e)              Code Section 280G.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and the Executive to the contrary, in the event that any payment that is either received by the Executive or paid by the Company on the Executive’s behalf or any property, or any other benefit provided to the Executive under this Agreement or under any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company or any other person whose payments or benefits are treated as contingent on a change of ownership or control of the Company (or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company) or any person affiliated with the Company or such person (but only if such payment or other benefit is in connection with the Executive’s employment by the Company) (collectively the “Company Payments”), will be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority), then the Executive will be entitled to receive either (i) the full amount of the Company Payments, or (ii) a portion of the Company Payments having a value equal to $1 less than three (3) times the Executive’s “base amount” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(3)(A) of the Code), whichever of clauses (i) and (ii), after taking into account applicable federal, state, and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest portion of the Company Payments.  Any determination required under this Section 1(e) shall be made in writing by Golden Parachute Tax Solutions, LLC, or such other independent public accountant as may be selected by the Executive in the Executive’s sole discretion, whose determination shall, subject to review and comment by the Company, be conclusive and binding for all purposes upon the Company and the Executive.  For purposes of making any calculation required by this Section 1(e), such accountant may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good-faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.  If there is a reduction of the Company Payments pursuant to this Section 1(e), such reduction shall occur in the following order (with Company Payments in each category being first reduced by the portion of such Company Payments that is not deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and then by the portion of such Company Payments that is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (and, in each case, beginning with the Company Payments in each category scheduled to be made latest in time (and pro rata with respect to Company Payments in each category scheduled

3.                                      Noncompetition.

a)             Noncompetition. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive performs services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and that the Executive’s

3

performance of such services to a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company and its affiliates.  Accordingly, during the Executive’s employment and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not directly engage in any employment, consulting or other activity for, or on behalf of, a Competitive Business, in any locale of any country in which the Company or its subsidiaries conduct business.  For purposes of this Section 3, “Competitive Business” shall mean any business engaged in the development, manufacture or sale of commercial and business jet aircraft cabin interior products, systems or equipment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than one percent (1%) of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation engaged in a Competitive Business, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.  In addition, the provisions of this Section 3(a) shall not be violated by the Executive commencing employment with a subsidiary, division or unit of any entity that engages in a Competitive Business so long as the Executive and such subsidiary, division or unit do not engage in a Competitive Business.

b)             Reformation.  If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 3(a) is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.

c)              Equitable Relief and Other Remedies.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach of any of the provisions of Section 3(a) would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

4.                                      General.

a)             Survival of Provisions.  The obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

c)              Code Section 409A Compliance.  Although the Company does not guarantee the tax treatment of any payment hereunder, the intent of the parties is that payments under this Agreement be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum

4

extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

e)              Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision never existed.

f)               Non-Assignment; Successors.  This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto.  Except as provided in this Section 4(f), no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the advanced written consent of the other parties hereto.  Any purported assignment or delegation by the Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect.  The Company may assign this Agreement to a person or entity that is an affiliate of the Company or to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or

5

assets of the Company, which assumes in writing, or by operation of law, the obligations of the Company hereunder.

g)              Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

h)             No Obligation; Company Discretion.  No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to impose an obligation on the Company to accept, agree to or otherwise consummate the Transaction.  The decision to consummate the Transaction, and all terms and conditions of such transaction, including the amount, timing and form of consideration to be provided in connection therewith, shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Company.

i)                 Entire Agreement; Amendment.  Except as specifically contemplated herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement by the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein is intended to supersede any employment agreement, or any incentive, equity, compensation or benefit arrangement between the Executive and the Company; provided, however, that to the extent that there is any conflict between any such agreement or arrangement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Executive and the Company.
