5.3 hereof, the rights of the parties upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term or any Extension Term shall be as follows:

(a) Death, Total Disability, Resignation, and Termination by the Company for
Cause. If the Triggering Event was Employee’s Death, Total Disability (defined below),
Resignation, or a Termination by the Company for Cause (defined below), then Employee shall
be entitled to receive Employee’s Annual Base Compensation and accrued but unused vacation
time through the date of the Triggering Event, and to continue to participate in the
Company’s employee welfare plans and programs (including, without limitations, health
insurance plans) through the date of the Triggering Event and, thereafter, only to the

(i) Employee’s Annual Base Compensation and accrued but unpaid vacation through the date
thereof; (ii) payment of Employee’s Incentive Compensation Bonus, if any, pro rated to the

subsection 5.2(b), any payment or benefit that the Employee receives shall be treated as a
“separate payment” for the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
(“Code”). Employee’s entitlement to the benefits provided in subsections 5.2(b)(ii) and
(iii) are contingent on Employee signing a Separation Agreement and General Release provided
by the Company. The Company intends to rely on the involuntary separation from service
exception of Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) if the Employee receives any payment
or benefit due to his Termination by the Company Without Cause.

be in no event later than March 15 following the close of the Company’s fiscal year); and
(iii) the Change of Control Severance Benefit. Employee’s entitlement to the benefits
provided in subsections 5.2(c)(ii) and (iii) is contingent on Employee signing a Separation
Agreement and General Release provided by the Company within a reasonable period of time
following the date the Separation Agreement and General Release is provided to Employee.
“Change of Control Severance Benefit” means a lump-sum payment, less required tax
withholding, equal to two times the Employee’s Annual Base Compensation at the time of
termination, plus one (1) times Emplolyee’s Incentive Compensation Target at the time of
Employee’s termination. The Change of Control Severance Benefit shall be paid within
thirty (30) days from the date the Sepearation and Release Agreement, executed by Employee,
is received by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the
Compensation Committee determines that the Employee is a Specified Employee then his Change
of Control Severance Benefit due under this paragraph (c) shall be made no earlier than the
six (6) month anniversary of the Triggering Event or upon the death of the Employee, if
earlier, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if and to the extent that any payments and rights provided
under this Agreement would cause Employee to be subject to excise tax under Section 280G or
Section 4999 of the Code, or the corresponding section(s) of any future federal tax law,
then the amount of payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of
any such excise tax.

(d) Cessation of Entitlements and Company Right of Offset. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all of Employee’s rights to salary, Employee benefits, fringe
benefits and bonuses hereunder (if any) which would otherwise accrue after the termination
of the Employment Period shall cease upon the date of such termination. The Company may
offset any loans, cash advances or fixed amounts which Employee owes the Company against any
amounts it owes Employee under this Agreement.

options within ninety (90) days from date of the termination of his employment.

without limitation any prior compensation plans or compensation agreements entered into between
Employee and the Company.

6.5 Tax Provisions.

(a) Compliance With Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is
intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of section 409A of Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the “Code”), so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any amounts payable or
benefits provided hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in which
such amounts or benefits would otherwise actually be distributed, provided or otherwise made
available to Employee. This Agreement shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner
consistent with this intent. Any provision that would cause any amount payable or benefit provided
under this Agreement to be includable in the gross income of Employee under Code section 409A(a)(1)
shall have no force and effect unless and until amended to cause such amount or benefit to not be
so includable (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code section 409A and
may be made by Company without the consent of Employee). In particular, to the extent Employee
becomes entitled to receive a payment or a benefit upon an event that does not constitute a
permitted distribution event under Code section 409A(a)(2), then notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, such payment or benefit will be made or provided to Employee on the
earlier of (i) Employee’s “separation from service” with Company (determined in accordance with
Code section 409A); provided however, that if Employee is a “specified Employee” (within the
meaning of Code section 409A), Employee’s date of payment shall be made on the date which is 6
months after the date of Employee’s separation of service with Company or (ii) Employee’s death.
Any reference in this Agreement to Code section 409A shall also include any proposed, temporary or
final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such section by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

(b) Compliance With Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction of any payment to Employee
hereunder will be limited or eliminated by the application of Code section 162(m), which generally
limits the deduction of compensation paid by public corporations in excess of $1 million annually
to certain executives, such payment shall be delayed until the earliest date at which the Company
reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment would not be limited or eliminated by the
application of Code section 162(m) or the calendar year during which the Employee’s employment with
the Company terminates.

6.6 Amendments. No change, modification or amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto.

 

11

 

6.7 Waiver. The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
by Employee shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by Employee. The
waiver by Employee of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company shall not operate
as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Company.

6.8 Venue, Jurisdiction, Etc. Employee hereby agrees that any suit, action or
proceeding relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the Eighteenth
Judicial Circuit, DuPage County, State of Illinois or in the District Court of the United States of
America for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, and in either case Employee hereby
submits to the jurisdiction of each such court. Employee hereby waives and agrees not to assert, by
way of motion or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any right of removal, any claim
that Employee is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the
suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit,
action or proceeding is improper. Employee consents and agrees to service of process or other legal
summons for purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding by registered mail addressed to Employee
at Employee’s address listed in the business records of the Company. Employee and the Company do
each hereby waive any right to trial by jury that Employee or it may have concerning any matter
relating to this Agreement.

6.9 Indemnification of Employee. Employee is hereby entitled to indemnification for
Employee’s acts or omissions in Employee’s capacity as an Employee or officer of the Company to the
same extent as the Company’s other senior Employees and in the manner provided by the Company’s
bylaws.

6.10 Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. The Company shall maintain adequate
Directors and Officers liability insurance coverage, which shall include Employee in Employee’s
capacity as an Officer. The adequacy of the Directors and Officers liability insurance coverage
shall be determined annually by the Board of Directors at its reasonable discretion.

6.11 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining portion or portions shall nevertheless be valid, enforceable and
carried into effect.

6.12 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

 5.2 Rights Upon Occurrence of a Triggering Event. Subject to the provisions of Section
5.3 hereof, the rights of the parties upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term or any Extension Term shall be as follows:

(a) Death, Total Disability, Resignation, and Termination by the Company for
Cause. If the Triggering Event was Employee’s Death, Total Disability (defined below),
Resignation, or a Termination by the Company for Cause (defined below), then Employee shall
be entitled to receive Employee’s Annual Base Compensation and accrued but unused vacation
time through the date of the Triggering Event, and to continue to participate in the
Company’s employee welfare plans and programs (including, without limitations, health
insurance plans) through the date of the Triggering Event and, thereafter, only to the
extent permitted under the terms of such plans and programs.

(b) Termination by Company Without Cause. If the Triggering Event was a
Termination by the Company Without Cause, then Employee shall be entitled to receive
(i) Employee’s Annual Base Compensation and accrued but unpaid vacation through the date
thereof; (ii) payment of Employee’s Incentive Compensation Bonus, if any, pro rated to the
Employee’s date of termination (payable at the same time other members of the Senior
Executive Team are paid their respective incentive compensation bonuses which shall be in no
event later than March 15 following the close of the Company’s fiscal year); and (iii) the
Severance Benefit. “Severance Benefit” means a payment equal to the Employee’s Annual Base
Compensation as of the date of termination, payable according the Company’s regular payroll
schedule, less required tax withholding, commencing within thirty (30) days from the date
Company receives the Separation Agreement and General Release executed by Employee. For
purposes of this subsection 5.2(b), any payment or benefit that the Employee receives shall
be treated as a “separate payment” for the application of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code (“Code”). Employee’s entitlement to the benefits provided in subsections 5.2(b)
(ii) and (iii) are contingent on Employee signing a Separation Agreement and General Release
provided by the Company. The Company intends to rely on the involuntary separation from
service exception of Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) if the Employee receives any
payment or benefit due to his Termination by the Company Without Cause.

(c) Termination Arising Out of a Change of Control. If the Triggering Event was

entitled to receive (i) Employee’s Annual Base Compensation and accrued but unpaid vacation
through the date thereof; (ii) payment of a Employee’s Incentive Compensation Bonus, if any,
pro rated to Employee’s date of termination (payable at the same time other members of the
Senior Executive Team are paid their respective incentive compensation bonuses which shall
be in no event later than March 15 following the close of the Company’s fiscal year); and
(iii) the Change of Control Severance Benefit. Employee’s entitlement to the benefits
provided in subsections 5.2(c) (ii) and (iii) is contingent on Employee signing a Separation
Agreement and General Release provided by the Company within a reasonable period of time
following the date the Separation Agreement and General Release is provided to Employee.
“Change of Control Severance Benefit” means a lump-sum payment, less required tax
withholding, equal to one and one-half times the Employee’s Annual Base Compensation at the
time of termination, plus one (1) times the Incentive Compensation Target at the time of
termination. The Change of Control Severance Benefit shall be paid within thirty days from
the date the executed Separation Agreement and General Release is received by the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the Compensation Committee determines that
the Employee is a Specified Employee then his Change of Control Severance Benefit due under
this paragraph (c) shall be made no earlier than the six (6) month anniversary of the
Triggering Event or upon the death of the Employee, if earlier, pursuant to Section 409A of
the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if and to
the extent that any payments and rights provided under this Agreement would cause Employee
to be subject to excise tax under Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Code, if the
corresponding section(s) of any future federal tax law, then the
amount of the payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of any
such excise tax.
