2. Severance Payments.

2.1. Change in Control Severance. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason during the two-year period following a Change in Control (a “CIC Termination”), and upon execution of a general release in favor of the Company and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) and expiration of any revocation period applicable to the release, the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 2.1 and in Section 2.3. In addition, a CIC Termination shall result if the Executive’s employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control and (a) the Executive reasonably demonstrates that the Executive’s employment was terminated without Cause prior to a Change in Control (1) at the request of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which will constitute a Change in Control (or who has taken other steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control) or (2) otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, or (b) the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control and the Executive reasonably demonstrates that the circumstance(s) or event(s) which constitute such Good Reason occurred (1) at the request of such Person or (2) otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control.

2.1.1. A payment equal to three times the sum of (a) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary and (b) the Executive’s target bonus amount for the year in which any such termination occurs. The payment shall be made in a single lump sum on the date that is six months following the Executive’s CIC Termination.

2.1.2. A lump sum payment equal to the Executive’s target bonus payment under the Company’s management incentive plan times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed in the year of the Executive’s CIC Termination and the denominator of which is 365. Such payment shall be made on the date which is six months after the Executive’s CIC Termination.

2.2. Non-Change in Control Severance. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason at any time other than those prescribed in Section 2.1 (a “Non-CIC Termination”), and upon execution of a Release and expiration of any revocation period applicable to the Release, the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 2.2 and in Section 2.3.

2.2.1. An amount equal to two times the Executive’s Annual Base Salary. This amount shall be paid 50% on the date that is six months following the Executive’s Non-CIC Termination, and the remaining 50% shall be paid in six substantially equal monthly installments.

3

2.2.2. A lump sum payment equal to the Executive’s target bonus payment under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed in the year of the Executive’s Non-CIC Termination and the denominator of which is 365. Such payment shall be made on the date which is six months after the Executive’s Non-CIC Termination.

2.3. Additional Severance. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 2.1 and 2.2, upon a CIC Termination or Non-CIC Termination, the following additional provisions shall apply:

2.3.1. Group Medical Coverage. For a thirty-six (36) month period after the Executive’s CIC Termination or a twenty-four (24) month period after the Executive’s Non-CIC Termination, as applicable, Executive may elect to continue, under the terms prevailing from time to time, group medical and dental coverage for himself and his covered dependents. If Executive elects such coverage, Executive’s share of any group medical and dental premiums will be at the then-prevailing active employee rate. Failure to pay the premium will result in loss of the coverage. Executive agrees and understands that his rights under Code Section 4980B which sets forth certain COBRA continuation coverage requirements will run concurrently with the period of coverage under this Section 2.3.1. Following the period of coverage under this Section 2.3.1, Executive may continue medical and dental coverage for any remaining COBRA period only by electing COBRA coverage and paying the applicable premiums under COBRA. Medical benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall be reduced to the extent the Executive obtains comparable coverage under another employer’s plan during the 36-month or 24-month period, as applicable following the Executive’s termination. The Executive agrees to immediately report such other coverages to the Company.

2.3.2. Group Life Insurance Coverage. For a thirty-six twelve (36) month period after the Executive’s CIC Termination or a twenty-four (24) month period after the Executive’s Non-CIC Termination, as applicable, the Company shall continue Executive’s basic life insurance coverage. Executive will be entitled to the life insurance conversion rights required by applicable law.

2.3.3. Outplacement. The Executive shall be entitled to the outplacement assistance set forth in the Company’s executive-level corporate outplacement program.

2.3.4. Vacation. Executive will receive payment for any granted and unused vacation upon termination in accordance with the Company’s policy and applicable law.

2.3.5. Other Benefits. Any supplemental, spouse or child life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment and disability insurance will terminate on the Executive’s date of termination in accordance with the terms of the applicable welfare benefit plan. Qualified retirement plan and savings plan benefits will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan.

4

2.3.6. Equity Compensation; Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. All awards of equity compensation and any non-qualified deferred compensation earned by the Executive shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable equity compensation plan, equity award agreement and/or the applicable non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

3. Special Tax Reimbursement.

3.1. If the Executive is liable for the payment of any excise tax (the “Basic Excise Tax”) pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor or like provision, with respect to any payment or property transfers received or to be received under this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation the acceleration of vesting of any equity compensation awarded to the Executive, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount (the “Special Tax Reimbursement”) which, after payment to the Executive (or on the Executive’s behalf) of any federal, state and local income and employment taxes, including, without limitation, any further excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, with respect to or resulting from the Special Tax Reimbursement, equals the net amount of the Basic Excise Tax. The Special Tax Reimbursement shall be paid as soon as practicable after the amount is determined and reviewed for accuracy by the Company’s certified public accountants.

4. Restrictive Covenants.

4.1. Non-Competition. During the Executive’s employment and if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, for a period of three years following a CIC Termination and for a period of two years following a Voluntary Termination (as defined below), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, within or with respect to the United States of America engage, in any business or activity or render any services or provide any advice to any Competing Entity (as defined below), without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent, representative, stockholder, director or in any other capacity, if on the effective date of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, such Competing Entity develops, manufactures, sells or distributes any product or products that (a) compete with any product or products sold by the Company or any Affiliate thereof (or to the Executive’s knowledge are planned for sale or distribution by the Company or its Affiliates within six (6) months following the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company) for which the Executive had primary responsibility for any aspect of such product(s) or where the Executive would perform substantially similar employment functions to those performed at the Company, and (b) represent, individually or in the aggregate, twenty (20%) percent or more of such Competing Entity’s annual gross revenues; provided, however, that the Executive’s ownership of not more than 2% of the stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be a violation of this Section 4.1. As used herein, “Competing Entity” means any business, person or entity, and any Affiliates thereof, which develops, manufactures, sells and/or distributes products that are competitive with any products developed, manufactured, sold and/or distributed by the Company and any of its Affiliates, and “Voluntary Termination” means the Executive’s termination of his employment with the Company for any reason other than for Good Reason, death or disability (as defined under the Company’s Long Term Disability or other applicable plan, program or policy). The Executive acknowledges and agrees that his skills are such that he can be gainfully employed in noncompetitive employment and that

5

the agreement not to compete will in no way prevent him from earning a living. The Executive understands and agrees that the rights and obligations set forth in this Section 4.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.2. Non-Solicitation. If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates due to a CIC Termination, a Non-CIC Termination, or a Voluntary Termination, for a period of three years following a CIC Termination and two years following a Non-CIC Termination or Voluntary Termination, the Executive shall not (except on the Company’s behalf), directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity, (A) solicit or service the business of any of the Company’s clients, any of the Company’s former clients which were clients within twelve months prior to the termination of his employment or any of the prospective clients which were being actively solicited by the Company at the time of the termination of his employment or (B) attempt to cause or induce any employee of the Company to leave the Company.

4.3. Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees to refrain from making any statements or comments of a defamatory or disparaging nature to any third party regarding the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates, products or services.

4.4. Company Property; Confidentiality. Upon the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, the Executive shall return to the Company all documents, manuals, computers, computer programs, diskettes, customer lists, notebooks, reports and other written or graphic materials, including all copies thereof, relating in any way to the Company’s business and prepared by the Executive or obtained by the Executive from the Company, its Affiliates, customers or its suppliers during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive agrees to comply with the Company’s confidentiality and non-disclosure policies and agreements with the Company.

4.5. Acknowledgements. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 4: (a) are critical and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests (including, without limitation, the protection of its confidential or proprietary information, its good will, and its relationship with its customers, clients, employees, and consultants); (b) are reasonably drawn to this end with respect to duration, scope and otherwise; (c) are not unduly burdensome or injurious to the public interest; and (d) are supported by adequate consideration.

4.6. Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and would be irreparably harmed, if the Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4. The Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to equitable and/or injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of such Sections, and to specific performance of each of the terms of such Section in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that the Company may have. The Executive further agrees that the Executive shall not, in any equity proceeding relating to the enforcement of the terms of such Sections, raise the defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restricted periods set forth above in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be tolled during any period in which the Executive is in violation of such Section(s) so that the Company is provided with the full benefit of the restricted period.

6

4.7. Special Severability. The terms and provisions of this Article 4 are intended to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the validity nor the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall thereby be affected. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the potential restrictions on the Executive’s future employment imposed by this Article 4 be reasonable in both duration and geographic scope and in all other respects. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction shall find any provisions of this Article 4 unreasonable in duration or geographic scope or otherwise, the Executive and the Company agree that the restrictions and prohibitions contained herein shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law in such jurisdiction.

5. Entire Agreement; Complete Obligation. Except as otherwise specified in the last sentence of this Section 5, this Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter herein. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto. Following an Executive’s CIC Termination or Non-CIC Termination, the Executive shall only be entitled to the payments and benefits provided in this Agreement and he shall not be entitled to any other payments or benefits except those required by applicable law or the terms of any employee benefit plan. With respect to a CIC Termination, Non-CIC Termination or Voluntary Termination (but only with respect to Article 4 in the case of a Voluntary Termination), this Agreement supersedes and replaces only the corresponding severance, non-competition and/or termination provisions contained in any employment contract or other agreement that the Executive has entered into with the Company prior to the date hereof, and all remaining provisions of any such agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

6. Notice of Termination.

6.1.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company under the provision so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, any purported termination not effected in accordance with this Section 6 shall not be considered effective.

6.2. A Notice of Termination for Cause is required to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board, which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (which meeting may be a regular meeting of the Board where prior notice of consideration of such termination is given to members of the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, that the Executive engaged in conduct set forth in the definition of Cause herein and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

7

6.3. A Notice of Termination by the Executive for “Good Reason” is required to set forth the provision of this Agreement that the Executive believes constitutes “Good Reason” and specifies the particulars thereof in detail. The Company shall have 30 days after the Notice of Termination is provided to remedy the circumstances that allegedly give rise to “Good Reason.” If the Company rectifies the circumstances that have given rise to “Good Reason,” within 30 days, the Executive’s Notice of Termination shall not be effective and shall be null and void from its inception.

7.2. Binding Agreement. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior express written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive.
