                      WHEREAS, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2002 (the

                      WHEREAS, immediately prior to the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Executive was employed in
the capacity of Vice President for Sales and Marketing of the Seller; and
                     WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to accept employment with Employer
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
                      NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, it is hereby agreed as follows:
                      1.          Employment Term.  Employer
agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be so employed, in the capacity hereinafter described, for a term commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof (the “Initial Term”);
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.  The term of this Agreement will automatically extend past the
Initial Term for succeeding periods of one year each unless either party terminates this Agreement as of the end of the Initial Term, or as of the end of any subsequent one-year period (in either case, the “Termination Date”), by
delivering notice to the other party specifying the applicable Termination Date not earlier than 180 days and not later than 120 days prior to the date so specified.  “Employment Term” as used herein shall mean the term of this
Agreement including any automatic extensions pursuant to the preceding sentence.
                     2.          Position and Duties.  Executive
shall (in accordance with Paragraph 11 hereof) diligently and conscientiously devote his full business time, attention, energy, skill and 

   best efforts to the business of Employer and the discharge of his duties hereunder.  Executive’s duties under this Agreement shall be to serve as Senior Vice President
for Sales and Marketing of the Company, with the responsibilities, rights, authority and duties customarily pertaining to such office and as may be established from time to time by or under the direction of the board of directors of the general
partner of ASLP or any similar governing body of Group or the Company (in any such case, the “Board”) or its designees, and Executive shall report to the president of the Company; provided, however, that if requested
by the Board, Executive shall serve as the Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing of any direct or indirect subsidiary of ASLP with responsibility for sales of marketing of catfish and other seafoods products and, in such event, shall report
to the president or chief executive officer (as applicable) of such subsidiary or any of its parent entities.  Executive shall also be required to act, at the request of the Board, as an officer and/or director and/or manager of such direct or
indirect subsidiaries of ASLP as may be designated by the Board, commensurate with Executive’s office hereunder, all without further compensation, other than as provided in this Agreement.
                      3.           Compensation.
                                   (a)  
        Base Salary.  Employer shall pay to Executive base salary compensation at an annual rate of $220,000.  Upon expiration of the Initial Term and annually thereafter, the Board shall
review Executive’s base salary in light of the performance of Executive and the Company, and may, in its sole discretion, increase or decrease (but not decrease below $220,000) such base salary by an amount it determines to be
appropriate.  Executive’s annual base salary payable hereunder, as it may be increased or decreased from time to time, is referred to herein as “Base Salary.”  Base Salary shall be paid in equal installments in
accordance with Employer’s payroll practices in effect from time to time for executive officers, but in no event less frequently than monthly.
                                    (b)  
        Performance Bonus.  In addition to Base Salary, Executive shall be entitled to receive with respect to each fiscal year during the Employment Term a nondiscretionary annual bonus (the
“Performance Bonus”) if the combined EBITDA (as defined on Schedule I hereto) of the Company and American Seafoods International, LLC, a subsidiary of Group (“International”), in such fiscal year exceeds certain
targets.  The amount and calculation of the Performance Bonus are described with particularity on Schedule I hereto.  In no event will the Performance Bonus (i) be payable if at the time of payment or at any time during the fiscal
year of measurement Group was in default under any credit agreement, indenture or other instrument relating to indebtedness for borrowed money or (ii) exceed 75% of Executive’s Base Salary for such fiscal year.  The Performance
Bonus with respect to any fiscal year, if any, shall be paid within 30 days after the receipt by the Board of unaudited financial information or statements relating to the Company and International for the pertinent fiscal year. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the first 24 months of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Executive’s salary and bonuses (on an annualized basis) be less
than the aggregate amount of the salary and bonuses (excluding any extraordinary bonuses not consistent with 
 2

   past practice of the Seller) paid to Executive by the Seller during the 12 months of Executive’s employment by the Seller immediately preceding the Closing Date.

                                   (c)  
        Sales Bonus.  Executive shall be entitled to receive with respect to each fiscal year during the Employment Term a nondiscretionary bonus (the “Sales Bonus”) in an amount
equal to .511% of the combined Controllable Operating Profit of the Company and International in such year.  The Sales Bonus shall be calculated and paid on a quarterly basis within 10 days after the receipt by the Board of unaudited financial
information or statements relating to the Company and International for the pertinent quarter; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of the Sales Bonus actually paid to Executive on a quarterly basis with
respect to any full fiscal year exceeds an amount equal to .511% of the combined Controllable Operating Profit of the Company and International for such full fiscal year, then the amount of such excess shall be withheld, at Employer’s option,
from (x) the Performance Bonus and/or any discretionary bonus payable to Executive with respect to such fiscal year or any subsequent fiscal years or (y) the Sales Bonus payable to Executive with respect to any subsequent fiscal
quarters or years; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Sales Bonus paid or payable to Executive with respect to any fiscal year exceed 75% of Executive’s Base Salary for such fiscal year. 

 “Controllable Operating Profit” as used in this Agreement shall mean, for any entity with respect to any period, an amount equal to the EBITDA (as defined on Schedule I hereto) of
such entity in such period, adjusted by (i) adding back the general and administrative expenses of such entity in such period, to the extent deducted in computing the EBITDA in such period, and (ii) excluding all income and expenses
(other than general and administrative expenses) of such entity in such period that do not relate directly to trade sales.
                                    (d)  
        Special Units.  Concurrently with the signing of this Agreement, ASLP shall issue to Executive 1,701 special equity units in ASLP, having an aggregate priority allocation equal to $300,000,
for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000 and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement of ASLP, dated as of January 28, 2000 (as the same may be from time to time amended, the “ASLP
Agreement”).  As a condition of the grant of special units pursuant to this Paragraph 3(d), Executive agrees to execute an agreement to be bound by the terms and provisions of (i) the ASLP Agreement and (ii) the Amended
and Restated Securityholders Agreement of ASLP, dated as of October 4, 2002 (as the same may be from time to time amended).
                                    (e)  
        Option Grants.  Concurrently with the signing of this Agreement, ASLP shall grant Executive non-qualified options to purchase limited partnership units in ASLP.  The grant of options
pursuant to this Paragraph 3(e) shall be comprised of (i) 500 Series A Options, 500 Series E Options and 500 Series F Options (in each case, as defined in the American Seafoods, L.P. Year 2000 Unit Option Plan (the “ASLP Option
Plan”), dated as of January 28, 2000, as the same may be from time to time amended) and (ii) 567 
 3

   immediately vested options in the form attached hereto as Schedule II.  All such options shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the option agreements
applicable thereto.
                      4.          Benefits.  Executive shall be
eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs of Employer offered from time to time during the term of Executive’s employment hereunder by Employer to employees or executives of Executive’s rank, to the extent that
Executive qualifies under the eligibility provisions of the applicable plan or plans, in each case consistent with the then-current practice as approved by the Board from time to time.  The foregoing shall not be construed to require Employer
to establish such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established, and no such action or failure thereof shall affect this Agreement.  Executive recognizes that Employer and its subsidiaries and affiliates
have the right, in their sole discretion, to amend, modify or terminate their benefit plans without creating any rights in Executive.
                      5.          Vacation.  Executive shall be
entitled to up to four weeks of paid vacation per calendar year.  A maximum of one week of vacation time may be carried over from one calendar year and into the following calendar year; provided, however, that the vacation time be
exercised prior to the end of the subsequent calendar year.  
                     6.          Business Expenses.  To the
extent that Executive’s reasonable and necessary expenditures for travel, entertainment and similar items made in furtherance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement comply with Employer’s expense reimbursement policy, are wholly
or partially deductible by Employer for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are documented and substantiated by Executive as required by the Internal Revenue Service and the policies of
Employer, Employer shall reimburse the Executive for such expenditures; provided documentation therefor is submitted not later than 45 days after such expense is incurred.
                      7.          Termination by Employer.

                                   (a)  
        Employer shall have the right to terminate the Employment Term under the following circumstances (and also as contemplated by Paragraph 8(b)):

	  
 	                              (i)        
   upon the death of Executive;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	                             (ii)        
  in the event of a disability which prevents or seriously inhibits Executive from performing his duties for 60 consecutive days as determined in good faith by the Board, upon 30 days written notice from Employer to Executive; or

	  
 	  
 
	  
 	                              (iii)        
 for Cause (as defined below).
 

   “Cause” as used in this Agreement shall mean (i) Executive’s commission of a felony or any other crime
involving moral turpitude, fraud, misrepresentation, embezzlement or theft, (ii) Executive’s engaging in any activity that is harmful (including, without limitation, alcoholic or 
  4

   other self-induced affliction), in a material respect, to Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, monetarily or otherwise, as determined by a majority of the Board;
(iii) Executive’s material malfeasance (including without limitation, any intentional act of fraud or theft), misconduct, or gross negligence in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder; (iv) Executive’s
significant violation of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (v) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or of a material Employer policy (including without limitation,
disclosure or misuse of any confidential or competitively sensitive information or trade secrets of Employer or a subsidiary or affiliate); or (vi) Executive’s refusal or failure to carry out directives or instructions of the Board that
are consistent with the scope and nature of Executive’s duties and responsibilities set forth herein, in the case of clause (v) or (vi) above, only if such breach or failure continues for more than 10 days following written notice from Employer
describing such breach or failure.
                                   (b)  
        If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 7(a), or for any other reason (except by Executive pursuant to Paragraph 8(a) or by Employer other than pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)),
Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall forthwith terminate except that Employer shall pay Executive his Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the effective date of termination.  In addition, if Executive

the partial year during which such termination occurred, the amount to be equal to the full amount of the nondiscretionary bonuses, if any, that would be due under Paragraphs 3(b) and (c), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in such fiscal year prior to such termination and the denominator of which is 365.  In any such case, the rights of Executive or his estate or beneficiary with respect to the stock options described in Paragraph 3(e) shall be
determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock option agreements.
                      8.          Termination by Executive.

                                   (a)  
        Executive shall have the right to terminate the Employment Term for Good Reason (as defined below), upon 60 days’ written notice to the Board given within 60 days following the occurrence of
an event constituting Good Reason; provided that Employer shall have 10 days (30 days in the case of an event described in clause (iii) of this Paragraph 8(a)) after the date such notice has been given to the Board in which to cure the
conduct specified in such notice.  For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” shall mean:

	  
 	                             (i)        
  Employer’s failure to pay or provide when due Executive’s Base Salary; or

 	                              (v)
        Employer’s failure to fulfill the other terms of this Agreement.
 

                                    (b)  
        If this Agreement is terminated by Executive pursuant to Paragraph 8(a), or if Employer shall terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement other than pursuant to Paragraph 7(a), Executive
shall be entitled to the following, which he acknowledges to be fair and reasonable, as his sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of all other remedies at law or in equity, for any such termination:

	  
 	                              (i)        
   Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the date of termination;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	                             (ii)        
  a prorated annual bonus in respect of the partial fiscal year during which such termination occurred, the amount to be equal to the sum of (x) the full amount of the Performance Bonus, if any, that would be due under Paragraph 3(b)
and (y) the full amount of the Sales Bonus that would be due under Paragraph 3(c), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year prior to such termination and the denominator of which is 365;
and
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	                              (iii)        
 an amount equal to Executive’s actual Base Salary (not including any bonus paid or payable) for the 12-month period immediately prior to such termination (or the period during which Executive was employed by Employer if less than 12
months), payable in 24 equal installments during the 24-month period immediately following such termination (the “Severance Pay Period”).
 

  In any such case, the
rights of Executive or his estate or beneficiary with respect to the stock options described in Paragraph 3(e) shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock option agreements.  In the event of any such termination,
Executive shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure alternative employment.  During the last six months of the Severance Pay Period, any compensation, income or benefits earned by or paid to (in cash or otherwise) the Executive as an
employee of or consultant to a company other than Employer shall reduce the amount of severance payments payable during such six-month period pursuant to Paragraph 8(b)(iii) pro tanto.
 6

                                     (c)  
        If Executive terminates his employment at any time during the term of this Agreement other than pursuant to Paragraph 8(a), without limiting or prejudicing any other legal or equitable rights or
remedies which Employer may have upon such breach by Executive, Executive will receive his Base Salary earned but not yet paid though the date of termination.  In any such case, the rights of Executive or his estate or beneficiary with respect
to the stock options described in Paragraph 3(e) shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock option agreements.
                      9.          Services Unique.  Executive
recognizes that Executive’s services hereunder are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character giving them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for in damages, and in the
event of a breach of this Agreement by Executive (particularly, but without limitation, with respect to the provisions hereof relating to the exclusivity of Executive’s services and the provisions of Paragraph 11), Employer shall, in addition
to all other remedies available to it, be entitled to equitable relief by way of an injunction and any other legal or equitable remedies.  Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Employer may seek such equitable relief in a federal or
state court in New York, and the Executive hereby submits to jurisdiction in those courts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Paragraph 11, Executive may not be enjoined from other employment or gainful activity.

                    10.          Protection of
Employer’s Interests.  
                                    (a)  
        To the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights worldwide with respect to any intellectual or other property of any nature conceived, developed, produced, created, suggested or acquired by Executive
during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending six months following the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder shall be deemed to be a work made for hire and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer. 
Executive agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Employer at Employer’s request, such further documents as the Employer finds appropriate to evidence the Employer’s rights in such property.  
                                    (b)  
        Executive further acknowledges that in performing his duties hereunder, he will have access to proprietary and confidential information and to trade secrets of Employer and its subsidiaries and
affiliates.  Any confidential and/or proprietary information of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall not be used by Executive or disclosed or made available by Executive to any person except (i) as required in the
course of Executive’s employment or (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of Employer or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee
thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information, it being understood that Executive will promptly notify Employer of such requirement so that Employer may seek to obtain a protective
order.  Upon expiration or earlier termination of the term of Executive’s 
 7

   employment, Executive shall return to Employer all such information that exists in written or other physical form (and all copies thereof) under Executive’s control. 
Executive agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Employer at Employer’s request a confidentiality agreement containing provisions inclusive of the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 10(b).
                      11.          Non-Competition.
 
                                  (a)  
        Exclusivity of Employment.  Executive agrees that his employment hereunder is on an exclusive basis, and that during the Employment Term, he will not engage in any other business
activity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from (i) serving on the boards of directors of other corporations (subject to the approval of the Board which shall not be unreasonably
withheld), (ii) engaging in charitable and public service activities, (iii) engaging in speaking and writing activities or (iv) managing his personal investments, provided that such activities (x) do not interfere
with Executive’s availability or ability to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder and (y) with the exception of matters described in clause (iv) and church activities that do not interfere with Executive’s availability
or performance of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, are disclosed in writing to the Board in a notice that references this provision.
                                   (b)  
        Noncompete.  Executive agrees that during the Employment Term, and the Severance Pay Period (if applicable), and the 12-month period thereafter (except if Executive’s employment is
terminated for Cause or Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, in which case such 12-month period shall be extended to a 24-month period), he shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in, or participate as an investor in, an
officer, employee, director or agent of, or consultant for, any entity engaging in any line of business competitive with that of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any line of business which Employer or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates is contemplating; provided however that, nothing herein shall prevent him from investing as less than a 5% shareholder in the securities of any company listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated
quotation system.  Executive’s participation in an entity in any of the foregoing capacities, other than participation described in the foregoing proviso, being sometimes referred to herein as being a
“Participant.”
                                    (c)  
        Nonsolicitation of Employees.  Executive agrees that during the Employment Term and the Severance Pay Period (if applicable), and the 36-month period thereafter (the “Nonsolicitation
Period”), he will not, directly or indirectly, (i) employ, or be a Participant in any entity that employs, any person employed by Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in any supervisory capacity during the preceding 365
days or (ii) in any way induce or attempt to induce any person to leave the employment of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
 8

                                     (d)  
        Nonsolicitation of Customers.  Executive agrees that during the Nonsolicitation Period, he will not directly or indirectly, solicit or do business with, or be a Participant in any entity
that solicits or does business with, any customer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor shall Executive in any way induce or attempt to induce any customer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to do business with
any person or entity other than Employer or its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict Executive or any entity in which he is a Participant from soliciting or doing business with any
customer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with respect to a business that is not competitive with the business of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the expiration of the
noncompetition period set forth in Paragraph 11(b), Executive may participate as an investor in, an officer, employee, director or agent of or consultant for an entity that does business with one or more customers of Employer in competition with
Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates so long as Executive has no contact with such customer and has no direct or indirect involvement in the solicitation of competitive business from any such customer.
                                    (e)  
        Standstill.  Executive agrees that during the Nonsolicitation Period, Executive shall not, except at the specific written request or with the specific written permission of the
Board:

	  
 	                             (i)        
  engage in or propose, or be a Participant in any entity that engages in or proposes, a Rule 13e-3 Transaction (as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or any other material transaction, between ASLP or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates, on the one hand, and Executive or any entity in which Executive is a Participant, on the other hand;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	                              (ii)        
 acquire any equity securities of ASLP or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or be a participant in any entity that acquires any equity securities of ASLP or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	                              (iii)       
 solicit proxies, or be a Participant in any entity that solicits proxies, or become a participant in any solicitation of proxies, with respect to the election of directors of ASLP or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in opposition to the
nominees recommended by the Board; or
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	                             (iv)       
 directly or indirectly, engage in or participate in any other activity that would be reasonably expected to result in a change of control of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
 

  The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit or restrict the manner in which Executives exercises his voting rights in respect of any securities of ASLP or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
acquired in a manner that is not a violation of the terms of this Paragraph 11.

affiliates, businesses, activities, operations, affairs, reputations or prospects, or any of their respective officers, employees, directors or shareholders, except in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal compulsion.  Nothing
herein shall require Executive to mislead or provide false information, or prevent Executive from providing information reasonably believed to be truthful, to any governmental body, the auditors or attorneys of Employer or any subsidiary or

                       16.          Entire Agreement, Amendments, Waivers,
etc.
                                    (a)  
        No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by Employer and Executive.  No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any
provision or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time.  Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.

                                  (b)  
        This Agreement, together with the documents referred to herein, sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral
and written understandings and agreements.  There are no representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof which are not expressly set forth herein, and no
party hereto has been induced to enter into this Agreement, except by the agreements expressly contained herein.  Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 4.10 of the Asset Purchase
Agreement shall not apply to Executive.
                                    (c)  
        Nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law, and wherever there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any present or future
statute, law, ordinance or regulation, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the provision of this Agreement affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within legal requirements.
                                    (d)  
        This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives, by ASLP and its successors and assigns, by Group and its
successors and assigns, and by the Company and its successors and assigns.  This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to Executive and shall not be assignable.  Each of ASLP, Group and the Company may assign its rights under
this Agreement to any successor by merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of its and its subsidiaries’ assets, or otherwise, provided that such successor assumes all of the liabilities, obligations and duties of
ASLP, Group or the Company, as the case may be, under this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law.
                                   (e)  
        If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or application of this Agreement that can be given effect without the
invalid provisions or application, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.
                      17.          Governing Law.  This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
  12

                       18.          Right to Equitable Relief. 
Executive recognizes that Employer will have no adequate remedy at law for his breach of any provision of Paragraph 10, 11 or 12 and in the event of any such breach or threatened breach he agrees that Employer shall be entitled to obtain equitable
relief in addition to other remedies available at law and/or hereunder.
                      19.          Taxes.  All payments required
to be made to Executive hereunder, whether during the term of his employment hereunder or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding laws.
                     20.          Headings, etc.  The headings
set forth herein are included solely for the purpose of identification and shall not be used for the purpose of construing the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise provided, references herein to Paragraphs refer to
Paragraphs of this Agreement.
                      21.          Arbitration.  Any dispute or
controversy between Employer and Executive, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach of this Agreement, or otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, administered by the American
Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Rules then in effect and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant
motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, to permit reasonable discovery in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including the
issuance of an injunction.  However, either party may, without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having jurisdiction over such dispute or controversy and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable
relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.  Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a
party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of Employer and Executive.  Arbitration costs shall be divided equally between Executive and Employer;
provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the authority to require either party to pay a portion or all of arbitrator fees to the same extent as a court could award costs in a civil proceeding.  The decision of the
arbitrator shall be a reasoned opinion, including findings of fact and conclusions of law.  The arbitrator shall have jurisdiction to correct errors in his or her decision on motion of either party or sua sponte.
                     22.          Survival. 
Executive’s obligations under the provisions of Paragraphs 10, 11 and 12, as well as the provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7(b), 8(b) and 15 through and including 19 and Paragraphs 22 and 23, shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
  13

                       23.          Construction.  Each party has
cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement.  Therefore, in any construction to be made of this Agreement, the same shall not be construed against any party on the basis that the party was the drafter.

  PERFORMANCE BONUS CALCULATION
                      Subject to the terms and conditions of Paragraph 3(b) (including the requirement that there shall have
occurred no default under credit agreements applicable to Employer or its affiliates), the nondiscretionary Performance Bonus described in Paragraph 3(b) for any fiscal year shall be equal to: (i) if the combined EBITDA of the Company and
International for such fiscal year is less than 80% of Target EBITDA for such fiscal year, zero dollars; (ii) if the combined EBITDA of the Company and International for such fiscal year exceeds 120% of Target EBITDA for such fiscal year, 75%
of Executive’s Base Salary for such fiscal year; and (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) applies, the product of 75% of Executive’s Base Salary during such fiscal year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by
which the combined EBITDA of the Company and International for such fiscal year exceeds 80% of Target EBITDA for such fiscal year, and the denominator of which is 40% of Target EBITDA for such fiscal year.  Such bonus shall be determined by the
Board in good faith on the basis of internal financial information (prepared in the ordinary course of business) for the Company and International for the pertinent fiscal year.
                      For these purposes:
                      “EBITDA” means, for any period, the sum of the amounts for such period of: (i) net
income (or loss) (excluding (I) interest income, (II) noncash income items (other than ordinary accruals) and (III) extraordinary items), plus (ii) to the extent deducted in determining consolidated net income, (x)
interest expense, (y) provisions for taxes based on net income and (z) depreciation and amortization expense, each as determined for each of the Company and International in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, except that no effect shall be given to noncash gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts.  EBITDA for any period shall be determined by the Board acting in good faith following receipt of internal financial
information (prepared in the ordinary course of business) for the relevant period and shall reflect as expenses (determined on an iterative basis if necessary) any bonuses payable in respect of such year.
                     “Target EBITDA” means, for any fiscal year, the amount set forth in the table below opposite
such fiscal year, subject to adjustment on a pro-forma basis, if and to the extent determined appropriate by the Board, to reflect any acquisitions effected by the Company or International or any of their respective subsidiaries after the date
hereof.

                      WHEREAS, a
portion of the purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement has been allocated to and paid in consideration for Executive’s covenants under Paragraph 11 hereunder;
                     WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to enter into this Agreement to ensure the successful transition to

                      WHEREAS, each of the Company and Trucking desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to accept
employment with each of the Company and Trucking upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
                      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, it is hereby agreed as follows:
                      1.          Employment Term.  Each of
Employer and Trucking agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be so employed, in the capacity of president of each of Employer and Trucking (in such capacity, collectively, “Employer”), for a term commencing on the date
hereof and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof (the “Employment Term”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Employment Term may be earlier
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.
  

                      2.          Position and Duties.
 
                                 (a)   
       During the Employment Term, Executive shall (in accordance with Paragraph 11(c) hereof) diligently and conscientiously devote his full business time, attention, energy, skill and best efforts to the business
of Employer and the discharge of his duties hereunder, except as permitted in Paragraph 11(c).  Executive’s duties under this Agreement during the Employment Term shall be to serve as president of each of the Company and Trucking, with the
responsibilities, rights, authority and duties customarily pertaining to such office and as may be established from time to time by or under the direction of the board of directors of ASC Management, Inc., the general partner of American Seafoods,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership that is the indirect parent of the Company, Trucking, and Parent (the “Board”), or such other governing body as the Board may from time to time designate, and Executive shall report to the
Board.  Executive shall also act as an officer and/or director and/or manager of such subsidiaries of the Company or Trucking as may be designated by the Board, commensurate with Executive’s office, all without further compensation, other
than as provided in this Agreement.  
                                   (b)   
       In addition to the duties and responsibilities customarily pertaining to the office of president, Executive’s duties during the Employment Term shall include: (i) assisting the Board with the
transfer to the Company and Trucking of the contractual and business relationships of the Seller with each of its customers, suppliers and employees; (ii) providing advice and guidance to the Board in connection with the operation of the
business of the Company and Trucking; (iii) assisting the Board in all other transitional matters, all without further compensation, other than as provided in this Agreement.
                     3.          Compensation.
                                   (a)   
       Purchase Price.  Of the aggregate purchase price paid pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, $300,000 was allocated to and paid in consideration for Executive’s covenant not to compete and
the other covenants set forth in Paragraph 12 hereof.  In addition, a substantial portion of such purchase price was allocated to the goodwill of the business.
                                   (b)   
       Base Salary.  During the Employment Term, Employer shall pay to Executive base salary compensation at an annual rate of $350,000 (the “Base Salary”).  The parties agree that
of the Base Salary, $100,000 is paid in consideration for Executive’s covenant not to compete and the other covenants set forth in Paragraph 12 hereof.  Base Salary shall be paid in equal installments in accordance with Employer’s
payroll practices in effect from time to time for executive officers, but in no event less frequently than monthly.  In January 2004 and annually thereafter, the Board may, but shall not be required to, review Base Salary in light of the
performance of Executive, the Company and Trucking, and may, in its sole discretion, increase Base Salary by an amount it determines to be appropriate.  
 2
  

                                    (c)   
       Bonus.  In addition to Base Salary, Executive may receive during the Employment Term an annual bonus of an amount to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, taking into consideration
individual and corporate performance.
                      4.          Benefits.  
                                   (a)   
       During the Employment Term, Employer will provide Executive with major medical and hospitalization health insurance benefits in accordance with the plans of Employer offered from time to time during the
Employment Term to employees or executives of Executive’s rank and consistent with Employer’s then-current practice as approved by the Board from time to time.  The foregoing shall not be construed to require Employer to establish
such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established, and no such action or failure thereof shall affect this Agreement.  Executive recognizes that Employer and its affiliates have the right, in their sole
discretion, to amend, modify or terminate their health care plans without creating any rights in Executive.
                                  (b)   
       During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of Parent’s pension, retirement, deferred compensation and savings plans for highly-compensated employees, and any similar
successor plans, in each case consistent with Parent’s then current practice as approved by the Board from time to time.  The foregoing shall not be construed to require Parent to establish such plans or to prevent the modification or
termination of such plans once established, and no such action or failure thereof shall affect this Agreement.  Executive recognizes that Parent and its affiliates have the right, in their sole discretion, to amend, modify or terminate their
benefit plans without creating any rights in Executive.  For purposes of Parent’s deferred compensation plan for highly-compensated employees, or any similar successor plan, Executive’s salary shall be deemed to include the $100,000
paid in consideration for Executive’s covenant not to compete and the other covenants set forth in Paragraph 12 hereof as well as the remaining $250,000 portion of the Base Salary, any increases in the Base Salary, and any bonuses paid to
Executive.
                      5.          Vacation.  During the Employment
Term, Executive shall be entitled to up to four weeks of paid vacation per calendar year.  A maximum of one week of vacation time may be carried over from one calendar year and into the following calendar year; provided, however,
that the vacation time be exercised prior to the end of the subsequent calendar year.  
                     6.          Business Expenses.  To the
extent that Executive’s reasonable and necessary expenditures for travel, entertainment and similar items made in furtherance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement during the Employment Term comply with Employer’s expense
reimbursement policy, are wholly or partially deductible by Employer for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are documented and substantiated by Executive as required by the Internal Revenue
Service and the policies of Employer, Employer shall reimburse the Executive for such expenditures;
  3
  

   provided documentation therefor is submitted not later than 90 days after such expense is incurred.
                      7.          Termination by Employer.

                                  (a)   
       Employer shall have the right to terminate the Employment Term under the following circumstances:

	  
 	             (i)          at any time following the end of the 12-month period
commencing on the date hereof, for any reason whatsoever, upon 60 days’ written notice from Employer to Executive;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	            (ii)         upon the death of Executive;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	             (iii)         in the event of a disability which prevents or
seriously inhibits Executive from performing his duties for 60 consecutive days as determined in good faith by the Board, upon 30 days written notice from Employer to Executive; or
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	             (iv)         for Cause (as defined below).
 

   “Cause” as used in this Agreement shall mean (i) Executive’s commission of a felony or any other crime involving moral turpitude, fraud, misrepresentation,
embezzlement or theft, (ii) Executive’s engaging in any activity that is harmful (including, without limitation, alcoholic or other self-induced affliction), in a material respect, to the Company, Trucking, or any of their respective
subsidiaries or affiliates, monetarily or otherwise, as determined by a majority of the Board; (iii) Executive’s material malfeasance (including without limitation, any intentional act of fraud or theft), misconduct, or gross negligence
in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder; (iv) Executive’s significant violation of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company, Trucking or any of their respective subsidiaries; (v)
Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or of a material Employer policy (including without limitation, disclosure or misuse of any confidential or competitively sensitive information or trade secrets of the Company, Trucking, or any of
their respective subsidiaries or affiliates); or (vi) Executive’s refusal or failure to carry out directives or instructions of the Board that are consistent with the scope and nature of Executive’s duties and responsibilities set
forth herein, in the case of clause (v) or (vi) above, only if such breach or failure continues for more than 10 days following written notice from Employer describing such breach or failure.
                                  (b)   
       If the Employment Term is terminated by Employer pursuant to Paragraph 7(a), Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall forthwith terminate except that Employer shall pay
Executive his Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the effective date of termination.  If the Employment Term is terminated by Employer
  4
  

   during the 12-month period commencing on the date hereof and other than pursuant to Paragraph 7(a), Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall
forthwith terminate except that Employer shall pay Executive his Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the later of the effective date of termination and the 12-month anniversary of the date hereof.  Except as provided in this
subparagraph, under no circumstances shall Executive be entitled to any compensation whatsoever upon any termination by Employer of the Employment Term.  A termination of the Employment Term shall not terminate or otherwise affect the duration
of or the responsibilities and obligations of the Executive during the Covenant Term.
                      8.          Termination by Executive.

                                  (a)   
       Executive shall have the right to terminate the Employment Term under the following circumstances:

	  
 	            (i)          at any time following the end of the 24-month
period commencing on the date hereof, for any reason whatsoever, upon 60 days’ written notice from Executive to the Board; and
 
	  
 	  
 
	   
 	             (ii)          at any time during the 24-month period commencing on
the date hereof, for Good Reason (as defined below), upon 60 days’ written notice from Executive to the Board given within 60 days following the occurrence of an event constituting Good Reason; provided that Employer shall have 10 days
after the date such notice has been given to the Board in which to cure the conduct specified in such notice.
 

  “Good Reason” as used in this Agreement shall
mean: (i) the Company’s failure to pay or provide when due Executive’s Base Salary; (ii) the failure to continue Executive in his position as provided in Paragraph 1 or removal of him from such position, in each case during
the Employment Term; (iii) a material diminution of Executive’s responsibilities, duties or status, which diminution is not rescinded within 30 days after the date of receipt by the Board from Executive of a written notice referring to
this provision and describing such diminution; or (iv) the relocation of Executive’s principle place of employment outside Hale County, Alabama; or (v) defamatory or disparaging public statements by Employer or any affiliate of
Employer concerning Executive or his job performance.
                                  (b)   
       If the Employment Term is terminated by Executive either pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)(i) or, during the 12-month period following the first anniversary of the date hereof, pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)(ii),
Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall forthwith terminate except that Employer shall pay Executive his Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the effective date of termination.  If the Employment Term is
terminated by the Executive during the 12-month period commencing on the date hereof pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)(ii), Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall forthwith terminate except that Employer shall pay Executive
his Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the later of the effective date of such termination and the 12-month anniversary of the date hereof.  If the Employment Term is terminated by Executive other than pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)(i) or
Paragraph 8(a)(ii), the Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall
  5
  

   forthwith terminate except that Employer shall pay Executive his Base Salary earned but not yet paid through the effective date of termination, it being understood that nothing
herein shall limit or prejudice any other legal or equitable rights or remedies which Employer may have upon such termination by Executive.  Except as provided in this subparagraph, under no circumstances shall Executive be entitled to any
compensation whatsoever upon any termination by the Executive of the Employment Term or by reason of any acts or occurrences constituting or purporting to constitute Good Reason.  A termination of the Employment Term hereunder shall not
terminate or otherwise affect the duration of or the responsibilities and obligations of Executive under Paragraph 12 during the Covenant Term.
                     9.          Part-Time Employment
Period.
                                   (a)   
       In the event the Employment Term is terminated by (i) Employer pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)(i) or without Cause during the 12-month period commencing on the date hereof or (ii) by Executive
pursuant to Paragraph 8(a), then, during the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof (such period, the “Part-Time Employment Period”), Employer agrees to employ
Executive, and Executive agrees to be so employed, on a part-time basis, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Part-Time Employment Period may be
earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.
                                   (b)   
       During the Part-Time Employment Period, Executive shall act as a general advisor and consultant to Employer on all matters within the scope of Executive’s experience and expertise, and shall not be
required to devote to such duties more than 100 hours in each calendar year.  During the Part-Time Employment Period, Executive shall not, solely by virtue of the services provided hereunder during such period, be considered to be an officer of
Employer, and shall not have the power or authority to contract in the name of or bind Employer, except as may be expressly stated in a written delegation of such authority from the Board.
                                  (c)   
       During the Part-Time Employment Period, Employer shall pay to Executive salary compensation at a monthly rate of $1,000 (“Part-Time Salary”).  Part-Time Salary shall be paid in equal
installments in accordance with Employer’s payroll practices in effect from time to time for executive officers, but in no event less frequently than monthly.
                                   (d)   
       During the Part-Time Employment Period, Employer will provide Executive, at Employer’s sole cost and expense, with major medical and
  6
  

   hospitalization health insurance benefits in accordance with the plans of Employer offered from time to time during the Part-Time Employment Period to the executives of Employer
and consistent with Employer’s then-current practice as approved by the Board from time to time; provided, however, that during the Part-Time Employment Period, Employer shall not be required to provide such medical and
hospitalization health insurance benefits to any dependants of Executive or any members of Executive’s family who would otherwise be entitled to coverage under such plans, unless Executive agrees to pay the additional cost of such
coverage.  The foregoing shall not be construed to require Employer to establish such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established, and no such action or failure thereof shall affect this Agreement. 
Executive recognizes that Employer and its affiliates have the right, in their sole discretion, to amend, modify or terminate their health care plans without creating any rights in Executive; provided, however, that Employer may not
modify or terminate its health benefit plans if the effect thereof would be to provide Executive with less favorable medical and hospitalization health insurance single-person benefits than those provided to Employer’s officers and other
executives.
                                  (e)   
       Employer shall have the right to terminate the part-time employment of Executive under the following circumstances: (i) upon the death of Executive; (ii) in the event of a disability which
prevents or seriously inhibits Executive from performing his duties described in Paragraph 9(b) for 180 consecutive days as determined in good faith by the Board, upon 30 days written notice from Employer to Executive; or (iii) for
Cause.  If Employer terminates the part-time employment of Executive pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Paragraph 9(e), Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall forthwith terminate except that Employer
shall pay Executive his Part-Time Salary earned but not yet paid through the effective date of termination.  If Employer terminates the part-time employment of Executive other than pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Paragraph 9(e),
Executive’s rights and Employer’s obligations hereunder shall forthwith terminate except that Employer shall pay Executive his Part-Time Salary, and continue to provide the health insurance benefits described in Paragraph 9(d), through the
expiration of the Part-Time Employment Period.  A termination of the part-time employment of Executive shall not terminate or otherwise affect the duration of, or the responsibilities and obligations of Executive during, the Covenant
Term.
                      10.          Services Unique.  Executive
recognizes that Executive’s services hereunder are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character giving them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for in damages, and in the
event of a breach of this Agreement by Executive (particularly, but without limitation, with respect to the provisions hereof relating to the exclusivity of Executive’s services and the provisions of Paragraph 12), Employer shall, in addition
to all other remedies available to it, be entitled to equitable relief by way of an injunction and any other legal or equitable remedies.  Anything to the contrary herein not withstanding, Employer may seek such equitable relief in a federal or
state court in New York, and the Executive hereby submits to jurisdiction in those courts.

                       11.          Protection of Employer’s
Interests.  
                                     (a) 
         To the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights worldwide with respect to any intellectual property relating to the business of the Company, Trucking, or their respective direct or indirect
subsidiaries or affiliates, conceived, developed, produced, created, suggested or acquired by Executive during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending six months following the termination of the Employment Term shall be deemed to be a
work made for hire and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer.  Executive agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Employer at Employer’s request, such further documents as the Employer finds appropriate to evidence the
Employer’s rights in such property.  
                                     (b) 
         Executive acknowledges that in performing his duties hereunder, he will have access to proprietary and confidential information and to trade secrets of the Company, Trucking, and their respective
subsidiaries and affiliates.  Any confidential and/or proprietary information of the Company, Trucking, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates shall not be used by Executive or disclosed or made available by Executive to any person
except (i) as required in the course of Executive’s employment or (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or Trucking, or by any
administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information, it being understood that Executive will promptly notify Employer of such requirement
so that Employer may seek to obtain a protective order.  Upon any termination of the Employment Term or the Part-Time Employment Period, as applicable, Executive shall return to Employer all such information that exists in written or other
physical form (and all copies thereof) under Executive’s control.  Executive agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Employer at Employer’s request a confidentiality agreement containing provisions inclusive of the foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph 11(b).
                                    (c) 
         Executive agrees that his employment hereunder is on an exclusive basis, and that during the Employment Term, he will not engage in any other business activity.  The preceding sentence shall
not preclude Executive from (i) engaging in the business of catfish farming, in the manufacture or sale of catfish feed or supplies, or in the harvesting of catfish outside of the geographic area where the Company, Trucking, or any of their
respective subsidiaries offers such service after the date hereof, (ii) serving on the boards of directors of other corporations (subject to the approval of the Board which shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) engaging in
charitable and public service activities, (iv) engaging in speaking and writing activities or (v) managing his personal investments, provided that such activities (x) do not interfere with Executive’s availability or
ability to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder and (y) in the case of activities specified in clauses (ii) through (v) of this Paragraph 11(c), are disclosed in writing to the Board in a notice that references this
provision.
  8
  

                       12.          Non-Competition and Other
Covenants.
                                     (a)

percent (5%) of a class of securities publicly traded and registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business entity engaging in the business of catfish harvesting
(in the geographic area where the Company, Trucking or any of their respective subsidiaries offers such service after the date hereof), catfish processing, or catfish distributions anywhere in the United States or Canada (Executive’s
participation in an entity in any of the foregoing capacities, other than participation by owning more than five percent (5%) of a class of securities publicly traded and registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, being
sometimes referred to herein as being a “Participant”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Executive or his affiliates, successors or assigns from (i) engaging in the business of catfish
harvesting outside of the geographic area where the Company, Trucking, or any of their respective subsidiaries offers such service after the date hereof, (ii) engaging in the business of catfish farming or in the manufacture or sale of
catfish feed or supplies, (iii) causing his catfish farm to sell any catfish raised thereon to a person other than the Company, although in competition with the Company or (iv) harvesting catfish raised on Executive’s own catfish
farm.  Nothing in this Paragraph 12(a) shall affect the provisions of Section 4.16 of the Asset Purchase Agreement or the provisions of the agreement, entered into by the Company and Executive, setting forth the terms of commercial arrangements
governing the purchase and sale of catfish (the “Catfish Purchase Agreement”).
                                    (b) 
         Nonsolicitation of Employees.  Executive agrees that during the Covenant Term, he will not directly or indirectly, (i) employ, or be a Participant in any entity that employs,

entity that solicits or does business with, any customer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) in any way induce or attempt to induce any customer of Employer to do business with any person or entity other than
Employer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict Executive from purchasing products or services from any Person solely because such Person is a customer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and
provided further that following the expiration of the Employment Term, the foregoing shall not restrict Executive or any entity in which he is a Participant from soliciting
 9
  

   or doing business with any customer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with respect to a business that is not in Competition (as defined in the Asset Purchase
Agreement) with the business of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
                                     (d) 
         Standstill.  Executive agrees that during the Covenant Term, he will not, except at the specific written request or with the permission of the Board:

	  
 	              (i)          engage in or propose, or be a Participant in
any entity that engages in or proposes, a Rule 13e-3 Transaction (as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or any other material transaction, between the Company, Trucking, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries or
affiliates, on the one hand, and Executive or any entity in which Executive is a Participant, on the other hand;

entity that solicits proxies, or become a participant in any solicitation of proxies, with respect to the election of directors of the Company, Trucking, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates in opposition to the nominees
recommended by the Board of any such entity; or
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	              (iv)        directly or indirectly, engage in or participate in any
other activity that would be reasonably expected to result in a change of control of the Company, Trucking, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
 

  The
foregoing provisions of this Paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit or restrict the manner in which Executives exercises his voting rights in respect of any securities of the Company, Trucking, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries or
affiliates acquired in a manner that is not a violation of the terms of this Paragraph 12.
                      13.          Nondisparagement.  Executive
will not at any time during or after the expiration of the Covenant Term directly (or through any other person or entity) make any public or private statements (whether oral or in writing) which are derogatory or damaging to the Company, Trucking,
Parent, their respective subsidiaries or affiliates (Trucking, Parent, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates being referred to hereinafter as “Company Affiliates”), businesses, activities, operations, affairs, reputations

Person preparing tax returns for the Company or any Company Affiliates.  Neither the Company nor any Company Affiliates will at any time during or after the expiration of the Covenant Term directly (or through any other person or entity) make

                                     (a)

Etc.
  12
  

                                    (a)   
       No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by Employer and Executive.  No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any
provision or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time.  Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.
 
                                 (b)   
       This Agreement, together with the documents referred to herein, sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral and
written understandings and agreements.  There are no representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof which are not expressly set forth herein, in the Asset
Purchase Agreement or the Catfish Purchase Agreement, and no party hereto has been induced to enter into this Agreement, except by the agreements expressly contained herein.
                                  (c)   
       Nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law, and wherever there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any present or future
statute, law, ordinance or regulation, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the provision of this Agreement affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within legal requirements.
                                   (d)   
       This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives, by the Company, Trucking, and their respective successors and
assigns, and by Parent and its successors and assigns.  This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to Executive and shall not be assignable.  Each of the Company, Trucking, and Parent may assign its rights under this Agreement to
any successor by merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of its and its subsidiaries’ assets, or otherwise, provided that such successor assumes all of the liabilities, obligations and duties of Employer under this
Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law.
                                   (e)   
       If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or application of this Agreement that can be given effect without the

                       20.          Taxes.  All payments required
to be made to Executive hereunder, whether during the term of his employment hereunder or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding laws.

                     22.          Arbitration.  Any dispute or
controversy between Employer and Executive, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach of this Agreement, or otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator in New York, New York, administered by the American
Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Rules then in effect and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant
motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, to permit reasonable discovery in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including the
issuance of an injunction.  However, either party may, without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having jurisdiction over such dispute or controversy and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable
relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.  Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a
party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company, Trucking, and Executive.  Arbitration costs shall be divided equally between Executive and
Employer; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the authority to require either party to pay a portion or all of arbitrator fees to the same extent as a court could award costs in a civil proceeding.  The decision of
the arbitrator shall be a reasoned opinion, including findings of fact and conclusions of law.  The arbitrator shall have jurisdiction to correct errors in his or her decision on motion of either party or sua sponte.
                     23.          Survival. 
Executive’s obligations under the provisions of Paragraphs 11, 12 and 13, as well as the provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7(b), 8(b) and 16 through and including 20 and Paragraphs 23 and 24, shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
                      24.          Construction.  Each party has
cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement.  Therefore, in any construction to be made of this Agreement, the same shall not be construed against any party on the basis that the party was the drafter.
