notice of non-renewal of the Term.

the annual rate of not less than $250,000 (effective January 1, 2006) less such
deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law and
regulations (the "Base Salary"). In the event that the Company, in its sole
discretion, from time to time determines to increase the Base Salary, such
increased amount shall, from and after the effective date of the increase,
constitute "Base Salary" for purposes of this Agreement; provided, that, prior
to January 1, 2006, the Base Salary shall be at same rate as in effect on the
date hereof.
3.2 Incentive Compensation.
3.2.1 Annual Bonus. For fiscal year 2005, the Executive's
bonus, if any, shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion in
accordance with the SPI bonus plan in which the Executive participates in
effect on the date hereof. Commencing with the 2006 fiscal year, the
Executive will be eligible to receive a bonus with respect to the 2006 and
each later fiscal year ending during the Term computed in accordance with
the provisions hereafter. If, with respect to any such fiscal year, the
Company achieves "Consolidated EBITDA" (as defined below) of at least the
percentage set forth in the table below of its business plan for such
fiscal year, such bonus shall be the percentage set forth in the table
below of Base Salary with respect to the fiscal year for which the bonus
(any such bonus, an "Annual Bonus") was earned:

An Annual Bonus if earned in accordance with this Agreement shall be paid no
later than the fifteenth day of the third month next following the year with
respect to which such bonus was earned, provided that, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, as a condition precedent to any bonus
entitlement the Executive must remain in employment with the Company at the time
that the Annual Bonus is paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
may be applicable, such Annual Bonus shall be subject to, and contingent upon,
such shareholder approval as is necessary to cause the Annual Bonus to qualify
as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder as well as approval of this Section 3.2.1 by
the Compensation Committee of Parent's board of directors.
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Consolidated EBITDA" means for any fiscal
year of SPI, consolidated net income for such fiscal year plus, without
duplication and to the extent reflected as a charge in the statement of such
consolidated net income for such fiscal year, the sum of (i) income tax expense,
(ii) interest expense, amortization or write-off of debt discount and debt
issuance costs and commissions (to the extent not already captured in interest
expense), discounts and other fees and charges associated with indebtedness,
(iii) depreciation and amortization expense (excluding amounts of prepaid
incentives under customer contracts), (iv) any extraordinary non-cash expenses
or losses, (v) any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisition of SPI by Parent or an affiliate, (vi) any auditing, legal,
reporting or administrative expenses incurred by SPI in complying with the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, or other reporting obligations required
by securities laws applicable to publicly traded corporations (except to the
extent such expenses are of a type historically charged to the business in the
ordinary course), and (vii) all restructuring costs and minus (i) to the extent
included in the statement of such consolidated net income for such period, the
sum of (a) interest income, (b) any extraordinary or non-recurring income or
gains (including, whether or not otherwise includable as a separate item in the
statement of such consolidated net income for such period, gains on the sales of
assets outside of the ordinary course of business), and (c) income tax credits
(to the extent not netted from income tax expense) and (ii) any cash payments
made during such period in respect of items described in clause (iv) above
subsequent to the fiscal quarter in which the relevant non-cash expenses or
losses were reflected as a charge in the statement of consolidated net income,
all as determined on a consolidated basis, all of the foregoing to be determined
by the Board or the Compensation Committee of Parent's board of directors, as
applicable, with a view to consistency with management projections disclosed as
presented to Parent in the
4
Confidential Management Presentation dated August 2005. For the purposes of
determining compensation milestones for any fiscal year, Consolidated EBITDA
will be adjusted by the Board or the Compensation Committee of Parent's board of
directors, as applicable, as appropriate for material acquisitions or
dispositions of any business or assets of or by the Company or its subsidiaries
for such fiscal year and thereafter.
3.2.2 Long Term Incentive Plan. During the Term, the
Executive shall participate in the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan
("LTIP"), which shall be adopted by the Effective Date. The Executive will
receive 7% of the "LTIP bonus pool," as defined in and in accordance with
the LTIP (which will include a provision that the LTIP bonus pool will be
20% of Consolidated EBITDA achieved by SPI in excess of the target
Consolidated EBITDA). If the Term is extended, the Executive shall
participate in a new Long Term Incentive Plan that shall commence after the
LTIP ends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Section 162(m)
of the Code may be applicable, the LTIP (and any subsequent Long Term
Incentive Plan) shall be subject to, and contingent upon, such shareholder
approval as is necessary to cause the LTIP to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.
3.3 Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the
Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive
during the Term in the performance of the Executive's services under this
Agreement, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other
supporting information as the Company customarily may require of its officers
provided, however, that the maximum amount available for such expenses during
any period may be fixed in advance by the Board.
3.4 Vacation. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to
a vacation period or periods of four (4) weeks taken in accordance with the
vacation policy of the Company during each year of the Term. Vacation time not
used by the end of a year shall be forfeited.

written notice of termination to the Executive. If the Company elects to
terminate the Term by reason of Disability, the Company shall pay to the
Executive promptly after the notice of termination: (i) any Base Salary earned

Executive by the Company. The Executive shall have no further rights to any
compensation (including any Base Salary or Annual Bonus) or any other benefits

4.3 Cause. The Company may at any time by written notice to the
Executive terminate the Term for "Cause" (as defined below) and, upon such
termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Executive shall be entitled

subsidiaries or affiliates, (iii) willful misconduct by the Executive in

policy or rule that constitutes material insubordination.
4.4 Termination by Company without Cause. If the Executive's
employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of

amount equal to one year of Base Salary payable ratably in accordance with the
Company's normal payroll practices, (ii) continuation for a 12-month period
following the date of termination of group health plan benefits to the extent
authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. Section 1161 et seq. (commonly known
as "COBRA"), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in
the same relative proportion by the Company and the Employee as in effect on the
date of termination, (iii) pro-rated Annual Bonus for the year in which
termination occurred if the Executive would have been eligible to receive such
bonus hereunder (including due to satisfaction by the Company of performance
milestones) had the Executive been employed at the time such Annual Bonus is
normally paid, which pro-rated Annual Bonus will be paid at the time and in the
manner such Annual Bonus is paid to other executives receiving such bonus
payment, and (iv) Annual Bonus for the year prior to the year in which the
Executive is so terminated if at the time of termination the Executive has
earned an Annual Bonus payment for such prior year and has not yet been paid
such due to such termination, which prior year Annual Bonus will be paid at the
time and in the manner such prior year Annual Bonus is paid to other executives
receiving such prior year Annual Bonus. The
6
Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation (including any Base
Salary or Annual Bonus) or any other benefits under this Agreement.
4.5 Termination by Executive. The Executive is required to
provide the Company with 60 days' prior written notice of termination to the

receive any Base Salary earned but not paid prior to such termination and shall
have no further rights to any compensation (including any Base Salary or Annual
Bonus) or any other benefits under this Agreement.
4.6 Release. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and
all payments, other than payment of any accrued and unpaid Base Salary to which
the Executive is entitled under this Section 4 are conditioned upon and subject
to the Executive's execution of a general waiver and release, in such form as
may be prepared by the Company, of all claims, except for such matters covered
by provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this
Agreement.
4.7 Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 4, if any payments or benefits due to the Executive hereunder would
cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of
the Code such payments or benefits shall be restructured in a manner which does
not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. Without limiting the
application of the preceding sentence, any payment of money due hereunder which
is delayed in order to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code (e.g.,
a six-month delay in the commencement of severance pay, if necessary, if at the
time of the Executive's termination of employment he is a "specified employee,"
as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be paid as soon as possible
without causing the application of Section 409A.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Restrictive Covenants.
5.1 From the Effective Date, the Company will share with
Executive confidential and trade secret information regarding not only the
Company but also its subsidiaries and affiliates. In view of the fact that the

of the foregoing, publication being deemed to include any presentation or
reproduction of any written, verbal or visual material in any communication
medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper, theatrical production or
movie, or television or radio programming or commercial; and
5.1.2 To deliver promptly to the Company on termination of
the Executive's employment by the Company, or at any time the Company may

or retrieval, relating to the Company's business and all property
associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or have under

Company to cease doing business with the Company, or to reduce the amount of
business such client, customer or supplier does with the Company or (d) directly

directly or indirectly hire, any person who is an employee of or consultant then

activity without the Company's written consent.
5.3 If the Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a
breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, the Company
shall have the following rights and remedies:
5.3.1 The right and remedy to have the provisions of this
Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, 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;
8
5.3.2 The right and remedy to require the Executive to
account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies,
accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the Executive
as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the
provisions of the preceding paragraph, and the Executive hereby agrees to
account for and pay over such benefits to the Company. Each of the rights
and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the other, and shall
be severally enforceable, and all of such rights and remedies shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to
the Company under law or in equity; and
5.3.3 In addition to any other remedy which may be available
(i) at law or in equity, or (ii) pursuant to any other provision of this
Agreement, the payments by the Company of Base Salary and the regular
premium for group health benefits pursuant to Section 4.4 will cease as of
the date on which such violation first occurs. In addition, if the
Executive breaches any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2
and the Company obtains injunctive relief with respect thereto, the period
during which the Executive is required to comply with that particular
covenant shall be extended by the same period that the Executive was in
breach of such covenant prior to the effective date of such injunctive
relief.
5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or
any part thereof, hereafter are held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable,
the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which
shall be given full effect, without regard to those portions found invalid.
5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or
any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of
such provision and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be
enforceable.
5.6 The Executive agrees (whether during or after the Executive's
employment with the Company) not to issue, circulate, publish or utter any false
or disparaging statements, remarks or rumors about the Company or its affiliates
or the officers, directors, managers, customers, partners, or shareholders of
