All terms, conditions and provisions of the Related Agreements shall continue to apply and be in full force and effect as though set forth in full in their entirety.

* By way of example only, assume that you are terminated without Cause on July 1, 2006.

The CEO plan further provides that you can also receive a maximum of 12,000 shares of restricted stock in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008 if you meet three-year performance goals set by the Board in each of the three-year periods ended December 2006, 2007 and 2008. For purposes of your benefits in this paragraph, you would be treated as having earned 15,000 restricted shares for 2006 (for meeting 2006 goals) and 36,000 restricted shares (for meeting the 2006, 2007 and 2008 goals) regardless of whether such goals were met or could not be reasonably ascertained. All of such shares would be treated as completely vested and not subject to any additional holding periods.

c. any other ordinary course benefits to which you were entitled as an employee of TNL and/or pursuant to the Letter Agreement which were then due but unpaid at the date of termination, such as reimbursement for expenses not yet paid and incurred in accordance with TNL’s policy; and

d. the amount set forth in subsections 8(a) and (b) of the Letter Agreement, except that (1) such amount shall not be payable if termination occurs at any time after a Change in Control, and (2) if such termination occurs at any time after August 21, 2008, you will be entitled to one year’s base salary (instead of two) and six months of bonus (commensurate with those paid to other executives) (instead of one year); and

e. health and life insurance benefits on your behalf as you were receiving them on the date of termination along with your health club membership, in each case for the applicable time period corresponding to the salary severance period (that is, one year or two years) provided in subsection d(2) above.

   From and after December 31, 2004, you will participate in TNL’s Restricted Stock Plan (or any substitute therefor) in accordance with its terms. Your awards will be determined by the Board of Directors in the same fashion as awards are determined for other participants.

   You shall devote your full working time, energy, skill and best efforts to the performance of your duties set forth in the Letter Agreement, in a manner which will faithfully and diligently further the business and interests of TNL and its subsidiaries, and shall not be employed by, or participate or engage in, or be a part of in any manner, the management or operation of any other business enterprise without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.

8. Confidentiality.

   You acknowledge a duty of confidentiality owed to TNL and shall not, at any time during or after your employment by TNL, retain in writing, use, divulge, furnish, or make accessible to anyone, without the express authorization of the Board, any trade secret, private or confidential information or knowledge of TNL or any of its subsidiaries obtained or acquired while so employed. All computer software, customer lists, price lists, contract forms, catalogs, books, records, and files and know-how acquired while an employee of TNL, are acknowledged to be the property of TNL and shall not be duplicated, removed from TNL’s possession, or made use of other than in pursuit of TNL’s business; and, upon termination of employment for any reason, you shall promptly deliver to TNL, without further demand, all copies thereof which are then in your possession or control.

9. Inventions and Improvements.

   During the term of your employment, you shall promptly communicate to TNL all ideas, discoveries and inventions which are or may be useful to TNL or its business. You acknowledge that all ideas, discoveries, inventions, and improvements which are made, conceived, or reduced to practice by you and every item of knowledge relating to TNL’s business interests (including potential business interests) gained by

July 25, 2006

Page 10 of 13

you during your employment are the property of TNL, and you irrevocably assign all such ideas, discoveries, inventions, improvements, and knowledge to TNL for its sole use and benefit, without additional compensation. The provisions of this Section shall apply whether such ideas, discoveries, inventions, improvements or knowledge are conceived, made or gained by you alone or with others, whether during or after usual working hours, whether on or off the job, whether applicable to matters directly or indirectly related to TNL’s business interests (including potential business interests), and whether or not within the specific realm of your duties. It shall be conclusively presumed that ideas, inventions, and improvements relating to TNL’s business interests or potential business interests conceived during the six month period following termination of employment are, for the purposes of this Agreement, conceived prior to termination of employment. You shall, upon request of TNL, at any time during or after your employment with TNL, sign all instruments and documents requested by TNL and otherwise cooperate with TNL to protect its right to such ideas, discoveries, inventions, improvements, and knowledge, including applying for, obtaining, and enforcing patents and copyrights thereon in any and all countries.

10. Noncompetition.

  During the term of your employment and for two (2) years after any termination of employment, you shall not directly or indirectly:

(i) engage, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, in the manufacture, assembly, design, distribution or marketing of any product or equipment substan­tially similar to or in compe­ti­tion with any product or equip­ment which at any time during the term of such employment or the immediately preceding twelve month period has been manufactured, sold or distributed by TNL or any subsidiary or any product or equipment which TNL or any subsidiary was developing during such period for future manufacture, sale or distribution;

(ii) be or become a stockholder, partner, owner, officer, director or employee or agent of, or a consultant to or give financial or other assistance to, any person or entity considering engaging in any such activities or so engaged;

(iii) seek in competition with the business of TNL to procure orders from or do business with any customer of TNL;

(iv) solicit, or contact with a view to the engagement or employ­ment by, any person or entity of any person who is an employee of TNL;

July 25, 2006

Page 11 of 13

(v) seek to contract with or engage (in such a way as to adversely affect or interfere with the business of TNL) any person or entity who has been contracted with or engaged to manufacture, assemble, supply or deliver products, goods, materials or services to TNL; or

engage in or participate in any effort or act to induce any of the customers, associates, consultants, or employees of TNL or any of its affiliates to take any action which might be disadvantageous to TNL or any of its affiliates; except that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit you from owning, as a passive investor, in the aggregate not more than 5% of the outstanding publicly traded stock of any corporation so engaged. The duration of your covenants set forth in this Section shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days, if any, during which you are in violation of the provisions contained in this Agreement.

11. Certain Change in Control Payment Timing Issues.

  If a Change in Control occurs and you are entitled to payment pursuant to Section 8 of the Letter Agreement for that reason, then (a) if the Change in Control event is one which is described in Sec. 409A, all benefits due you shall be paid to you immediately upon the Change in Control and (b) if the Change in Control event is not one which is described in Sec. 409A, the benefits due to you shall be paid on the date which is six months after the termination of your employment.

12.  Injunctive and Other Relief.

   A. You acknowledge that the covenants contained in this Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the consideration paid under this Agreement, and that damages alone shall not be an adequate remedy for any breach by you of such covenants, and accordingly expressly agree that, in addition to any other remedies which TNL may have, TNL shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for any breach or threat­ened breach of any such covenants by you. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or delay TNL from seeking, in any court of competent jurisdiction, specific perform­ance or other equitable remedies in the event of any breach or intended breach by you of any of your obligations under this Agreement.

   B. Notwithstanding the equitable relief avail­able to TNL, you, in the event of a breach of your covenants contained in Sections 7, 8 and

July 25, 2006

Page 12 of 13

9 of this Agreement, understand that the uncertainties and delays inherent in the legal process would result in a continuing breach for some period of time, and therefore, continuing injury to TNL until and unless TNL can obtain such equitable relief. Therefore, in addition to such equitable relief, TNL shall be entitled to monetary damages for any such period of breach until the termination of such breach, in an amount deemed reasonable to cover all actual and consequential losses, plus all monies received by you as a result of said breach and all costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by TNL in enforcing this Agreement. If you should use or reveal to any other person or entity any confidential information, this will be considered a continuing violation on a daily basis for so long a period of time as such confidential information is made use of by you or any such other person or entity.

13. Miscellaneous Provisions

   A. Neither you nor TNL will assign the Letter Agreement without the prior written consent of the other. The Letter Agreement will bind any successors to TNL by merger or stock purchase.

   B. Notices shall be as set forth in the Related Agreements.

   C. The Related Agreements are the entire agreement between us regarding the subject matter to which it relates and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written. They cannot be amended, changed or modified except in a writing signed by both parties.

   D. The Letter Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with Pennsylvania law.

   E. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision or part of any provision of the Letter Agreement shall not affect the other provisions or parts of the Letter Agreement. If any provision of the Letter Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforce­able by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be interpreted to provide protection as nearly equiva­lent to that found to be invalid or unenforceable and if any such provision shall be so determined to be invalid or unen­forceable by rea­son of the duration or geographical scope of the covenants contained in this Agreement, such duration or geographical scope,

July 25, 2006

Page 13 of 13

or both, shall be considered to be reduced to a duration or geographical scope to the extent necessary to cure such invalidity.

If the foregoing meets with your approval, please sign where indicated below and return a signed copy to me.
