3. Positions, Duties and Responsibilities.

In addition, in the sole discretion of the CEO, the Executive may be eligible for an additional annual overachievement bonus award opportunity. To the extent earned, the Executive shall be paid his/her annual incentive awards at the same time that other senior-level executives receive their incentive awards.

(10) the benefits described in Section 8(H)(1).

For purposes of this Section 8(F), if preceded by a Potential Change in Control, any of the following events (if such event occurs within two years following such Potential Change in Control) shall be deemed to be a Termination of Executive’s Employment without Cause following a Change in Control: (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause and such termination is at the request or direction of or pursuant to negotiations with a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which will constitute a Change in Control; (ii) the Executive’s employment is terminated through a Constructive Termination Without Cause and the circumstances or events which constitute the basis for Executive’s claim of Constructive Termination occur at the request or direction of, or pursuant to negotiations with, such Person, or (iii) the Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause and such termination is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control which actually occurs.

The Company agrees that the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce amounts payable to Executive under this Section 8(F), and the amounts payable to pursuant to this Section 8(F) shall not be reduced by any amounts earned by or payable to Executive, except as provided in Section 8(F)(9).

(G) Voluntary Termination. In the event that the Executive terminates his/her employment with the Company on his/her own initiative (other than by death, for Disability, by a Constructive Termination without Cause), then he/she shall have the same entitlements as provided in Section 8(C)(2) in the case of a termination by the Company for Cause. A voluntary termination under this Section 8(G) shall be effective upon written notice to the Company and shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

(H) Miscellaneous.

(1) On any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, he/she shall be entitled to:

(A) Base Salary through the Termination Date;

(B) any amounts due him/her under Section 7;

(C) a lump-sum payment in respect of accrued but unused vacation days at his/her Base Salary rate in effect as of the Termination Date;

(D) payment, promptly when due, of all amounts owed to him/her in connection with the termination; and

(E) other benefits, if any, in accordance with applicable plans, programs and arrangements of the Company. This provision will permit the Executive to elect to take advantage of any provisions of, or changes to, the IKON benefit plans which are applicable to IKON employees generally (including, without limitation, provisions relating to the vesting/exercisability of stock options in the event of retirement or disability), provided that Executive opts to have such general provisions applied on his/her behalf instead of those set forth in this Agreement. In no event, however, will this provision entitle Executive to duplicative or double benefits, nor shall he/she be eligible to receive payments under any severance program of the Company applicable to employees generally.

(2) Any amounts due under this Section 8 are considered to be reasonable by the Company and are not in the nature of a penalty.

(3) Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” under section 409A of the Code of a publicly traded corporation on the date of Executive’s termination of employment, the accumulated payments under subsections 8(B) or 8(D)-(F) of this Section 8 that would have been paid within the six month period following Executive’s termination of employment will be delayed on account of section 409A of the Code so that

such amounts shall be paid in a lump sum payment, without interest, within ten (10) business days following the six month anniversary of Executive’s termination of employment. If Executive dies during the postponement period and prior to payment of the postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate within 60 days after the date of Executive’s death. The determination of “specified employees” shall be made by the Human Resources Committee (or its delegate) in accordance with section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

9. Golden Parachute Tax. In the event that any payment or benefit made or provided to or for the benefit of the Executive in connection with this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company, or the termination thereof (a “Payment”) is determined to be subject to any excise tax (“Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor to such Section), the Company shall pay to the Executive, prior to the time any Excise Tax is payable with respect to such Payment (through withholding or otherwise), an additional amount which, after the imposition of all income, employment, excise and other taxes, penalties and interest thereon, is equal to the sum of (i) the Excise Tax on such Payment plus (ii) any penalty and interest assessments associated with such Excise Tax. The determination of whether any Payment is subject to an Excise Tax and, if so, the amount to be paid by the Company to the Executive and the time of payment shall be made by an independent auditor (the “Auditor”) selected jointly by the Parties and paid by the Company. Unless the Executive agrees otherwise in writing, the Auditor shall be a nationally recognized United States public accounting firm that has not, during the two years preceding the date of its selection, acted in any way on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates. If the Parties cannot agree on the firm to serve as the Auditor, then the Parties shall each select one accounting firm and those two firms shall jointly select the accounting firm to serve as the Auditor.

10. Indemnification; D&O Insurance.

(A) Indemnification.
