5.1    Governing Law.

This Agreement and the General Release shall each be governed and interpreted in accordance with and enforced in all respects pursuant to the laws of the State of North Carolina, irrespective of the choice of law rules of that or any other jurisdiction that direct the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of North Carolina, which is the place of domicile of PGI.

5.2    Resolution of Disputes

Except with respect to disputes or claims under Article 3 or Section 4.1 of the Employment Agreement or Article IV of this Agreement (which may be pursued in any court of competent jurisdiction

as specified herein and with respect to which each party shall bear the cost of its own attorney’s fees and expenses except as otherwise required by applicable law), each party hereto agrees that the arbitration procedure set forth in Exhibit B to the Employment Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any claim or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to the rights and obligations acknowledged and agreed to in this Agreement and the employment of Hagen by Parent, PGI and their subsidiaries (including, without limitation, disputes and claims regarding employment discrimination, sexual harassment, termination and discharge), whether such Claim arose or the facts on which such Claim is based occurred prior to or after the execution and delivery of adoption of this Agreement. The parties agree that the result of any arbitration hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding on all of the parties. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit a party hereto from instituting litigation to enforce any Final Determination (as defined in Exhibit B to the Employment Agreement). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court or North Carolina state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and agrees that such court shall be the exclusive forum with respect to disputes and claims under this Agreement and for the enforcement of any Final Determination, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives (i) any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in such court or (ii) any argument, claim, defense or allegation that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process by registered mail or personal service and waives any objection on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or inconvenience of the forum.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or the remaining portion of a partially invalid provision, which shall remain in force, and the provision in question shall be modified by the court so as to be rendered enforceable.

Each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and the General Release and have been provided the opportunity to review this Agreement and the General Release and accordingly, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or the General Release. Instead, the language of all parts of this Agreement and the General Release shall be construed as a whole, and according to their fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either party.

This Agreement shall become effective immediately upon Hagen’s execution of this Agreement; provided, however, that the parties’ obligations hereunder shall not become effective until the eighth (8^th) day following the Retirement Date, so long as Hagen has not then revoked the General Release.

This Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under section 409A of the Code. For purposes of section 409A of the Code, all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of such term under section 409A of the Code), each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of section 409A, including, where applicable, the

requirement that: (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Hagen’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year; (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. In no event may the Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

10.1    This Agreement and the General Release together set forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and fully supersede any and all prior agreements or understandings, including the Employment Agreement (other than as expressly set forth herein, including with respect to the Employment Agreement to the extent described in Section 4.3 hereof) between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof.

10.2    This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Retirement Agreement effective as of the date first above written.
