                                                                                                4.5                               Other Than for Cause by Company.  Company may terminate Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time without Cause by giving written Notice of Termination to Employee. If Company terminates Employee’s employment without Cause, Company shall have the obligations set forth in this Paragraph 4.5 for twenty-four (24) months following such termination (the “Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations in this Paragraph shall not apply unless Employee executes a general release in favor of Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries.  During the Period, Company shall continue to pay to Employee a monthly amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12^th) of the annual Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination without Cause, which amount shall be separation pay and may be on regular payroll dates.   If, upon termination without Cause, Employee elects continued group medical coverage for himself and his eligible dependents pursuant to COBRA, Company shall pay for such continued coverage for the lesser of the COBRA continuation period or the duration of the Period, with the same deductible and out-of-pocket expenses as apply to active employees (and their eligible dependents) from time to time during the COBRA continuation coverage period, and (2) monthly reimburse Employee for the cost of premiums for health plan benefits comparable to such benefit plans provided to Employee at the time of termination of active employment for the period beginning on the expiration of COBRA continuation coverage and ending on the last day of the Period.  Upon termination without Cause, if Employee had participated in DST’s officer life insurance program, Company shall monthly reimburse Employee for the cost of premiums for comparable life insurance benefits ending on the last day of the Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any life, health or other reimbursement obligation set forth in this subparagraph shall lapse as of the date comparable coverage in connection with other employment is made available to Employee regardless of whether Employee participates in such alternate coverage program.  The Company shall reimburse Employee for any state and local taxes due with respect to amounts paid hereunder for COBRA continuation coverage or for the cost of health or life insurance. The terms and conditions of this subparagraph shall continue until the end of the Period notwithstanding the death or disability of Employee during the Period.  For avoidance of doubt, neither termination of employment for disability nor assignment or deemed assignment of this Agreement to a subsidiary or affiliate of Company or DST shall be treated as a termination without cause.   Employee shall receive, on the payment due date as provided in the DST Annual Incentive Program, any Annual Incentive earned for the performance year in which Employee’s employment terminated; provided, however, that (i) such award shall be prorated to reflect only the portion of such performance year that precedes Employee’s termination, (ii) the portion of the prorated award that would otherwise have been deferred under the DST Annual Incentive Program shall be paid in cash and shall not be deferred, and (iii) the amount payable shall be separation pay and may be paid in installments on regular payroll dates over the Period.  Notwithstanding the receipt during the Period of separation pay as provided herein and the benefits

4

that are generally available to executive employees of DST during the Period, (a) Employee shall not be entitled to accrue or receive such benefits during the Period except as set forth herein, and (b) any contributions and benefits under applicable plans with respect to the year of termination shall be based solely upon compensation paid to Employee for periods prior to termination.  In the year of termination, Employee shall be entitled to participate in any qualified plan made available to Company employees only if the Employee meets all requirements of such plans for participation in such year.

                                                                                                4.6                               Empl oyee’s Duties Upon Termination.  Upon termination of this Agreement by Company or Employee for any reason, Employee shall immediately return to Company all Proprietary Information (as defined in Paragraph 6) which exists in tangible form and shall sign such written resignations from all positions as an officer, director or member of any committee or board of Company, DST International, DST or DST subsidiary or affiliate as may be requested by Company, DST International, DST or DST subsidiary or affiliate and such other documents and papers relating to Employee’s employment, benefits and benefit plans as any such entity  may reasonably request.

(c)                                  a Reorganization Transaction is consummated, other than a Reorganization Transaction which results in the Voting Securities of DST outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least sixty percent (60%) of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of such surviving entity outstanding immediately after the Reorganization Transaction, if the voting rights of each Voting Security relative to the other Voting Securities were not altered in the Reorganization Transaction; or

                                                                                                                                                5.11.3              Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Paragraph 5, if the aggregate After-Tax Amount (as defined below) of the Potential Parachute Payments and Gross-Up Payment that, but for this limitation, would be payable to Employee, does not exceed 120% of After-Tax Floor Amount (as defined below), then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Employee and the aggregate amount of Potential Parachute Payments payable to Employee shall be reduced (but not below the Floor Amount) to the largest amount which would both (a) not cause any Excise Tax to be payable by Employee and (b) not cause any Potential Parachute Payments to become nondeductible by Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision).  For purposes of the preceding sentence, Employee shall be deemed to be subject to the highest effective after-tax marginal rate of taxes.

                                                For purposes of this Agreement:

                                                                                                                                                0;                                                (a)                                 “After-Tax Amount” means the portion of a specified amount that would remain after payment of all taxes paid or payable by Employee in respect of such specified amount; and

                                                                                                                                                   
60;                                            (b)                                 “Floor Amount” means the greatest pre-tax amount of Potential Parachute Payments that could be paid to Employee without causing Employee to become liable for any Excise Taxes in connection therewith; and

                                                                                                                                                   
60;                                            (c)                                  “After-Tax Floor Amount” means the After-Tax Amount of the Floor Amount.

                                                                                                                                                5.11.4              If for any reason tax counsel mutually agreeable to Company and Employee later determine that the amount of Excise Taxes payable by Employee is greater than the amount initially determined pursuant to the above provisions of this Paragraph 5.11, then Company shall, subject to Paragraphs 5.11.5 and 5.11.6, pay Employee, within thirty (30) days of such determination, or pay to the IRS as required by applicable law, an amount (which shall also be deemed a Gross-Up Payment) equal to the product of (a) the sum of (i) such additional Excise Taxes and (ii) any interest, penalties, expenses or other costs incurred by Employee as a result of having taken a position in accordance with a determination made pursuant to Paragraph 5.11.5 multiplied by (b) the Gross-Up Multiple.

                                                                                                                                                5.11.5              Employee shall immediately notify Company in writing (an “Employee’s Notice”) of any claim by the IRS or other taxing authority (an “IRS Claim”) that, if successful, would require the payment by Employee of Excise Taxes in respect of Potential Parachute Payments in an amount in excess of the amount of such Excise Taxes determined in accordance with Paragraph 5.11.  Employee’s Notice shall fully inform Company of all particulars of the IRS Claim and the date on which such IRS Claim is due to be paid.

                                                                                                Company shall direct the Employee as to whether to pay all or part of the IRS Claim or to contest the IRS Claim or to pursue a claim for a refund (a “Refund Claim”) of all or any portion of such Excise Taxes, other taxes, interest or penalties as may be specified by Company in a written notice to Employee.  If Company directs Employee to pay all or part of the IRS Claim, the amount of such payment

10

shall also be deemed a Gross-Up Payment, which Company shall pay to the Employee or the IRS, as appropriate.  The Employee shall cooperate fully with Company in good faith to contest such IRS Claim or pursue such Refund Claim (including appeals) and shall permit DST to participate in any proceedings relating to such IRS Claim or Refund Claim.

                                                                                                Company shall control all proceedings in connection with such IRS Claim or Refund Claim (as applicable) and in its discretion may cause Employee to pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority.

                                                                                                Company shall pay directly all legal, accounting and other costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred by Company or Employee in connection with any IRS Claim or Refund Claim, as applicable, and shall indemnify Employee, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including related interest and penalties, imposed as a result of such payment of costs or expenses.

                                                                                                                                                5.11.6              If Employee receives any refund with respect to Excise Taxes, Employee shall (subject to Company’s complying with any applicable requirements of Paragraph 5.11.5) promptly pay Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto).  Any contest of a denial of refund shall be controlled by Paragraph 5.11.5.

                                                6.                                      NON-DISCLOSURE, INVENTION OWNERSHIP, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-COMPETITION.  Only for purposes of this Paragraph 6, “Company” shall mean Company, DST International, DST and their respective affiliates, including without limitation joint ventures.

                                                                                                6.7                               Reme dies.  Employee agrees that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 6 are necessary for protection of the business of Company and that unauthorized disclosure of any of the Proprietary Information or other violation of this Paragraph 6 would cause irreparable injury to Company not adequately remediable in damages.  Employee agrees that any breach of his obligations under this Paragraph 6 shall, in addition to any other relief to which Company may be entitled, entitle Company to temporary, preliminary and final injunctive relief against further breach of such obligations, without the posting of any bond. The existence of any claim or cause of action on the part of Employee against Company, its successors or assigns, whether arising an agreement between Employee and Company or otherwise, shall in no way constitute a defense to the enforcement of these provisions. The Restrictive Period shall be extended in an amount which equals the time period during which Employee is in violation of any of the provisions hereof.

                                                7.                                      CODE SECTION 409A.  In the event any payment or provision of a benefit hereunder would trigger excise tax, interest or other penalties under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“409A Penalties”) (a) if postponement of such payment or provision would avoid 409A Penalties, such payment or provision will be postponed and made the earliest date it can be made without triggering 409A Penalties, and (b) if postponement of such payment or provision would not avoid 409A Penalties, the parties agree to amend the Agreement to provide an alternative benefit of substantially equivalent value that would not be subject to 409A Penalties.

The failure of either party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect such party’s right at a later time to enforce such provision. No consent or waiver by either party to any default or to any breach of a condition or term in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to any other breach or default.

                                                15.                               INVALIDITY OF PORTION OF AGREEMENT.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to either party shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the law.
