W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to employ the Executive and the Executive wishes to accept such employment, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment

The Company agrees to employ the Executive during the Term specified in paragraph 2, and the Executive agrees to accept such employment, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

2. Term

Subject to the provisions contained in paragraphs 6 and 7, the Executive's employment by the Company shall commence on August 10, 2007 and shall continue for a term expiring on the close of business on July 31, 2010 (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, the term of the Executive’s employment by the Company under this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional one-year periods thereafter unless and until either party shall give to the other 45 days advance written notice of expiration of any such term (a “Notice of Termination”) (the Initial Term and the period, if any, thereafter, during which the Executive’s employment shall continue are collectively referred to as the “Term”). Any Notice of Termination given under this paragraph 2 shall specify the date of termination. The Company shall have the right at any time during such 45 day notice period, to relieve the Executive of his offices, duties and responsibilities and to place him on a paid leave-of-absence status, provided that during such notice period the Executive shall remain a full-time employee of the Company and shall continue to receive his then current salary compensation, bonus and other benefits as provided in this Agreement. The date on which the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, regardless of the reason therefore, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Date of Termination.”

(b) Duties. The Executive shall report solely and directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), at such times and in such detail as it or he shall reasonably require. The Executive shall perform such executive and managerial duties, and shall only have authorities and responsibilities, consistent with his position as designated in paragraph 3(a) in a corporation of the size and nature of the Company, and as may reasonably be assigned to him from time to time by or under authority of the Board and/or the CEO.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted to (A) upon prior written consent of the CEO (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), serve on the board of directors of two companies unaffiliated with the Company; provided that such companies are not engaged in any activity which is competitive with the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “MDC Group”), and (B) engage in charitable and civic activities and manage his personal passive investments, provided that such passive investments are not in a company which transacts business with the Company or its affiliates or engages in business directly competitive with that conducted by the Company (or, if such company does transact business with the Company, or does engage in a directly competitive business, it is a publicly held corporation and the Executive's participation is limited to owning less than 1% of its outstanding shares), and further provided that such activities (individually or collectively) do not materially interfere with the performance of his duties or responsibilities under this Agreement.

(d) Office Location. During the Term, the Executive's services hereunder shall be performed at the offices of the Company, which shall be within a twenty five (25) mile radius of New York, NY, subject to necessary travel requirements to the Company’s offices in Toronto, Canada and other MDC Group company locations in order to carry out his duties in connection with his position hereunder.

The Company, by direction of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors or the CEO, shall be entitled to terminate the Term and to discharge the Executive for “Cause” in accordance with this Section 6. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall be limited to:

In the event that the Executive is purportedly terminated for Cause and the arbitrator appointed pursuant to paragraph 18 determines that Cause as defined herein was not present, then such purported termination for Cause shall be deemed a termination without Cause pursuant to paragraph 6(c) and the Executive's rights and remedies will be governed by paragraph 7(b).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall be limited to (i) a material breach by the Company of a material provision of this Agreement, which breach remains uncured (if curable) for a period of 20 days after written notice of such breach from the Executive to the Company (such notice to specify the nature of the claimed breach and the manner in which the Executive requires such breach to be cured), (ii) a reduction in Executive’s then current Base Salary or target bonus opportunity as a percentage of Base Salary, (iii) a material diminution of the Executive’s title, duties or responsibilities as set forth in paragraph 3, without his prior written consent, which breach remains uncured (if curable) for a period of 20 days after written notice of such breach from the Executive to the Company (such notice to specify the nature of the claimed breach and the manner in which the Executive requires such breach to be cured); (iv) a change in the reporting structure so that Executive reports to someone other than the Board or the CEO; or (v) relocation of the Executive’s principal office to a location more than 25 miles outside New York, NY. In the event that the Executive purportedly terminates his employment for Good Reason and the arbitrator appointed pursuant to paragraph 18 determines that Good Reason as defined herein was not present, then such purported termination for Good Reason shall be deemed a termination for Cause pursuant to paragraph 6(a)(vii) and the Executive’s rights and remedies will be governed by paragraph 7(a).

(c) Termination without Cause. The Company, by direction of the Board or the CEO, shall have the right at any time during the Term to terminate the employment of the Executive without Cause by giving thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Executive setting forth a Date of Termination.

In the event the Executive shall be unable to perform his duties hereunder by virtue of illness or physical or mental incapacity or disability (from any cause or causes whatsoever) as determined by a medical doctor selected by the Executive and the Company, in substantially the manner and to the extent required hereunder prior to the commencement of such disability and the Executive shall fail to perform such duties for periods aggregating 150 days, whether or not continuous, in any continuous period of 360 days (such causes being herein referred to as “Disability”), the Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive's employment hereunder as at the end of any calendar month during the continuance of such Disability upon at least 30 days' prior written notice to him.

7. Effect of Termination of Employment.

In the event of termination of the employment of Executive in the circumstances described in this paragraph 7(a), except as expressly provided in this paragraph, the Company shall have no further liability to the Executive or the Executive's heirs, beneficiaries or estate for damages, compensation, benefits, severance or other amounts of whatever nature, directly or indirectly, arising out of or otherwise related to this Agreement and the Executive's employment or cessation of employment with the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any outstanding indemnification or directors & officers insurance obligations of the Company in respect of the Executive’s good faith actions in his capacity as a member, director, employee or officer thereof arising on or prior to the Date of Termination (“Outstanding Indemnification Obligations”). All outstanding equity awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable plan, program or arrangement of the Company and the relevant equity award documents.

(b) Termination by the Company without Cause; by the Company pursuant to a Notice of Termination delivered pursuant to paragraph 2 above; or by the Executive for Good Reason. In the event of a termination (1) by the Company without Cause; (2) by the Executive for Good Reason; or (3) by the Company pursuant to a Notice of Termination delivered pursuant to paragraph 2 above, the Executive shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:

(i)

a severance payment (the “ Severance Amount”) in an amount equal to the product of one (1) multiplied by the Executive’s “Total Remuneration”, plus an amount equal to two (2) month’s Base Salary for each calendar year in which Executive was employed by the Company up to a maximum of six (6) months. For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Remuneration” shall mean the sum of the

Executive’s current Base Salary and Perquisite Allowance, plus the highest annual discretionary bonus earned by the Executive in the three (3) years ending December 31 of the year immediately preceding the Date of Termination. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated hereunder prior to the payment of the first annual discretionary bonus, the Severance Amount shall be calculated using the target award as described in Section 4(d) above. The Severance Amount described in this Section 7(b)(i), less applicable withholding of any tax amounts, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive not later than 10 business days after the applicable Date of Termination; provided, that, if at the Date of Termination, the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended), and if required to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended), then such payment shall not be made within 10 business days after the Date of Termination but shall instead be made within 10 business days following the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination.

(ii)

his Annual Discretionary Bonus (or 2007 Cash Bonus, if applicable) with respect to the calendar year prior to the Date of Termination, when otherwise payable to active participants in the discretionary bonus plan (which in no event will be later than two and one-half months following the end of the preceding calendar year), but only to the extent not already paid;

(iii)

a pro-rata portion of his Annual Discretionary Bonus with respect to the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, when otherwise payable to active participants in the discretionary bonus plan, (which in no event will be later than two and one-half months following the end of the preceding calendar year), (such pro-rata amount to be equal to the product of (A) the amount of the Annual Discretionary Bonus for such calendar year, times (B) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of calendar days commencing January 1 of such year and ending on the Date of Termination, and (y) the denominator of which shall equal 365;

(iv)

unpaid Base Salary and Perquisite Allowance through, and any unpaid reimbursable expenses outstanding as of, the Date of Termination;

(v)

all benefits, if any, that had accrued to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the plans and programs described in paragraphs 5(b) and (c) above, or any other applicable benefit plans and programs in which the Executive participated as an employee of the Company, in the manner and in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs; it being understood that any and all rights that the Executive may have to severance payments by the Company shall be determined and solely based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (without duplication) and not based on the Company's severance policy then in effect, if any; and

(vi)

continued participation on the same basis in the plans and programs set forth in paragraph 5(b) and to the extent permitted under applicable law, paragraph 5(c) (such benefits collectively called the "Continued Plans") in which the Executive was participating on the Date of Termination (as such Continued Plans are from time to time in effect at the Company) for a period to end on the earlier of (A) the one-year anniversary of the Date of Termination and (B) the date on which the Executive is eligible to receive coverage and benefits under the same type of plan of a subsequent employer.

In the event of termination of this Agreement in the circumstances described in this paragraph 7(b), except as expressly provided in this paragraph, the Company shall have no further liability to the Executive or the Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries or estate for damages, compensation, benefits, severance or other amounts of whatever nature, directly or indirectly, arising out of or otherwise related to this Agreement and the Executive’s employment or cessation of employment with the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Outstanding Indemnification Obligations.

The Executive shall be under no duty to mitigate damages hereunder. The making of any severance payments and providing the other benefits as provided in this paragraph 7(b) is conditioned upon the Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Separation Agreement").

(c) Termination by the Company without Cause; by the Executive for Good Reason; or by the Company pursuant to a Notice of Termination delivered pursuant to paragraph 2 above, following a Change of Control. If within one (1) year after the closing date of any Change of Control transaction, the Executive’s employment is terminated: (1) by the Company without Cause; (2) by the Executive for Good Reason; or (3) by the Company pursuant to a Notice of Termination delivered pursuant to paragraph 2 above, the Executive shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:

(i)

a severance payment (the “Change in Control Severance Amount”) in an amount equal to the product of 1.5 multiplied by the Executive’s Total Remuneration. The Change in Control Severance Amount described in this Section 7(c)(i), less applicable withholding of any tax amounts, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive not later than 10 business days after the applicable Date of Termination; provided, that, if at the Date of Termination, the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986(as amended), and if required to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended), then such payment shall not be made within 10 business days after the Date of Termination but shall instead be made within 10 business days following the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination.

(ii)

(iii)

a pro-rata portion of his Annual Discretionary Bonus with respect to the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, when otherwise payable to active participants in the discretionary bonus plan (which in no event will be later than two and one-half months following the end of the preceding calendar year), (such pro-rata amount to be equal to the product of (A) the amount of the Annual Discretionary Bonus for such calendar year, times (B) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of calendar days commencing January 1 of such year and ending on the Date of Termination, and (y) the denominator of which shall equal 365;

(iv)

unpaid Base Salary and Perquisite Allowance through, and any unpaid reimbursable expenses outstanding as of, the Date of Termination;

(v)

(vi)

continued participation on the same basis in the Continued Plans in which the Executive was participating on the Date of Termination (as such Continued Plans are from time to time in effect at the Company) for a period to end on the earlier of (A) the one-year anniversary of the Date of Termination and (B) the date on which the Executive is eligible to receive coverage and benefits under the same type of plan of a subsequent employer; provided, however, if the Executive is precluded from continuing his participation in any Continued Plan (other than any Continued Plan that is terminated by the Company on or after the Date of Termination), then the Company will be obligated to pay him the economic equivalent of the benefits provided under the Continued Plan in which he is unable to participate, for the period specified above.

For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall be limited to the closing of a transaction which results in (i) any person(s) or company(ies) acting jointly or in concert owning, directly or indirectly, equity of the Company representing greater than 50% of the voting power of the Company's outstanding securities, or (ii) the Company selling all or substantially all of its assets (in each instance other than any transfer by the Company or any of its affiliates of their respective interest in the Company to another wholly-owned subsidiary of another MDC Group company).

In the event of termination of this Agreement in the circumstances described in this paragraph 7(c), except as expressly provided in this paragraph, the Company shall have no further liability to the Executive or the Executive's heirs, beneficiaries or estate for damages, compensation, benefits, severance or other amounts of whatever nature, directly or indirectly, arising out of or otherwise related to this Agreement and the Executive's employment or cessation of employment with the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Outstanding Indemnification Obligations.

The Executive shall be under no duty to mitigate damages hereunder. The making of any severance payments and providing the other benefits as provided in this paragraph 7(c) is conditioned upon the Executive signing and not revoking a Separation Agreement.

8. Non-Solicitation/Non-Servicing Agreement and Protection of Confidential Information

(a) Non-Solicitation/Non-Servicing. The parties hereto agree that the covenants given in this paragraph 8 are being given incident to the agreements and transactions described herein, and that such covenants are being given for the benefit of the Company. Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges (i) that the business and the industry in which the Company competes is highly competitive; (ii) that as a key executive of the Company he has participated in and will continue to participate in the servicing of current clients and/or the solicitation of prospective clients, through which, among other things, the Executive has obtained and will continue to obtain knowledge of the "know-how" and business practices of the Company, in which matters the Company has a substantial proprietary interest; (iii) that his employment hereunder requires the performance of services which are special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual in character, and his position with the Company places and placed him in a position of confidence and trust with the clients and employees of the Company; and (iv) that his rendering of services to the clients of the Company necessarily required and will continue to require the disclosure to the Executive of confidential information (as defined in paragraph 8(b) hereof) of the Company. In the course of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive has and will continue to develop a personal relationship with the clients of the Company and a knowledge of those clients' affairs and requirements, and the relationship of the Company with its established clientele will therefore be placed in the Executive's hands in confidence and trust. The Executive consequently agrees that it is a legitimate interest of the Company, and reasonable and necessary for the protection of the confidential information,

goodwill and business of the Company, which is valuable to the Company, that the Executive make the covenants contained herein and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement unless the covenants set forth in this paragraph 8 were contained in this Agreement. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that during the period that he is employed by the Company and for a period of fifteen (15) months thereafter (such period being referred to as the "Restricted Period"), he shall not, as an individual, employee, consultant, independent contractor, partner, shareholder, or in association with any other person, business or enterprise, except on behalf of the Company, directly or indirectly, and regardless of the reason for his ceasing to be employed by the Company:

(i) attempt in any manner to solicit or accept from any client business of the type performed by the Company or to persuade any client to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which any such client has customarily done or is reasonably expected to do with the Company, whether or not the relationship between the Company and such client was originally established in whole or in part through the Executive’s efforts; or

(ii) employ as an employee or retain as a consultant any person, firm or entity who is then or at any time during the preceding twelve months was an employee of or exclusive consultant to the Company, or persuade or attempt to persuade any employee of or exclusive consultant to the Company to leave the employ of the Company or to become employed as an employee or retained as a consultant by any person, firm or entity other than the Company; or

(iii) render to or for any client any services of the type which are rendered by the Company.

As used in this paragraph 8, the term "Company" shall include any subsidiaries of the Company and the term "client" shall mean (1) anyone who is a client of the Company on the Date of Termination, or if the Executive's employment shall not have terminated, at the time of the alleged prohibited conduct (any such applicable date being called the "Determination Date"); (2) anyone who was a client of the Company at any time during the one year period immediately preceding the Determination Date; (3) any prospective client to whom the Company had made a new business presentation (or similar offering of services) at any time during the one year period immediately preceding the Date of Termination; and (4) any prospective client to whom the Company made a new business presentation (or similar offering of services) at any time within six months after the Date of Termination (but only if initial discussions between the Company and such prospective client relating to the rendering of services occurred prior to the Date of Termination, and only if the Executive participated in or supervised such discussions). For purposes of this clause, it is agreed that a general mailing or an incidental contact shall not be deemed a "new business presentation or similar offering of services" or a "discussion". In addition, "client" shall also include any clients of other companies operating within the MDC group of companies to whom the Executive rendered services (including supervisory services) at any time during the six-month period prior to the Determination Date. In addition, if the client is part of a group of companies which conducts business through more than one entity, division or operating unit, whether or not separately incorporated (a "Client Group"), the term "client" as used herein shall also include each entity, division and operating unit of the Client Group where the same management group of the Client Group has the decision making authority or significant influence with respect to contracting for services of the type rendered by the Company.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it shall not be a breach of Section 8(a)(i) if any such client had a relationship with any subsequent employer that pre-existed Executive working for such employer.

(b) Confidential Information. In the course of the Executive's employment with the Company (and its predecessor), he has acquired and will continue to acquire and have access to confidential or proprietary information about the Company and/or its clients, including but not limited to, trade secrets, methods, models, passwords, access to computer files, financial information and records, computer software programs, agreements and/or contracts between the Company and its clients, client contacts, client preferences, creative policies and ideas, advertising campaigns, creative and media materials, graphic design materials, sales promotions and campaigns, sales presentation materials, budgets, practices, concepts, strategies, methods of operation, financial or business projections of the Company and information about or received from clients and other companies with which the Company does business. The foregoing shall be collectively referred to as "confidential information". The Executive is aware that the confidential information is not readily available to the public and accordingly, the Executive also agrees that, other than in the ordinary course of lawfully performing his duties for the Company, he will not at any time (whether during the Term or after termination of this Agreement), disclose to anyone (other than his counsel in the course of a dispute arising from the alleged disclosure of confidential information or as required by law) any confidential information, or utilize such confidential information for his own benefit, or for the benefit of third parties. The Executive agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply whether or not any such information is marked "confidential" and regardless of the form of the information. The term "confidential information" does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than by breach of this provision or (ii) the Executive learns from a third party who is not under an obligation of confidence to the Company or a client of the Company. In the event that the Executive becomes legally required to disclose any confidential information, he will provide the Company with prompt notice thereof so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 8(b) to permit a particular disclosure. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 8(b) to permit a particular disclosure, the Executive will furnish only that portion of the confidential information which he is legally required to disclose and, at the Company's expense, will cooperate with the efforts of the Company to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the confidential information. The Executive further agrees that all memoranda, disks, files, notes, records or other documents, whether in electronic form or hard copy (collectively, the "material") compiled by him or made available to him during his employment with the Company (whether or not the material constitutes or contains confidential information), and in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder, shall be the property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company on the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company or at any other time upon request. Except in connection with the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive agrees that he will not make or retain copies or excerpts of the material; provided that the Executive shall be entitled to retain his personal files.

(c) Remedies. If the Executive commits or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of paragraphs 8(a) or (b), the Company shall have the right to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by the arbitrator appointed under paragraph 18 or by any court having jurisdiction without being required to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In addition, the Company may take all such other actions and remedies available to it under law or in equity and shall be entitled to such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach.

(d) Acknowledgements. The parties acknowledge that (i) the type and periods of restriction imposed in the provisions of paragraphs 8(a) and (b) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required in order to protect and maintain the proprietary interests of the Company described above, other legitimate business interests and the goodwill associated with the business of the Company; (ii) the time, scope and other provisions of this paragraph 8 have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties, represented by legal counsel, and are given as an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) because of the nature of the business engaged in by the Company and the fact that clients can be and are serviced by the Company wherever they are located, it is impractical and unreasonable to place a geographic limitation on the agreements made by the Executive herein. The Executive specifically acknowledges that his being restricted from soliciting and servicing clients and prospective clients as contemplated by this Agreement will not prevent him from being employed or earning a livelihood in the type of business conducted by the Company. If any of the covenants contained in paragraphs 8(a) or (b), or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable by reason of it extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographic area or by reason of it being too extensive in any other respect, the parties agree (x) such covenant shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographic areas as to which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by the court or arbitration panel making such determination and (y) in its reduced form, such covenant shall then be enforceable, but such reduced form of covenant shall only apply with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in or for which such adjudication is made. Each of the covenants and agreements contained in this paragraph 8 (collectively, the "Protective Covenants") is separate, distinct and severable. All rights, remedies and benefits expressly provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies or benefits provided for by law or in this Agreement, and the exercise of any remedy by a party hereto shall not be deemed an election to the exclusion of any other remedy (any such claim by the other party being hereby waived). The existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action of the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of each Protective Covenant. The unenforceability of any Protective Covenant shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Protective Covenant or any other provision or provisions of this Agreement.

(e) Notification of Restrictive Covenants. Prior to accepting employment with any person, firm or entity during the Restricted Period, the Executive shall notify the prospective employer in writing of his obligations pursuant to this paragraph 8 and shall simultaneously provide a copy of such notice to the Company (it being agreed by the Company that such notification required under this paragraph 8(e) shall not be deemed a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement).

(f) Tolling. The temporal duration of the non-solicitation/non-servicing covenants set forth in this Agreement shall not expire, and shall be tolled, during any period in which the Executive is in violation of any of the non-solicitation/non-servicing covenants set forth herein, and all restrictions shall automatically be extended by the period of the Executive's violation of any such restrictions.

9. Intellectual Property

During the Term, the Executive will disclose to the Company all ideas, inventions and business plans developed by him during such period which relate directly or indirectly to the business of the Company, including without limitation, any design, logo, slogan, advertising campaign or any process, operation, product or improvement which may be patentable or copyrightable. The Executive agrees that all patents, licenses, copyrights, tradenames, trademarks, service marks, planning, marketing and/or creative policies and ideas, advertising campaigns, promotional campaigns, media campaigns, budgets, practices, concepts, strategies, methods of operation, financial or business projections, designs, logos, slogans and business plans developed or created by the Executive in the course of his employment hereunder, either individually or in collaboration with others, will be deemed works for hire and the sole and absolute property of the Company. The Executive agrees that at the Company's request and expense, he will take all steps necessary to secure the rights thereto to the Company by patent, copyright or otherwise, at the Company’s sole expense.

10. Enforceability

The failure of any party at any time to require performance by another party of any provision hereunder shall in no way affect the right of that party thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall it affect any other party's right to enforce the same, or to enforce any of the other provisions in this Agreement; nor shall the waiver by any party of the breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

11. Assignment

The Company and the Executive agree that the Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement in connection with any asset assignment of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, stock sale, merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization involving the Company and, accordingly, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and may be enforced by, any and all successors and such assigns of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company under this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. The Company and Executive agree that Executive's rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal to the Executive, and the Executive shall not have the right to assign or otherwise transfer his rights or obligations under this Agreement, and any purported assignment or transfer shall be void and ineffective, provided that the rights of the Executive to receive certain benefits upon death as expressly set forth under paragraph 7(a) of this Agreement shall inure to the Executive’s estate and heirs. The rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall be binding upon and run in favor of the successors and assigns of the Company.

12. Modification

This Agreement may not be orally canceled, changed, modified or amended, and no cancellation, change, modification or amendment shall be effective or binding, unless in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement, and approved in writing by the CEO.

13. Severability; Survival

In the event any provision or portion of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding upon the parties with the same effect as though the invalid or unenforceable part had been severed and deleted or reformed to be enforceable. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the termination of the Executive's employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations, specifically paragraphs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 23 and 24.

14. Notice

Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party hereto to another party shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective (a) upon personal delivery, if delivered by hand, or (b) three days after the date of deposit in the mails, postage prepaid if mailed by certified or registered mail, or (c) on the next business day, if sent by prepaid overnight courier service or facsimile transmission (if electronically confirmed), and in each case, addressed as follows:

15. Applicable Law

This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced under, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

16. Representations and Warranties

The Executive represents and warrants that he is not subject to any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree of any kind, or any other restrictive agreement of any character, which would prevent him from entering into this Agreement or which would be breached by the Executive upon his performance of his duties pursuant to this Agreement.

The Company represents and warrants that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company has been fully and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and (ii) the officer signing this Agreement on behalf of the Company is duly authorized to do so..

17. Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the documents referenced herein represent the entire agreement between the Company and the Executive with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company, and all prior agreements (including, without limitation, the Original Employment Agreement), plans and arrangements relating to the employment of the Executive by the Company are nullified and superseded hereby.

18. Arbitration

(a) The parties hereto agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any claim regarding or related to the interpretation, scope, effect, enforcement, termination, extension, breach, legality, remedies and other aspects of this Agreement or the conduct and communications of the parties regarding this Agreement and the subject matter of this

Agreement) shall be settled in private by binding arbitration, to be held in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (and not the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes) of the American Arbitration Association and this Section 18. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Pending the resolution of any arbitration proceeding, the Executive (and his beneficiaries) shall continue to receive all payments and benefits due under this Agreement or otherwise. No party or arbitrator shall disclose in whole or in part to any other person, firm or entity any confidential information submitted in connection with the arbitration proceedings, except to the extent reasonably necessary to assist counsel in the arbitration or preparation for arbitration of the dispute. Confidential Information may be disclosed to (i) attorneys, (ii) parties, and (iii) outside experts requested by either party’s counsel to furnish technical or expert services or to give testimony at the arbitration proceedings, subject, in the case of such experts, to execution of a legally binding written statement that such expert is fully familiar with the terms of this provision, agree to comply with the confidentiality terms of this provision, and will not use any confidential information disclosed to such expert for personal or business advantage.

(b) The Executive has read and understands this paragraph 18. The Executive understands that by signing this Agreement, the Executive agrees to submit any claims arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach or termination thereof, or his employment or the termination thereof, to binding arbitration, and that this arbitration provision constitutes a waiver of the Executive’s right to a jury trial and relates to the resolution of all disputes relating to all aspects of the employer/employee relationship.

(c) To the extent that any part of this paragraph 18 is found to be legally unenforceable for any reason, that part shall be modified or deleted in such a manner as to render this paragraph 18 (or the remainder of this paragraph 18) legally enforceable and as to ensure that except as otherwise provided in clause (a) of this paragraph 18, all conflicts between the Company and the Executive shall be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration. The remainder of this paragraph 18 shall not be affected by any such modification or deletion but shall be construed as severable and independent. If a court finds that the arbitration procedures of this paragraph 18 are not absolutely binding, then the parties hereto intend any arbitration decision to be fully admissible in evidence, given great weight by any finder of fact, and treated as determinative to the maximum extent permitted by law.

19. Headings

The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

20. Withholdings

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

21. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts or by facsimile transmission, both of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

22. No Strict Construction

The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Company and the Executive to express their mutual intent, and no rule of law or contract interpretation that provides that in the case of ambiguity or uncertainty a provision should be construed against the draftsman will be applied against any party hereto.

23. Publicity

Subject to the provisions of the next sentence, no party to this Agreement shall issue any press release or other public document or make any public statement relating to this Agreement or the matters contained herein without obtaining the prior approval of the Company and the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provision shall not apply to the extent that the Company is required to make any announcement relating to or arising out of this Agreement by virtue of applicable securities laws or other stock exchange rules, or any announcement by any party pursuant to applicable law or regulations.

24. Indemnification and Liability Insurance. The Company agrees to continue and maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the Executive at a level, and on terms and conditions, no less favorable to him than the coverage the Company provides other similarly-situated executives until such time as suits against the Executive are no longer permitted by law, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Bylaws.

25. Non- Disparagement

Following the date hereof, the Executive and the Company shall each use their reasonable best efforts not to publicly disparage, criticize or make statements to the detriment of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any person from (a) responding publicly to incorrect, disparaging or derogatory public statements to the extent reasonably necessary to correct or refute such public statement, or (b) making any truthful statement to the extent required by order of a court or other body having jurisdiction or required by law. .

8. For good and valuable consideration, the Company, on its behalf and on behalf of each of its affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release you from any and all Claims which any of them ever had, now have or hereafter may have (either directly or indirectly, derivatively or in any other representative capacity) by reason of any matter, fact or cause from the beginning of time to the date of this Agreement arising out of your performance of duties as an employee or officer of the Company or another member of the Group or your termination of employment with the Company, except if a Claim arises out of your fraudulent conduct, your misappropriation or embezzlement of funds, or any other unlawful conduct; provided, however, the foregoing release shall not apply to or release any rights of the Company under the terms of this Agreement.
