AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                    -----------------------------------------

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of
January 24, 2005, is entered into between Jarden Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and James E. Lillie, (the "Employee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee are parties to an Employment
Agreement entered into as of August 4, 2003 (the "Employment Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Employee as Chief
Operating Officer of the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth; and

     WHEREAS, Executive is willing to continue to be employed as Chief Operating
Officer of the Company on such terms and conditions; and

     WHEREAS, prior to the Company entering into that certain Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of September 19, 2004 (the "AHI Purchase Agreement") with
American Household, Inc. ("AHI") and the Purchase Agreement ("Warburg Purchase
Agreement") dated as of September 19, 2004 with Warburg Pincus, the members of
the Compensation Committee considered potential future compensation for senior
executives provided that the AHI transaction closed and retained independent
consultants to assist with this review; whereupon, based on the results of its
review and conditioned on several factors including (i) full Board approval,
(ii) the closing of the acquisition of AHI, and (iii) the Compensation Committee
finalizing discussions on the proposals with its independent consultants, the
Compensation Committee thereafter concluded that it would recommend that the
Board adopt the compensation arrangements in this Amended and Restated Agreement
including the increase in salary and award of Restricted Stock (as defined
below) generally having vesting as follows: (i) 50% vesting when the Company's
stock price equals or exceeds 156.25% of the $32 stock price set for the Warburg
Pincus Series B Preferred Stock conversion price ("Preferred Conversion Price"),
and (ii) the remaining Restricted Stock vesting when the Company's stock price
equals or exceeds 200% of the Preferred Conversion Price. The Preferred
Conversion Price was agreed by the Board at its September 14, 2004 Board meeting
to be a slight premium to the average closing price of the Company's stock
during the prior thirteen days of September; and

     WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and
the Company's Board of Directors, at meetings duly called and held, have each
authorized and approved the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to enter into this Agreement which
shall be deemed to amend, restate and replace the Employment Agreement between
the Company and Executive dated as of August 4, 2003.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows:

     1. Employment. The Company hereby employs the Employee as Chief Operating
Officer of the Company, and the Employee accepts such employment, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Employee from time to time may
(a) be appointed to additional offices or to different offices than those set
forth above provided they are within a fifty mile radius of the current Rye, New
York, location, (b) perform such duties other than those set forth above, and/or
(c) relinquish one or more of such offices or other duties, as may be mutually
agreed by and between the Company and the Employee; and, that no such action
shall be deemed or construed to otherwise amend or modify any of the remaining
terms or conditions of this Agreement.

     2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be two (2) years, commencing on
the date hereof and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the "Initial
Term"), subject to earlier termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.
The employment of the Employee shall automatically continue hereunder following
the Initial Term for the successive one (1) year periods (the "Renewal Terms")
unless the Company or the Employee gives written notice to the other at least
(90) ninety days prior to the end of the Initial Term. Subsequent to the Initial
Term, the employment of the Employee hereunder may be terminated at the end of
any Renewal Term by delivery by either the Employee or the Company of a written
notice to the other part at least (90) ninety days prior to the end of any
Renewal Term.

     3. Duties. During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall, subject
to the provisions of Section 1 above, serve as Chief Operating Officer of the
Company and shall perform all duties commensurate with his position that may be
assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and/or by the
Board of Directors of the Company consistent with such position. The Employee
shall devote substantially all of his time and energies to the business and
affairs of the Company and shall use his best efforts, skills and abilities to
promote the interests of the Company as necessary to diligently and competently
perform the duties of his position.

     4. Compensation and Benefits.Commencing as of January 1, 2005 and during
the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Employee, and the
Employee shall accept from the Company, as compensation for the performance of
services under this Agreement and the Employee's observance and performance of
all of the provisions hereof, a salary of $600,000 per year (the "Base
Compensation"). The Base Compensation shall be reviewed annually and shall be
increased by a minimum of the Consumer Price Index. In addition, the Employee
shall be eligible for a bonus package based on performance. The decision as to
whether to pay the Employee a bonus, as well as the amounts and terms of any
such bonus package, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors as part of its annual budget review

process. The bonus program shall give the Employee the opportunity to earn up to
50% of Base Compensation each year for achieving the Company's EBITDA and
earnings per share budget and up to 100% of Base Compensation for achieving
EBITDA 10% higher than budget and EPS 10% higher than budget. Each will be given
a 50% percent weight in the bonus calculation. In addition, the Employee will be
eligible to be awarded a discretionary bonus of up to 50% of Base Compensation
for services specifically performed relating to exceptional performance related
to other corporate activity undertaken by the Company in any year (the
"Discretionary Bonus"). Any Discretionary Bonus shall be determined in the sole
discretion of either the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, but
must be approved by the Warburg Pincus designated director in the case of any
award in respect of calendar 2005 and 2006.

The Employee's salary shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll
practices of the Company and shall be subject to withholding for applicable
taxes and other amounts. During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall
be entitled to participate in or benefit from, in accordance with the
eligibility and other provisions thereof, such medical, insurance, and other
fringe benefit plans or policies as the Company may make available to, or have
in effect for, its personnel with commensurate duties from time to time. The
Company retains the rights to terminate or alter any such plans or policies from
time to time. The Employee shall also be immediately entitled to four weeks of
vacations as well as sick leave and other similar benefits in accordance with
policies of the Company from time to time in effect for personnel with
commensurate duties. The company will purchase a term life insurance policy, or
other similar insurance vehicle, for the benefit of the employee in the amount
of one million dollars.

In addition to any restricted shares previously issued under the Employment
Agreement or evidenced by the restricted stock grant agreement dated August 5,
2004, upon the AHI Acquisition Closing (as defined below), Executive shall be
entitled to receive a grant of 145,000 shares of restricted stock (the
"Restricted Stock") under the Company's 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
or such other similar stock plan that the Company may have in place. The Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain stockholder approval for
a new equity compensation plan or an amendment to the 2003 Plan to provide the
Company with sufficient availability to grant such Restricted Stock. Promptly
after stockholder approval of such new plan or the amended 2003 Plan, the
Company shall grant Executive the Restricted Stock. In the event that the
Company does not have a stock incentive plan in place on or prior to December
31, 2005 with enough shares to be granted to the Executive, the Company shall
grant to the Executive such number of shares of Restricted Stock that are
available under the Company's stock incentive plans, and in lieu of any shares
of Restricted Stock not granted (the "Remaining Stock"), Executive shall receive
a mutually acceptable compensation package having a value equivalent to the
value of the shares of Remaining Stock not issued to the Executive as determined
in good faith by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors, as the case
may be.

The restrictions on the award shall lapse as follows: (i) 50% on the date that
the stock price of the common stock of the Company equals or exceeds fifty
dollars ($50.00) for ten (10) consecutive trading days (measured on a VWAP
basis) prior to the third anniversary of the restricted stock grant, (ii) 100%
on the date that the stock price of the common stock of the Company equals or
exceeds sixty-four dollars ($64.00) for ten (10) consecutive trading days
(measured on a VWAP basis) prior to the fifth anniversary of the restricted
stock grant or (iii) the date there is a Change of Control (as defined in the
Plan) of the Company and either (a) the Company's stock price is higher than $32
per share at the time of the Change of Control or (b) the Board of Directors
approves, in its sole discretion, such vesting. If the Employee is either fired
by the Company or leaves voluntarily, Employee will surrender all unvested
Restricted Stock issuable pursuant to this paragraph. The number of shares
granted and the target share price shall be adjusted for changes in the common
stock as outlined in Section 18.1 of the Plan or as otherwise mutually agreed in
writing between the parties. The terms of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder
shall each be set forth in a Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

     5. Reimbursement of Business Expenses. During the term of this Agreement,
upon submission of proper invoices, receipts or other supporting documentation
satisfactory to the Company and in specific accordance with such guidelines as
may be established from time to time by the Company, the Employee shall be
reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable business expenses actually and
necessarily incurred by the Employee on behalf of the Employer in connection
with the performance of services under this Agreement.

     6. Representation of Employee. Except as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof,
the Employee represents and warrants that that he is not party to, or bound by,
any agreement or commitment, or subject to any restriction, including but not
limited to agreements related to previous employment containing confidentiality
or non compete covenants, which in the future may have a possibility of
adversely affecting the business of the Company or the performance by the
Employee of his material duties under this Agreement.

     7. Confidentiality. (For purposes of this Section 7, all references to the
Company shall be deemed to include the Company's subsidiary corporations.)

         (a) Confidential Information. The Employee acknowledges that he will
have knowledge of, and access to, proprietary and confidential information of
the Company, including, without limitation, inventions, trade secrets, technical
information, know-how, plans, specifications, methods of operations, financial
and marketing information and the identity of customers and suppliers
(collectively, the "Confidential Information"), and that such information, even
though it may be contributed, developed or acquired by the Employee, constitutes
valuable, special and unique assets of the Company developed at great expense
which are the exclusive property of the Company. Accordingly, the Employee shall
not, either during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, use, reveal,
report, publish, transfer or otherwise disclose to any person, corporation or
other entity, any of the Confidential Information without the prior written

consent of the Company, except to responsible officers and employees of the
Company and other responsible persons who are in a contractual or fiduciary
relationship with the Company and who have a need for such information for
purposes in the best interests of the Company, and except for such information
which is or becomes of general public knowledge from authorized sources other
than the Employee. The Employee acknowledges that the Company would not enter
into this Agreement without the assurance that all such confidential and
proprietary information will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Company.

         (b) Return of Confidential Information. Upon the termination of
Employee's employment with the Company, the Employee shall promptly deliver to
the Company all drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports and copies
thereof and all other materials relating to the Company's business.

     8. Noncompetition. (For purposes of this Section 8, all references to the
Company shall be deemed to include the Company's subsidiary corporations).
During the term set forth below, the Employee will not utilize his special
knowledge of the business of the Company and his relationships with customers
and suppliers of the Company to compete with the Company. During the term of
this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months after the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, the Employee shall not engage, directly or
indirectly or have an interest, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United
States of America or any other geographic area where the Company does business
or in which its products are marketed, alone or in association with others, as
principal, officer, agent, employee, capital, lending of money or property,
rendering of services or otherwise, in any business directly competitive with or
similar to that engaged in by the Company (it being understood hereby, that the
ownership by the Employee of 2% or less of the stock of any company listed on a
national securities exchange shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 8).
During the same period, the Employee shall not, and shall not permit any of his
employees, agents or others under his control to, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of himself or any other person, (i) call upon, accept business from, or
solicit the business of any person who is, or who had been at any time during
the preceding two years, a customer of the Company or any successor to the
business of the Company, or otherwise divert or attempt to divert any business
from the Company or any such successor, or (ii) directly or indirectly recruit
or otherwise solicit or induce any person who is an employee of, or otherwise
engaged by, the Company or any successor to the business of the Company to
terminate his or her employment or other relationship with the Company or such
successor.

     9. Remedies. The restrictions set forth in Section 7 and 8 are considered
by the parties to be fair and reasonable. The Employee acknowledges that the
Company would be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages would not provide
an adequate remedy in the event of a breech of the provisions of Section 7 or 8.
Accordingly, the Employee agrees that, in addition to any other remedies
available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive and
other equitable relief to secure the enforcement of these provisions. If any
provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9 relating to the

time period, scope of activities or geographic area of restrictions is declared
by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum permissible time
period, scope of activities or geographic area, as the case may be, shall be
provisions of Section 7, 8 or 9 other than those described in the preceding
sentence are adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or
unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended (with respect only to the
jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made) in such manner as to render
them enforceable and to effectuate as nearly as possible the original intentions
and agreement of the parties.

     10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration
of the term set forth in Section 2 upon the occurrence of any of the events set
forth in, and subject to the terms of, this Section 10.

         (a) Death. This Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically
upon the death of the Employee.

         (b) Disability. This Agreement may be terminated at the Company's
option, immediately upon written notice to the Employee, if the Employee shall
suffer a permanent disability. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term
"permanent disability" shall mean the Employee's inability to perform his duties
under this Agreement for a period of 120 consecutive days or for an aggregate of
180 days, whether or not consecutive, in any twelve month period, due to
illness, accident or any other physical or mental incapacity, as reasonably
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event of termination
for disability, the Employee will also be entitled to receive medical benefits
generally available to other disabled employees of the Company.

         (c) Cause. This Agreement may be terminated at the Company's option,
immediately upon written notice to the Employee, upon: (i) breach by the
Employee of any material provision of this Agreement not cured within ten (10)
days after written notice of such breach is given by the Company to the
Employee; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Employee in
connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement, or
Employee's willful refusal to perform any of his duties or responsibilities
required pursuant to this Agreement; or (iii) fraud, criminal conduct or
embezzlement by the Employee.

         (d) Without Cause. This Agreement may be terminated pursuant to the
terms of Section 2 or on thirty (30) days written notice (the thirtieth day
following such notice being herein sometimes called the "Termination Date") by
the Company without cause, subject to the following provision.

         If the Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without
Cause, or upon Disability, the Employee shall receive an amount (the "Severance
Amount") equal to the sum of the following: (i) eighteen months Base
Compensation; plus (ii) continuation of health insurance and other benefits for
eighteen months at the expense of Company. If the Employee has completed at
least six months of service in

addition to the above he will also receive: (i) eighteen months target bonus
which Employee would have been entitled to receive for achieving budget for the
year in which Employee's employment was terminated; (ii) plus full vesting of
any outstanding stock options and the lapsing of any restrictions over any
restricted shares owned by the Employee.

         The cash portion of the Severance Amount shall be paid to the Employee
as promptly as practicable after the date of Termination and in no event later
than ten (10) days after termination.

         Payment of the Severance Amount shall be in lieu of all other financial
obligations of the Company to the Employee and all other benefits in this
Agreement shall cease as of the date of termination. The Employee shall have no
obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate damages hereunder. For
the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Company will pay all amounts
owed to Employee prior to the date of termination, including incentive
compensation earned up through the date of termination in the same manner as all
other plan participants. Notwithstanding anything in the incentive compensation
plan, Employee need not be employed at the date the incentive payments are made
to be eligible for this payment. The employee and the company shall enter into a
mutual release of claims against one another following the termination of
employment.

     11. Miscellaneous.

         (a) Survival. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

         (b) Entire Agreement.This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding
of the parties and merges and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements
between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof.

         (c) Modification. This Agreement may not be modified or terminated
orally; and no modification, termination or attempted waiver of any of the
provisions hereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party
against whom the same is sought to be enforced; provided, however, that the
Employee's compensation may be increased at any time by the Company without in
any way affecting any of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, which
in all other respects shall remain in full force and effect.

         (d) Waiver. Failure of a party to enforce one or more of the provisions
of this Agreement or to require at any time performance of any of the
obligations hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions by
such party nor to in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or such
party's right thereafter to enforce any provision of this Agreement, not to
preclude such party from taking any other action at any time which it would
legally be entitled to take.

         (e) Successors and Assigns. Neither party shall have the right to
assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the
consent of the other party.

         (f) Communications. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been given at the time personally delivered or when mailed in any United
States post office enclosed in a registered or certified postage prepaid
envelope and addressed to the recipient's address set forth below, or to such
other address as any party may specify by notice to the other party; provided,
however, that any notice of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.

         (g) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity
or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the
other provisions of this Agreement and the provision held to be invalid or
unenforceable shall be enforced as nearly as possible according to its original
terms and intent to eliminate such invalidity or unenforceability.

Employment Agreement, by reason of any action or decision taken by him in
good faith while acting pursuant to and in accordance with the preceding
sentence.
	 
	 	(b)  	Subject to the preceding subparagraph, during the Term,
Employee shall devote substantially all of his time, energy and skill to
performing the duties of his employment (vacations as provided hereunder and
reasonable absences because of illness excepted), shall faithfully and
industriously perform such duties, and shall use his best efforts to follow and
implement all management policies and decisions of Employer. Employee shall
not

3

 

	 	   	become personally involved in the management or operations of any other
company, partnership, proprietorship or other entity, other than any
Affiliate, without the prior written consent of Employer; provided, however,
that so long as it does not interfere with Employee’s employment hereunder,
Employee may, with Employer’s consent, (1) serve as a director, officer or
partner in a company that does not compete with the Business of Employer and
the Affiliates so long as the aggregate amount of time spent by Employee in
all such capacities shall not exceed twenty (20) hours per month, and (2)
serve as an officer or director of, or otherwise participate in,
educational, welfare, social, religious, civic, trade and industry-related
organizations.

     4. BASE SALARY.

	 	(a)  	For and in consideration of the services to be rendered by
Employee pursuant to this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Employer
shall pay to Employee, for each year during the Term, an annual salary of not
less than Three Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($330,000.00), payable in equal
semi-monthly installments in accordance with Employer’s payroll practices.
Employee’s salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors of Employer or
its Compensation and Nominating Committee, as applicable, annually and, in the
sole discretion of the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Nominating
Committee, may be increased, but not decreased.
	 
	 	(b)  	In addition to the Base Salary paid to Employee pursuant to
Paragraph 4(a) hereof, Employee shall be eligible to receive monthly
compensation of up to (x) 3% of (y) Employee’s Base Salary multiplied by
one-twelfth (1/12), through Employer’s anticipated “Monthly R+” performance
incentive plan, as such plan shall be developed, implemented and maintained
from time to time by Employer. The pertinent terms of the plan and the
specific performance objectives to be developed to measure Employee’s
performance under such plan shall be provided to Employee at such time as
Employer shall have implemented the same. This Paragraph 4(b) shall not create
any entitlement for Employee, require Employer to actually implement the
Monthly R+ plan or prevent Employer from, in its sole and exclusive discretion,
terminating or changing the terms to any such plan Employer does so implement.

     5. BONUS COMPENSATION.

	 	(a)  	Employee shall, with respect to each calendar year of Employer
ending during the Term, be entitled to participate in the Allied Holdings, Inc.
EVA Based Incentive Plan, as the same may be from time to time amended and in
effect (the “EVA Plan”) or any other bonus plan of Employer. The

4

 

	 	   	Employee’s Target Bonus for purposes of the EVA Plan shall be such
percentage of Employee’s Base Salary as shall, from time to time, be
determined by Employer.
	 
	 	(b)  	Employer hereby agrees to pay to Employee a cash bonus in an
amount equal to $247,500, with such bonus to be credited against any bonus
amount otherwise due to Employee by Employer under the Employer’s bonus plans
and to be paid in the following manner:

	 	(i)  	35% of the bonus amount shall be paid within
five (5) business days following the filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission of Employer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2004;
	 
	 	(ii)  	10% of the bonus amount shall be paid within
five (5) business days following the filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission of Employer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005; and
	 
	 	(iii)  	55% of the bonus amount shall be paid within
five (5) business days following the filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission of Employer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005;

	 	   	provided, however, that Employer shall not be required to pay a particular
installment of such bonus if Employee’s employment is terminated on or
before the date on which such applicable payment set forth in Paragraph
5(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) is due, other than with respect to a termination
pursuant to Paragraph 9(b) or 9(d) of the Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement or a termination by Employer without Cause (as defined herein), in
which case the entire amount of bonus provided in this Paragraph 5(b) shall
be due and payable to Employee immediately upon termination. In the event
Employer terminates Employee for Cause (as defined herein), Employer shall
pay to Employee an amount equal to the product of (A) $247,500, times (B)
the quotient of (1) the number of days from January 1, 2005 through the date
of termination for Cause, divided by (2) 455.

     6. OTHER BENEFITS. During the Term, Employer shall provide the following benefits to
Employee:

	 	(a)  	Employee shall be entitled to participate in all group medical
and hospitalization benefit programs, dental care, sick leave, life insurance
or other benefit plans for highly compensated employees of Employer or any
Affiliate as are now or hereafter provided by Employer or any Affiliate, in

5

 

	 	   	each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of each such plan and
benefit package.
	 
	 	(b)  	Employee shall be entitled to participate in all long term
incentive plans, stock option plans and other similar plans for highly
compensated employees of Employer as are now or hereafter provided by Employer
or any Affiliate, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of
each such plan.
	 
	 	(c)  	Employee shall be provided with the use of an automobile, which
shall be comparable to other automobiles Employer provides to persons serving
in the capacity of Executive Vice-President of Employer, or President of an
Affiliate, and which shall be chosen by Employee from a list of automobiles
Employer typically makes available to its Executive Vice-Presidents and
Presidents of its Affiliates and Employer shall pay for the cost of all
insurance, ad valorem taxes and tag charges for such automobile and all
operating and maintenance charges for such automobile. In addition, Employee
shall be entitled to an automobile allowance for his spouse comparable to the
spousal allowance Employer provides to persons serving in the capacity of
Executive Vice-President of Employer, or President of an Affiliate, as
determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of Employer or its
Compensation and Nominating Committee.
	 
	 	(d)  	Employee shall be provided with the use of a cellular
telephone, at no cost to Employee.

	 	(f)  	Employee shall, at all times, have available to him an expense
account, including the use of a corporate American Express card, to defray
ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of his
duties hereunder. Employee shall be reimbursed for such expenses upon
presentation and approval of expense statements or written vouchers or other
supporting documents as may be reasonably requested in advance by Employer,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
	 
	 	(g)  	Employer shall reimburse Employee for any premiums paid by
Employee for life insurance and long-term care insurance for Employee and his
spouse provided that such annual reimbursement amount shall not exceed $25,000,
and in addition shall reimburse Employee for any federal, state and local taxes
paid by Employee as a result of Employer’s obligations set forth in this
subparagraph (g).

6

 

     The benefits described in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph shall not be construed to require
Employer to establish any such plans or programs or to prevent Employer from modifying or
terminating any such plans or programs, and no such action or failure thereof shall affect this
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of any reduction in
the group medical and hospitalization benefits in place as of the date hereof, the salary payable
to Employee shall be increased, as of the effective date of such reduction, by that amount
necessary to enable Employee to supplement the benefits provided by Employer to maintain the level
of benefits currently provided to him by it.

     7. VACATION. Employee shall receive no fewer than three (3) weeks of paid vacation
for each year during the Term. Scheduling of vacation shall be subject to the prior approval of
Employer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Vacation time shall not accrue, and
in the event Employee prior to the end of any year shall not use all of his vacation time for such
year, such vacation time shall be forfeited.

     8. TERMINATION. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Employee’s employment
hereunder shall terminate upon the first to occur of any of the following events:

	 	(a)  	Employee’s Disability;
	 
	 	(b)  	Employee’s death;
	 
	 	(c)  	Employee’s materially breaching this Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement by the non-performance or non-observance of any material
term or condition of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, which
breach shall not be corrected within forty-five (45) days after receipt of
written notice of same from Employer;
	 
	 	(d)  	Employer’s sending Employee written notice terminating his
employment hereunder prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal
Term in accordance with Paragraph 2 hereof;
	 
	 	(e)  	Employee’s voluntarily terminating his employment hereunder
prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term; or
	 
	 	(f)  	Employee’s being terminated for Cause.

     9. TERMINATION PAYMENT. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 12 hereof, in the
event

	 	(a)  	Employee’s employment shall terminate pursuant to Paragraph
8(a) (Disability) or Paragraph 8(b) (death) hereof; or

7

 

	 	(b)  	Employee shall terminate his employment as a result of

	 	(i)  	any failure to elect or reelect or to appoint
or reappoint Employee to the position of Executive Vice-President,
General Counsel and Secretary of Employer unless agreed to by Employee;
	 
	 	(ii)  	any material change by Employer in Employee’s
function, duties, responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position and attributes thereof described in Paragraph 3 hereof unless
agreed to by Employee, or any change in location of the principal
offices of Employer outside the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, area, or
any requirement that Employee perform substantially all of his duties
outside the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, area (and any such material
change or relocation of Employer or Employee shall be deemed a
continuing breach of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement);
	 
	 	(iii)  	the liquidation, dissolution, consolidation or
merger of Employer (other than a merger or other combination of
Employer and an Affiliate); provided, however, that if there shall be a
termination of employment resulting from events described in this
subsection (iii) and in subsection (d) below, then such termination
shall be deemed to fall within the terms of subsection (d) below which
shall control and be paramount;
	 
	 	(iv)  	any other material breach of this Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement by Employer which shall not be cured
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of same from
Employee;
	 
	 	(v)  	Employer filing a petition for protection or
relief from creditors under the federal bankruptcy law, or any petition
shall be filed against Employer under the federal bankruptcy law, or
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts or shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a petition or application
for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or custodian of
Employer is filed, or Employer shall seek a composition with creditors;
or

	 	(c)  	Employee’s employment shall be terminated by Employer for any
reason other than for Cause or because Employer elects not to extend this
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement beyond the Initial or any Renewal
Term; or
	 
	 	(d)  	If (i) Employer undergoes any change in control or ownership
whereby Employer is reorganized, merged, or consolidated with one or more

8

 

	 	   	corporations as a result of which the owners of all of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation own in the aggregate less than seventy percent (70%) of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Employer or any other entity into
which Employer shall be merged or consolidated immediately following the
consummation thereof (hereinafter, “Employer’s successor-in-interest”), or
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets or more than thirty percent (30%) of the then outstanding shares
of common stock of Employer is effectuated, other than as a result of a
merger or other combination of Employer and an Affiliate, or (iii) the
acquisition by any “person” as used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of beneficial ownership (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent
(20%) or more of the combined voting power of Employer’s then outstanding
voting securities is effectuated; or (iv) the individuals who, as of the
date of execution of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, are
members of the Board of Directors (the “incumbent Board”) cease for any
reason to constitute at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Board; provided,
however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the
shareholders of any new director was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the incumbent Board, such new director shall, for
purposes of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, be considered as
a member of the incumbent Board, and (a) Employee’s employment with Employer
or Employer’s successor-in-interest is terminated by Employer or Employer’s
successor-in-interest (as the case may be) or Employee for any reason, or
(b) Employee’s employment under this Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement is not extended by Employer or Employer’s successor-in-interest
for any Renewal Term, and such termination or non-renewal occurs within two
(2) years after the closing of the transaction which resulted in the change
in control,

then Employer shall, depending upon the reason for the termination of Employee’s employment,
immediately pay in cash to Employee an amount determined as follows:

	 	(x)  	If the termination shall be pursuant to subparagraph (d) above, the amount
shall be equal to the sum of

	 	(1)  	three hundred percent (300%) of Employee’s then-effective
annual Base Salary; and
	 
	 	(2)  	three hundred percent (300%) of Employee’s then-effective
Bonus, as hereinafter defined.

9

 

	   	In addition, Employer shall continue to provide to Employee (except in the case of
Employee’s death), for a period of three (3) years from said termination, the benefits
enumerated in Paragraph 6(a) and Paragraph 6(c) hereof.

	 	(y)  	If the termination shall be other than pursuant to subparagraph (d) above, the
amount shall be equal to the sum of

	 	(1)  	two hundred percent (200%) of Employee’s then-effective annual
Base Salary; and
	 
	 	(2)  	two hundred percent (200%) of Employee’s then-effective Bonus,
as hereinafter defined.

	   	In addition, Employer shall continue to provide to Employee (except in the case of
Employee’s death), for a period of two (2) years from said termination, the benefits
enumerated in Paragraph 6(a) and Paragraph 6(c) hereof.

     10. OPERATIVE PROVISIONS.

	 	(a)  	As used in this Agreement, the term “Bonus” shall mean:

	 	(i)  	with respect to the most recent grant or award
of restricted stock, pursuant to Employer’s “Long Term Incentive Plan”,
made prior to the date of termination of Employee’s employment, the
Dollar value, as of the date of such grant or award, of the Long Term
Incentive Plan restricted stock plan target for Employee as approved by
the Compensation and Nominating Committee of Employer’s Board of
Directors, which Dollar value is established by the Compensation
Committee notwithstanding the number of shares actually received
pursuant to such grant or award and notwithstanding the value of such
 shares actually received; plus
	 
	 	(ii)  	the highest of (1) the average of the bonuses
actually paid to Employee for the two (2) years immediately preceding
the year in which termination of employment occurs; (2) the average of
the bonuses which would have been paid to Employee for the two (2)
years immediately preceding the year in which termination of employment
occurs, assuming his target bonus had been achieved for each such year;
or (3) the amount of the target bonus for Employee for the year in
which termination of employment occurs.

	 	(b)  	In the event of a termination of employment pursuant to
Paragraph 9 hereof, all restricted stock awards of Employee shall become wholly
unrestricted and all unvested stock options of Employee shall become fully
vested in Employee, and all such agreements pertaining thereto shall be

10

 

	 	   	read accordingly; provided, however, that Employee shall not have any such
rights with respect to any stock issued under any employee stock plan of
Employer qualifying under Section 402(a) et seq. of the Code
if, and to the extent, such rights would jeopardize the qualification of such
plan under said Section. As used in the preceding sentence, “Code” means the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended from time to time or any provisions
from time to time enacted and corresponding in substance thereto.

	 	(c)  	Paragraph 9 and this Paragraph 10 shall survive the termination
of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, and this Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement shall be read accordingly.

     11. INTENTION OF PARTIES. It is the express understanding and intention of Employer
and Employee that the provisions of Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 9 hereof shall be read together and
be non-exclusive so that, in the event of a termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to
Paragraph 9 of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Employee shall receive both
(i) all of the compensation specified in Paragraph 9 hereof (including, but not limited to, the
applicable percentage of Employee’s then-effective Base Salary and the applicable percentage of the
cash portion of Employee’s Bonus) and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the pro
rata portion of both the cash and equity parts of Employee’s Bonus based on the number of days
in the fiscal year falling within the Term (which shall include the amount of any bonus paid to
Employee during that year, if any), but in no event shall such pro rata portion be less
than the pro rata share of the highest of (i) the average of the bonuses actually paid to
Employee for the two (2) years immediately preceding the year in which termination of employment
occurs; (ii) the average of the bonuses which would have been paid to Employee for the two (2)
years immediately preceding the year in which termination of employment occurs, assuming his target
bonus had been achieved for each such year; or (iii) the amount of the target bonus for Employee
for the year in which termination of employment occurs. The amounts referred to in this Paragraph
are in addition to the benefits enumerated in Paragraphs 6(b) and 6(c) hereof.

     12. CONDITIONS TO BENEFITS. Anything in this Amended and Restated Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding:

	 	(a)  	To receive the benefits enumerated in Paragraph 9 hereof,
Employee shall execute and agree to be bound by a release agreement
substantially in the form attached to this Amended and Restated Agreement as
Exhibit A and, to the extent applicable, a resignation letter
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B, prior to, and as a
condition to, receiving any payments or benefits provided for in Paragraph 9
hereof or otherwise following termination of his employment hereunder and, if
applicable, the release agreement may contain provisions required by federal,
state or local law (e.g., the Older Worker’s Benefit Protection Act) to effect
a general release of all claims.

11

 

	 	(b)  	Employee’s right to receive any of the benefits provided for in
Paragraph 9 or otherwise in this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
following termination of his employment hereunder shall immediately cease and
be of no further force or effect if Employee violates any of the covenants
contained in Paragraphs 13, 14, 15 or 16 hereof.

     13. COVENANT NOT-TO-DISCLOSE. Employer and Employee recognize that, during the course
of Employee’s term of employment with Employer pursuant to this Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement, Employer will disclose to Employee information concerning Employer and the Affiliates,
their products, their customers, their services, their trade secrets, their proprietary information
and other information concerning their business all of which constitute valuable assets of Employer
and the Affiliates. Employer and Employee further acknowledge that Employer has, and will, invest
considerable amounts of time, effort and corporate resources in developing such valuable assets and
that disclosure by Employee of such assets to the public shall cause irreparable harm, damage and
loss to Employer and the Affiliates.

	 	(a)  	To protect these assets, Employee agrees that he shall not,
during the Restricted Period, advise or disclose to any person, corporation,
firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever (except Employer or an Affiliate),
or any officer, director, stockholder, partner or associate of any such
corporation, firm, partnership or entity any information received from Employer
by Employee during the course of Employee’s association with Employer relating
to the business affairs of Employer and the Affiliates including information
concerning Employer’s and the Affiliates’ finances, services, customers,
customer lists, prospective customers, staff, contemplated acquisitions
(whether of business or assets), ideas, proprietary information, methods,
marketing investigations, surveys, research and any other information relating
to the business and objectives of Employer and the Affiliates, except as
permitted by Exhibit C hereof.
	 
	 	(b)  	Employee further agrees that he shall not, during the term of
his employment or any time thereafter, advise or disclose to any person or
entity any trade secret which Employer or any Affiliate has disclosed to
Employee during the course of his employment with Employer.
	 
	 	(c)  	In the event Employee’s employment is terminated, Employee
agrees that, if requested by Employer, he will acknowledge in writing that he
received the disclosures referred to herein and is under the obligations
referred to in this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.
	 
	 	(d)  	This Paragraph 13 shall, except as otherwise provided in this
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, survive the termination of this
Agreement.

12

 

     14. COVENANT NOT-TO-INDUCE. Employee covenants and agrees that during the Restricted
Period, he will not, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of
others, hire, solicit, take away or attempt to hire, solicit or take away any employee or other
personnel of Employer and the Affiliates. This Paragraph 14 shall, except as otherwise provided in
this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, survive the termination of this Agreement.

     15. COVENANT OF NON-DISPARAGEMENT AND COOPERATION. Employee agrees that he shall not
at any time during or following the term of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement make any
remarks disparaging the conduct or character of Employer or the Affiliates or any of Employer’s or
the Affiliates’ current or former agents, employees, officers, directors, successors or assigns
(collectively the “Related Companies”). In addition, Employee agrees to cooperate with the Related
Companies, at no extra cost, in any litigation or administrative proceedings (e.g., EEOC charges)
involving any matters with which Employee was involved during Employee’s employment with Employer.
Employer shall reimburse Employee for travel expenses approved by Employer or the Affiliates
incurred in providing such assistance. This Paragraph 15 shall survive the termination of this
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.

     16. COVENANT NOT-TO-COMPETE. Employer and Employee acknowledge that, by virtue of
Employee’s responsibilities and authority, he shall, during the course of his Employment, be
instrumental in developing, and shall receive, highly confidential information concerning Employer,
its customers, its services, its trade secrets, its proprietary information and other information
concerning the business of transporting automobiles and light trucks from the manufacturer to
retailers (and related activities) and the logistics business in connection with automobiles and
light trucks (all of which is, collectively, referred to as the “Business”), much of which will be
unavailable to those in positions of lesser responsibility and authority. Employee further
acknowledges that the ability of such information to benefit a competitor or potential competitor
of Employer and the Affiliates shall cause irreparable harm, damage and loss to Employer and the
Affiliates. To protect Employer from Employee’s using or exploiting this information, Employee
agrees that, if the employment relationship between Employee and Employer terminates for any reason
whatsoever, then, in such event, for a period of one (1) year or, in the case of Employee’s
termination pursuant to Paragraph 9(d) hereof, two (2) years from the date of Employee’s
termination of employment, Employee shall not serve as general counsel or in a similar capacity for
any other person or entity who engages in the Business in the United States, Canada, Mexico,
Brazil, Argentina, the United Kingdom or South Africa (collectively, the “Restricted Territory”),
and Employee shall not directly or indirectly, own, manage, join, control, contract with, be
employed by, act in the capacity of an officer, director, trustee, shareholder or partner or
consultant, or participate in any manner in the ownership, management, operation, or control of any
business or person engaged in the Business in the Restricted Territory; provided, however, Employee
shall be permitted to own not more than five percent (5%) of the stock of a corporation required to
file reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As to the foregoing, Employee
acknowledges that he has the ability to earn a comparable income within or without the Restricted
Territory as an attorney for persons or entities not engaged in the Business and that earning a
livelihood for clients not engaged in the

13

 

Business within or without the Restricted Territory would not constitute a hardship or an
unreasonable restriction on the Employee or restrict him from earning comparable income. This
Paragraph 16 shall survive the termination of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.

     17. SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT. Employer and Employee expressly agree that a violation of
the covenants not-to-disclose, not-to-induce, not-to-disparage and not-to-compete contained in
Paragraphs 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof, or any provision thereof, shall cause irreparable injury to
Employer and that, accordingly, Employer shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and
remedies it may have at law or in equity, to an injunction enjoining and restraining Employee from
doing or continuing to do any such act and any other violation or threatened violation of said
Paragraphs 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof.

     18. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement shall be found to be void, the remaining provisions of this Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement shall nevertheless be binding with the same effect as though the void part
were deleted; provided, however, if Paragraphs 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof shall be declared invalid,
in whole or in part, Employee shall execute, as soon as possible, a supplemental agreement with
Employer, granting Employer, to the extent legally possible, the protection afforded by said
Paragraphs. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that Employer shall not be
barred from enforcing the restrictive covenants contained in each of Paragraphs 13, 14, 15 and 16
as each are separate and distinct, so that the invalidity of any one or more of said covenants
shall not affect the enforceability and validity of the other covenants.

     19. INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING. Employer or any other payor may withhold from any
compensation or benefits payable under this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement such Federal,
State, City or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or
ruling.

     20. OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any payment or benefit received or
to be received by Employee is triggered by an event described in subparagraph (d) of Paragraph 9 of
this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, whether such payment or benefit is pursuant to the
terms of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement
with Employer or any Affiliate of Employer (hereinafter, all such payments and benefits being
sometimes referred to as “Total Payments”), and would not be deductible, either in whole or in
part, by Employer or an Affiliate making such payment or providing such benefit as a result of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then, to the extent
necessary to make such portion of the Total Payments deductible (and after taking into account any
reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in any such other
plan, arrangement or agreement), (A) the cash portion of the Total Payments provided in this
Paragraph 20 shall first be reduced (if necessary, to zero (0)), and (B) all other non-cash Total
Payments under this Paragraph 20 shall next be reduced (if necessary, to zero (0)); provided,

14

 

however, that the Employee’s payment shall only be reduced by this Paragraph 20 if Employer
determines that reducing the Total Payments would result in greater after-tax proceeds to the
Employee than if no such reduction in Total Payments had occurred. Any determination required by
the preceding sentence shall be made by independent certified public accountants or tax counsel
(hereinafter, such party shall sometimes be hereinafter referred to as the “Independent Adviser”)
selected by Employer, the selection of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Employee. In making
Employer’s determination as to the application and effect of this Paragraph 20 on any payments or
benefits received or to be received by Employee, (i) no portion of the Total Payments shall be
taken into account which in the opinion of the Independent Adviser does not constitute a “parachute
payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, including by reason of Section
280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code; (ii) those Total Payments provided under this Paragraph 20 shall be
reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments (other than those referred to in
clause (i)) in their entirety constitute reasonable compensation for services actually rendered
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to
disallowance as deductions, in the opinion of the Independent Adviser; and (iii) the value of any
non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be
determined by the Company’s independent certified public accountants in accordance with the
principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

     21. WAIVER. The waiver of a breach of any term of this Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement by any of the parties hereto shall not operate or be construed as a waiver by
such party of the breach of any other term of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement or as
