaried employees, beginning with the first pay date within the 60-day period following the
Employee’s Separation from Service due to such termination on which the requisite Release is
effective following the expiration of any applicable revocation period, but in no event will the
first such payment be made later than the last day of such 60-day period on which the Release is so
effective.

               (B) The Company shall pay a pro rata amount of the Employee’s target annual bonus for the year
of termination with such pro rata amount based on the sum of (1) the number of days of service
completed in the year of termination, plus (2) the Severance Period, to be paid within the 60-day
period following the Employee’s Separation from Service due to such termination on which the
requisite Release is effective following the expiration of any applicable revocation period, but in
no event will the first such payment be made later than the last day of such 60-day period on which
the Release is so effective.

               (C) Should the Employee elect under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), Section 4980B to continue health care coverage under the Company’s group health plan for
himself, his spouse and his eligible dependents following such termination date, then the Company
shall provide such continued health care coverage at the Company’s expense until the earlier of (i)
the expiration of the 180-day period measured from the date of such termination or (ii) the first
date the Employee is covered under another employer’s heath benefit program which provides
substantially the same level of benefits without exclusion for pre-existing medical conditions.
In the event the Company’s provision of such continued health care coverage results in the
recognition of taxable income (whether for federal, state or local income tax purposes) by the
Employee, then the Company shall report such taxable income as taxable W-2 wages and collect the
applicable withholding taxes, and the Employee shall be responsible for the payment of any
additional income and employment tax liability resulting from such coverage. To the extent the
health care coverage under this Section 5.1(b)(C) is to be provided through a self-funded program
maintained by the Company, the Employee shall directly pay for the costs to obtain such health care
coverage and shall, within 30 days after each periodic payment for a reimbursable health care
coverage expense under this Section 5.1(b)(C), submit appropriate evidence of such payment to the
Company for reimbursement, and the

4

 

Company shall pay such reimbursement on the 30th day following receipt of the submission.
During the period such health care coverage remains in effect hereunder, the following provisions
shall govern the arrangement: (a) the amount of the health care costs eligible for reimbursement in
any one calendar year of such coverage shall not affect the amount of such costs eligible for
reimbursement in any other calendar year for which such reimbursement is to be provided hereunder;
(ii) no costs shall be reimbursed after the close of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which those costs were incurred; and (iii) the Employee’s right to the reimbursement of such
costs cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. In the event the reimbursement of
health care coverage results in the recognition of taxable income (whether for federal, state or
local income tax purposes) by the Employee, then the Company shall make an additional payment (the
“Health Care Gross-Up Payment”) to the Employee in a dollar amount to fully cover all taxes payable
by the Employee on the income recognized with respect to the reimbursed health care coverage,
including taxes imposed upon the Health Care Gross-Up Payment. The Health Care Gross-Up Payment
shall be paid to the Employee at the time the related taxes are remitted to the tax authorities.

               (D) The Company shall pay the Employee a lump sum cash payment, not to exceed $5,000, to cover
the cost to obtain post-employment continued coverage under life and accidental death or
dismemberment insurance and disability insurance plans for a period of 180 days following the date
of termination. Such payment shall be made on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the
first calendar month within the 60-day period measured from the Employee’s Separation from Service,
that is coincident with or next following the date on which the required Release is effective
following the expiration of any applicable revocation period or (ii) the last business day of such
60-day period on which such Release is effective following the expiration of any applicable
revocation period.

               (E) All outstanding options or other equity awards held by the Employee shall continue to vest
for a period of 180 days following such termination.

          Any payments and benefits payable pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall immediately cease if
the Employee fails to be reasonably cooperative, responsive or available for reasonable requests by
the Company to the Employee to assist the Company pertaining to areas of the Company’s business
that the Employee is familiar with as a result of her employment. The payment to the Employee of
the amounts payable under this Section 5.1(b) shall constitute the sole remedy of the Employee in
the event of a termination of the Employee’s employment in the circumstances set forth in this
Section 5.1(b).

          (c) Change in Control. (i) In the event that there shall be a Change in Control (as
defined below) of the Company or in any person directly or indirectly presently controlling the
Company, as defined in paragraph (ii) below, all options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Company and other equity awards granted to the Employee shall vest and become immediately
exercisable by the Employee for a period of not less than one year after the date of such Change in
Control (or earlier termination of such equity awards).

          (d) For purposes of this Restated Agreement, a Change in Control of the Company, or in any
person directly or indirectly controlling the Company, shall mean:

5

 

               (A) A Change in Control as such term is presently defined in Regulation 240.12b-2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act); or

               (B) If any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act)
other than the Company or any “person” who on the date of this Restated Agreement is a director or
officer of the Company, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13(d)-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing at least fifty
(50%) percent of the voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, unless such person
becomes such a beneficial owner as a result of a transaction approved by a majority of the board of
directors of the Company; or

               (C) If during the term of this Restated Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such
period constitute the Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
thereof, unless the election of each director who is not a director at the beginning of such period
has been approved in advance by directors representing at least a majority of the directors then in
office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

     5.2 Section 409A. Certain payments contemplated by this Restated Agreement may be
“deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, the following
provisions shall be in effect for purposes of avoiding or mitigating any adverse tax consequences
to the Employee under Code Section 409A.

          (a) It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Restated Agreement comply with
all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. Accordingly, all provisions of this Restated
Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the
applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury Regulations
thereunder and such provisions shall be deemed amended to comply with Code Section 409A and the
applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.

          (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Restated Agreement, no payments or
benefits to which the Employee may become entitled under Section 5 of this Restated Agreement shall
be made or provided to him prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period
measured from the date of his Separation from Service with the Company or (ii) the date of his
death, if the Employee is deemed, pursuant to the procedures established by the Compensation
Committee in accordance with the applicable standards of Code Section 409A and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder and applied on a consistent basis for all non-qualified deferred
compensation plans of the Employer Group subject to Code Section 409A, to be a “specified employee”
at the time of such Separation from Service and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in
order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of the
applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2) deferral period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to
this Section 4.3 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments
in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum, and any
remaining payments and benefits due under this Restated Agreement shall be paid or provided in
accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. The specified employees
subject to such a delayed commencement date shall be identified on December 31 of each

6

 

calendar year. If the Employee is so identified on any such December 31, he shall have
specified employee status for the twelve (12)-month period beginning on April 1 of the following
calendar year. For purposes of this Restated Agreement, including (without limitation) this
Section 5.3(b), “Separation from Service” shall mean a separation from service as defined under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

     5.3 Survival. The provisions of Sections 5.1(b), 5.2, 8.3, 8.5 and 8.9 shall survive
the termination of this Restated Agreement.

6. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. The Employee shall execute, if not previously
executed and still in effect, simultaneously with the execution of this Restated Agreement, or
otherwise upon the request of the Company, the Company’s customary form of Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreement and form of Invention Assignment and Confidential Information Agreement,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively.

7. Other Agreements. The Employee represents that his performance of all the terms of this
Restated Agreement and the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company do not and will
not breach any agreement with any prior employer or other party to which the Employee is a party
(including without limitation any nondisclosure or non-competition agreement). Any agreement to
which the Employee is a party relating to nondisclosure, non-competition or non-solicitation of
employees or customers is listed on Schedule A attached hereto.

8. Miscellaneous.

     8.1 Notices. Any notices delivered under this Restated Agreement shall be deemed duly
delivered four business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or one business day after it is sent for next-business day delivery via
a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in each case to the address of the recipient set
forth on the signature page hereto. Either party may change the address to which notices are to be
delivered by giving notice of such change to the other party in the manner set forth in this
Section 8.1.

     8.2 Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Restated
Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular
forms of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.

     8.3 Entire Agreement. This Restated Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or
oral, relating to the subject matter of this Restated Agreement (including, without limitation, the
Prior Employment Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent there is an
inconsistency in the terms of this Agreement and the Employee’s executive retention agreement,
option agreement(s), equity award agreement(s) or such other agreements relating to the subject
matter of this Restated Agreement, the provision(s) in the agreement that are most favorable to the
Employee shall govern.

     8.4 Amendment. This Restated Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written
instrument executed by both the Company and the Employee.

7

 

     8.5 Governing Law. This Restated Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without reference to the conflicts of
laws provisions thereof). Any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to
any provision of this Restated Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within Pennsylvania), and the Company and
the Employee each consents to the jurisdiction of such a court. The Company and the Employee each
hereby irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding
arising under or relating to any provision of this Restated Agreement.

     8.6 Successors and Assigns. This Restated Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any
corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to the
Company’s assets or business; provided, however, that the obligations of the
Employee are personal and shall not be assigned by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company is merged with or into a third party which is engaged in multiple lines of business, or if
a third party engaged in multiple lines of business succeeds to the Company’s assets or business,
then for purposes of this Restated Agreement, the term “Company” shall mean and refer to the
business of the Company as it existed immediately prior to such event and as it subsequently
develops and not to the third party’s other businesses.

     8.7 Waivers. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this
Restated Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given
by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be
construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

     8.8 Captions. The captions of the sections of this Restated Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any
section of this Restated Agreement.

     8.9 Severability. In case any provision of this Restated Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

BIOCLINICA, INC.

Amended and Restated Executive Retention Agreement

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE RETENTION AGREEMENT (the “Restated Agreement”) by and
between BioClinica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and [  ] (the
“Executive”) is made as of December 31, 2008 (the “Effective Date”).

     WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly-held corporations, the
possibility of a change in control of the Company exists and that such possibility, and the
uncertainty and questions which it may raise among key personnel, may result in the departure or
distraction of key personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders, and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate
steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued employment and dedication of the
Company’s key personnel without distraction from the possibility of a change in control of the
Company and related events and circumstances, and

     WHEREAS the Executive is a party to an Executive Retention Agreement with the Company dated as
of March 1, 2006 (the “Prior Agreement”), and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate the terms of the Prior
Agreement in order to bring these terms into documentary compliance with the final Treasury
Regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

     NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement for and in consideration of the Executive remaining in its
employ, the Company agrees that the Executive shall receive the severance benefits set forth in
this Restated Agreement in the event the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated
under the circumstances described below in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in
Section 1.1).

     1. Key Definitions.

     As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

          1.1 “Change in Control” means an event or occurrence set forth in any one or more of
subsections (a) through (d) below (including an event or occurrence that constitutes a Change in
Control under one of such subsections but is specifically exempted from another such subsection):

               (a) the acquisition by an 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”)) (a “Person”)
of beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company if, after such acquisition, such Person
beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3

 

 

promulgated under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of either (x) the total fair market value of the
then-outstanding shares of the Company’s stock (the “Outstanding Company Stock”) or (y) the
combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided,
however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not
constitute a Change in Control: (i) any acquisition of securities directly from the Company
(excluding an acquisition pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security
exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for common stock or voting securities of the
Company, unless the Person exercising, converting or exchanging such security acquired such
security directly from the Company or an underwriter or agent of the Company), (ii) any acquisition
by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (iv) any acquisition by

               (b) a change in the composition of the Board over a period of twelve (12) months or less such
that the Continuing Directors (as defined below) fail to constitute a majority of the Board (or, if
applicable, the Board of Directors of a successor corporation to the Company), where the term
“Continuing Director” means at any date a member of the Board (i) who was a member of the Board on
the date of the execution of the Prior Agreement or (ii) who was nominated or elected subsequent to
such date by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such
nomination or election or whose election to the Board was recommended or endorsed by at least a
majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election;
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from this clause (ii) any
individual whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an actual or threatened
election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents, by or on behalf of a person other than the Board; or

               (c) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or statutory
share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions over a 12-month period (a
“Business Combination”), unless, immediately following such Business Combination, each of the
following two conditions is satisfied: (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities

immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively; and (ii) no Person (excluding any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) maintained or sponsored by the Company or by the Acquiring
Corporation)

beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of common
stock of the Acquiring Corporation, or of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to
the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination); or

               (d) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company approved by the stockholders of the
Company.

          1.2 “Change in Control Date” means the first date during the Term (as defined in
Section 2) on which a Change in Control occurs.

          1.3 “Cause” means:

               (a) the Executive’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his reasonable
assigned duties as an officer of the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or any failure after the Executive gives notice of termination
for Good Reason), which failure is not cured within 30 days after a written demand for substantial
performance is received by the Executive from the Board of Directors of the Company which
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes the Executive has not
substantially performed the Executive’s duties; or

               (b) the conviction of the Executive of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo
contendere by the Executive to, any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony; or

               (c) the Executive’s commission of dishonesty or gross negligence which is materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Company; or

               (d) the Executive’s willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is

               (e) any material breach by the Executive of this Restated Agreement or any employment
agreement and related agreements with the Company, including, but not limited to, any
non-competition or non-solicitation provision, which breach is not cured within 30 days after a
written notice of such breach is received by the Executive from the Board of Directors of the
Company, which specifically identifies such breach.

     For purposes of this Section 1.3, no act or failure to act by the Executive shall be
considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith or without reasonable
belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive has an effective employment agreement with the
Company that contains a definition of “Cause” for purposes of termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company, the definition of “Cause” contained in such effective employment
agreement shall be used in this Restated Agreement.

          1.4 “Good Reason” means the occurrence, without the Executive’s written consent, of
any of the events or circumstances set forth in clauses (a) through (g) below.

3

 

Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such occurrence shall not be
deemed to constitute Good Reason if, prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of
Termination (each as defined in Section 3.2(a)) given by the Executive in respect thereof, such
event or circumstance has been fully corrected and the Executive has been reasonably compensated
for any losses or damages resulting therefrom (provided that such right of correction by the
Company shall only apply to the first Notice of Termination for Good Reason given by the
Executive):

               (a) the assignment to the Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s
authority or responsibilities taken as a whole in effect immediately prior to the earliest to occur
of (i) the Change in Control Date, (ii) the date of the execution by the Company of the initial
written agreement or instrument providing for the Change in Control or (iii) the date of the
adoption by the Board of Directors of a resolution providing for the Change in Control (with the
earliest to occur of such dates referred to herein as the “Measurement Date”), or any other action
or omission by the Company which results in a material diminution in such position, authority or
responsibilities; or

               (b) a reduction in the Executive’s annual base salary as in effect on the Measurement Date; or

               (c) the failure by the Company to (i) continue in effect any material compensation or benefit
plan or program (including without limitation any life insurance, medical, health and accident or
disability plan and any vacation or automobile program or policy) (a “Benefit Plan”) in which the
Executive participates or which is applicable to the Executive immediately prior to the Measurement
Date, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan, a
lump sum payment or increase in compensation) has been made with respect to such plan or program,
(ii) continue the Executive’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on
a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the
level of the Executive’s participation relative to other participants, than the basis existing
immediately prior to the Measurement Date or (iii) award cash bonuses to the Executive in amounts
and in a manner substantially consistent with past practice in light of the Company’s financial
performance; or

               (d) a change by the Company in the location at which the Executive performs his principal
duties for the Company to a new location that is outside a radius of 50 miles from the Executive’s
principal residence and outside a radius of 25 miles from the location at which the
Executive performed his principal duties for the Company immediately prior to the Measurement Date;
or

               (e) the failure of the Company to obtain the agreement from any successor to the Company to
assume and agree to perform this Restated Agreement, as required by Section 6.1; or

               (f) a purported termination of the Executive’s employment which is not effected pursuant to a
Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 3.2(a); or

4

 

               (g) any material breach by the Company of this Restated Agreement or any employment agreement
with the Executive, which breach is not cured within 30 days after a written notice of such breach
is received by the Company from the Executive, which specifically identifies such breach.

     The Executive’s right to terminate his employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by his
incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

               1.5 “Disability” means the Executive’s absence from the full-time performance of the
Executive’s duties with the Company for 180 consecutive calendar days as a result of incapacity due
to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected
by the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal
representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     2. Term of Agreement. This Restated Agreement, and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder, shall take effect upon the Effective Date and (except to the extent provided in
Section 4.2(b)) shall expire upon the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company more than 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date, (b) the date 24
months after the Change in Control Date, if the Executive is still employed by the Company as of
such later date, or (c) the fulfillment by the Company of all of its obligations under Sections 4
and 5.2 and 5.3 if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates within the period from 60
days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date.

     3. Employment Status; Termination Following Change in Control.

          3.1 Not an Employment Contract. The Executive acknowledges that this Restated
Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to
retain the Executive as an employee and that this Restated Agreement does not prevent the Executive
from terminating employment at any time.

          3.2 Termination of Employment.

               (a) If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term, any termination of the Executive’s
employment by the Company or by the Executive within 24 months following the Change in Control Date
(other than due to the death of the Executive) shall be communicated by a written notice to the
other party hereto (the “Notice of Termination”), given in accordance with Section 7. Any Notice
of Termination shall: (i) indicate the specific termination provision (if any) of this Restated
Agreement relied upon by the party giving such notice, (ii) to the extent applicable, set 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) specify the Date of Termination
(as defined below). The effective date of an employment termination shall be (i) the close of
business on the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which date may not be less than 15
days or more than 120 days after the date of delivery of such Notice of Termination) in the case of
a termination by the Company or by the Executive within 24 months following the Change in Control,
(ii) in the case of termination due

5

 

to the Executive’s death, the date of the Executive’s death, and (iii) in the case of the
Executive’s termination prior to the Change in Control, the date of such termination. In the event
the Company fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.2(a) regarding a Notice of Termination,
the purported termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to such Notice of Termination
shall not be effective for purposes of this Restated Agreement.

               (b) If a Change in Control Date occurs during the 60 days after the termination of the
Executive’s employment by the Company, the Company shall give the Executive notice of such Change
in Control.

               (c) 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 or Cause shall not waive any
right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the
Company, respectively, from asserting any such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or
the Company’s rights hereunder.

               (d) Any Notice of Termination for Cause given by the Company must be given within 90 days of
the discovery by the Board of the occurrence of the event(s) or circumstance(s) that constitute(s)
Cause. Prior to any Notice of Termination for Cause being given (and prior to any termination for
Cause being effective), the Executive shall be entitled to a hearing before the Board of Directors
of the Company at which he may, at his election, be represented by counsel and at which he shall
have a reasonable opportunity to be heard. Such hearing shall be held on not less than 15 days
prior written notice to the Executive stating the Board of Directors’ intention to terminate the
Executive for Cause and stating in detail the particular event(s) or circumstance(s) which the
Board of Directors believes constitutes Cause for termination.

               (e) Any Notice of Termination for Good Reason given by the Executive must be given within 90
days of the discovery by the Executive of the occurrence of the event(s) or circumstance(s) that
constitute(s) Good Reason.

     4. Benefits to Executive.

          4.1 Stock Acceleration. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company
other than for Cause, or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, during the
Pre-Closing Period or at any time thereafter during the remainder (if any) of the Term, then,
effective upon such termination of employment, (a) each outstanding option to purchase shares of
Common Stock of the Company held at that time by the Executive shall become immediately exercisable
in full and shares of Common Stock of the Company received upon exercise of any options will no
longer be subject to a right of repurchase by the Company, and (b) each outstanding restricted
stock award shall be deemed to be fully vested and will no longer be subject to a right of
repurchase by the Company. Each option shall remain so exercisable until the expiration date of
the option term or (if earlier) the termination of that option in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable stock option agreement. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the Pre-Closing Period
means the period commencing with the Company’s execution of the definitive agreement for a Change
in Control transaction and ending upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Change in Control
contemplated by such definitive agreement or

6

 

(ii) the termination of such definitive agreement without the consummation of the contemplated
Change in Control.

          4.2 Compensation. If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term and the
Executive’s employment with the Company terminates within the period from 60 days prior to the
Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, the Executive shall be
entitled to the following benefits:

               (a) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment with
the Company is terminated by the Company (other than for Cause, Disability or death) or by the
Executive for Good Reason within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24
months following the Change in Control Date, then, subject to Section 4.2(a)(v) below, the
Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:

                    (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive in cash the aggregate of the following amounts:

                         (1) The Company shall make a lump sum cash payment to the Executive equal to (A) the
Executive’s base salary through the Date of Termination, (B) the product of (x) the greater of (i)
Executive’s largest annual bonus for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years and (ii)
the Executive’s target annual bonus at time of termination and (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the
denominator of which is 365 and (C) any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not
previously paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (A) and (C) shall be hereinafter
referred to as the “Accrued Obligations” and the dollar amount described in clause (B) shall be
hereinafter referred to as the “Pro-Rata Bonus” ). Payment of the Accrued Obligations shall be
made on the Date of Termination, and the payment of the Pro-Rata Bonus shall be made on the 30th
day following the later of the Executive’s Separation from Service or the Change in Control Date
(the “Applicable Date”) or as soon as administratively practicable following such scheduled payment
date, but in no event later than the close of the calendar year in which the Applicable Date occurs
or (if later) the 15th day of the third calendar month following that date.

                         (2) Any compensation deferred on behalf of the Executive on the Date of Termination or the
Change in Control Date under any deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), shall be paid at the time or times specified for payment
pursuant to the provisions of such plan.

                         (3) The Company shall, in a series of eighteen (18) successive equal monthly installments
pursuant to the Company’s normal payment practices, pay in cash to the Executive an amount equal to
(A) 1.5 multiplied by (B) the sum of (x) the greater of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary for
the most recently completed fiscal year or (ii) the Executive’s current annual base salary at the
time of termination and (y) the greater of (i) Executive’s largest annual bonus for the most
recently completed three (3) fiscal years and (ii) the Executive’s target annual bonus at time of
termination. The first such installment shall be paid on the 30th day following the Applicable
Date or as soon as administratively practicable

7

 

following such scheduled payment date, but in no event later than the close of the calendar
year in which the Applicable Date occurs or (if later) the 15th day of the third calendar month
following that date.

                         (4) The Company shall make a lump sum cash payment, not to exceed $15,000, to cover the cost
to obtain post-employment continued coverage under life and accidental death or dismemberment
insurance and disability insurance plans for a period of eighteen (18) months following such
termination date. Such payment shall be made to the Executive on the 30th day following
the Applicable Date or as soon as administratively practicable following such scheduled payment
date, but in no event later than the close of the calendar year in which the Applicable Date occurs
or (if later) the 15th day of the third calendar month following that date.

                    (ii) For a period not to exceed eighteen (18) months measured from the Applicable Date, the
Company shall, if the Executive elects under Code Section 4980B to continue health care coverage
under the Company’s group health plan for himself, his spouse and his eligible dependents following
the Date of Termination, provide such continued health care coverage at the Company’s expense;
provided, however, that such coverage at the Company’s expense shall immediately
terminate on the date the Executive is first covered under another employer’s heath benefit program
which provides substantially the same level of benefits without exclusion for pre-existing medical
conditions (the period of coverage as so terminated shall be referred to as the “Coverage Period”).
Such health care coverage shall be at the same level and provide the same type of benefits as
would have been provided to them if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated and they had
continued to be covered under the applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Measurement Date or, if
more favorable to the Executive and his family, in effect generally at any time thereafter with
respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. Such continued
health care coverage shall be provided pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph (ii) even if
such coverage extends beyond the period of statutorily-required coverage under Code Section 4980B,
but subject to earlier termination in accordance with the above proviso relating to coverage under
another employer’s plan. In the event the Company’s provision of such continued health care
coverage results in the recognition of taxable income (whether for federal, state or local income
tax purposes) by the Executive, then the Company shall report such taxable income as taxable W-2
wages and collect the applicable withholding taxes, and the Executive shall be responsible for the
payment of any additional income and employment tax liability resulting from such coverage. To the
extent the health coverage under this Section 4.2(a)(ii) is to be provided through a self-funded
program maintained by the Company, the Executive shall directly pay for the costs to obtain such
health coverage and the Company shall reimburse the Executive for such costs incurred during the
Coverage Period. The Executive shall, within 30 days after each periodic payment for a
reimbursable health or medical care expense under this Section 4.2(a)(ii), submit appropriate
evidence of such payment to the Company for reimbursement, and the Company shall pay such
reimbursement on the 30th day following receipt of the submission. In the event such reimbursement
of health care coverage during the Coverage Period results in the recognition of taxable income
(whether for federal, state, or local income tax purposes) by the Executive, then the Company shall
make an additional payment (the “Health Care Gross-Up Payment”) to the Executive in a dollar amount
to fully cover all taxes payable by the Executive on the income recognized with respect to the
reimbursed health care coverage, including taxes

8

 

imposed upon the Health Care Gross-Up Payment. The Heath Care Gross-Up Payment shall be paid
to the Executive at the time the related taxes are remitted to the tax authorities.

     In the event that the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs prior to the Change in Control
Date, then the Coverage Period hereunder shall be reduced by the period from the Executive’s Date
of Termination to the Change in Control Date (the “Interim Period”) and the Company shall reimburse
the Executive for the cost of such coverage paid by the Executive during the Interim Period. The
Executive shall, within 30 days after the Change in Control Date, submit appropriate evidence of
such costs to the Company for reimbursement, and the Company shall pay such reimbursement on the
30th day following receipt of submission.

     During the period health care coverage remains in effect hereunder, the following provisions
shall govern the arrangement: (i) the amount of the health care costs eligible for reimbursement in
any one calendar year of such coverage shall not affect the amount of such costs eligible for
reimbursement in any other calendar year for which such reimbursement is to be provided hereunder;
(ii) no costs shall be reimbursed after the close of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which those costs were incurred; and (iii) the Executive’s right to the reimbursement of such
costs cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

     For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the
Executive for retiree benefits to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall be
considered to have remained employed by the Company until 18 months after the Date of Termination.

                    (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive breaches any ongoing obligation with the
Company (by way of example and not by way of limitation, any breach of a non-competition or
non-solicitation provision with the Company), and such breach is not cured within 30 days of
written notice of such breach received by the Executive from the Company, then the Company shall no
longer be required to provide any of the benefits set forth in this Section 4.2(a).

               (b) Termination More Than 60 Days Prior to Change in Control. If (a) a Change in
Control occurs, (b) the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated more than 60 days
prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and (c) it is reasonably demonstrated by
the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has
taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in
connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, then the Executive shall receive the
payments and benefits set forth in Section 4.2(a), subject to Section 4.2(a)(iv).

               (c) Resignation without Good Reason; Termination for Death or Disability. If the
Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company within the period from 60 days
prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, excluding a
termination for Good Reason, or if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by
reason of the Executive’s death or Disability within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in
Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, then the Company shall (i) pay the
Executive (or his estate, if applicable), in a lump sum in

9

 

cash on the Date of Termination, the Accrued Obligations, (ii) pay the Executive (or his
estate, if applicable) the Pro-Rated Bonus in a lump sum in cash on the 30th day following the
Applicable Date or as soon as administratively practicable following such scheduled payment date,
but in no event later than the close of the calendar year in which the Applicable Date occurs or
(if later) the 15th day of the third calendar month following that date, and (iii) pay or provide
to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the
Executive is eligible to receive following the Executive’s termination of employment under any
plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement on the Company and its affiliated companies
(such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”) as they
become due and payable in one or more installments under the applicable plan or arrangement subject
to compliance with Code Section 409A. In addition, any vested compensation deferred on behalf of
the Executive under any deferred compensation plan subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid at
the time or times specified for payment pursuant to the provisions of such plan.

               (d) Termination for Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment with
the Company for Cause within the period from 60 days prior to the Change in Control Date to 24
months following the Change in Control Date, then the Company shall (i) pay the Executive, in a
lump sum in cash on the Date of Termination, the Accrued Obligations and (ii) timely pay or provide
to the Executive the Other Benefits as they become due and payable in one or more installments
under the applicable plan or arrangement subject to compliance with Code Section 409A. In
addition, any vested compensation deferred on behalf of the Executive under any deferred
compensation plan subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid at the time or times specified for
payment pursuant to the provisions of such plan.

          4.3 Section 409A. Certain payments contemplated by this Restated Agreement may be
“deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, the following
provisions shall be in effect for purposes of avoiding or mitigating any adverse tax consequences
to the Executive under Code Section 409A.

               (a) It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Restated Agreement comply with
all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. Accordingly, all provisions of this Restated
Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the
applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury Regulations
thereunder and such provisions shall be deemed amended to comply with Code Section 409A and the
applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.

               (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Restated Agreement, no payments or
benefits to which the Executive may become entitled under Section 4 or Section 5.3 of this Restated
Agreement shall be made or provided to him prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six
(6)-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date
of his death, if the Executive is deemed, pursuant to the procedures established by the
Compensation Committee in accordance with the applicable standards of Code Section 409A and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder and applied on a consistent basis for all non-qualified deferred
compensation plans of the Employer Group subject to Code Section 409A, to be a “specified employee”
at the time of such Separation from Service and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in
order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of
the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)

10

 

deferral period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 4.3 (whether they
would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such
deferral) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments
and benefits due under this Restated Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the
normal payment dates specified for them herein. The specified employees subject to such a delayed
commencement date shall be identified on December 31 of each calendar year. If the Executive is so
identified on any such December 31, he shall have specified employee status for the twelve
(12)-month period beginning on April 1 of the following calendar year. For purposes of this
Restated Agreement, including (without limitation) this Section 4.3(b), “Separation from Service”
shall mean a separation from service as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

          4.4 Excise Tax Gross-Up

               (a) In the event that any payments or benefits to which the Executive becomes entitled in
accordance with the provisions of this Restated Agreement or any other agreement with the Company
constitutes a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code (collectively, the “Parachute
Payment”) subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or
penalties related to such excise tax (with such excise tax and related interest and penalties to be
collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive will be entitled to receive from
the Company an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in a dollar amount such that after
payment of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains a net amount
equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the aggregate Orachute Payment.

               (b) All determinations as to whether any of the payments or benefits to which the Executive
becomes entitled in accordance with the provisions of this Restated Agreement or any other
agreement with the Company constitute a Parachute payment, whether a Gross-Up Payment is required
with respect to any Parachute Payment, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, and any other amounts
relevant to the calculation of such Gross-Up Payment, will be made by an independent registered
public accounting firm selected by the Company from among the largest four accounting firms in the
United States (the “Accounting Firm”). Such Accounting Firm will make the applicable
determinations (the Gross-Up Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations
regarding the amount of the Excise Tax, any required Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant
matter, within thirty (30) days after the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service. The
Gross-Up Determination made by the Accounting Firm will be binding upon both the Executive and the
Company. The Gross-Up Payment (if any) determined on the basis of the Gross-Up Determination shall
be paid to the Executive or on the Executive’s behalf with ten (10) business days after the
completion of such Determination or (if later) at the time the related Excise Tax is remitted to
the appropriate tax authorities.

               (c) In the event that the Executive’s actual Excise Tax liability is determined by a Final
Determination to be greater than the Excise Tax liability taken into account for purposes of any
Gross-Up Payment or Payments initially made to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section
4.4(a), then within thirty (30) days following that Final

11

 

Determination, the Executive shall notify the Company of such determination, and the
Accounting Firm shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, make a new Excise Tax calculation based
upon that Final Determination and provide both the Executive and the Company with the supporting
calculations for any supplemental Gross-Up Payment attributable to that excess Excise Tax
liability. The Company shall make the supplemental Gross-Up payment to the Executive within ten
(10) business days following the completion of the applicable calculations pr (if later) at the
time such excess tax liability is remitted to the appropriate tax authorities. In the event that
the Executive’s actual Excise Tax liability is determined by a Final Determination to be less than
the Excise Tax liability taken into account for purposes of any Gross-Up Payment initially made to
the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4(a), then the Executive shall refund to the
Company, promptly upon receipt (but in no event later than ten (10) business days after such
receipt), any federal or state tax refund attributable to the Excise Tax overpayment. For purposes
of this Section 4.4(c), a “Final Determination” means an audit adjustment by the Internal Revenue
Service that is either (i) agreed to by both the Executive and the Company or (ii) sustained by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a decision with which both the Executive and the Company concur
or with respect to which the period within which an appeal may be filed has lapsed without a notice
of appeal being filed.

               (d) Should the Accounting Firm determine that any Gross-Up Payment made to the Executive was
in fact more than the amount actually required to be paid to the Executive in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.4(a), then the Executive will, at the direction and expense of the Company,
take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for
refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, the Company, and
otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Company to correct such overpayment. Furthermore, should
the Company decide to contest any assessment by the Internal Revenue Service of an Excise Tax on
one or more payments or benefits provided the Executive under this Restated Agreement or otherwise,
the Executive will comply with all reasonable actions requested by the Company in connection with
such proceedings, but shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs in so doing.

               (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing any Gross-Up Payments due the
Executive under this Section 4.4 shall be subject to the hold-back provisions of Section 4.3(b).
In addition, no Gross-Up Payment shall be made later than the end of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the related taxes are remitted to the appropriate tax authorities or
such other specified time or schedule that may be permitted under Section 409A of the Code. To the
extent the Executive becomes entitled to any reimbursement of expenses incurred at the direction of
the Company in connection with any tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of
the Excise Tax, such reimbursement shall be paid to the Executive no later than the close of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Excise Tax that is the subject of such audit
or litigation is paid by the Executive. If no Excise Tax liability is found to be due as a result
of such audit or litigation, the reimbursement shall be paid to the Executive no later than the
close of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the audit is completed or there is
a final and non-appealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.

          4.5 Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment or benefits provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise.

     5. Disputes.

          5.1 Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration. All claims by the Executive for benefits
under this Restated Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of Directors of a claim for benefits
under this Restated Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth
the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Restated Agreement relied
upon. The Board of Directors shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review
of the decision denying a claim. Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection
with this Restated Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, 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.

          5.2 Expenses. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by
law, all legal, accounting and other fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as
a result of any claim or contest (so long as a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final
order, decree or judgment in favor of the Executive, and after the time for appeal has expired and
no appeal has been perfected for such final order, decree or judgment) by the Company, the
Executive or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision
of this Restated Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any
contest by the Executive regarding the amount of any payment or benefits pursuant to this Restated
Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate
provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

          5.3 Compensation During a Dispute. If the Change in Control Date occurs during the
Term and the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates within the period from 60 days
prior to the Change in Control Date to 24 months following the Change in Control Date, and the
right of the Executive to receive benefits under Section 4 (or the amount or nature of the benefits
to which he is entitled to receive) are the subject of a dispute between the Company and the
Executive, the Company shall continue (a) to pay to the Executive his base salary in effect as of
the Measurement Date commencing within 30 days following the Applicable Date and (b) to provide
benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have been
provided to them, if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the
applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Measurement Date, until such dispute is resolved either
by mutual written agreement of the parties or by an arbitrator’s award pursuant to Section 5.1.
Following the resolution of such dispute, the sum of the payments made to the Executive under
clause (a) of this Section 5.3 shall be deducted from any cash payment which the Executive is
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4; and if such sum exceeds the amount of the cash payment
which the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4, the excess of such sum over the
amount of such payment shall be repaid (without interest) by the Executive to the Company within
three (3) business days following the resolution of such dispute.

13

 

     6. Successors.

          6.1 Successor to Company. The Company shall 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 expressly to assume and agree to perform this Restated Agreement
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Restated Agreement at or prior to
the effectiveness of any succession shall be a breach of this Restated Agreement and shall
constitute Good Reason if the Executive elects to terminate employment, except that for purposes of
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed
the Date of Termination. As used in this Restated Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as
defined above and any successor to its business or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to
perform this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

          6.2 Successor to Executive. This Restated Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amount would still be payable to the Executive or his family hereunder if the Executive had
continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance
with the terms of this Restated Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or
administrators of the Executive’s estate.

     7. Notice. All notices, instructions and other communications given hereunder or in
connection herewith shall be in writing. Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be
sent either (i) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii)
prepaid via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in each case addressed to the
Company, at 826 Newtown-Yardley Road, Newtown, Pennsylvania 18940, and to the Executive at the
Executive’s address indicated on the signature page of this Restated Agreement (or to such other
address as either the Company or the Executive may have furnished to the other in writing in
accordance herewith). Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be deemed to have been
delivered five business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or one business day after it is sent via a reputable nationwide
overnight courier service. Either party may give any notice, instruction or other communication
hereunder using any other means, but no such notice, instruction or other communication shall be
deemed to have been duly delivered unless and until it actually is received by the party for whom
it is intended.

     8. Miscellaneous.

          8.1 Employment by Subsidiary. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s
employment with the Company shall not be deemed to have terminated solely as a result of the
Executive continuing to be employed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

14

 

          8.2 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Restated Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Restated Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

          8.3 Injunctive Relief. The Company and the Executive agree that any breach of this
Restated Agreement by the Company is likely to cause the Executive substantial and irrevocable
damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies which may
be available, the Executive shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive relief.

          8.4 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Restated Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
without regard to conflicts of law principles.

          8.5 Waivers. No waiver by the Executive at any time of any breach of, or compliance
with, any provision of this Restated Agreement to be performed by the Company shall be deemed a
waiver of that or any other provision at any subsequent time.

          8.6 Counterparts. This Restated Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original but both of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

          8.7 Tax Withholding. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be subject to the
Company’s collection of the any applicable tax withholding required under federal, state or local
law, and the Executive shall only be entitled to the amount of each payment remaining the
applicable withholding taxes have been collected.

          8.8 Entire Agreement. This Restated Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the
parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior
agreements (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement), promises, covenants, arrangements,
communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or
representative of any party hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein; and any prior
agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby
terminated and cancelled.

          8.9 Amendments. This Restated Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written
instrument executed by both the Company and the Executive.

          8.10 Executive’s Acknowledgements. The Executive acknowledges that he or she: (a) has

execution of this Restated Agreement by legal counsel of the Executive’s own choice or has
