In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Executive do hereby agree as follows:

The Executive shall serve as a Senior Vice President of the Company and shall perform such duties and responsibilities  as may from time to time be prescribed by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), provided that such duties and responsibilities  are consistent with the Executive’s position.  The Executive shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently and to the best of his ability such duties and responsibilities and shall devote all of his working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates. During the two (2) years following a Change in Control (as defined herein), the Executive’s position (including offices, titles and reporting requirements), duties, and responsibilities  shall not be reduced, and the Executive shall not be required to work at a location other than the location at which the Executive was based at the time of the Change in Control. 

3.    COMPENSATION.

hereof (except that the first and last semi-monthly installments may be prorated, if necessary) and subject to applicable tax and payroll deductions.  The Company shall consider increases in the Executive’s Base Salary annually, and any such increase in salary implemented by the Company shall become the Executive’s Base Salary for purposes of this Agreement.

(d)       OTHER BENEFITS.  During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans and arrangements which are available to senior executive officers of the Company, including, without limitation, group health and life insurance, pension and savings, and the Senior Management Employment Policy.

(e)      FRINGE BENEFITS.  The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive promptly for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by him in connection with his duties hereunder, upon submission by the Executive to the Company of such written evidence of such expenses as the Company may require.

The Company shall make any such reimbursement or payments under this Section 3(e) no later than the last day of the Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive incurs the expense.  The Company further agrees that the Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation in any year of the term of employment hereunder, subject to the terms of the Company’s vacation policy.

To the extent that the Company is not able to continue life, group health or similar benefits as a result of the terms of the applicable plans or insurance policies, the Company shall pay the Executive the cost, no less frequently than monthly, that the Executive must incur to obtain such benefits privately.

   

4.    RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

(a)       ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.   The Executive acknowledges that as an Executive Officer of the Company (i) he frequently will be exposed to certain “Trade Secrets” and “Confidential Information” of the Company (as those terms are defined in Subsection 4(b)),
(ii) his responsibilities  on behalf of the Company will extend to all geographical areas where the Company is doing business, and (iii) any competitive activity on his part during the term of his employment and for a reasonable period thereafter would necessarily involve his use of the Company’s Trade Secrets and Confidential Information  and, therefore, would unfairly threaten the Company’s legitimate business interests, including its substantial investment in the proprietary aspects of its business and the goodwill associated with its customer base.  Moreover, the Executive acknowledges that, in the event of the termination of his employment with the Company, he would have sufficient skills to find alternative, commensurate work in his field of expertise that would not involve a violation of any of the provisions of this Section 4.  Therefore, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that it is reasonable for the Company to require him to abide by the covenants set forth in this Section 4.  The parties acknowledge and agree that if the nature of the Executive’s responsibilities  for or on behalf of the Company and the geographical areas in which the Executive must fulfill them materially change, the parties will execute appropriate amendments to the scope of the covenants in this Section 4.

This duty applies whether or not the forgoing inventions or information are made or prepared in the course of employment with the Company, so long as such inventions or information relate to the Business of Company and have been developed in whole or in part during the term of the Executive’s employment. The Executive agrees to advise the Company in writing of each invention that Executive, alone or with others, makes or conceives during the term of Executive’s employment.  Inventions which the Executive developed before the Executive came to work for the Company, if any, are as follows: _____________________________________________________________________.

(i)    REMEDIES FOR VIOLATION OF RESTRICTIVE  COVENANTS.  The Executive acknowledges that the Company would suffer irreparable harm if the Executive fails to comply with the foregoing, and that the Company would be entitled to any appropriate relief, including money damages, injunctive and other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees.

(j)    SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions of these restrictive covenants shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,  the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions  shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in these restrictive covenants shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, the parties authorize the Court in which such action is pending to modify said covenants and enforce them  to the extent that the Court deems reasonable.

5.    TERMINATION.

(a)       DEATH.  This Agreement  shall terminate upon the death of the Executive provided, however, that for purposes of the payment of Base Salary to the Executive, the death of the Executive shall, be deemed to have occurred ninety (90) days from the last day of the month

(i) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause, by giving written Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 5(e)) to the Executive.
(ii) The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder, by  giving written Notice of Termination to the Company.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall have “Good Reason” to terminate his employment hereunder upon (a) a substantial reduction in the Executive’s aggregate Base Salary and annual incentive compensation taken as a whole, excluding reductions caused by the performance of the Company or the executive, including but not limited to, the failure by the

Executive to achieve performance targets established from time time by the Board and/or under the Management Incentive Plan or Long Term Incentive Plan or from below budget performance by the Company, or (b) the Company's failure to make payments of  Base Pay and incentive compensation, but only upon notice of such failure given by the Executive within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the failure and the subsequent failure of the Company to cure the non-payment within thirty (30) days of such notice.

(e)     NOTICE OF TERMINATION.  Any termination by the Company pursuant to the Subsections (b), (c) or (d)(i) above or by the Executive pursuant to Subsection (d)(ii) above, shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from the party issuing such notice to the other party hereto.  For purposes of this Agreement,  a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision of this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination.  A date of termination  specified in the Notice of Termination shall not be dated earlier than ninety (90) days from the date such Notice is delivered or mailed to the applicable party and not later than two (2) years after the initial existence of the failure.

(f)    OBLIGATION TO PAY.  Except upon termination for Cause, voluntary termination  by the Executive without Good Reason, or termination  as a result of death or disability, and further subject to Sections 6 and 16 below, the Company shall (i) pay the compensation specified in this Subsection 5(f) to the Executive for the period specified in this Subsection 5(f), (ii) continue to provide, no less frequently than monthly, life insurance benefits during the remainder  of the applicable period, including the Severance Period set forth in this Subsection 5(f), and (iii) if and to the extent the Executive timely elects COBRA continuation coverage, pay the Executive, no less frequently than monthly, the cost of COBRA premiums for a period of 18 months or such lesser period as the Executive continues to have COBRA continuation  coverage.

If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by reason of death, the estate of the Executive shall be paid all sums otherwise payable to the Executive through the end of the third month after the month in which the death of the Executive occurred, including all bonus or other incentive benefits accrued or accruable to the Executive through the end of the month in which the death of the Executive occurred, on the same basis as if the Executive had continued employment through such times, and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of disability as determined under the Company's long term disability plan, the Executive or the person charged with legal responsibility for the Executive's estate shall be paid all sums otherwise payable to the 
Executive, including the bonus and other benefits accrued or accruable to the Executive, on the 

same basis as if the Executive had continued employment through the date of disability, and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

If the Executive’s  employment shall be terminated for Cause, the Company shall pay the Executive his Base Salary through the date of termination specified in the Notice of Termination and reimbursements  otherwise payable to the Executive, and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

Unless such termination  occurs within two (2) years following a Change in Control, if the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall (x) continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary (at the rate in effect on the date of such termination)  for a period of one (1) year from the date of such termination  (such one (1) year period being referred to hereinafter  as the “Severance Period”) at such intervals as the same would have been paid had the Executive remained in the active service of the Company, and (y) pay the Executive a pro rata portion of the bonus or other incentive benefits to which the Executive would have been entitled for the year of termination had the Executive remained employed for the entire year, which incentive compensation shall be payable at the time incentive compensation is payable generally under the applicable incentive plans; provided, however, that notwithstanding  the foregoing, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments under clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence upon and after reaching age 65. The Executive shall have no further right to receive any other compensation, benefits or perquisites after the date of termination of employment  except as determined under the terms of this Agreement or any applicable employee benefit plans or programs of the Company or under applicable law.

If within two (2) years following a Change in Control the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (a “Change in Control Termination”), the Company shall immediately, and in all events within thirty (30) days after the date of termination, pay the Executive the sum of (x) two (2) times the Base Salary (at the rate in effect on the date of such termination), (y) a pro rata portion of the bonus or other incentive benefits to which the Executive would have been entitled for the year of termination had the Executive remained employed for the entire year, plus (z) a bonus in an amount equal to the three (3) year average of the awards received by the participant during the prior two (2) completed years and the current year’s trend (based upon results through the month most recently complete prior to the termination, extrapolated  for the complete year) multiplied by two (2) times.  Any payment due to the Executive with respect to clause (y) and (z) that is calculated based upon the Company’s Management  Incentive Plan shall be reduced by any similar amounts received by the Executive under such plan.  Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control Termination, the Company shall continue the Executive’s life and group health coverage for a period of two (2) years, subject to the same payments by the Executive that the Executive was required to make prior to termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to modify the group health benefits provided such modifications are applicable to all similarly situated management  employees. To the extent that the Company is not able to continue life or group health benefits as a result of the terms of the applicable plans or

insurance policies, the Company shall pay the Executive the cost, no less frequently than monthly, that the Executive must incur to obtain such benefits privately.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean change in the ownership of the Company, change in the effective control of the Company or change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, as described in Section 280G of the Code, including each of the following: (i) a change in the ownership of the Company occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, possess more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (unless any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, acquires additional  stock); (ii) change in the effective control of the Company is presumed (which presumption may be rebutted by the Compensation Committee of the Board) to occur on the date that either: any one person, or more than one person  acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12)-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of such Company;(iii) a majority of members of the Company’s Board is replaced during any twelve (12)-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board prior to the date of the appointment or election of such new directors; or (iv) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person  acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12)-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total fair market value equal to forty percent (40%) or more of the total fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions unless the assets are transferred to: a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock; an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by the Company; a person, or more than one person  acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all of the outstanding stock of the Company; or an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value of voting power of all of the outstanding stock of the Company.

(g)    TAXES.  In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive in the event of a Change in Control, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, (a “Change in Control Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any interest or penalties  are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the 

“Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Change in Control Payments. The Company shall pay all such Gross-Up Payments before such excise taxes are required to be remitted.

6.    CONDITIONS APPLICABLE  TO SEVERANCE PERIOD; MITIGATION OF DAMAGES

(a)     If during the Severance Period, the Executive breaches his obligations under Section 4 above, the Company may, upon written notice to the Executive, terminate the Severance Period and cease to make any further payments or provide any benefits described in Subsection 5(f).

(b)    Although the Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided  for in Subsection 5(f) by seeking other employment,  except in the case of a Change in Control Termination, any such payments shall be reduced by any amounts which the Executive receives or is entitled to receive from another employer with respect to the Severance Period.

16.    DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN OMNIBUS PROVISIONS.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time, including without limitation payment and provision of benefits only in connection with a permissible payment event contained in Section 409A (e.g., death or separation from service from the Company and its affiliates as defined  for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance.  For purposes of this Agreement, all rights to payments and benefits hereunder

shall be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Section 409A of the Code.  If Executive is a “specified employee”(as defined in Section 409A of the Code) and any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, then payment of any amount or provision of any benefit under this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred for six (6) months as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “409A Deferral Period”).  In the event such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would  otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled.  In the event benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided  during the 409A Deferral Period at Executive’s expense, with Executive having a right to reimbursement  from the Company once the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled. For purposes of this Agreement,  any termination of employment will be read to mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code where it is reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed  after such date or that the level of bona fide services Executive would perform after that date (whether as an employee or independent contractor) would permanently decrease to less than fifty percent (50%) of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36)-month period.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement.

NON - EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
(as of January 1, 2018)

Notes:

		
	1)
	Payments of annual retainers are made in accordance with the following provisions:

		
	I)
	Annual Retainers are paid quarterly in four installments (for ease of calculation purposes quarters are divided into 90 days with a 360 day year).

		
	II)
	Annual Retainers accrue as of the first day of each calendar quarter based on the Board and Committee Membership Roster in effect on that date.

		
	III)
	Annual Retainers are paid in advance during the first month of the given calendar quarter (e.g., January for the first quarter).

		
	IV)
	Changes to Board and Committee Memberships (including Chairpersons) will be reviewed and adjustments made to current quarter’s retainer amounts (up or down).

		
	V)
	Any changes in the Retainer amounts due for the current quarter will be reflected in the ensuing quarter’s retainer payment.  

2) Terms applicable to the Stock Grant Award are defined in the Plan Document. The stock grant equivalent to USD 120,000 is based on closing price on the day of the Annual Shareholders’ meeting.
