2. Employer desires to continue to employ Executive in accordance with the terms and

efforts, and his full time, attention and energies to the performance of his duties hereunder and

prior written consent of Employer, Executive will not undertake or engage in any other employment,
occupation or business enterprise other than a business enterprise in which Executive does not

Directors of Southern, by majority vote of its members, has determined that grounds exist to

constitute Gross Cause as defined above. Executive acknowledges that the term of this Agreement is
not renewable and that his employment hereunder will not continue beyond December 31, 2011 (subject
to earlier termination as provided above).
4. Compensation and Benefits.
4.1 As used in this Article 4, (a) “Borrower”, “Term Loan A” and “Term
Loan B” have the meaning given such terms in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as

2007 |
$ | 486,720.00 | ||
2008 |
$ | 506,189.00 | ||
2009 |
$ | 526,436.00 | ||

$ | 569,394.00; |
(b) provided Executive is employed by Employer for the entire fiscal year (except as otherwise
provided in Sections 4.7 and 4.8), a bonus (the “Bonus”) equal to one-half of one percent
(.5%) of the Net Income for such fiscal year. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, the Bonus
will be paid within the time bonus payments are made to Employer’s other senior management, if
practicable, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal
year, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006; and
(c) an additional bonus in an amount equal to any interest owed by Executive to Employer on
account of Term Loan A and the South Carolina Loan, payable at the time such interest is payable by
Executive to Employer; provided, however, that Employer will not be required to pay such bonus with
respect to any interest that becomes due after the principal of Term Loan A or the South Carolina
Loan, as the case may be, has become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Executive agrees to use such bonus to repay the interest on Term Loan A or the South Carolina Loan,
as the case may be, then due.
(d) As used in this Agreement, “Net Income” means Employer’s consolidated annual net pre-tax
operating income. The Net Income shall be determined by the certified public accountants authorized

be binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, in computing Net Income, all non-operating profits and losses (including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, LIFO inventory adjustments and gains or losses on the
sale or other disposition of capital assets or other Extraordinary Gains or Losses) shall be
disregarded.
4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, commencing with the
first Bonus payable to Executive after Term Loan B has been paid in full, $100,000 of each Bonus
will be deferred until Term Loan A becomes due and payable under the Loan Agreement. When Term Loan
A becomes so due and payable, the deferred Bonus (net of any applicable withholding) will be paid
to Executive, and Borrowers will be obligated to repay Term Loan A, and all accrued interest
thereon, in full, regardless of whether the net amount of the deferred Bonus is sufficient to repay
such amount.
INITIAL

4.3.1 Employer and Executive acknowledge that $100,000 of the annual Bonuses payable to
Executive with respect to each of fiscal year 2000 and fiscal year 2001 have been deferred. When
the South Carolina Loan becomes due and payable, such deferred Bonus (net of any applicable
withholding) will be paid to Executive, and Borrower will be obligated to repay the South Carolina
Loan, and all accrued interest thereon, in full, regardless of whether the net amount of the
deferred Bonus is sufficient to repay such amount.
4.3.2 Exhibit “C” hereto sets forth a summary of the outstanding balance of, and the payment
terms of, Term Loan A, Term Loan B and the South Carolina Loan.
4.4 During the term of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to such
fringe benefits as shall be in effect from time to time with respect generally to Employer’s
full-time senior management.
4.5 During each calendar year of his employment, Executive will be entitled to three (3) weeks
vacation (including personal days), or such longer period as Employer establishes, from time to
time, as its standard vacation period for its senior management, provided that such vacation does
not, in Southern’s reasonable discretion, unreasonably interfere with the operations of Southern or
Solvay.
4.6 During the term of Executive’s employment hereunder, Employer will provide, for business
purposes, a country club membership for Executive of a category and in a club mutually approved by
Southern and Executive and located in the area of Employer, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld by Southern; provided, however, that, in connection therewith, Employer shall not
be required to pay in any calendar year fees or other expenses in excess of the amount paid by
Employer during 2005. Executive acknowledges and understands that, under current law, if and to the
extent the club is used by Executive for non-business purposes, a proportionate amount of the
annual sum paid by Employer pursuant to this Section 4.6 will be includable by Executive in his
gross income for the year in which such sum was paid. Executive represents and warrants to
Employer that he uses the country club solely for business purposes, and agrees to indemnify
Employer for any tax liability incurred by Employer on account of providing such membership to
Executive.
4.7 (a) If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated due to Executive’s death or
permanent disability, or by Employer without Gross Cause, a pro-rated portion of the Bonus shall be
paid by Employer to Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death prior to such payment, to such
beneficiary or beneficiaries as Executive shall have designated in a written notice filed with
Employer’s Secretary [the last such notice to govern] or, in the event no such designation shall
have been so filed, to Executive’s estate) at the time the Bonus would have been paid had
Executive’s employment continued for the full fiscal year in which it was terminated. The amount so
payable shall be determined by multiplying (i) the amount that would have been the Bonus had
Executive’s employment continued for the balance of the fiscal year in which it was terminated,
calculated as set forth above, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number
of days that elapsed in the calendar year prior to the date Executive’s employment terminated, and
the denominator of which shall be 365.
(b) If the parties disagree as to whether Executive shall have suffered a permanent
disability, the dispute shall be resolved by a panel of three (3) medical doctors, one selected by
Employer, the second by Executive and the third by the two (2) medical doctors so selected. Such
arbitration shall be held in a location selected by Employer in Onondaga County or Suffolk County,
New York (as determined by where Executive is based at the time of the dispute), and conducted in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in
effect. The determination of the medical doctors shall be binding and conclusive upon Employer and
Executive, and the costs and expenses of such arbitration shall be borne equally by Executive and
Employer.

4.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Southern may
terminate Executive’s employment hereunder with or without Gross Cause. If Executive’s employment
hereunder is terminated by Employer other than for Gross Cause, or if, upon a Sale, the Successor
does not offer employment to Executive for a term of at least one year in a position, and with
compensation, benefits and duties substantially comparable to those in effect immediately prior to
the Sale, Employer shall pay to Executive, and Executive shall accept, as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary, at the rate in
effect on the date of termination, payable at the times Executive’s salary would have been paid had
his employment continued for such twelve (12) month period (the “Severance Period”). In
addition, if Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer arbitrarily (i.e. other than for
Cause or Gross Cause), (i) Employer shall pay to Executive the Bonus Executive would have been
entitled to with respect to the Severance Period, payable at the times such Bonus would have been
paid had his employment continued for the Severance Period, and (ii) the ESU Agreement will remain
in place as if Executive was employed throughout the entire Severance Period, and payment
thereunder will be made as if Executive’s employment was terminated by Employer without Gross Cause
on the last day of the Severance Period. Such severance payment shall be in addition to any sums
due Executive in accordance with Subsection 4.2.2 of the ESU Agreement. Payments to Executive
pursuant to this Section 4.8 will be subject to the law of the State of New York (whether statutory
or otherwise) with respect to mitigation of damages by an employee upon the breach of his
employment agreement by his employer, as the same may exist as of the date hereof. Capitalized
terms used in this Section 4.8 and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in
Exhibit “A” hereto.
5. Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Executive for all out-of-pocket business
expenses (including, without limitation, gasoline, tolls and parking), incurred by him in the
performance of his duties hereunder (and deemed, by Employer, in its sole discretion, to be
reasonable arid necessary); provided that each such expenditure: (i) is of a nature qualifying it
as a proper deduction on Employer’s Federal and State income tax returns and (ii) is supported by
such records and other documentary evidence as Employer shall require.
6. Automobile. During the term of Executive’s employment hereunder, Employer will give
Executive an automobile allowance of $1,000.00 per month, to compensate Executive for the business
use of his own car, such allowance to be in addition to reimbursement of gasoline, toll and parking
expenses as provided in Article 5, above. Executive will obtain and maintain during the term
hereof, automobile liability insurance for injury to person and property in the following amounts:
(a) $100,000 per person; and (b) $300,000 per incident, or such higher amounts as may be required
by law. Executive will include each of Southern and Solvay as an insured under such policy and will
deliver to Southern a certificate of such policy upon request.
7. Restrictive Covenant, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality. Concurrently herewith,
Executive is executing an agreement containing certain provisions with respect to competition by
Executive, his solicitation of Employer’s and Solvay’s customers and employees, arid his obligation
not to disclose confidential matters (the “Letter Agreement”). As a condition to the
receipt of payments hereunder, Executive agrees that, in addition to and without limiting the
continuing effectiveness of the Letter Agreement so long as he shall be bound thereby, the
provisions of the Letter Agreement shall be deemed incorporated in this Agreement by reference as
though fully set forth herein and he shall comply therewith throughout the term of his employment
hereunder and after termination thereof so long as the Letter Agreement remains in effect.
8. Executive Not to Bind Employer. Executive does not have and will not hold himself
out as having any right, power or authority to create any contract or obligation (other than
purchases and sales
INITIAL
4
in the ordinary course of business and consistent with Employer’s policies as in effect from
time to time or otherwise consistent with Employer’s past practice), express or implied, on behalf
of, in the name of, or binding upon, Southern or Solvay, to pledge either of its credit, or to
extend credit in either of its names (other than in connection with such permitted purchases and
sales), without such party’s specific, prior consent in writing.
9. Sale of Southern. Capitalized terms used in this Article 9 and not otherwise
defined in this Agreement are used as defined in Exhibit “A” hereto. If there is a Sale during the
term of Executive’s employment hereunder, Southern will pay to Executive Executive’s Share within
thirty (30) days thereafter, provided that, if, as a condition to such Sale, the Successor requires
that Executive remain in the Successor’s employ for a period of up to twelve (12) months (the
“Continuation Period”), in the county of Kings, Queens, Nassau, New York or Suffolk, New
York, and in a position, and with compensation, duties and other terms of employment substantially
comparable to those in effect immediately prior to the Sale, and (x) Executive fails or refuses to
accept such employment, for any reason whatsoever, or (y) Executive accepts such employment but
during the Continuation Period terminates his employment (other than due to his death or permanent
disability) or is terminated by the Successor for Gross Cause, then Southern will not be obligated
to pay Executive’s Share to Executive and he will forfeit his right thereto. If the Successor so
requires that Executive remain in its employ and Executive accepts such employment, Southern will
pay Executive’s Share to Executive within 30 days after the earlier of (i) Executive’s death,
permanent disability or termination by the Successor without Gross Cause, and (ii) the completion
of the Continuation Period. All computations required to be made pursuant to Exhibit “A” will be
made by Southern’s Chief Financial Officer in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied. Exhibit “B” hereto will set forth an example of the computation
of the Executive’s Share.
10. Executive’s Warranty and Representation. Executive warrants and represents that he
has the full right and power to enter into and perform this Agreement and that the same does not
conflict with any contract, commitment or arrangement to which he is or was a party or by which he
is or was bound.

harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including
