Except as set forth below, you will not be eligible for the retention bonuses as set forth above if your employment terminates prior to such applicable anniversary. In the event of your Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (as defined below), the termination of your employment by the Company other than for Justifiable Cause, or in the event of your death or “permanent disability” as defined in the Company’s long-term disability policy (i) during the first twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the First Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the Acquisition Date through such termination, and (ii) during the second twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the Second Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date through such termination.

If the annual bonus payment for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 has not been paid to you or otherwise determined by the Company as of the date the prorated payment is due, the prorated payment shall be calculated using your target bonus amount for 2008. Payments under this Section 8 shall be net of any applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of this Section 8, “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” shall have the same meaning as given to such term under the Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Acquisition Date, but with respect to the First Year Retention Bonus only, determined without regard to clause (ii) thereof.”

Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus.
