     8. AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE.

          (a) Employee agrees:

               (i) To give the Employer thirty (30) days written advance notice of voluntary termination of employment with the Employer.

               (iv) In consideration of the benefits granted under the Group Insulated Wire Division Retention Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, the Employee agrees he will not, within two (2) years after leaving the employ of the Employer, engage or enter into employment by, or into self-employment or gainful occupation as, a Competing Business or act directly or indirectly as an advisor, consultant, sales agent or broker for a Competing Business. As used herein, “Competing Business” means (1) any business that is engaged in the manufacture, or sale to other wire suppliers or original equipment manufacturers, of bare or tin-plated copper wire or that otherwise competes with the Bare Wire Division of the Group, as such operations are currently conducted, and (2) in the event the Insulated Wire Division of the Group is not sold, any business that is engaged in the manufacture, or sale to other wire suppliers or original equipment manufacturers, of insulated copper wire products for the automotive or appliance end-user markets or that otherwise competes with the Insulated Wire Division of the Group, as such operations are currently conducted. The Employee acknowledges that the Employer does not have an adequate remedy at law in the event the Employee violates this provision and, therefore, the Employee agrees that, in such event, the Employer shall be entitled to equitable relief including, but not limited to, injunctive relief. The Employer acknowledges and agrees that this covenant is granted in substitution and replacement for the covenant contained in Section 8 of the Prior Agreement.

-5-

               (v) The terms of Paragraphs 8(a)(i)-8(a)(iv) shall not apply if the termination is pursuant to Section 3(c).

          (b) The Employer agrees:

               (i) That within fifteen (15) business days after receiving identification of the prospective employer, the nature of the employment or self-employment pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)(i) above, or any change therein pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)(iii) above, the Employer will advise Employee as to whether such employment constitutes a Competing Business as defined in Paragraph 8(a)(iv) above.

               (ii) In the event the Employer advises Employee that such employment constitutes a Competing Business and that the Employer is electing to enforce the provision of Paragraph 8(a)(iv), to forward a check in the amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the monthly salary of Employee (exclusive of extra compensation of any kind) as of the termination date of Employee’s employment. If notice is received pursuant to Paragraph 8(b) and the Employer advised Employee that such employment constitutes a Competing Business, the aforementioned monthly checks shall be forwarded for the remaining number of the aforesaid twenty-four (24) successive calendar months. Provided, however, that all payments due under this Paragraph 8(b)(ii) shall not be required during any periods that Employee is receiving payments under Section 4(a) or providing services to a Competing Business.

     9. WAIVER OF AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE. The Employer, based on the facts revealed to it by the Employee regarding the new employment and in its discretion upon written notification to Employee, may at any time waive or elect not to enforce the provisions of Paragraph 8(a)(iv), in which event the obligations of Paragraph 8(b)(ii) above shall thereafter not apply and Employee may be engaged by or enter into the employment of the identified Competing Business, but only such identified Competing Business.

     10. AGREEMENT NOT TO SOLICIT EMPLOYEES. Employee agrees that, for a period of one (1) year following the termination of the Employment Period, Employee shall not, on behalf of any business, solicit or induce, or in any manner attempt to solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any person employed by, or any agent of, Employer to terminate such employment or agency, as the case may be, with Employer. In the event of violation hereof, Employer may terminate any payments due to Employee hereunder.

     11. NO VIOLATION. Employee hereby represents and warrants to Employer that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the passage of time, or both, will not conflict with, result in a default, right to accelerate or loss of rights under any provision of any agreement or understanding to which the Employee or, to the best knowledge of Employee, any of Employee’s affiliates are a party or by which Employee, or to the best knowledge of Employee, Employee’s affiliates may be bound or affected.

     14. INVALID PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provisions shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement; the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance of this Agreement. In lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

This Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part only, by an instrument in writing setting forth the particulars of such amendment and duly executed by an officer of Employer expressly authorized by the CEO to do so and by Employee. The rights and benefits provided under this Agreement are cumulative of, and are in addition to, all of the other rights and benefits provided to the Employee under any agreement between such Employee and the other parties to this Agreement including, but not limited to, the aforesaid Retention Plan.

     16. WAIVER. No delay or omissions by any party hereto to exercise any right or power hereunder shall impair such right or power to be construed as a waiver thereof. A waiver by any of the parties herein of any of the covenants to be performed by any other party or any

-7-

breach thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant herein contained. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to any party at law, in equity or otherwise.

     17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
