          (ii) during the 2-year period following Executive’s employment termination, continue to participate in the Company’s health and welfare programs applicable to, and (to the extent permissible under applicable law) on the same terms as, other senior executives of the Company at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment; provided, however that such benefits shall cease on the date that Executive becomes eligible for similar benefits from a new employer and Executive shall notify the Company in writing of such benefits eligibility within 30 days following the effective date of Executive’s benefits eligibility from the new employer; and provided further, that if Executive’s participation in any such program of the Company could result in adverse or unintended tax consequences to any participant in such

     (c) Non-competition and Non-solicitation. In the event of voluntary termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period by the Executive without Good Reason (i) the Executive shall not engage in Competition (as defined below) during the one-year period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment, and (ii) the Executive shall not engage in Solicitation (as defined below) during the two-year period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment.

For purposes of this Section 5, the term Solicitation shall mean that without the written approval of the CEO or his delegate, the Executive, directly or indirectly, solicits, encourages or participates in the solicitation or hiring of, any person who is currently an employee of the Company or independent contractor doing business with the Company or who was an employee of the Company at any time during the last three (3) months of the Employment Period by any employer other than the Company for any position as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise; provided that the Executive shall not be considered to have engaged in Solicitation for purposes of this Section 5 if an employer other than the Company solicits or hires, with no participation or involvement by the Executive, any current or former employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company who is not or was not employed in, or providing direct services to, a business area of the Company for which Executive (immediately

prior to the termination of his employment) had no direct authority or responsibility; and provided further that the term Solicitation shall not preclude Executive from giving references.

6. Change of Control.

     (a) General. In the event of any Change of Control following the effective date of this Agreement and during the Employment Period, Subsection 6(b) shall supersede Section 2; Subsection 6(d) shall supersede Subsection 3(a); Subsection 6(e) shall supersede Subsections 3(b); Subsections 6(f) through (i) shall supersede Section 5; and the other provisions of this Section 6 shall supplement the other provisions of Sections 3 and 4; in each case until the expiration of the COC Employment Period triggered by such Change of Control. If the Executive’s employment is not terminated before the end of the applicable COC Employment Period, immediately following such COC Employment Period, the provisions of this Section 6 shall cease to apply unless and until another Change of Control occurs during the Employment Period and the provisions of Sections 2, 3(a), 3(b) and 5 shall again apply if the Employment Period has not yet expired. Effective upon the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason during a COC Employment Period, any previous restrictions imposed under this Agreement or any other agreement upon the Executive regarding engaging in post-termination competitive activity against the Company or soliciting current or former employees or independent contractors of the Company shall immediately cease to be applicable.

     For purposes of this Section 6, if (i) the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to a Change of Control, (ii) the Executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination of employment either (A) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or a Section 409A Change in Control Event or (B) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control or a Section 409A Change in Control Event and (iii) a Section 409A Change in Control Event is actually consummated, then such termination shall be deemed to have occurred during a COC Employment Period.

     (b) Position and Duties. During a COC Employment Period, (i) the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting relationships and requirements), authority, duties and areas and scope responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the COC Employment Period; and (ii) the Executive’s services shall be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding any such Change of Control or any office or location less than 35 miles from such location and that is not in a different state than such location. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any activities have been conducted by the Executive during the three years immediately prior to a Change of Control, the reinstatement or continued conduct of such activities (or the reinstatement or conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to any related Change of Control shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities to the Company and its subsidiaries.

     (c) Incentive Compensation, Employee Benefits and Fringe Benefits. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, during a COC Employment Period, the Executive (and eligible family members or dependents, as applicable) shall be entitled to participate in all

incentive, profit-sharing, stock option, stock award, savings and retirement, and health and welfare benefit plans (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) practices, policies and programs and to receive paid vacation, fringe benefits, and expense reimbursement, all as applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliated Companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies, programs and benefits provide the Executive with incentive opportunities (cash or equity), savings opportunities, retirement benefit opportunities, health and welfare benefits, vacation pay, fringe benefits, and expense reimbursement, which are, in each case, less favorable in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its Affiliated Companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Change of Control, or if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time thereafter to other senior executives of the Company and its Affiliated Companies.

     (d) Annual Base Salary. During a COC Employment Period, the Executive shall receive, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices in effect from time to time for its senior executives, an Annual Base Salary which shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the beginning of the COC Employment Period and thereafter at least annually. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after such an increase and the term Annual Base Salary as used in this Section 6 shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased.

     (e) Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, for each fiscal year ending during a COC Employment Period, Executive shall be awarded an annual bonus in cash at least equal to the Executive’s highest target incentive opportunity under the Incentive Plan for any of the past three years (the “Annual Bonus”). Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the 15^th day of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall have elected to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus in accordance with an applicable deferred compensation plan of the Company.

     (f) Death. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during a COC Employment Period without further obligation to the Executive’s legal representative’s under this Agreement other than for payment of any Unpaid Accrued Obligations and any Other Benefits which shall be at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company and Affiliated Companies to the estates and beneficiaries of senior executives of the Company and such affiliated companies under such plans, programs, and policies relating to death benefits and survivor benefits as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately prior to the COC Employment Period, or if more favorable to the Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries, as in effect on the date of the Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Company and their beneficiaries. Unpaid Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Termination Date, and the Other Benefits shall be provided promptly when due.

     (g) Disability. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during a COC Employment Period, it may give the Executive Notice of Termination. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the Termination Date, provided that, within the 30 days after Executive’s receipt of the Notice of Termination, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. In the event of Executive’s termination of employment due to Disability, Unpaid Accrued Obligations shall be paid in cash to the Executive within 30 days following the Termination Date, and the Other Benefits shall be provided promptly when due.

     (h) Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or voluntarily by the Executive without Good Reason during the COC Employment Period, the Employment Period shall terminate and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to pay the Executive (i) his unpaid Annual Base Salary through the Termination Date, and (ii) any unpaid Other Benefits. In such case, all Unpaid Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days following the Termination Date, and the Other Benefits shall be provided promptly when due.

     (i) Termination for Good Reason or without Cause. If, during the COC Employment Period, the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall:

          (1) within 30 days following the Executive’s Termination Date, pay the Executive a single sum cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the Unpaid Accrued Obligations; (ii) the product of three (or the number of whole and partial years from the Executive’s Termination Date until his 65^th birthday, if less) multiplied by the sum of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary, plus the Executive’s Annual Bonus, plus the greater of the Highest Profit Sharing Contribution or the highest aggregate Company contribution to the Executive’s account under the Company’s qualified and nonqualified defined contribution retirement plans for any of the three years immediately preceding the Executive’s Termination Date; and (iii) the Executive’s Enhanced SERP Benefit; and

          (3) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, pay or provide to the Executive all Other Benefits promptly when due;

          (2) any significant reduction by the Company of the Executive’s total compensation in the aggregate, unless such reduction was part of a reduction approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a Committee thereof) for a group of senior executives in addition to the Executive;

          (3) during a COC Employment Period, the Executive ceases to be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to a continuing or successor company; or

          (4) during a COC Employment Period, any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Subsections 6(b) through 6(e) of this Agreement.

     (k) “Highest Profit Sharing Contribution” shall mean the annual aggregate of the highest contributions made under the Company’s Profit Sharing Incentive Plan and the highest hypothetical contributions made under the Company’s Profit Sharing Benefits Equalization Plan or any successor or replacement plans thereto, for any of the three calendar years preceding the Executive’s Termination Date.

     (l) “Invention(s)” shall mean any discovery, improvement, process, product, or device conceived, discovered or made by the Executive during the Employment Term, or after the Employment Term based on Confidential Information, either solely or jointly with others, whether patentable or not, which is related to the actual or anticipated business or activities of the Company, or related to its actual or anticipated research development, or suggested by or resulting from any tasks assigned to the Executive or work performed by the Executive for or on behalf of the Company, or with the use of Company facilities, materials or personnel.

     (m) “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Termination Date (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance

which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

     (n) “Other Benefits” shall mean all amounts or benefits other than Unpaid Accrued Obligations required to be paid or provided or which the Executive (or his beneficiaries) is eligible to receive under the applicable terms of any plan, program, agreement, corporate governance document, or other arrangement of the Company or any Affiliated Company.

     (o) “Retirement Plan” shall mean the Company’s defined benefit retirement plan.

     (p) “Section 409A Change in Control Event” shall mean the happening of any of the following events:

          (2) during any 12-month period, individuals who, as of the first day of such period, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such 12-month period whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board;

          (3) consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company (each a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Shares or Outstanding

Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectfully, the then outstanding shares of the common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Shares and Outstanding Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectfully, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board on the later of (x) the time of the execution of the initial agreement, (y) the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination or (z) the beginning of the 12-month period ending on the effective date of the Business Combination;

          (4) any one Person acquires (or has acquired during any 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person) assets of the Company having a fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such sale, other than an acquisition by (A) a Person who was a shareholder of the Company immediately before the asset acquisition in exchange for or with respect to such Person’s Shares, (B) an entity whose total or voting power immediately after the transfer is at least 50% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (C) a person or group that, immediately after the transfer, directly or indirectly owns at least 50% of the total value or voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company or (D) an entity whose total value or voting power immediately after the transfer is at least 50% owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in clause (C) above; or

          (5) the complete liquidation of the Company.

     The definition of Section 409A Change in Control Event for purposes of this Agreement is intended to conform to the description of “Change in Control Events” in Treas. Prop. Reg. 1.409A-3(g)(5), or in subsequent IRS guidance describing what constitutes a Change in Control Event for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, no Section 409A Change in Control Event will be deemed to occur with respect to a transaction or event described in paragraphs (1) through (5) above unless the transaction or event would constitute a “Change in Control Event” as described in Treas. Prop. Reg. 1.409A-3(g)(5), or in subsequent IRS guidance under Code section 409A.

     (q) “SERP” shall mean the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan or any successor thereto.

     (r) “Termination Date” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of the other party’s

receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, or by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the Termination Date shall be the date on which the Notice of Termination is delivered or any later date as may be mutually agreed upon; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death, the Termination Date shall be the date of the death; and (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Disability of the Executive, the Termination Date shall be the 30^th day after Executive’s receipt of the Notice of Termination from the Company.

     (s) “Unpaid Accrued Obligations” shall mean unpaid Annual Base Salary accrued through the termination date, any unpaid accrued vacation pay, and the Executive’s Annual Bonus multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is 365.

8. Certain Additional Payments.

     (a) Except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) made or provided to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (each, a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax, the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (“Gross-Up Payment”), at or before the time the Excise Tax is due (whether by withholding or otherwise) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. The Company’s obligation to make Gross-Up Payments under this Section 8 shall not be conditioned upon the Executive’s termination of employment.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Subsection 8(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by such nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that the Company may designate (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting a Change of Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within ten days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event the Company exhausts or does not seek to pursue its remedies pursuant to Subsection 8(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.

     (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:

          (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,

          (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

          (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and

          (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax, income tax or other tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 8(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole discretion, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole discretion, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that, if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the

Company shall pay the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income in connection with such payment; and further provided, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

     (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of a Gross-Up Payment or an amount paid by the Company pursuant to Subsection 8(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to the Excise Tax to which such Gross-Up Payment relates or with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Subsection 8(c), if applicable) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount paid by the Company pursuant to Subsection 8(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such payment shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such payment shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the Executive, all or any portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding.

9. Code Section 409A Provisions.

     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, if, based on Internal Revenue Service guidance available as of the date the payment or provision of any amount or other benefit is specified to be made under this Agreement or elsewhere, the Company reasonably determines that the payment or provision of such amount or other benefit at such specified time may potentially subject the Executive to “additional tax” under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to, or in connection with, such tax, a “409A Tax”) with respect to the payment of such amount or the provision of such benefit, and if payment or provision thereof at a later date would likely avoid any such 409A Tax, then the payment or provision thereof shall be postponed to the earliest business day on which the Company reasonably determines such amount or benefit can be paid or provided without incurring any such 409A Tax, but in no event later than the first business day after the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Delayed Payment Date”). In addition, if the Company reasonably determines that such 409A Tax with respect to the provision of a benefit can likely be avoided by replacing the benefit with the payment of an amount in cash equal to the cost of a substantially equivalent benefit then, in lieu providing such benefit, the

Company may make such cash payment, subject to the preceding sentence. In the event a benefit is to be provided during the period commencing on the Executive’s separation from service and ending on the Delayed Payment Date and the provision of such benefit during that period would be treated as a payment of nonqualified deferred compensation in violation of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then continuation of such benefit during that period shall be conditioned on payment by the Executive of the full premium or other cost of coverage and as of the Delayed Payment Date the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the premiums or other cost of coverage paid by the Executive, which but for this paragraph would have been paid by the Company. Any such reimbursement shall include interest at the rate set out in the last sentence of this paragraph. The Company and the Executive may agree to take other actions to avoid the imposition of 409A Tax at such time and in such manner as permitted under Section 409A. In the event that this Section 9 requires a delay of any payment, such payment shall be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the Delayed Payment Date together with interest for the period of delay, compounded monthly, equal to the prime or base lending rate then used by CitiBank, N.A., in New York City and in effect as of the date the payment would otherwise have been provided.

10. Directorships, Other Offices.

     In the event of termination of employment, Executive shall immediately, unless otherwise requested by the Company’s Board of Directors, resign from all directorships, trusteeships, other offices and employment held at that time with the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies.

11. Confidentiality and Inventions.

     (a) Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive acknowledges that Confidential Information is a valuable asset of the Company and that unauthorized disclosure or utilization thereof could be detrimental to the Company. Therefore, the Executive shall not, either during of after the term of his employment by the Company, disclose to any person or organization other than the Company, or utilize for the benefit or profit of himself or any other person or organization other than the Company, any Confidential Information, except as may be authorized in writing by the Company.

     (b) Ownership of Inventions. The following shall be property of the Company exclusively:

          (i) Any Invention conceived, discovered or made by the Executive;

          (ii) Any patent, patent application or record relating to any Invention.

     (c) Disclosure of Inventions. The Executive shall disclose to the Company and keep adequate records of any Invention of the Executive.

     (d) Obtaining and Enforcement of Patents. Without further consideration from, or charge to the Company, whenever requested to do so by the Company, the Executive shall

execute any patent applications, assignments, or other instruments which the Company shall consider necessary to apply for and obtain Letters Patent in the United States and any foreign country and take all necessary action to protect the Company’s interests therein. These obligations shall continue beyond the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company. Necessary expenses in connection with the foregoing, including a fee not to exceed $100 per day for testifying if Executive is no longer employed by the Company, shall be borne by the Company.

     (e) Disclaimer. The Executive represents that the Executive is under no obligation to any former employer or third party which is in any way inconsistent with this Agreement or which imposes any restrictions on the Executive’s activities with the Company, except as described in any attachment to this Agreement.

     (f) Confidential Information of Prior Employers. The Executive shall not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any secret or confidential information or material belonging to others, including former employers, if any. In case of doubt with respect to the Executive’s obligations towards a prior employer, the Executive shall consult with appropriate Associate General Counsel or designee.

     (g) Removal and Return of Company Property. The Executive shall keep elsewhere than on Company property, nor remove therefrom, any Company property, except and only so long as may be required for the performance of duties for the Company. Upon termination of employment with the Company, the Executive shall turn over to a designated individual employed by the Company, all property then in the Executive’s possession or custody and belonging to the Company. The Executive shall not retain any copies or reproductions of correspondence, memoranda, reports, notebooks, drawings, photographs, or other documents relating in any way to the affairs of the Company which are entrusted to the Executive at any time during employment with the Company.

12. Remedies; Injunction.

     (a) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 5 and 11 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the legitimate interests, properties, goodwill and business of the Company and its Affiliated Companies, that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions and that irreparable injury will be suffered by the Company should Executive breach any of the provisions of those sections. Executive represents and acknowledges that (i) Executive has been advised by the Company to consult legal counsel with respect to this Agreement, and (ii) that Executive has had full opportunity, prior to execution of this Agreement, to review thoroughly this Agreement with counsel.

     (b) Executive further acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the restrictions in Sections 5 or 11 cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages. Executive agrees that the Company will be entitled to a return of the cash consideration set forth in this Agreement as being conditioned on the covenants contained in Sections 5 and 11 and that all remaining stock options will be forfeited if Executive breaches the provisions of either of those sections and that, in any event, the Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief,

without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as provable damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of Sections 5 or 11, which rights will be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company and/or its Affiliated Companies may be entitled. In the event that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 11 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the provision will be amended to the extent of the maximum time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law, that such amendment will apply only within the jurisdiction of the court that made such adjudication and that the provision otherwise be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

     (c) Executive irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of Sections 5 or 11, including without limitation, any action commenced by the Company and/or its Affiliated Companies for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief, may be brought in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection which Executive may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

13. Intellectual Property.

     To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all intellectual property (including patents, trademarks, and copyrights) which are made, developed or acquired by Executive in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company will be and remain the absolute property of the Company, and Executive shall assist the Company in perfecting and defending its rights to such intellectual property.

14. Non-Exclusivity.

     Except as specifically expressed herein, nothing contained herein is intended to alter the terms of any benefit plan or program. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Company or its Affiliated Companies, as applicable, reserves the right to amend or terminate any of its or their employee benefit plans at any time. In the event that an amendment to an employee benefit plan adopted after the effective date of this Agreement specifically conflicts with an express promise made in this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to honor the promise through comparable means outside the affected employee benefit plan without regard to any differences in the tax impact to the Executive. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit plan provided by the Company or any of its affiliates for which the Executive may qualify.

15. Full Settlement.

     In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts and benefits (other than as required pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii)) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and

such amounts and benefits (other than as required pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii)) shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. In the event of a Change of Control, the Company agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law and with respect to disputes that arise out of events occurring during the applicable COC Employment Period, all legal fees and expenses up to $25,000 which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement); provided, however, that if the Company ultimately prevails in a court of competent jurisdiction with regard to any such contest, the Executive agrees to reimburse the Company for any and all legal fees and expenses paid by the Company in accordance with this sentence. Such reimbursement shall become payable within 30 days after the expiration of the applicable period to appeal such outcome or, if an appeal is taken, 30 days after final resolution of such appeal. Interest shall accrue on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

16. Governing Law.

     This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

17. Assignments; Transfers; Effect of Merger.

     (a) No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the continuing entity, or pursuant to the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

     (b) This Agreement will not be terminated by any merger, consolidation or transfer of assets of the Company referred to above. In the event of any such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets, the provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon the surviving or resulting corporation or the person or entity to which such assets are transferred.

     (c) The Company agrees that concurrently with any merger, consolidation or transfer of assets referred to above, it will cause any successor or transferee unconditionally to assume, either contractually or as a matter of law, all of the obligations of the Company hereunder.

     (d) This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by or against, Executive or Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, designees and legatees. None of Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive other than Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law. If Executive should die while any amounts or benefits have been accrued by Executive but not yet paid as of the date of Executive’s death and which would be payable to Executive hereunder had Executive continued to live, all such amounts and benefits unless otherwise provided herein will

be paid or provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons appointed in writing by Executive to receive such amounts or, if no such person is so appointed, to Executive’s estate. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, references in this Agreement to “Executive” shall be deemed to refer, as appropriate, to his heirs, beneficiaries, estate, executor, or other legal representative.

18. Modification.

     No provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by both Executive and the CEO. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party will be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
