CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

2. Effectiveness of Agreement; Term.

3. Severance Benefits.

4. Timing of Payments; Early Termination of Obligations.

5. Other Terminations. The parties agree that Executive will not be entitled to any severance payments (including the Salary Continuation and the Health Care Continuation) if, during the period commencing as of the Change in Control and ending twelve (12) months following a Change in Control: (A) Noble terminates her employment for Cause; (B) she resigns without Good Reason; or (C) she dies or terminates due to Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

6. Exclusive Remedy. The parties agree that, except as set forth in Section 3, or in the Employment Agreement, or as determined by the terms of any employee benefit plan in which the Executive was participating as of her termination of employment, or as otherwise required by law, Executive will not be entitled to receive any compensation or benefits after termination of her employment with Noble.

7. Best Pay Provision. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that the amount of payments payable to the Executive under this Agreement, together with any payments or benefits payable under any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement maintained by (or on behalf of) Noble, would constitute an

“excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), the payments under this Agreement shall be reduced (by the minimum possible amounts) until no amount payable to the Executive under this Agreement constitutes an “excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code); provided, however, that no such reduction shall be made if the net after-tax payment (after taking into account Federal, state, local, or other income and excise taxes) to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled without such reduction would be greater than the net after-tax payment (after taking into account Federal, state, local or other income and excise taxes) to the Executive resulting from the receipt of such payments with such reduction. If, as a result of subsequent events or conditions (including a subsequent payment or absence of a subsequent payment under this Agreement or other plans, programs, arrangements or agreements maintained by (or on behalf of) Noble), it is determined that payments under this Agreement have been reduced by more than the minimum amount required to prevent any such payments from constituting an “excess parachute payment,” then an additional payment shall be promptly made to the Executive in an amount equal to the additional amount that can be paid without causing any payment to constitute an “excess parachute payment.” All determinations required to be made under this Section 7, including whether a payment would result in an “excess parachute payment” and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a “Big Four” accounting firm selected by Noble. All determinations made by the “Big Four” accounting firm under this Section 7 shall be final and binding upon Noble and the Executive.

8. Confidential or Proprietary Information.

9. Inventions. All rights to discoveries, inventions, documents, improvements and innovations (including all data and records pertaining thereto) related to the business of Noble, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that Executive may discover, invent, improve, modify or originate during Executive’s employment, either alone or with others and whether or not during working hours or by the use of the facilities of Noble or the Noble Companies (“Inventions”), shall be the exclusive property of Noble and the Noble Companies. Executive shall promptly disclose all Inventions to Noble, shall execute at the request of Noble any

assignments or other documents Noble may deem reasonably necessary to protect or perfect its rights therein or the rights of any Noble Company therein, and shall assist Noble, upon reasonable request and at Noble’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing Noble’s rights therein and/or the rights of any Noble Company therein. Executive hereby appoints Noble as her attorney-in-fact to execute on her behalf any assignments or other documents reasonably deemed necessary by Noble to protect or perfect its rights or the rights of any Noble Company to any Inventions.

10. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

11. Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees, while she is employed by Noble and thereafter, to refrain from disparaging Noble and the Noble Companies, including any of their services, technologies or practices, or any of their directors, officers, agents, employees, former employees, representatives or stockholders, either orally or in writing; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall preclude the Executive from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal

process. Noble agrees, while Executive is employed by Noble and thereafter, to refrain from disparaging the Executive; provided, however, that Noble’s agreement to this non-disparagement clause shall be limited to official statements issued by Noble as an organization and statements of officers of Noble and members of the Board; provided, further, that nothing in the foregoing shall preclude Noble, its officers or members of the Board from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.

12. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 8 through 11 will cause irreparable damage to Noble and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 8 through 11, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, Noble will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Board shall have the authority to amend or terminate this Agreement, provided that such amendment or termination shall not become effective until one year after the Board provides Executive with written notice of such amendment or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, such amendment or termination shall not apply to any Change in Control occurring during the one-year period prior to the effectiveness of such amendment or termination.

(a) In the event Noble terminates the Executive without Cause, or the Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, during the period commencing as of the Change in Control and ending twelve (12) months following such Change in Control, and subject to Executive executing within thirty (30) days following such termination of employment, and not subsequently revoking, a general release of all claims arising under the Employment Agreement or otherwise related to Executive’s employment by Noble, which release shall be in a form to be provided by Noble, and subject to Executive abiding in all material respects by her obligations under this Agreement, Noble will provide Executive with the following payments:

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) any portion of the Salary Continuation or the Health Care Continuation which would otherwise have been paid to the Executive or reimbursed before the first normal payroll payment date falling on or after the fortieth (40th) day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment (the “First Payment Date”) shall be made on the First Payment Date; (2) the Executive shall not be entitled to any Salary Continuation unless the Executive’s termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h); and (3) each payment of Salary Continuation is intended to constitute a separate payment from each other payment of Salary Continuation for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

For the purposes of this Section 4(b), the Executive shall notify Noble of her acceptance of an offer of employment, and the terms and conditions of such offer, on the day of such acceptance. If the Executive does not so notify Noble, then Noble may recover from the Executive any Health Care Continuation paid after the date that the Executive accepted such an offer of employment. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive would violate her obligations under this Agreement by accepting such an offer of employment, or by performing any services pursuant to such an acceptance, then Noble will no longer be subject to any obligation to pay the Salary Continuation or the Health Care Continuation.

(a) Except in connection with the faithful performance of Executive’s duties as an employee of Noble or pursuant to Section 8(c) or 8(d), Executive agrees that she will not, at any time during her employment with Noble or thereafter, directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for her benefit, or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any Confidential or Proprietary Information of or relating to Noble or the Noble Companies, nor shall she deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such Confidential or Proprietary Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential or Proprietary Information” includes, without limitation: all trade secrets, intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks and copyrights and applications therefor, ideas, inventions, works, discoveries, improvements, information, documents, formulae, practices, processes, methods, developments, source code, modifications, technology, techniques, data, programs, other know-how or materials, owned, developed or possessed by Noble or the Noble Companies, whether in tangible or intangible form, information with respect to Noble’s or the Noble Companies’ operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, prospects and compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment.

Executive shall also return any materials or information received in connection with her employment from clients, prospects or vendors of Noble or the Noble Companies.

(c) Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process; provided, however, that Executive shall give Noble the earliest possible notice thereof, and shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to Noble and its counsel the documents and other information sought. Executive shall assist such counsel at Noble’s expense in resisting or otherwise responding to such subpoena or process.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive from: (1) disclosing information and documents when required by law, subpoena or court order (subject to the requirements of Section 8(c) above); (2) disclosing information and documents to her attorney or tax adviser for the purpose of securing legal or tax advice; (3) disclosing the post-employment restrictions in this Agreement in confidence to any potential new employer; or (4) retaining, at any time, her personal correspondence, personal rolodex and documents related to her own personal benefits, entitlements and obligations.

(a) While Executive is employed by Noble, and for a period of six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment for whatever reason, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person or entity, manage, participate in, work for, consult with, render services for, or take an interest in (as an owner, stockholder, partner or lender) any Competitor in an area of business in which Competitor directly competes or seeks to directly compete with Noble or the Noble Companies.

(b) While the Executive is employed by Noble, and for a period of twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination of employment for whatever reason, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person or entity: (1) divert or attempt to divert from Noble any business with any customer, partner or other person with which Noble had any business contact or association while Executive was employed by Noble; (2) induce or attempt to induce any customer, partner or other person with which Noble had any business contact or association to reduce or refrain from doing business with Noble or the Noble Companies; (3) induce or attempt to induce, or cause, other than by means of any general solicitation by advertisement or otherwise, any employee or consultant of Noble to terminate his or her employment or relationship with Noble; or (4) recruit or hire, other than by means of any general solicitation by advertisement or otherwise, any person who was an employee or consultant of Noble after his or her employment or relationship with Noble has terminated.

(a) Interaction with Employment Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed as, contradicting, superseding or modifying the Employment Agreement, except that this Agreement, to the extent that it is in effect, and not the Employment Agreement, shall govern if the Executive incurs a termination of employment during the period commencing as of the Change in Control and ending twelve (12) months following such Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive receives any severance payments (including the Salary Continuation and the Health Care Continuation) pursuant to this Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any severance payments under the Employment Agreement.

(b) Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when (1) delivered personally, (2) delivered by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (3) delivered by overnight courier (provided that a written acknowledgment of receipt is obtained by the overnight courier) to the party concerned at the address indicated below or to such changed address as such party may subsequently give such notice of:

(c) Successors and Binding Agreement.

(d) Complete and Final Agreement. Executive agrees that this Agreement and the Employment Agreement reflect the complete agreement between Noble and Executive, and that there are no written or oral understandings, promises or agreements related to this Agreement except those contained herein. This Agreement and the Employment Agreement constitute the complete and final agreement by and between the parties, and supersede any and all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, representations, understandings, and agreements between the parties relating to the matters herein. The parties further intend that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement and the Employment Agreement.

(e) Construction / Counsel. This Agreement shall be deemed drafted equally by both the parties. Its language shall be construed as a whole and according to its fair meaning, with no presumption that any language shall be construed against any party. Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience and are not part of this Agreement and shall not be used in construing it. Executive acknowledges that

she has had adequate opportunity to consult with legal or other counsel of her choosing prior to execution of this Agreement.

(f) Governing Law. Any dispute, controversy, or claim of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement or breach thereof shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict of law principles.

(g) Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Further, the parties agree that any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or restriction shall be deemed modified so that it shall be enforced to the greatest extent permissible under law. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction determines any provision or restriction herein to be overly broad, or unenforceable, such court is hereby empowered and authorized to limit such provisions or restrictions so that it is enforceable for the longest duration of time, within the largest geographical area and with the broadest scope, as permitted by law.

(h) Survival of Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties’ post-termination obligations and the parties’ other respective rights, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 8 through 11 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever.

(i) Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and Noble. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

(j) Mediation and Arbitration. Any dispute that may arise between Noble and Executive in reference to this Agreement, or the interpretation, application or construction thereof, and any matter, without limitation, arising out of Executive’s employment with Noble, shall be submitted to mediation using a mediator or mediators and procedures that are mutually acceptable to Executive and Noble. If mediation is not successful, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration, conducted before an arbitrator in Middlesex County, Connecticut in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that Noble shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Sections 8 through 11 of the Agreement, and Executive hereby consents that such

restraining order or injunction may be granted without requiring Noble to post a bond. Only individuals who are on the AAA register of arbitrators may be selected as an arbitrator. Within twenty (20) days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator(s) shall prepare written findings of fact and conclusions of law. It is mutually agreed that the written decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be valid, binding, final and non-appealable; provided however, that the parties agree that the arbitrator shall not be empowered to award punitive damages against any party. If for any reason this mediation and arbitration clause becomes not applicable, then each party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably waives all right to a trial by jury as to any issue relating hereto in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other matter involving the parties hereto.
