If the Executive breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement while she is employed by the Company or during the time period set forth in Sections 11.1 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement/Disclosure of Information), 11.2 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement/Covenants Regarding Other Employees and Customers), 11.3 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement/Non-compete Following a Termination of Employment), or 11.4 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement/Non-Disparagement) he shall forfeit any and all rights she may have to payments due to her under the long-term incentive compensation plan. In addition, the Executive

- 16 -

		shall be required to remit any cash severance paid to the Executive (other than accrued vacation time) within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of the breach of this Agreement;
	(b)	Furthermore, if the Executive breaches or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have the obligations pursuant to such sections 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 alone will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, monetary damages or any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law.

11.6 Code of Conduct. Nothing in this Article 11 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement) is intended to limit, modify or reduce Executive’s obligations under the Company’s Code of Conduct. Executive’s obligations under this Article 11 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, Executive’s obligations under the Code of Conduct. To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Article 11 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement) and the Code of Conduct which would permit the Executive to take any action or engage in any activity pursuant to this Article 11 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement) which Executive would be barred from taking or engaging in under the Code of Conduct, the Code of Conduct shall control.

Article 12. Proprietary Developments.

12.1 Proprietary Developments. Any and all inventions, products, discoveries, improvements, processes, methods, computer software programs, models, techniques, or formulae (collectively, hereinafter referred to as “Developments”), made, conceived, developed, or created by Executive (alone or in conjunction with others, during regular work hours or otherwise) during Executive’s employment, which may be directly or indirectly useful in, or relate to, the business conducted or to be conducted by the Company will be promptly disclosed by Executive to the Company and shall be the Company’s exclusive property. The term “Developments” shall not be deemed to include inventions, products, discoveries, improvements, processes, methods, computer software programs, models, techniques, or formulae which were in the possession of Executive prior to the term of this Agreement. Executive hereby transfers and assigns to the Company all proprietary rights which Executive may have or acquire in any Developments and Executive waives any other special right which the Executive may have or accrue therein. Executive will execute any documents and to take any actions that may be required, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s counsel,

- 17 -

to effect and confirm such assignment, transfer and waiver, to direct the issuance of patents, trademarks, or copyrights to the Company with respect to such Developments as are to be the Company’s exclusive property or to vest in the Company title to such Developments; provided, however, that the expense of securing any patent, trademark or copyright shall be borne by the Company. The parties agree that Developments shall constitute confidential information for purposes of Section 11.1 (Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement/Disclosure of Information).

12.2 Work Made for Hire. Any work performed by Executive during Executive’s employment with the Company shall be considered a “Work Made for Hire” as defined in the U.S. Copyright laws, and shall be owned by and for the express benefit of the Company. In the event it should be established that such work does not qualify as a Work Made for Hire, Executive agrees to and does hereby assign to the Company all of Executive’s right, title, and interest in such work product including, but not limited to, all copyrights and other proprietary rights.

12.3 Cooperation. Both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, Executive shall fully cooperate with the Company in the protection and enforcement of any intellectual property rights that relate to services performed by Executive for the Company, whether under the terms of this Agreement or prior to the execution of this Agreement. This shall include without limitation executing, acknowledging, and delivering to Company all documents or papers that may be necessary to enable the Company to publish or protect such intellectual property rights. The Company shall bear all costs in connection with Executive’s compliance with the terms of this section.

Article 13. Executive’s Representations and Further Agreements.

13.1 Executive’s Representations. Executive represents, warrant, and covenants to Company that:

(a)

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive nor the performance of any of Executive’s duties hereunder in accordance with the Agreement will violate, conflict with, or result in the breach of any order, judgment, employment contract, agreement not to compete, or other agreement or arrangement to which Executive is a party or is subject;

(b)

On or prior to the date hereof, Executive has furnished to the Company true and complete copies of all judgments, orders, written employment contracts, agreements not to compete or other agreements or arrangements that have current application to Employee;

- 18 -

(c)

Executive is knowledgeable and sophisticated as to business matters, including the subject matter of this Agreement, and that prior to assenting to the terms of this Agreement, or giving the representations and warranties herein, he has been given a reasonable time to review it and has consulted with counsel of Executive’s choice; and

(d)

Executive will not knowingly breach or violate any provision of any law or regulations or any agreement to which Executive may be bound.

(e)

Executive has not provided, nor been requested by the Company to provide, to the Company, any confidential or non public document or information of a former employer that constitutes or contains any protected trade secret, and will not use any protected trade secrets in connection with the Executive’s employment.

13.2 Cooperation. During and subsequent to expiration of the term of this Agreement, the Executive will, within reason cooperate with the Company, and furnish any and all complete and truthful information, testimony or affidavits in connection with any matter that arose during the Executive’s employment, that in any way relates to the business or operations of the Company or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations or affiliates, or of which the Executive may have any knowledge or involvement; and will consult with and provide information to the Company and its representatives concerning such matters. Subsequent to the term of this Agreement, the parties will make their best efforts to have such cooperation performed at reasonable times and places and in a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with any other employment in which Executive may then be engaged. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as requiring the Executive to provide any testimony, sworn statement, or declaration that is not complete and truthful. If the Company requires the Executive to travel outside the metropolitan area in the United States where the Executive then resides to provide any testimony or otherwise provide any such assistance, then the Company will reimburse the Executive for any reasonable, ordinary, and necessary travel and lodging expenses incurred by Executive to do so provided the Executive submits all documentation required under the Company’s standard travel expense reimbursement policies and as otherwise may be required to satisfy any requirements under applicable tax laws for the Company to deduct those expenses. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as requiring the Executive to provide any testimony or affidavit that is not complete and truthful.

13.3 Forfeiture of Compensation. To the extent required by applicable law: If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, if the Executive knowingly or grossly negligently engaged in the misconduct, or

- 19 -

if the Executive, despite having actual knowledge of such misconduct, failed to inform the CEO, CFO, COO or Board of Directors of such misconduct within a reasonable period, or if the Executive is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, the Executive shall reimburse the Company the amount of any paid compensation earned or accrued during the twelve-(12-)month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever just occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement.

Article 14. Miscellaneous

14.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto or between the Executive and the Company, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect thereto.

14.2 Modification. This Agreement shall not be varied, altered, modified, canceled, changed, or in any way amended except by mutual agreement of the parties in a written instrument executed by the parties hereto or their legal representatives.

14.3 Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

14.4 Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures.

14.5 Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

14.6 Beneficiaries. Any payments or benefits hereunder due to the Executive at the time of Executive’s death shall nonetheless be paid or provided and the Executive may designate one or more individuals or entities as the primary and/or contingent Beneficiaries of any amounts to be received under this Agreement. Such designation must be in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Board. The Executive may make or change such designation at any time.

14.7 Payment Obligation Absolute.. All amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. The restrictive covenants contained in Articles 11

- 20 -

(Confidentiality, Non-solicitation, Non-competition, and Non-disparagement), 12 (Proprietary Developments), and 13 (Executive’s Representations and Further Agreements) are independent of any other contractual obligations in this Agreement or otherwise owed by the Company to the Executive. Except as provided in this paragraph, the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether based on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not create a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any restrictive covenant contained herein.

The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement.

14.8 Contractual Rights to Benefits. Subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, this Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he is entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder.

14.9 Specific Performance. The Executive acknowledges that the obligations undertaken by him pursuant to this Agreement are unique and that the Company will likely have no adequate remedy at law if the Executive shall fail to perform any of Executive’s obligations hereunder. The Executive therefore confirms that the Company’s right to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement is essential to protect the rights and interests of the Company. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies that the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall have the right to have all obligations, covenants, agreements, and other provisions of this Agreement specifically performed by the Executive and the Company shall have the right to obtain preliminary injunctive relief to secure specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement by the Executive.

14.10 Compliance with Code Section 409A.

(a) In General. This Agreement is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Code Section 409A. Where reasonably possible and practicable, the Agreement shall be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on Executive of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to such Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any liability to the Executive or Executive’s estate in the event such Section 409A applies to any

- 21 -

compensation under this Agreement in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences for the Executive or any of Executive’s beneficiaries or transferees.

(b) Elective Deferrals. Any elective deferrals of compensation payable under this Agreement shall only be permitted pursuant to the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan, if any.

(c) Applicable Requirements. To the extent any compensation granted under this Agreement is deemed “deferred compensation” and hence subject to Code Section 409A, the following rules shall apply to such compensation:

(i) Mandatory Deferrals. If the Company decides that the payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be deferred within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then, except as provided pursuant to Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii), at the time of the grant to which such compensation payment relates, the Company shall specify the date(s) at which such compensation will be paid.

(ii) Subsequent Deferral Elections. To the extent the Company or Committee decides to permit compensation subject to Code Section 409A to be re-deferred pursuant to Treas. Reg. 1.409A-2(b), then the following conditions must be met: (1) such election will not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which it is made; (2) in the case of an election not related to a payment on account of disability, death, or an unforeseeable emergency, the payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid; and, (3) any election related to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(a)(4)) must be made not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid.

(iii) Timing of Payments. Payment(s) of compensation that is subject to Code Section 409A shall only be made upon an event or at a time set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3, i.e., the Executive’s separation from service, the Executive’s becoming disabled, the Executive’s death, at a time or a fixed schedule specified in the applicable plan or an award agreement, a change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation, or the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency.

(iv) Certain Delayed Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent an amount was intended to be paid such that it would have qualified as a short-term deferral under Code Section 409A and the applicable regulations, then such payment may be delayed if the requirements of Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii) are met.

- 22 -

(v) Acceleration of Payment. Except in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(j)(4), any payment made under this Agreement to which Code Section 409A applies may not be accelerated, , i.e., payments may only be made upon the Executive’s separation from service, the Executive becoming disabled, the Executive’s death, at a time or pursuant to a fixed schedule specified in this Agreement, a change of ownership or effective control, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, or upon an unforeseeable emergency (all as detailed in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(a)).

(d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any compensation or award shall be deemed to be vested or restrictions lapse, expire or terminate upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and such Change in Control does not constitute a “change in the ownership or effective control” or a “change in the ownership or a substantial portion of the assets” of the Corporation within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v), then even though such compensation or award may be deemed to be vested or restrictions lapse, expire or terminate upon the occurrence of the Change in Control or any other provision of this Agreement, payment will be made, to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, to the Executive on the earliest of: (i) the Executive’s “separation from service” with the Corporation (determined in accordance with Code Section 409A); provided, however, that if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), the payment date shall be the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Executive’s separation from service with the Company (except that during such six-(6-)month period the Executive may receive total payments from the Company that do not exceed the amount specified in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)), (ii) the date payment otherwise would have been made in the absence of any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary (provided such date is permissible under Code Section 409A), or (iii) the Executive’s death.

(e) Determining “Controlled Group”. In order to determine for purposes of Code Section 409A whether the Executive is employed by a member of the Company’s controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b) (or by a member of a group of trades or businesses under common control with the Company under Code Section 414(c)) and, therefore, whether any shares of common stock that are or have been purchased by or awarded under this Agreement to the Executive are shares of “service recipient” stock within the meaning of Code Section 409A:

(i) In applying Code Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) for purposes of determining the Company’s controlled group under Code Section 414(b), the language “at least 50 percent” is to be used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Code Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3);

- 23 -

(ii) In applying Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining trades or businesses under common control with the Corporation for purposes of Code Section 414(c), the language “at least 50 percent” is to be used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2; and

(iii) Notwithstanding the above, to the extent that the Company finds that legitimate business criteria exist within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(5)(E)(1), then the language “at least 50 percent” in clause (i) and (ii) above shall instead be “at least 20 percent.”

Article 15. Governing Law

To the extent not preempted by federal law, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Connecticut, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

Article 16. Indemnification

The Company hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Executive against and in respect to any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses, losses, and damages resulting from the Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties and obligations under the terms of this Agreement; provided however, the Executive acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or its shareholders, and with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, the Executive had no reasonable cause to believe Executive’s conduct was unlawful.
