willful failure and refusal to comply with the material and reasonable

thirty (30) days to cure such nonperformance; (D) the Employee's gross
negligence or willful or intentional misconduct; (E) final written
determination after thirty (30) days notice to the Employee and the
opportunity for the Employee to be

the entering of a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to, a
felony with respect to the Employee, or any other criminal activity which
materially affects the Employee's ability to perform her duties or
materially xxxxx the reputation of the Company.
(ii) If, during the Term, in the opinion of the Company, the
Employee because of physical or mental illness or incapacity shall be
unable for any reason to substantially perform all of her duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement for a period of one hundred and
eighty (180) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period
("Disability"); provided that the Company shall give Employee at least ten
(10) days prior written notice of its intention to terminate this
Agreement, as of the date set forth in the notice, at any time after the
expiration of such one hundred and eighty (180) day period. In case of

(b) Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, in the event of the
termination of Employee's employment:
(i) For cause, or in the event of the resignation of Employee
(excluding circumstances involving Good Reason, as defined below), then as
of the date of such termination all of the Company's obligations hereunder,
including, without limitation, the Company's obligations to pay Employee's
base salary accruing after the date of such termination, and any benefits
(except as otherwise required by applicable law), other than those
obligations which have accrued but remain unpaid as of the date of such
termination (such as accrued but unpaid salary, any accrued but unpaid
bonus, expense reimbursements, health insurance premiums, retirement plan
contributions, if any, vacation pay, sick pay, etc.), and all of the
Employee's obligations hereunder except with respect to Section 7 below,
shall cease and Employee shall not be entitled to receive any incentive
compensation for the Compensation Year of such termination; or
(ii) By the Company for any other reason other than for the reasons
set forth in clause (i) above, or by Employee for Good Reason (as defined
below), then in such event:
(a) Employee shall receive from the Company two payments, each equal to
one-half of the following: the amount of Employee's base salary
(without offset for any compensation received by Employee from any
subsequent employment by any person other than by any affiliate of the
Company or in violation of Section 7 of this Agreement) provided,
however, that in the event the Company intends to offset against any
such severance payment as the result of any alleged violation of
Section 7 by the Employee, the Company shall place in escrow the
amount of any such offset with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable
to Employee and Employee's legal counsel pending a final
non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction as
to whether Employee has indeed violated Section 7 of this Agreement
for a period which is the greater of (A) sixty (60) days from the date
of such termination, or (B) the lesser of two years or the remaining
term of this Agreement. The first payment shall be due on the

ninety days after the effective date of termination. Upon the
effective date of termination in either case, all Options granted to
Employee in Section 3.2 shall become immediately vested and
exercisable. Further, any such termination shall operate to shorten
the period set forth in Section 7(b) and during which the terms of
Section 7 apply to twelve (12) months from the date of termination of
employment. In addition, in the case of any such termination, the
Company shall continue Employee's health care, life insurance and
disability coverage for Employee for the period described in clause
(B) of this subparagraph 5(b)(ii), (i) under the terms of the
applicable Company sponsored health care plan by which he was covered
at the time of such termination of employment, as such plan may be in
effect or may be modified from time to time, or (ii) if such Company
sponsored health care, life insurance or disability plan does not by
its terms allow Employee's participation or continued participation,
the Company shall
3
obtain, at the Company's expense, such insurance coverage on behalf of
Employee that provides all benefits otherwise provided under such
Company sponsored health care, life insurance and disability plans
(collectively, "Continued Health Care Coverage"). "Good Reason" shall
mean any of the following circumstances unless remedied by the Company
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notification by
Employee that such circumstances exist or have occurred: (A)
assignment to Employee of any duties inconsistent with Employee's
position, authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by
paragraph 1 of the Agreement or location of employment, or any other
action by the Company that results in a material diminution of such
position, authority, duties or responsibilities; (B) a material
reduction of Employee's compensation and/or benefits; or (C) any
material failure by the Company to comply with any of the material
provisions of this Agreement.
6. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) If Employee's employment with Edgewater is terminated during the term
of this Agreement following a Change in Control either by Edgewater which is not
for "cause" (as defined in this Agreement) or by the Employee for Good Reason
only, (i) Edgewater shall pay Employee a lump sum in the amount of Employee's
base salary then in effect (which amount shall in no event be less than the
amount of the base salary payment due to Employee under Section 5(b)(ii)(a)
above), and her bonus for the year immediately preceding the year in which the
termination of employment occurs and such lump sum payment shall be due on the
effective date of the termination of Employee's employment; (ii) the provisions
of paragraph 5(b)(ii) relating to exercisability of Options and Continued Health
Care Coverage shall apply; and (iii) the non-competition provisions of paragraph
7 shall apply for a period of one (1) year from the effective Date of
termination. In such event, Employee shall have no further obligations under
this Agreement, other than continued compliance with Section 7 hereof,
(b) A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) any
person, other than StaffMark or an employee benefit plan of StaffMark or
Edgewater, acquires directly or indirectly the "beneficial ownership" (as
defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
"Beneficial Ownership") of any voting security of Edgewater and immediately
after such acquisition such person is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial
Owner of voting securities representing 50% or more of the total voting power of
all of the then-outstanding Edgewater voting securities of Edgewater; (ii) the
stockholders of Edgewater shall approve a merger or merger agreement involving
Edgewater (except into Edgewater's parent in which event this provision shall
apply to the parent), a consolidation transaction involving Edgewater, a
recapitalization or reorganization of Edgewater, a reverse stock split of
outstanding Edgewater voting securities, or the consummation of any such
transaction if stockholder approval is not sought nor obtained, provided,
--------
however, that the foregoing referenced transactions or events in this clause
-------
(ii) shall not constitute a "Change of Control" if such transaction or event
would result in at least 60% of the total voting power represented by
outstanding securities of the surviving or resulting entity (immediately after
such transaction or event after giving effect to the consideration issued or
transferred in such transaction or event on an as-converted or fully-diluted
basis) being Beneficially Owned by at least 60% of the holders of outstanding
voting securities of Edgewater immediately prior to the transaction, with the
voting power of each such continuing holder relative to other such continuing
holders not altered in the transaction in any material way; or (iii) the
stockholders of Edgewater shall approve a plan of complete liquidation of
Edgewater or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Edgewater of all or a
substantial portion of Edgewater's assets (i.e., 50% or more of the total assets
of Edgewater).
(c) (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
in the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution
by Edgewater to or for the benefit of Employee, whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise (a "Payment"), would constitute an "excess parachute payment"
within the meaning of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), amounts payable or distributable to or for the
benefit of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement that are determined to
be "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the
Code (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Agreement are
hereinafter referred to as "Agreement Payments") shall not be paid or
distributed in the amounts or at the times otherwise required by this
Agreement, but shall instead be paid or distributed annually, beginning as
of the effective date of the termination of Employee's employment and
thereafter on each anniversary thereof, in the maximum substantially equal
amounts and over the minimum number of years that are
4
determined to be required to reduce the aggregate present value of
Agreement Payments to an amount that will not cause any Payment to be non-
deductible under section 280G of the Code. For purposes of this Section 6,
present value shall be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of
the Code.
(ii) All determinations to be made under this Section 6 (c) shall be
made by Edgewater's independent public accountant immediately prior to the
Change of Control (the "Accounting Firm"), which firm shall provide its
determinations and any supporting calculations both to Edgewater and
Employee within 10 days of the effective date of the termination of
Employee's employment. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall
be binding upon Edgewater and Employee.
(iii) Within two years after the effective date of the termination of
Employee's employment, the Accounting Firm shall review the determination
made by it pursuant to paragraph (i), above. If at that time, as a result
of the uncertainty in the application of section 280G of the Code at the
time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, the
annual amounts of Agreement Payments or the period over which Agreement
Payments are paid or distributed, as determined pursuant to clause (i),
above, are determined not to satisfy the requirements of clause (i), then
the annual amount of future Agreement Payments and/or the period over which
future Agreement Payments are paid or distributed shall be redetermined to
satisfy the requirements of clause (i), and all future Agreement Payments
shall be paid or distributed in accordance with such redetermination.
(iv) All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in
performing the determinations referred to in paragraphs (ii) and (iii)
above shall be borne solely by Edgewater. Edgewater agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Accounting Firm of and from any and all claims, damages
and expenses resulting from or relating to its determinations pursuant to
paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above, except for claims, damages or expenses
resulting from the negligence or misconduct of the Accounting Firm.
