DEDICATED HOSTING SERVICE DESCRIPTION

QWEST MASTER INTERNET SERVICES AGREEMENT

ARTICLE I. HOSTING COLOCATION TERMS. The terms set forth in this Article I shall apply to all
dedicated hosting customers of Qwest. If Customer orders managed hosting service, then the terms
set forth in Article II (“Managed Hosting Terms”) shall also apply.

1. DEFINITIONS. Except as set forth in this Section 1 or as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit H,
capitalized terms shall have the definitions assigned to them in the Agreement. Except as
otherwise set forth herein, technical terms commonly used in the industry that appear in this
Exhibit H shall be so construed.

“Authorized Representative” means an employee, agent, contractor or other person that Customer
designates in writing as having authority to have access to the CyberCenter and Premises on
Customer’s behalf. Customer may, at no additional charge, designate up to three (3) Authorized
Representatives who will each be granted CyberCenter facility access badges. Any additional
Authorized Representatives will be granted CyberCenter facility access badges at the price set
forth in the “Additional Services” section of the Hosting Order Form. Customer may replace an
Authorized Representative upon ten (10) business days prior written notice.

“Change Management Order Form” (or “CMO Form”) means a valid Qwest change order form that is
submitted by Customer which requests certain additions, changes and deletions to the Services,
service components and additional features contained in the Hosting Order Form.

“CyberCenter” means a particular Qwest facility within which the Premises are located.

“Hosting Order Form” means the Order Form detailing the Hosting Services, service components and
additional features, including the applicable rates, charges and quantities for each (i.e., the
pricing tables) ordered by Customer, as documented in Exhibit H2 and as may be amended in writing
by the parties.

“New Charges” means those new MRCs and/or NRCs that are associated with changes or additions that
Customer wishes to make to any of its existing Hosting Service.

“Premises” means that area within a CyberCenter in which CPE is installed pursuant to this Exhibit
and the Hosting Order Form.

“Software” means software (including third party software) and related documentation, if any,
provided by Qwest to Customer in connection with any of the Services.

“Start of Service Date” means the date upon which Qwest makes the applicable Service available for
Customer’s use.

2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION. This Exhibit H sets forth the description of Qwest’s Dedicated Hosting
service (referred to herein as the “Service” or the “Hosting Service”) as provided pursuant to the
Agreement. Except for any changes made to the Hosting Order Form pursuant to Section 6.2 of this
Exhibit H, all terms and conditions of this Exhibit H and the Hosting Order Form (Exhibit H2) and
the Agreement entered into between the parties shall prevail over any conditions in any other Order
Form, Customer purchase orders, payments or other forms.

A detailed, technical description of the Hosting Service and its various components (the “Service
Description”), which is subject to change at Qwest’s sole discretion, is available upon request
from the Qwest sales representative. The Service Description is subject in all respects to the
Agreement between Customer and Qwest. In addition to the termination remedies set forth in the
Agreement, Customer may terminate this Exhibit without liability (other than for charges accrued
but unpaid as of the termination date) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice if Qwest
materially and adversely changes the Service Description, so long as written notice of such
termination is delivered to Qwest within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such material
adverse change. If Customer does not deliver such notice to Qwest within the specified period,
Customer will be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Exhibit.

In general, the Service is comprised of the following service components and features and will vary
depending upon those Services, features and components that Customer orders pursuant to the Hosting
Order Form:

(a) CyberCenter Facilities — the structure, equipment and systems that make up the
CyberCenter includes monitoring systems, power distribution, storage and backup infrastructure,
LAN/WAN connectivity equipment, heating/ventilating/air conditioning (HVAC) systems and fire
detection and suppression systems provided for the delivery of the Service.

(b) Space — the Service includes the physical space (e.g. rack, cage, cabinet) which is
provided for the installation and operation of the CPE.

(c) Power — all Premises are provided with standard amounts of power in order to power the

Qwest, as more fully described in Article II (“Managed Hosting Terms”).

(e) Monitoring Services — the systems and personnel required to provide monitoring of CPE,
which may include system checks, network hardware checks and other monitoring services.

Service-related events, including monitoring services and informational reports (e.g., bandwidth
utilization, web server statistics and trouble ticket tracking).

(g) Internet Bandwidth — the Service includes a high-speed network connection to the
Internet via an Ethernet LAN connection from the CPE to either the Qwest backbone (if Service is
provided at an Out of Region CyberCenter) or to the GSP backbone (if the Service is provided at an
In Region CyberCenter).

(h) 24x7 Call Center and Customer Support — the Service includes problem management
systems and personnel which are available 24x7x365.

QWEST MASTER INTERNET SERVICES AGREEMENT

(i) Other Services — additional services may include wiring cross-connects to other
network services (e.g., frame relay or ATM networks), domain name registrations and transfers, and
other ancillary services. In addition, Customer may also order certain data storage services from
Qwest, which are provided pursuant to a separate Service Exhibit.

All Service is subject to facilities and capacity availability. Prior to providing Service, a
completed Hosting Order Form (if not already completed and attached hereto as Exhibit H2) must be
submitted by Customer and accepted by Qwest. Qwest reserves the right to reject any Hosting Order
Form in its reasonable discretion. All accepted Hosting Order Forms shall be governed by the terms
of the Agreement and this Exhibit H.

3. HOSTING TERMS.

3.1 PREMISES.

(a) License Grant. Qwest hereby grants to Customer a limited, personal, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license (“License”) to access the CyberCenter as reasonably necessary in order to
install, maintain and operate Customer’s CPE and the Customer Web Site (if applicable) within the
Premises. Customer and its Authorized Representatives shall access and use the CyberCenter and
Premises only for the foregoing purposes and to interconnect with Qwest’s network. Customer has
not been granted any real property interest in the Premises or CyberCenter and has no rights as a
tenant or otherwise under any property or landlord/tenant laws, rules or regulations. The
following items are prohibited in the CyberCenter: explosives, tobacco-related products, weapons,
cameras (e.g., video, web, etc.), video tape recorders, flammable liquid or gases or similar
materials, electro-magnetic devices, or other materials or equipment that Qwest, at any time and at
its sole discretion, deems prohibited. Customer and its Authorized Representatives shall not alter
or tamper with any property or space within the CyberCenter. Customer is solely responsible for
assessing its own computer and transmission network needs and the results to be obtained therefrom.
The License is co-terminus with the term of Service ordered hereunder and is subject and
subordinate to the underlying ground or facilities lease or other superior right by which Qwest has
acquired its interest in the CyberCenter. Neither the License, nor the use of the CyberCenter or
payment of any charges by Customer shall: (a) create or vest in Customer any easement or other
property right, including any roof or subfloor rights, of any nature in the Premises or
CyberCenter; nor (b) limit or restrict Qwest’s right to access, operate and use the Premises,
CyberCenter and facilities therein. Any additional access or property rights including, but not
limited to, any roof or subfloor rights shall be contemplated and granted under separate agreement.

(b) Access to Premises. Customer and its Authorized Representatives shall comply with the
requirements of any lease, rules and regulations of Qwest or its lessor, including, but not limited
to, the Qwest Standards for Facility Security and Rules of Conduct (the “Standards”). A current
copy of the Standards, which are subject to change at Qwest’s sole discretion, is available upon
request from the Qwest Call Management Center. Only Authorized Representatives shall be permitted
to access the Premises and the CyberCenter on Customer’s behalf. Qwest, at its sole discretion may
refuse to allow an Authorized Representative to enter the CyberCenter. Authorized Representatives
entering the CyberCenter in order to access the Premises may, at Qwest’s sole discretion, be
required to be accompanied by an authorized employee or agent of Qwest (the “Escort”). All of
Customer’s work in the CyberCenter and Premises shall be performed in a safe and workmanlike
manner. Customer’s work operations in and around the Premises may be suspended if, in Escort’s
sole discretion, any hazardous conditions arise or any unsafe or insecure practices are being
conducted by an Authorized Representative. Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Qwest, its affiliates, and contractors from any claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees), arising out of or related to any damages caused by Customer, its
Authorized Representatives, employees, agents and contractors to any part of the CyberCenter,
Qwest’s equipment or equipment of Qwest’s customers.

3.2 CPE.

(a) CPE and Software Ordering. Except as set forth in the Service Description or unless
the parties agree in writing otherwise, Customer is solely responsibility for the ordering,
installation, operation and Service compatibility of all CPE required to enable Customer to receive
the Service. Prior to installation and thereafter upon Qwest’s reasonable request, Customer will
provide Qwest an updated list of all CPE installed or to be installed in the Premises. If
requested by Customer, Qwest shall, subject to availability and on Customer’s behalf, obtain
certain CPE (which also may include Software and/or other materials). Any CPE provided to Customer
by Qwest shall be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of a separate agreement or order
form. Customer shall purchase the CPE and/or Software, as applicable, from Qwest and pay to Qwest
all charges associated therewith, including any applicable shipping charges. If any CPE or
Software not provided by Qwest impairs Customer’s use of any Service: (a) Customer shall remain
liable for the payment of all Service charges; and (b) any applicable Service specifications or
service levels may not apply. All CPE and Software provided by Qwest are subject to the terms,
rights and warranties set forth in the manufacturer’s or publisher’s warranty or end-user license
applicable to such CPE or Software, with no warranty of any kind from Qwest. Customer grants Qwest
a security interest in the CPE and other Customer property located in the CyberCenter for purposes
of securing any amounts owed by Customer to Qwest.

(b) Installation and Changing of CPE. Except as otherwise set forth in the Service
Description, Customer shall engineer, furnish, install and test, at its sole cost and expense, all
CPE. If, however, Qwest is installing CPE on Customer’s behalf, then certain provisions of this
Subsection may not apply. Prior to installing CPE (“CPE Installation”) or making any CPE or
logical configuration changes (“CPE Change”), Customer must so notify Qwest in writing. In the
case of CPE Installation, Customer must submit engineering plans and specifications (“CPE
Installation Plans”) pertaining to the CPE Installation for Qwest’s approval in the form required
by Qwest. In the case of CPE Change, Customer must advise Qwest in writing of the nature of such
CPE Change and may not attempt to make such CPE Change until Qwest approves such CPE Change in
writing. Qwest shall notify Customer of its approval of such CPE Installation Plans or CPE Change
as soon as commercially reasonable (which in some cases will be immediate approval, but will not be
later than five (5) business days after receiving Customer’s written notice). In the case of CPE
Installation, Qwest shall also provide a written response (“Qwest Response”) that will include
space assignment, any applicable NRCs in order to prepare the CyberCenter or Premises for
Customer’s use (such as custom wiring, custom construction of cage or dividing walls, etc.), and
the date when the Premises will be ready for installation of the CPE. CPE Installation and any CPE
Changes shall not begin until Qwest grants permission to commence same and may, at Qwest’s sole
discretion, be under the direct supervision of an Escort. All CPE shall be clearly labeled with
Customer’s name and contact information. Upon completion of CPE Installation, Customer shall
remove all installation material from the CyberCenter and Premises and shall restore same to their
pre-installation condition.

DEDICATED HOSTING SERVICE DESCRIPTION

QWEST MASTER INTERNET SERVICES AGREEMENT

(c) Maintenance. Qwest will conduct routine, scheduled maintenance within its
CyberCenters as set forth in the SLA, during which time the CPE may be inaccessible by Customer or
unable to transmit or receive data. Unless Qwest expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Qwest
shall have no obligation to maintain the CPE and/or any Customer software.

(d) CPE Relocation. Qwest may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, relocate any
CPE (“Non-Emergency CPE Relocation”) and will use commercially reasonable efforts relocate such CPE
to a location which will afford comparable environmental conditions and accessibility. The parties
will work together in good faith to minimize any potential, resulting disruption of Service. If an
emergency event requires the immediate rearrangement or relocation of CPE (“Emergency CPE
Relocation”), Qwest may rearrange or relocate the CPE (with the same care used by Qwest in handling
its own equipment) as is reasonably necessary to respond to the emergency, and Customer authorizes
Qwest to take such remedial actions. Qwest shall use reasonable commercial efforts to notify
Customer prior to performing the necessary Emergency CPE Relocation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of an emergency in the CyberCenter, Qwest’s work shall take precedence over
Customer’s operations in the Premises. Qwest will bear the cost of any Emergency CPE Relocation of
any Non-Emergency CPE Relocation and will reimburse Customer for any direct damages caused to the
CPE as a result of the CPE relocation where such damage is the result of Qwest’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

(e) Qwest Inspection and Remedial Rights. Qwest may (but is not obligated to) make
periodic inspections of CPE (“CPE Inspection”) upon reasonable advance notice to Customer, and
Customer shall have the right to be present during CPE Inspection. If, however, such prior notice
is not commercially practicable, Qwest may make such CPE Inspection immediately, but shall
thereafter provide notice of the CPE Inspection to Customer. The making of, or failure to make,
CPE Inspections shall not give rise to any new, or alter any existing, obligations or liabilities
of the parties under this Exhibit H. If the CPE is not installed and maintained in accordance with
the terms of this Exhibit H, and Customer has not corrected such non-compliance within ten (10)
days after receipt of notice thereof from Qwest, Qwest may either: (i) suspend the Services; or
(ii) correct such non-compliance at Customer’s expense. If such condition poses either an
immediate safety threat to people or an immediate threat to Qwest’s CyberCenter or network
facilities, Qwest may, immediately and without notice perform such work and take such action that
it deems reasonably necessary (“Corrective Action”). If Qwest engages in such Corrective Action,
Qwest shall not be liable for any CPE damage or Service interruption. As soon as practicable after
taking such Corrective Action, Qwest will so notify Customer in writing and Customer shall
reimburse all expenses reasonable incurred by Qwest in connection therewith.

(f) Removal of CPE. Within ten (10) calendar days of the expiration or termination of
this Exhibit or the Agreement, Customer shall: (i) remove all CPE (including any other Customer
property located in the CyberCenter, but excluding any CPE that is owned or leased by
Qwest) from the CyberCenter at its own cost and expense (except where Qwest provides such CPE
removal service in the case of certain managed services ordered by Customer, as defined in the
Service Description); and (ii) return to a Qwest CyberCenter employee any CPE that is owned or
leased by Qwest. If Customer fails to remove its CPE as required by this Subsection, Qwest may,
upon ten (10) calendar days written notice, either (a) return such CPE to Customer’s address set
forth in the Agreement; or (b) deem such CPE to be abandoned and move any such CPE to secure
storage, and/or liquidate or otherwise dispose of the CPE in any commercially reasonable manner.
If Qwest elects to pursue any of these remedies, Qwest shall have no liability to Customer and
Customer shall bear risk of loss and shall be responsible for all associated costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
subsection, if Customer owes Qwest an outstanding balance at the expiration or termination of this
Exhibit or the Agreement, Qwest may, in addition to the foregoing remedies, retain any CPE or other
Customer property located in the CyberCenter and, upon ten (10) calendar days written notice to
Customer, sell them to satisfy such unpaid sums. Any proceeds of such sale that remain after costs
of sale (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and satisfaction of any outstanding balance owed by
Customer to Qwest will be returned to Customer.

3.3 MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Insurance. In order to provide Customer with physical access to the CyberCenter
and proximity to equipment owned by third parties, Customer shall at all times during the Term of
this Exhibit, at its own cost and expense, carry and maintain the following insurance coverage with
insurers having a minimum “Best’s” rating of A VII (A-7):

	 	(i)	 	“All Risk” Property insurance covering all CPE located in the Premises in an amount not
less than its full replacement cost;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Commercial General Liability insurance covering claims for bodily injury, death,
personal injury or property damage (including loss of use) occurring or arising out of the
license, use or occupancy of the CyberCenter or Premises by Customer, including coverage
for premises-operation, products/completed operations and contractual liability with
respect to the liability assumed by Customer hereunder. The limits of insurance shall not
be less than: (1) Each Occurrence — $2,000,000, (2) General Aggregate — $4,000,000, (3)
Products/Completed Operations — $2,000,000, and (4) Personal & Advertising Injury -
$2,000,000;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Professional Liability insurance (including Multimedia Errors & Omissions insurance)
insuring against any liability arising out of the use or publication of the Customer Data
or the Customer Web Site at the CyberCenter. Such insurance shall be in the amount of
$2,000,000. Such insurance shall provide a retroactive date prior to the date of this
Agreement and an extended reporting period of not less than three (3) years after the
termination of this Exhibit;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Workers’ Compensation insurance with statutory limits as required in the state(s) of
operation; and providing coverage for any employee entering onto the Premises, even if not
required by statute. Employer’s Liability or “Stop Gap” insurance with limits of not less
than $100,000 each accident; and
	 
	 	(v)	 	Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance covering the ownership, operation and
maintenance of all owned, non-owned and hired motor vehicles used in connection with this
Agreement, with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property
damage.

The insurance limits required herein may be obtained through any combination of primary and excess
or umbrella liability insurance. If applicable, Customer shall require its subcontractors and
agents to maintain the same insurance. Customer shall forward to Qwest certificate(s) of such
insurance upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and upon any renewal of such insurance during
the Term. The certificate(s) shall provide that: (i) Qwest Communications Corporation (and its
participating affiliates) be named as additional insured as their interest may appear with respects
the Agreement; (ii) thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation, material change or
exclusion to any required policy shall be given to Qwest; and (iii) coverage is primary and not
excess of, or contributory with, any other valid and collectible insurance purchased or maintained
by Qwest.

QWEST MASTER INTERNET SERVICES AGREEMENT

(b) Qwest Control. Customer may access a wide variety of network management, billing, and
reporting tools via Qwest Control, a proprietary web-based communications management platform that
allows customers to control many aspects of its networked services (including, Hosting Service).
Qwest Control allows customers to access these communications management tools via a secure Web
site (https://control.qwest.com) on a 24x7x365 basis. In order to access and use Qwest
Control, Customer will need: (i) to review and agree to the terms of the Qwest Control user
agreement posted at https://control.qwest.com (“User Agreement”); (ii) a personal computer
with Internet access and a web browser; and (iii) an enterprise ID, user name, and a password
(which will be provided by Qwest). By accessing the Qwest Control site or using the Qwest Control
service, Customer agrees to abide by all of the terms of the User Agreement.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES.

4.1 Customer agrees that during the Term of the Agreement, Qwest may publicly refer to Customer,
orally and/or in writing, as a dedicated hosting customer of Qwest (e.g., sample client list), and
upon termination of the Agreement, Qwest’s right to publicly refer to Customer as a dedicated
hosting customer shall terminate. Any other public reference to Customer by Qwest shall require
the express written consent of Customer.

4.2 Subject to reasonable availability and in connection with the Service, Qwest shall, at
Customer’s reasonable request, assign Internet address space and/or order domain names for the
benefit of Customer, and Qwest will route those addresses on Qwest’s network; it being understood
and agreed that neither Customer nor any of its End Users shall have the right to route these
addresses. Qwest shall retain ownership of all such IP addresses, and upon termination of this
Exhibit, Customer’s access to such IP addresses shall terminate. Customer shall directly pay any
MRCs and NRCs associated with the domain names to the domain name registrar.

5. TERM. The term of this Exhibit H shall commence upon the Effective Date of the Agreement (or,
if applicable, an amendment to the Agreement if this Exhibit H is added to the Agreement after its
Effective Date) and conclude upon the expiration or termination of the last-to-expire (or
terminate) Service ordered hereunder. The term for Service ordered hereunder will commence on the
Start of Service Date and will continue for twelve (12) months from the Start of Service Date,
unless a longer term commitment is indicated in the Hosting Order Form (the “Minimum Service
Term”). After the conclusion of the Minimum Service Term, the Service will automatically renew and
remain in effect for consecutive one (1) year renewal terms (“Renewal Term”). Upon written notice
to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the conclusion any such Minimum Service Term
or the Renewal Term, as the case may be, either party may terminate the Service associated with
this Exhibit. If Customer was granted a discount or waiver of any NRCs hereunder based upon
Customer’s Minimum Service Term commitment (an “NRC Discount”) and if the Services provisioned
hereunder are terminated prior to the conclusion of such Minimum Service Term for reasons other
than a default by Qwest, Customer shall pay to Qwest an amount equal to the NRC Discount, in
addition to any other applicable charges set forth in the Agreement. If Customer requests a
partial turn-down of Service prior to the conclusion of the Minimum Service Term, then Customer
shall pay any applicable early Cancellation Charges for the affected Services.

6. RATES.

6.1 PRICING. Customer shall pay all applicable MRCs and NRCs as set forth in the Hosting Order
Form (as may be modified by the parties), which will commence billing as of the Start of Service
Date. Qwest will not modify the rates set forth in a Hosting Order Form during the first twelve
(12) months following the Start of Service Date (“Rate Lock Term”), unless such modification is
based upon Regulatory Activity. After the expiration of the Rate Lock Term, Qwest may modify the
rates set forth in a Hosting Order Form or eliminate certain components of the Service upon sixty
(60) calendar days prior written notice to Customer; provided, however, Qwest may reduce the sixty
(60) day notice period, as necessary, if such modification is based upon Regulatory Activity. If
Qwest materially increases the rates set forth in a Hosting Order Form, Customer may terminate the
affected Service, so long as written notice of such termination is delivered to Qwest within thirty
(30) calendar days of the effective date of such change. If Customer does not deliver such notice
to Qwest within such thirty (30) day period, Customer will be deemed to have waived its right to
terminate the affected Service. All rates and charges for new Hosting Services will be quoted by
Qwest on an “individual case basis.” Pricing for non-standard hosting services that are not set
forth in the Hosting Order Form and/or the Service Description (including, without limitation, any
non-standard professional or consulting service requested by Customer or its Authorized
Representative) are provided by Qwest at Qwest’s then-current rates. The rates set forth in the
Hosting Order Form do not include any costs associated with CPE, all of which charges shall be
additional. If Service is being provided by Qwest at an In Region CyberCenter, then: (i) In Region
connectivity to the global Internet is provided by a separate GSP pursuant to the contract between
the GSP and Customer; and (ii) a separate MRC for such GSP Services will appear on Customer’s
invoices; provided, however, the total Ethernet MRCs for the Hosting Service (i.e., the sum of the
GSP MRCs plus the Qwest MRCs) shall equal those MRCs listed under the “Total Ethernet MRCs” column
heading of the “Ethernet Pricing Tables,” which is set forth in the Hosting Order Form. The
applicable MRCs for the GSP Service provided by the GSP listed under the “GSP MRC” column of the
Hosting Order Form are solely for illustrative purposes and for the convenience of the Customer.
If Service is not being provided by Qwest at an In Region CyberCenter, then the applicable MRCs
(e.g., 1 year, 2 year, etc.) for the Hosting Service provided by Qwest shall be those listed under
the “Total Ethernet MRCs” column heading of the “Ethernet Pricing Tables,” which is set forth in
the Hosting Order Form, and the GSP Services and MRCs do not apply.

6.2 CHANGES TO HOSTING SERVICE. If Customer wishes to make any “changes” (i.e., modifications
and/or additions) to any of its existing Services, Customer may either: (a) contact its designated
Qwest sales representative in order to execute a new Hosting Order Form containing such changes and
the applicable New Charges, or (b) if Customer is visiting one of Qwest’s CyberCenters, then
Customer may complete a CMO Form (which is available in the CyberCenter) requesting such changes
and submit it to a CyberCenter employee; provided, however, the such employee shall have no
authority to bind Qwest contractually or to quote pricing for any of the requested changes
indicated on the CMO Form. Qwest may reject all or any portion of the CMO Form in its reasonable
discretion. If accepted by Qwest, those new Services that were changed pursuant to the CMO Form
will be subject to New Charges, at the MRCs and NRCs set forth in the Hosting Order Form, and if
such MRCs or NRCs are not specified in the Hosting Order Form, then the New Charges will be set
forth in a new Hosting Order Form. The effective date for the New Charges will be as of the date
that Qwest makes the requested change (and/or addition, as the case may be) in the Services (or
service components or additional features, as the case may be). If the requested changes or
additions are outside the scope of a standard Order Form or CMO Form, then the parties will execute
a mutually agreeable amendment. Under no circumstances may Customer decrease the Ethernet
Bandwidth that Customer previously ordered.

DEDICATED HOSTING SERVICE DESCRIPTION

QWEST MASTER INTERNET SERVICES AGREEMENT

6.3 MISCELLANEOUS. Qwest will not modify the rates set forth in a Hosting Order Form during the
first twelve (12) months following the Start of Service Date (“Rate Lock Term”); provided, however,
Qwest may modify such rates prior to the expiration of the Rate Lock Term if such modification is
based upon Regulatory Activity. After the expiration of the Rate Lock Term, Qwest reserves the
right, upon sixty (60) calendar days prior written notice to Customer, to modify the rates set
forth in a Hosting Order Form or eliminate certain components of the Service; provided, however,
Qwest may reduce the sixty (60) day notice period, as necessary, if such modification is based upon
Regulatory Activity. If Qwest materially increases the rates set forth in a Hosting Order Form,
Customer may terminate the affected Service, so long as written notice of such termination is
delivered to Qwest within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of such change. If
Customer does not deliver such notice to Qwest within such thirty (30) day period, Customer will be
deemed to have waived its right to terminate the affected Service. All rates and charges for new
Hosting Services will be quoted by Qwest on an “individual case basis.” Unless the parties shall
otherwise agree in writing, Customer shall have sole responsibility for ordering, securing
installation and ensuring proper operation of any and all equipment required to enable Customer to
receive the Service. Customer shall not be eligible for any discounts or promotional offers other
than those specifically set forth in this Exhibit H, the Hosting Order Form or in an attachment to
this Exhibit H, all of which shall be signed by Customer and accepted by Qwest.

7. HOSTING COLOCATION SLA. The Internet bandwidth component of the Hosting Service provided
hereunder is subject to the general network SLA, which is effective as of the first day of the
second month after initial installation of Services. In addition, for dedicated hosting customers
with CPE located in a CyberCenter, the Qwest IP Network which is a component when measuring the SLA
(i.e., Network Availability, Network Delay and Reporting Level Goals), shall also include all
network equipment up to, but not including, the first Customer device which is connected to a
Qwest-owned switch. CPE located in a Customer’s rack or cage space is specifically excluded as a
component and shall not be factored in when determining the SLA. In addition, the method of
notifying dedicated hosting customers that the Service is unavailable (see “Reporting Level Goal”
set forth in the SLA) will vary depending upon which level of Service for which Customer contracts
(e.g., Qwest will notify Customer via email if providing “enhanced” service, and via email, fax
and/or phone if providing “premium” service).

8. BACKUP SERVICE.

8.1 DESCRIPTION OF BACKUP SERVICE. Qwest offers three levels of Backup Service: (a) Basic File
Tape Backup (disk to tape); (b) Non-Disruptive Backup (primary to point-in-time copy to tape); and
(c) Point-in-Time Copy (Critical availability redundant access — third mirror). Customer may only
order “Basic File Tape Backup” (disk-to-tape) service under this Exhibit, which are ordered
pursuant to the Hosting Order Form. If Customer wishes to order “Non-Disruptive Backup” or
“Point-in-Time Copy” Backup Services, Customer must also purchase Storage Services from Qwest,
which are provided pursuant to a separate Service Exhibit. A more detailed, technical description
of the Backup Services and its various features and components (the “Backup Service Description”),
which is subject to change at Qwest’s sole discretion, is available upon request from the Qwest
Call Management Center. The Backup Service Description is subject in all respects to the Agreement
between Customer and Qwest. In addition to the termination remedies set forth in the Agreement,
Customer may terminate this Exhibit without liability (other than for charges accrued but unpaid as
of the termination date) upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice if Qwest materially
and adversely changes the Backup Service Description, so long as written notice of such termination
is delivered to Qwest within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of such material
adverse change. If Customer does not deliver such notice to Qwest within the specified period,
Customer will be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Exhibit.

8.2 PROVISION OF BACKUP SERVICE. In order to provide Backup Service, Customer must allow Qwest to
log onto the Customer’s server at the time of installation to validate the Network Interface Card
(NIC) in order to properly configure the Service ordered hereunder, unless Qwest is already
provided with root access as a result of providing certain managed Hosting Service. Customer shall
notify Qwest of any requested changes to their Hosting Services environment (e.g., reconfiguration
of servers, changes in connectivity, Software, operating system, patches, etc.) that may affect the
Service provided hereunder. Qwest shall have no responsibility or liability for maintaining or
supporting Customer’s applications or monitoring of Customer’s database tables or other internal
database features.

8.3 BACKUP SLA. Qwest will restore Customer’s files from off-line storage to on-line storage. The
maximum time to commence backup file restoration depends upon the location of the off-line storage
media. The Backup SLA and corresponding Service credits are as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Offline Storage Location	 	Maximum Time to Begin Restore	 	% of Monthly Invoice Credit
	Online Backup

	 	Within thirty (30) minutes of notification to Qwest Customer Care
	 	 	15	%
	On-site tape

	 	Within thirty (30) minutes of notification to Qwest Customer Care
	 	 	15	%
	Off-site tape

	 	Within two (2) hours of receiving tape from offsite vaulting facility
	 	 	15	%

Credits are stated as a percentage of the MRC associated with the affected Backup Service. Any
credits due pursuant to the Backup SLA shall only be applied against the MRCs of the affected
Backup Service and shall not apply to any other MRCs or NRCs, including, without limitation, any
charges associated with the Hosting Service or any other services provided by Qwest. Service
credits will not be available in cases where the Backup SLA is not met as a result of: (i) the
negligence, acts or omissions of Customer, its employees, contractors or agents or its end users,
including, without limitation, any breach of the above Section 8.1 of this Exhibit H; (ii) the
failure or malfunction of equipment, applications or systems not owned or controlled by Qwest;
(iii) circumstances or causes beyond the control of Qwest, including instances of Force Majeure; or
(iv) scheduled service maintenance, alteration, or implementation (as defined herein). Backup SLAs
only apply to Backup Services provided by Qwest. Accordingly, there are no SLAs associated with
the availability (or unavailability) of Customer’s applications, or monitoring of Customer’s
database tables or other internal database features. In the event that Customer is entitled to
multiple credits under the Backup SLAs and the general network SLA arising from the same event,
such credits shall not be cumulative and Customer shall be entitled to receive only the maximum
single credit available for such event (e.g., Customer shall not be entitled to “double credits” in
the event of network unavailability). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may be entitled to
separate, overlapping credits in the event of unrelated events affecting the Service. Under no
circumstances will Customer be entitled to credits in any one calendar month in excess of charges
for thirty (30) days of Service. Customer’s remedies for any and all claims relating to the
Service shall be limited to those set forth in the SLA.

DEDICATED HOSTING SERVICE DESCRIPTION

QWEST MASTER INTERNET SERVICES AGREEMENT

ARTICLE II. MANAGED HOSTING TERMS. In addition to all of the terms of set forth in Article I
(“Hosting Colocation Terms”), the following terms set forth in this Article II shall only apply to
dedicated hosting customers that order managed hosting services from Qwest.

1. DEFINITIONS.

“Customer Logical Configuration” (or “CLC”) refers to a configuration of components including CPE
(e.g., server, load balancer, firewall, and/or other equipment), software and other system elements
which are utilized in order to provide the Performance Managed Hosting service (i.e., Redundant
Server or ISS). The demarcation point for the CLC begins at the point at which Customer
interconnects to the Qwest IP backbone via one or more redundant feeds in a CyberCenter, and spans
up to and includes the Customer server(s) and operating system(s). The CLC does not include any
Customer application(s).

“Performance Managed Hosting” refers to the dedicated hosting managed service product (currently
Performance Service and Performance ISS Service), whereby Qwest manages and monitors the
CyberCenter and the CLC, including the operating system(s), but not including any Customer
applications (for which Customer is solely responsible for administering, monitoring and managing).

“Performance Service” refers to the cooperating and/or redundant community of servers which are
used to provide the same specific data services (e.g., database, web-based, applications). For
example, a set of two web servers behind a load-balancing device is providing the same specific
data services and therefore constitutes a Performance Service. Specific data services may simply
migrate from server to server when one fails or the specific data services may be active on all of
the servers in a Performance Service. Customer may have more than one Performance Service in its
CLC. The Performance Service includes redundancy and fail-over capabilities that will prevent the
failure of individual components from rendering the overall Performance Service non-Operational (as
defined above), however, the Performance SLA does not guarantee that the individual elements (e.g.,
servers, operating systems, networks, firewalls or Internet connections) will not experience
malfunctions.

“Performance SLA” collectively refers to: (i) the “99.5% Standard SLA”; (ii) the “99.95% Fault
Resilient SLA”; and (iii) the “99.5% Single Server SLA” (as each are more fully described in
Section 4 below). Each Performance SLA measures Qwest’s performance regarding delivery of the
Performance Service, as measured on the basis of the Performance SLAs goals outlined below.

2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION. In general, “Managed Services” refers to the management, consulting and/or
administration services provided by Qwest in connection with the Hosting Service, which may include
hardware, software, operating system and application management and administration; management of
shared infrastructure services (e.g., storage and content distribution); hourly consulting, time
and materials charges and installation assistance. Currently, the various offerings of Managed
Service are “Managed Hosting,” “Performance Managed Hosting,” “Premium Managed Hosting,”
“Application and Database Support,” and “Network Device Management.” A detailed, technical
description of the Managed Hosting Service and its various components are set forth in the Service
Description, as more fully described in Article I, Section 2.

3. ADDITIONAL HOSTING TERMS.

3.1 PREMISES. If Customer orders certain Managed Services that requires the installation of
Software and/or equipment, Customer hereby grants Qwest permission to install and implement such
Software and equipment that is reasonably necessary in order to properly access and monitor the CPE
and Customer Web Site in the course of providing such Service.

3.2 SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY QWEST. Customer shall be granted the right to use certain Software (e.g.,
monitoring or back up agent software) furnished by Qwest in connection with the Managed Service
(“Hosting Software”) in consideration for the payment of any applicable charges and in accordance
with any accompanying documentation. Qwest makes no representations or warranties with respect to
the Hosting Software. Qwest will pass through and assign to Customer all rights and warranties
provided by third party licensors of the Hosting Software to the extent that such licensors permit
such pass through and assignment. Any costs of such assignment shall be borne by Customer. Except
as specifically set forth herein, Qwest has no obligation to provide maintenance or other support
of any kind for the Hosting Software, including without limitation any error corrections, updates,
enhancements or other modifications.

3.3 MAINTENANCE. If Qwest is providing Managed, Performance or Premium Managed Services, then
Customer must enter into the applicable vendor maintenance agreement.

4. SLAS APPLICABLE TO PERFORMANCE MANAGED HOSTING. This Section 4 shall only apply those customers
that order Performance Managed Hosting service.

4.1 PERFORMANCE SLAS.

connectivity, and operating systems. Customer manages and
administers applications (refer to Qwest Detailed Service
Description for complete detail). Depending upon which
Performance Managed Hosting service Customer orders, the
Performance Managed Hosting Services will be “Operational”:
(a) 99.5% of the time (i.e., downtime of no more than 219
minutes per month); or (ii) 99.95% of the time (i.e.,
downtime of no more than 22 minutes per month). For every
hour of Service outage beyond the allowable threshold (i.e.,
219 and 22 minutes), Qwest will pay one day’s credit on
Customer’s entire CLC.	 	Qwest monitors and manages
Customer’s CPE, network

operational 99.5% of the time (i.e.,
downtime of no more than 219 minutes
per month). For every hour of
Service outage beyond the allowable
threshold, Qwest will pay one day’s
credit on each affected server (as
more fully described herein).
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Requirements

	 	Customer must comply with
all terms set forth in the
“SOE” section.
	 	Customer must comply with all
terms set forth in the “SOE”
section. In addition, if a
Customer selects the 99.95%
Fault Resilient SLA, Customer
must purchase dual network
feeds, dual power feeds, dual
supported firewalls, dual
supported load balancers, dual
supported switches, and two or
more identical servers sharing
loads.
	 	Customer must comply with all terms
set forth in the “SOE” section.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Uptime

Availability	 	Uptime service level agreement goal to experience aggregated
Outages of no more than: (a) in the case of the 99.5%
Standard SLA, 219 minutes per month (219 minutes = (100%-
99.5%) x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 30.42 days); and (ii) in the
case of the 99.95% Fault Resilient SLA, 22 minutes per month
(22 minutes = (100% - 99.95%) x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 30.42
days). Qwest meets the applicable SLA in the CLC as long as
it is Operational for the applicable uptime in the SLA set
forth herein as selected by Customer. Qwest will aggregate
the number of Operational and Non-Operational minutes for
purposes of calculating the applicable SLA. If Customer’s
Performance Managed Hosting services in the CLC experience
non-overlapping Outages that collectively exceed the stated
SLA goal selected by Customer (e.g., 219 total minutes for
99.5% Standard SLA and 22 total minutes for 99.95% Fault
Resilient SLA), Customer will be entitled to one SLA credit
per CLC (as calculated below).	 	Uptime service level agreement goal
to experience aggregated Outages of
no more than 219 minutes per server
per month (219 minutes = (100%-
99.5%) x 60 minutes x 24 hours x
30.42 days).
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Outages	 	“Outage” means the simultaneous and continuous failure of one
(or more) Performance Managed Hosting services in a CLC
installed for usage by the Customer. An Outage will be
deemed to occur when the architecture cannot deliver traffic
to the Performance Service or there is a server fault in the
hardware or operating system making the Performance Service
unable to accept traffic. .	 	“Outage” means the simultaneous and
continuous failure of a Customer’s
single server in a Customer server
configuration. An Outage will be
deemed to occur when the
architecture cannot deliver traffic
to the server or there is a server
fault in the hardware or Operating
System making it unable to accept
the traffic.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Operational	 	“Operational” means the traffic delivery to and acceptance of
traffic from the hardware and operating system(s) of a
particular Managed Hosting service is functioning properly in
at least one server in each Performance Managed Hosting
service, as determined by Qwest’s monitoring and management
tools.	 	“Operational” means the traffic
delivery to and the acceptance of
traffic from the hardware and
operating system(s) of a Customer’s
single server is functioning
properly, as determined by Qwest’s
monitoring and management tools.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Non-Operational	 	“Non-Operational” means the traffic delivery to and
acceptance of traffic from each and every server’s hardware
and operating system(s) in that Performance Managed Hosting
service is impeded, as determined by failure to respond to
Qwest’s monitoring and management tools. If 2 or more
Performance Managed Hosting services in a CLC are
Non-Operational at the same time, the overlapping amount of
such Non-Operational time shall only be counted once for
purposes of calculating any Outages (i.e., overlapping
minutes are not counted twice).	 	“Non-Operational” means the traffic
delivery to and acceptance of
traffic from Customer’s individual
server’s hardware and operating
system(s) in that Customer’s server
configuration is impeded, as
determined by failure to respond to
Qwest’s monitoring and management
tools.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Examples

	 	If Customer selects the
99.5% Standard SLA and
Customer’s Performance
Services experience 2
separate, non-overlapping
Outages of 120 and 130
minutes, respectively, in a
given month, then the
Outages would be aggregated
(i.e., 250 minutes) and
since the
	 	If Customer selects the 99.95%
Fault Resilient SLA and
Customer’s Performance
Services experience 2
separate, non-overlapping
Outages of 20 and 30 minutes,
respectively, in a given
month, then the Outages would
be aggregated (i.e., 50
minutes) and since the
aggregated Outages
	 	If Customer selects the 99.5% SS SLA
and a Customer’s single server
experience Outages totaling 250
minutes in a given month, Customer
would be entitled to one day’s
Performance SS MRCs (i.e., 250
Outage minutes — 219 allowable
minutes = 31 minutes, which is
rounded up to one full hour for
purposes of the Performance SLA).

MRCs for one day of the affected
server.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	MRCs	 	“Performance MRCs” collectively refers to the then-existing:
(i) MRCs associated with managing the affected Performance
Service; (ii) Ethernet Bandwidth MRCs associated with the
dedicated hosting service (as set forth in the Hosting Order
Form); and (iii) Rack and/or Cage Space MRCs associated with
the dedicated hosting service (as set forth in the Hosting
Order Form). Performance MRCs do not include any other MRCs
or NRCs, including, without limitation, any other dedicated
hosting charges, any charges associated with CPE, or any
other services provided by Qwest.	 	“Performance SS MRCs” refers to the
then-existing server monitoring and
management MRCs associated with the
affected Performance SS server.
Performance SS MRCs do not include
any other MRCs or NRCs, including,
without limitation, any Ethernet
Bandwidth MRCs associated with the
dedicated hosting service (as set
forth in the Hosting Order Form);
Rack and/or Cage Space MRCs
associated with the dedicated
hosting service (as set forth in the
Hosting Order Form); other dedicated
hosting charges; any charges
associated with CPE or any other
services provided by Qwest.

4.2 SPOE. All Customers purchasing Performance Managed Hosting service must adhere to the approved
CLC configurations and the Performance Managed Hosting standard operating environment(s) (“SOE”)
required by Qwest associated with the Performance Managed Hosting service selected by Customer in
order to qualify for the applicable SLA set forth in this Section. In order to provide the
Performance Managed Hosting Service, Customer shall have shared “root” or “administrator” access to
its servers (“Root Access”). All other devices shall be solely managed by Qwest in order that
Qwest may provide the Performance Managed Hosting Service to Customer as set forth herein.
Customer may not re-configure or re-install any managed devices (e.g. removing or altering a
monitoring agent; altering administrative passwords such as shared root, operating system, kernel
parameters, system directory structure, or disk partition structure, etc) associated with the
Performance Managed Hosting Service. Any such re-imaging shall render the applicable SLA set forth
in this Section null and void. Monitoring and management of Customer environments utilizing
Customer’s own server image will be on an ICB utilizing the SOE management hours purchased by
Customer. Any additional hours required to manage this build above and beyond the SOE management
hours allotment will be invoiced at Qwest’s then-current Hosted consultation rates.

4.3 OUTAGES; PROCESSING OF CREDITS. If an Outage occurs, a trouble ticket will be issued. The
Outage duration is measured from the time the trouble ticket is opened to the time the affected
Performance Managed Hosting service is Operational again. Moreover, for purposes of measuring the
duration of any Outage(s), the applicable non-overlapping time periods shall be aggregated each
month. Once the Outage is resolved, Customer will be notified and a root cause analysis will be
performed. The credits associated with the specific Outage are subject to the terms of this
Section. Customer must initiate a written request within five (5) business days of the last day of
the month in which the Outage occurred and, upon such request, and at the conclusion of the
calendar month, Qwest will measure the cumulative Outages for each affected Performance Managed
Hosting service for that calendar month. A credit shall be applied only to the month in which the
event giving rise to the credit occurred. Outages spanning month-end will be handled as a single
outage and credited appropriately. Any SLA credits will be promptly issued against Customer’s
invoice.

4.4 MAXIMUM SERVICE CREDITS; EXCEPTIONS.

(a) Under no circumstances will Customer be entitled to SLA credits in any one calendar month in
excess of charges for seven (7) days of (i) Performance MRCs for the affected Performance Service
or (ii) Performance ISS MRCs for the affected Performance ISS Service, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, in any single calendar month, Customer would be
eligible to receive SLA credits totaling twenty-four (24) or more days (but for the limitation set
forth in this Section), then, Customer may, at its option and without penalty, either: (a) cancel
the affected Performance Managed Hosting service feature only, but leave this Exhibit H and the
remaining dedicated hosting service in full effect; or (b) terminate this entire Exhibit H,
including the Performance Managed Hosting and the other dedicated hosting services. In either
event, Customer must provide Qwest with written notice of cancellation/termination to the Call
Management Center with a courtesy copy to the attention of the General Counsel (at the contact
address set forth in the Agreement) within five (5) business days following the end of such
calendar month. Such termination will be effective forty-five (45) days after receipt of written
notice by Qwest. Customer will be required to pay all outstanding balances, less any SLA credits
issued by Qwest, and Customer shall pay any de-install charges applicable to the return of the CPE
(e.g., shipping, etc.). Customer’s remedies for any and all claims relating to the Performance
Managed Hosting (e.g., interruptions, deficiencies, etc.) shall be limited to those set forth in
the SLAs set forth in this Section.

(b) In the event of a Network-related outage, as defined in the “Network Availability Goal”
section of the Network SLA, those specific terms, measurements, SLAs, and remedies shall apply. In
the event that Customer is entitled to multiple SLA credits under the SLAs in this Section and the
Network SLA arising from the same event, then such SLA credits shall not be cumulative. Customer
shall be entitled to receive only the maximum single SLA credit available for such event (e.g.,
Customer shall not be entitled to “double credits” in the event of network unavailability).

(c) SLA credits will not be available in cases where the SLA in this Section is not met as a
result of: (a) the negligence, acts or omissions of Customer, its Authorized Representatives,
employees, contractors or agents or its End Users, including, without limitation, the failure of
the CLC to adhere to the SPOE or any re-imaging of the servers by Customer; (b) the failure or
malfunction of equipment, applications or systems not controlled by Qwest; (c) circumstances or
causes beyond the control of Qwest, including instances of Force Majeure; or (d) scheduled service
maintenance, alteration, or implementation, including Normal Maintenance (as defined in this
Exhibit H). The SLAs set forth in this Exhibit H only apply to Performance Managed Hosting
services provided by Qwest. Accordingly, Customer is solely responsible for administering and
managing all aspects of its application(s). There are no SLAs associated with the availability (or
unavailability), administration, monitoring or management of Customer’s application(s).

4.5 MAINTENANCE WINDOW DEFINITION.

(a) Normal Maintenance. Normal Maintenance shall refer to: (a) upgrades of hardware or
software; (b) preventative and necessary maintenance (such as upgrading power supplies), or (c)
upgrades to increase capacity. Normal Maintenance while being conducted may degrade the quality of
Performance Managed Hosting services provided which may include a disruption of the Performance
Managed Hosting services; provided, however, that a disruption related to Normal Maintenance shall
not be deemed to be an Outage. Normal Maintenance shall be undertaken at a time mutually
negotiated and agreed upon by Customer and Qwest during implementation. For maintenance not
covered under mutually agreed upon Normal Maintenance hours, Qwest shall provide two (2) days prior
notice.

(b) Urgent Maintenance. Urgent Maintenance shall refer to efforts to correct hosting
conditions which are likely to cause an Outage and which require immediate correction. Urgent
Maintenance, while being conducted, may degrade the quality of the Performance Managed Hosting
services provided, and which may include an Outage. An outage related to Urgent Maintenance shall
be deemed an Outage for purposes of determining whether the Performance Service is Operational.
Qwest may undertake Urgent Maintenance at any time deemed necessary. Qwest shall provide notice of
Urgent Maintenance to Customer as soon as is commercially practicable under the circumstances.

EXHIBIT 10.82

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

               AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) by and between USEC Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
and [NAME] (the “Executive”) dated as of [DATE].

               WHEREAS, the Executive is currently an employee of the Company;

               WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is
essential to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to foster the continued
employment of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in
Control (as defined in Section 1 hereof) of the Company;

               WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and
encourage the continued attention and dedication of the Executive in the Executive’s assigned
duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from any
possible Change in Control of the Company; and

               WHEREAS, the Board has concluded that the interests of the Company described above can be best
satisfied by agreeing to make certain payments to the Executive if the Executive’s employment is
terminated following a Change in Control;

               NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

               1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
meanings set forth below:

               “Affiliate” shall mean (i) any entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the
Company, (ii) any entity in which the Company has a significant equity interest and (iii) an
affiliate of the Company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act, in each case as determined by the Committee.

“Cause” shall mean any of the following:

(i) the engaging by the Executive in
willful misconduct that is injurious to the Company or its Affiliates;

(ii) the embezzlement or misappropriation
of funds or property of the Company or its Affiliates by the Executive, or
the conviction of the Executive of a felony or the entrance
of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Executive to a felony; or

(iii) the willful failure or refusal by the Executive to substantially perform
his or her duties or responsibilities that continues after demand for substantial
performance is delivered by the Company to the Executive that specifically identifies the manner in

 

 

which the Company believes the Executive has not substantially performed his or
her duties (other than (x) any such failure resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to
Disability, or (y) any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of
Termination by the Executive for Good Reason).

For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be
considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him or her not in good faith and
without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interest of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have
been terminated for Cause unless (A) a reasonable notice shall have been given to him or her
setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for the Company’s intentions to terminate for Cause,
and if such termination is pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) above, and the damage to the Company is
curable, only if the Executive has been provided a period of ten business days from receipt of such
notice to cease the actions or inactions, and he or she has not done so; (B) an opportunity shall
have been provided for the Executive together with his or her counsel, to be heard before the
Board; and (C) if such termination is pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) above, delivery shall have
been made to the Executive of a Notice of Termination from the Board finding that in the good faith
opinion of a majority of the non-management members of the Board he or she was guilty of conduct
set forth in clause (i) or (iii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable
detail. Any determination of Cause made by the Company in accordance with the foregoing procedure

consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or
election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved or
recommended by a vote of at least two-

2

 

thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either
were directors on the Effective Date or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was
previously so approved or recommended;

(iii) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a merger or consolidation that
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving or parent entity) more than 60% of the combined voting power of the
voting securities of the Company or such surviving or parent entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person, directly or

(iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (or any transaction having a similar
effect), other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets to an entity, at least 60% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of which are owned by shareholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

“Committee” shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

as defined or described in the Company’s long term disability benefit plan applicable to executive
officers as in effect at the time the Executive’s disability is incurred.

“Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Good Reason” shall mean, without the Executive’s express written consent, any of the
following, unless such act or failure to act is corrected prior to the Date of Termination
specified in the Notice of Termination given in respect thereof:

(i) the Executive is removed from the Executive’s position as in effect immediately
prior to the Change in Control for any reason other than (A) by reason of death, Disability
or Retirement or (B) for Cause;

3

 

               (ii) the Executive is assigned any duties inconsistent in a material respect
with the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting
relationships), authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the
Change in Control if such assignment results in a diminution in such position, authority,
duties or responsibilities (excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and
inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly
following notice thereof given by the Executive);

               (iii) the Company fails to pay the Executive any amounts otherwise vested and due to
the Executive under any employment agreement or any other compensation plan of the Company
and such failure continues for ten business days following notice to the Company thereof;

               (iv) the Executive’s annual base salary or annual bonus opportunity as in effect
immediately prior to the Change in Control (or thereafter if higher) is reduced (except for
across-the-board reductions similarly affecting all senior executives of the Company and all
senior executives of any Person in control of the Company);

               (v) the failure by the Company to continue to provide the Executive with benefits at
least as favorable in the aggregate as those enjoyed by the Executive under the Company’s
pension, life insurance, medical, health and accident, disability, travel, deferred
compensation and savings plans in which the Executive was participating at the time of the
Change in Control, the taking of any action by the Company that would directly or indirectly
materially reduce such benefits in the aggregate or deprive the Executive of any material
fringe benefit enjoyed by the Executive at the time of the Change in Control unless such
material fringe benefit is replaced with a comparable benefit, or the failure by the Company
to continue to provide the Executive with the number of paid vacation days to which the
Executive is entitled;

               (vi) the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor
to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 9 hereof;

               (vii) any relocation of the Executive’s principal place of business from its location
as of the date immediately preceding a Change in Control, by more than 50 miles; or

               (viii) any purported termination of the Executive’s employment that is not effected
pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 3(b) hereof,
which termination for purposes of this Agreement shall be ineffective.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination shall not be treated as a termination for Good
Reason unless the Executive shall have delivered a Notice of Termination within 90 days of the
Executive’s having actual knowledge of the occurrence of one of such events, stating that the

4

 

Executive intends to terminate employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, any
good faith determination of “Good Reason” made by the Executive shall be conclusive.

          
“Retirement” shall mean the attainment by the Executive of normal retirement age as defined in
the Company’s tax qualified defined benefit pension plan.

          
“Shares” shall mean shares of common stock, $0.10 par value, of the Company, or such other
securities of the Company as may be designated by the Committee from time to time.

          
2.  Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement will commence as of the date hereof
(the “Effective Date”) and shall continue in effect until the third anniversary of the Effective
Date, unless further extended or sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. Commencing on the
first anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each anniversary of such date thereafter (each, an “Anniversary Date”), the term shall
automatically be extended for one additional year unless the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) gives notice to the Executive, at least two months prior to such Anniversary Date, that it
does not wish to extend the term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period
of not less than three years from the date of such Change in Control, unless sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided.

          
3.  Termination Following Change in Control. (a) If a Change in Control shall have
occurred, upon a termination of employment during the term of this Agreement by the Company without
Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits
provided in Section 4 hereof.

          
(b)  Notice of Termination. Following a Change in Control, any purported termination
of employment by the Company or by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10 hereof. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under
the provision so indicated, and shall specify the Date of Termination. The failure by the
Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that
contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the
Company under this Agreement or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights under this Agreement.

          
(c)  Date of Termination. Following a Change in Control, “Date of Termination”
shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall not be less than 30 nor
more than 60 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given, (except for a termination
pursuant to paragraph (vi) of the definition of Good Reason, in which event the date upon which any
succession referred to therein becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination, or

5

 

a
termination by the Company for Cause, in which event the date such notice is received shall be the
Date of Termination).

               4.  Compensation upon Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. Following a
Change in Control, upon any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause
(other than because of death, Disability or Retirement), or any termination of employment by the
Executive for Good Reason, in any case, during the term of this Agreement, in lieu of any severance
benefits Executive would otherwise be eligible to receive under any employment agreement with the
Company or under the Company’s severance plan, if any, as in effect immediately prior to the Change
in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits and payments:

               (a) A cash lump sum payment (payable within ten days of the Date of Termination) of full base
salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time the Notice of Termination
is given or, if higher, at the rate in effect immediately prior to the reduction giving rise
(pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of Good Reason) to such termination, plus all other
amounts to which the Executive is entitled under any compensation or benefit plan of the Company at
the time such payments are due under the terms of such plans;

               (b) A cash lump sum payment (payable within ten days of the Date of Termination) equal to two
and one-half times the sum of the Final Average Salary and the Final Average Bonus, where (A) the
“Final Average Salary” means the average of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as in effect for
each of the three years preceding the Date of Termination and commencing no earlier than February
3, 1999 (or, if shorter, the number of years from February 3, 1999 to the Date of Termination) and
(B) the “Final Average Bonus” means the average of the Bonuses awarded to the Executive pursuant
to the Annual Incentive Program with respect to the three years preceding the Date of Termination
and commencing no earlier than February 3, 1999 (or, if shorter, the number of years from February
3, 1999 to the Date of Termination);

               (c) Subject to the Executive’s continued compliance with Section 7 hereof, life, disability,
accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those that the Executive was
receiving immediately prior to the Change in Control (or thereafter, if higher) until the earlier
to occur of (i) the 30 month anniversary of the Date of Termination or (ii) such time as the Executive is covered by comparable programs of a
subsequent employer; provided, however, that in the event the Company is unable to
provide such benefits, the Company shall make annual payments to the Executive in an amount such
that following the Executive’s payment of applicable taxes thereon, the Executive retains an amount
equal to the cost to the Executive, net of any cost that would otherwise be borne by the Executive,
of obtaining comparable life, disability, accident and health insurance coverage. Benefits
otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be reduced to the extent
comparable benefits are actually received during the 30 month period following termination, and any
such benefits actually received by the Executive shall be reported to the Company.

6

 

               (d) In addition to all other amounts payable under this Section 4, the Executive shall
be entitled to receive all benefits payable under any other plan or agreement relating to
retirement benefits (including plans or agreements of any successor following a Change in Control)
in accordance with the terms of such plan or agreement; provided that, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Executive shall be credited under such plans or agreements (including plans and
agreements of any successor) with two and one-half years’ additional service with the Company after
the Date of Termination for all purposes, including vesting, eligibility and benefit accrual.

               5.  Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be
affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action that the
Company may have against the Executive or others. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate
the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in Section 4 hereof by seeking other employment
or otherwise, nor (except as specifically provided in Section 4 hereof) shall the amount of any
payment or benefit provided for in Section 4 hereof be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive as the result of employment by another employer or by retirement benefits after the Date
of Termination, or otherwise.

               6.  Certain Tax Consequences. Whether or not the Executive becomes entitled to the
payments and benefits described in Section 4 hereof, if any of the payments or benefits received or
to be received by the Executive in connection with a change in ownership or control of the Company
(as defined in section 280G of the Code (a “Statutory Change in Control”)) or the Executive’s
termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan,
arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Statutory Change in
Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) (collectively, the “Severance
Benefits”) will be subject to any excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under section 4999 of the
Code, the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount equal to the Excise Tax (the
Excise Tax Payment”).

               For purposes of determining whether any of the Severance Benefits will be subject to the
Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax:

               (a) all of the Severance Benefits shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning
of Code section 280G(b)(2), and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Code section
280G(b)(1) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless, in the opinion of tax counsel
selected by the Company’s independent auditors and reasonably acceptable to the Executive, such
other payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by
reason of Code section 280G(b)(4)(A), or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part)
represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Code
section 280G(b)(4)(B), in excess of the “Base Amount” as defined in Code section 280G(b)(3)
allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax; and

7

 

               (b) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Code section
280G(d)(3) and (4).

               In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken
into account hereunder at the time of termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive
shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally
determined (the “Reduced Excise Tax”), the difference of the Excise Tax Payment and the Reduced
Excise Tax. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account
hereunder at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment (including by reason of any
payment the existence or amount of which could not be determined at the time of the Excise Tax Payment), the Company shall make an additional Excise Tax payment in respect of
such excess (plus any interest or penalties payable by the Executive with respect to such excess)
at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The Executive and the Company
shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial
proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the
Severance Benefits.

               7.  Confidential Information; Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition. The Executive shall
hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret, proprietary, or
confidential materials, knowledge, data or any other information relating to the Company or any of
its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses (“Confidential Information”), which shall
have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its
affiliated companies and that shall not have been or now or hereafter have become public knowledge
(other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this
Agreement). During the term of this Agreement and (a) for a period of five years thereafter with
respect to Confidential Information that does not include trade secrets, and (b) any time
thereafter with respect to Confidential Information that does include trade secrets, the Executive
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law
or legal process, communicate or divulge any Confidential Information to anyone other than the
Company and those designated by it.

               In addition, the Executive shall not, at any time during the term of this Agreement and
for a period of two and one-half years thereafter, (a) engage or become interested as an owner
(other than as an owner of less than 5% of the stock of a publicly owned company), stockholder,
partner, director, officer, employee (in an executive capacity), consultant or otherwise in any
business that is competitive with any business conducted by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies during the term of this Agreement or as of the Date of Termination, as applicable or (b)
recruit, solicit for employment, hire or engage any employee or consultant of the Company or any
person who was an employee or consultant of the Company within two (2) years prior to the Date of
Termination. The Executive acknowledges that these provisions are necessary for the Company’s
protection and are not unreasonable, since he would be able to obtain employment

8

 

with companies
whose businesses are not competitive with those of the Company and its affiliated companies and
would be able to recruit and hire personnel other than employees of the Company. The duration and
the scope of these restrictions on the Executive’s activities are divisible, so that if any
provision of this paragraph is held or deemed to be invalid, that provision shall be automatically
modified to the extent necessary to make it valid.

               8.  Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that a violation or attempted violation on
the Executive’s part of Section 7 will cause irreparable damage to the Company, and the Executive
therefore agrees that the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction, out of
any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation of such
promises by the Executive or the Executive’s employees, partners or agents. The Executive agrees
that such right to an injunction is cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies the
Company may have under law or equity.

               9.  Successors; Binding Agreement. (a) The Company will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required
to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall
mean the Company as defined above and any successor to its business and/or assets that assumes and
agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. Prior to a Change in Control,
the term “Company” shall also mean any Affiliate of the Company to which the Executive may be
transferred and the Company shall cause such successor employer to be considered the “Company” and
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be amended to so provide.
Following a Change in Control the term “Company” shall not mean any Affiliate of the Company to
which Executive may be transferred unless Executive shall have previously approved of such transfer
in writing, in which case the Company shall cause such successor employer to be considered the
“Company” and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be amended to so
provide. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption and agreement as described in this Section
9(a) prior to the effective date of a succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall
entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as
the Executive would be entitled to under this Agreement if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment
for Good Reason after a Change in Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing,
the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

               (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would still be payable
hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee,
legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

9

 

               10.  Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document given under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be addressed and delivered, in the case of the
Company, to the Secretary of the Company at the principal office of the Company and, in the case of
the Executive, to the Executive’s address as shown in the records of the Company or to such other
address as may be designated in writing by either party.

               11.  Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this
Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation.

               12.  Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the
Executive and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either
party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent
time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this
Agreement.

               13.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

               14.  Validity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared to be invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full
force and effect.

               15.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon
the same instrument.

               16.  Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, the parties agree
that any dispute, claim, or controversy based on common law, equity, or any federal, state, or
local statute, ordinance, or regulation (other than workers’ compensation claims) arising out of or
relating in any way to this Agreement, its termination or any termination of employment, including
whether such dispute is arbitrable, shall be settled by arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate
includes but is not limited to all claims for any form of illegal discrimination, improper or
unfair treatment or dismissal, and all tort claims. The Executive shall still have a right to file
a discrimination charge with a federal or state agency, but the final resolution of any
discrimination claim shall be submitted to arbitration instead of a court or jury. The arbitration
proceeding shall be conducted under the employment dispute resolution arbitration rules of the
American

10

 

Arbitration Association in effect at the time a demand for arbitration under the rules is
made. The decision of the arbitrator(s), including determination of the amount of any damages
suffered, shall be exclusive, final, and binding on all parties, their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns.

     
          17.  Status Prior to Change in Control. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
impair or interfere in any way with the Executive’s right to terminate employment or the right of
the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment with or without Cause prior to a Change in
Control. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a contract of employment
between the Company and the Executive.

                18.  Legal Fees. The Company shall pay the Executive’s reasonable legal fees and
expenses that may be incurred by the Executive in contesting or disputing any termination of
employment following a Change in Control or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit
provided by this Agreement, if the Executive is the prevailing party in connection with any such
dispute.

                19.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes any prior agreements between the
Company and the Executive. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants
or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those
expressly set forth herein.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
