WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the institutions pharmacy business;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive, effective as of the Start Date, as the Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, and the Executive desires to serve in that capacity, effective as of the date of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. Employment Period. The Company shall employ the Executive, either directly or through a Subsidiary, and the Executive shall serve the Company or any such Subsidiary, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, beginning on the Start Date (the “Employment Date”) and until that employment ceases as provided below in Section 4 (the “Employment Period”).

2. Position and Duties.

(a) During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be employed as the Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, subject to such changes in title as may be proposed by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer and consented to by the Executive. The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall perform such duties for the Company as are related typically to the office of Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Secretary, in the manner reasonably directed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in his discretion.

(b) During the Employment Period, but excluding any periods of vacation and absence due to intermittent illness to which the Executive is entitled, and any services on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, lectures, speaking engagements or teaching engagements that are approved by the Executive’s direct supervisor and that do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities to the Company or violating the provisions of Section 9, the Executive shall devote his full time and attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and the Executive shall use reasonable efforts to carry out all duties and responsibilities assigned to him faithfully and efficiently.

3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary of $250,000.00, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company. The Executive’s base salary shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and/or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s standard practices for executives generally, and may be increased, but not decreased, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, or by any person or persons to whom the Committee has delegated such authority.

(b) Annual Bonus and Incentive Plans; Other Benefits. During the Employment Period: (i) the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any short-term and long-term incentive programs established and/or maintained by the Company for its senior level executives generally; (ii) the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies

(c) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive advancement or prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred or anticipated to be incurred by the Executive in carrying out the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, provided that the Executive complies with the generally applicable policies, practices and procedures of the Company for submission of expense reports, receipts, or similar documentation of such expenses.

4. Termination of Employment.

(a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment and the Employment Period shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death or long term Disability during the Employment Period. “Disability” means a condition entitling the Executive to benefits under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan, policy or arrangement.

(b) By the Company. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement during the Employment Period for Cause or without Cause. “Cause” means

(i) the continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties as contemplated by this Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury or any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance by the Executive of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason) over a period of not less than thirty days after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which demand identifies the manner in which it is believed that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties;

(ii) the willful misconduct of the Executive materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company (including, without limitation, any breach by the Executive of Section 9 of this Agreement); provided that no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part will be considered willful if done, or omitted to be done, by him in good faith and with reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company;

(iii) the conviction of the Executive for a misdemeanor, which, as determined in good faith by the Board, constitutes a crime of moral turpitude and gives rise to material harm to the Company or to any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;

(iv) the conviction of the Executive for a felony (including, without limitation, any felony constituting a crime of moral turpitude); or

(v) material breach by the Executive of the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c) By the Executive. The Executive may terminate employment under this Agreement for Good Reason or without Good Reason. “Good Reason” means:

(i) any reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary, incentive bonus opportunity or long-term incentive opportunity; or

2

(ii) material failure by the Company to comply with any provision of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent failure that is not taken in bad faith and is remedied by the Company within 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Executive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Good Reason” for purposes of Section 4(c)(i) shall not include a reduction in Base Salary, incentive bonus or long-term incentive opportunity if such reduction is coincident with a reduction applicable to all members of the senior management team. A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effectuated by giving the Company written notice (“Notice of Termination for Good Reason”) of the termination, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct that constitutes Good Reason and the specific provision(s) of this Agreement on which the Executive relies. Such Notice of Termination for Good Reason must be received by the Company no later than the 60^th day after the event, or last in a series of events, that gives rise to Good Reason. The Company shall have 20 days to remedy the conduct set forth in the Notice of Termination for Good Reason. A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effective on the 60^th business day following the date when the Notice of Termination for Good Reason is given, unless the conduct set forth in the notice is remedied by the Company within the 20-day period. A termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive without Good Reason shall be effected by giving the Company at least 30 days’ advance written notice of the termination.

(d) Date of Termination. The “Date of Termination” means the date of the Executive’s death, the date of the Executive’s Disability, the date the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement by the Company for Cause or without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason or without Good Reason, as the case may be, is effective. The Employment Period shall end on the Date of Termination.

5. Obligations of the Company upon Termination.

(a) By the Company Other Than for Cause; or By the Executive for Good Reason. If, during the Employment Period, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (other than for Cause) or the Executive terminates employment under this Agreement for Good Reason:

(1) the Executive shall be entitled to (i) continued payment for eighteen (18) months after the Date of Termination of the Executive’s current base salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination), and (ii) a bonus equal to the average of the annual bonuses earned by the Executive over the three complete years (or if less than three years, the average bonus earned during such shorter period) preceding the Date of Termination (that is, not including the bonus year that includes the Date of Termination) to be paid on the first business day at the conclusion of the eighteen month period after the Date of Termination; and

(2) for the eighteen (18) month period following the Date of Termination, the Executive will receive waiver of the applicable premium otherwise payable for COBRA continuation coverage for the Executive, his spouse and eligible dependents (to the extent covered on the Date of Termination) for health, prescription, dental and vision benefits; provided, however, that to the extent COBRA continuation coverage eligibility expires (unless such expiration is due to eligibility for other group health insurance or Medicare) before the end of such eighteen month period, the Executive will receive payment, on an after-tax basis, of an amount equal to the premium the Company would have otherwise waived for COBRA coverage. The obligations of the

3

Company to provide benefits under this Section 5(a)(2) shall terminate on the date of occurrence of the first to occur of any of the following, if any of the following should occur prior to the end of the eighteen (18) month period: (i) the date of commencement of eligibility of the Executive under the group health plan of any other employer or (ii) the date of commencement of eligibility of the Executive for Medicare benefits.

In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive executive level outplacement assistance under any outplacement assistance program then being maintained by the Company in accordance with the terms of any such program. The Executive shall also become vested in any outstanding options, restricted stock or other equity incentive awards only to the extent provided for under the terms governing such equity incentive award. The Company shall also pay, or cause to be paid, to the Executive, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination (or, in the case of the pro-rated Annual Bonus Amount, at the time such bonus would otherwise be paid), the Executive’s accrued but unpaid cash compensation (the “Accrued Obligations”), which shall include but not be limited to, (W) the Executive’s base salary through the Date of Termination that has not yet been paid (X) an amount representing a 100% target bonus for the Executive’s salary grade for the year of termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Annual Bonus Amount”), (Y) any accrued but unpaid vacation pay, and (Z) similar unpaid items that have accrued and as to which the Executive has become entitled as of the Date of Termination, including declared but unpaid bonuses and unreimbursed employee business expenses; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to make any payments, or cause any payments to be made, under this paragraph (a) to the extent any such payment shall not have accrued as of the day before the Date of Termination shall also be conditioned upon the Executive’s execution, and non-revocation, of a written release, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, of any and all claims against the Company and all related parties with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement or the termination thereof (other than any entitlements under the terms of this Agreement to indemnification or under any other plans or programs of the Company in which the Executive participated and under which the Executive has accrued and is due a benefit).

If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Executive in connection with his employment termination is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Executive is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and Income Tax Regulations under Section 409A, no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the Date of Termination (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Executive during the period between the termination date and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive, without interest, in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay the Accrued Obligations to the Executive or the Executive’s estate or legal representative, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death, the Executive shall also become vested in any outstanding options, restricted stock or other equity incentive awards. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement or otherwise to or with respect to the Executive other than for any entitlements under the terms of any other plans or programs of the Company in which the Executive participated and under which the Executive has become entitled to a benefit.

4

(c) By the Company for Cause; By the Executive Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause during the Employment Period, or the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, other than for Good Reason, the Company shall pay the Executive, or shall cause the Executive to be paid, the Executive’s base salary through the Date of Termination that has not been paid and the amount of any declared but unpaid bonuses, accrued but unpaid vacation pay, and unreimbursed employee business expenses, and the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement or otherwise to or with respect to the Executive other than for any entitlements under the terms of any other plans or programs of the Company in which the Executive participated and under which the Executive has become entitled to a benefit.

(d) Termination Pursuant to a Change of Control. If there is a Change of Control, as defined in Section 5(d)(i) below, during the Employment Period, the provisions of this Section 5(d) shall apply and shall continue to apply throughout the remainder of Employment Period. If, within one (1) year following a Change of Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or the Executive following the occurrence of any of the events listed in Section 5(d)(ii) below or if the Executive’s employment is terminated without cause (in accordance with Section 5(a) above), the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate, if applicable) the payments described under Section 5(a) and the Executive shall become vested in any outstanding options, restricted stock, or other equity incentive award; provided that the Company’s obligation to make any payment, or to permit any vesting of outstanding options, restricted stock, or other equity incentive award as described above, shall be conditioned upon the Executive’s execution, and non-revocation, of a written release, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

(i) Change of Control shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

(A) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) becomes a “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company, representing forty percent (40%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

(B) persons who, as of the Effective Date, constituted the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason including, without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors, provided that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to the Effective Date whose election was approved by at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall, for purposes of this Section 5(d), be considered a member of the Incumbent Board; or

(C) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, other than (1) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the

5

Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than forty percent (40%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (2) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no “person” (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than forty percent (40%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

(D) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

(ii) The events referred to in Section 5(d) above shall be as follows:

(A) a reduction of the Executive’s salary other than a reduction that is (1) is based on the Company’s financial performance or (2) is similar to the reduction made to the salaries provided to all or most other senior executives of the Company; or

(B) a significant change in the Executive’s responsibilities and/or duties which constitutes, when compared to the Executive’s responsibilities and/or duties before the Change of Control, a demotion; or

(C) a material loss of title or office; or

(D) the relocation of the offices at which the Executive is principally employed as of the Change of Control to a location more than fifty (50) miles from such offices, which relocation is not approved by the Executive.

The Executive shall provide the Company with reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure any of the events listed in Section 5(d)(ii) and shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 5(d) unless the Company fails to cure within a reasonable period.

(e) Treatment of Payments Subject to Section 280G. It is the understanding of the Executive and of the Company that certain payments by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement or plan, if any, pursuant to which the Executive is entitled to receive payments or benefits may be subject to the provisions of Section 280G of the Code or any like statutory or regulatory provision relating to parachute payments as such term is defined in section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (a “Parachute Payment”). In general, under Section 280G, a Parachute Payment is a compensatory payment (including the accelerated vesting of compensatory stock options made upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company) to the extent that the payment exceeds three times the Executive’s annual compensation.

(i) Reduction of Minimal Parachute Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any such agreement or plan, the amount of the payment pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof or any other payments (a “Change

6

in Control Payment”) made to the Executive pursuant to a change in control as defined in Section 280G that is treated as a Parachute Payment is less than 10% of the Change in Control Payment, such Change in Control Payment shall be reduced to an amount such that the Executive will not receive any Parachute Payment. To the extent that such Parachute Payments have been made to or for the benefit of the Executive, the Executive shall refund such Parachute Payment to the Company with interest thereon at the applicable Federal rate determined under Section 1274(d) of the Code, compounded annually, or at such other rate as may be required in order that no such payments shall subject to Section 280G or any like statutory or regulatory provision. To the extent that there is more than one method of reducing the payments to bring them within the limitations of said Section 280G or any like statutory or regulatory provision, the amount of the cash payment you are otherwise entitled to receive under the terms of this Employment Agreement will be reduced to an amount that prevents the 280G limitation from being exceeded (but not below zero)

(ii) (ii) Payment of Tax Gross-Up for Substantial Parachute Payments. In the event that (i) the Company makes a Change in Control Payment to the Executive under this Agreement or under any other arrangement that is determined to constitute a Parachute Payment and (ii) the amount of such Parachute Payment is 10% or more of the Change in Control Payment, the provisions of Section 5(e)(i) shall not apply to such Parachute Payment and the Company shall pay to the Executive, prior to the time any excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code (“Excise Tax”) is payable with respect to such Payment, an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) which, after the imposition of all income and excise taxes thereon (and assuming all federal, state and other income taxes are imposed at the highest marginal rate), is equal to the Excise Tax on such Payment.

(iii) Determination of Parachute Payment Status. The determination of whether any Payment constitutes a Parachute Payment and, if so, the amount, if any, to be paid by the Executive to the Company under Section 5(e)(i) hereof or to the Executive by the Company under Section 5(e)(ii) hereof and the time of payment pursuant to this Section 5(e) shall be made by a nationally-recognized independent accounting firm (the “Auditor”) selected and paid for by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment shall be paid by the Company to the Executive no later than ten calendar days after the receipt of the Auditor’s determination. Any determination by the Auditor shall, subject to the provisions of Section 11(c)(ii) and (iii) below, be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

(iv) As a result of uncertainty in the application of sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, or other circumstances, at the time of the initial determination by the Auditor hereunder, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will have been an amount more than the Company should have paid pursuant to Section 5(e) (the “Overpayment”) or that the Gross-Up Payment made will have been an amount less than the Company should have paid pursuant to Section 5(e) (the “Underpayment”). In the event that there is a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service, or a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, with respect to the Executive’s liability under section 4999 of the Code such that an Overpayment has been made, then to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Executive agrees to return to the Company the amount of the Overpayment that the Executive recovers. In the event that there is a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service, or a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to

7

the Executive’s liability under section 4999 of the Code such that an Underpayment arises under this Letter Agreement, then any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.

(v) The Executive agrees to notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would result in a determination that an Overpayment or an Underpayment had occurred. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10 business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim. In the case of a claim that would result in an Underpayment, such notice shall include 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 calendar 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 cooperate with the Company provided that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees, additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest.

6. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company for which the Executive may qualify. Vested benefits and other amounts that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive on or after the Date of Termination under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice, program, contract or agreement, as the case may be, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

7. No Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced, regardless of whether the Executive obtains other employment.

8. Confidential Information; Non-solicitation; Non-competition.

(a) The Executive agrees and acknowledges that by reason of his employment by and service to the Company, he will have access to, become exposed to and/or become knowledgeable about confidential information of the Company (the “Confidential Information”) from time to time during the Employment Period, including, without limitation, proposals, plans, inventions, practices, systems, programs, processes, methods, techniques, research, records, supplier sources, customer lists and other forms of business information that are not known to the Company’s competitors, are not recognized as being encompassed within standard business or management practices and/or are kept secret and confidential by the Company. Executive agrees that at no time during or after the Employment Period will he disclose or use the Confidential Information except as may be required in the prudent course of business for the benefit of the Company. The Executive also agrees to be subject to the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct as in effect from time to time during the Employment Period.

(b) The Executive acknowledges that the Company is generally engaged in business throughout the United States. During the Executive’s employment by the Company and for eighteen (18) months after the Date of Termination or the expiration of the final Employment Period, the Executive agrees that he will not, unless acting with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or

8

indirectly, own, manage, control, or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or be employed or engaged by, or otherwise affiliated or associated with, as an officer, director, employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, any other corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, association or other business entity, or otherwise engage in any business, which is engaged in hospital and long term care institutional pharmacy services; provided, however, that the ownership of not more than 5% of the equity of a publicly traded entity shall not be deemed to be a violation of this paragraph. During such eighteen month period, Executive also agrees to make himself reasonably available to the Company for consulting at a per diem rate that reflects his annual salary as in an effect prior to his termination of employment (plus reimbursement of Executive’s reasonable expenses).

(c) The Executive also agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, during the period described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8 induce any person who is an employee, officer, director, or agent of the Company, to terminate such relationship, or employ, assist in employing or otherwise be associated in business with any present or former employee or officer of the Company, including without limitation those who commence such positions with the Company after the Date of Termination.

(d) The Executive also agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, during the period described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8, (i) solicit or otherwise accept business for hospital and long term care institutional pharmacy services from any client or customer of the Company or any prospective client or customer of the Company or (ii) cause a client or customer, or any prospective client or customer of the Company, to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Company.

(e) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 8 are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the legitimate interests, properties, goodwill and business of the Company, 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 the Executive breach the provisions of this Section. The Executive represents and acknowledges that (i) the Executive has been advised by the Company to consult the Executive’s own legal counsel in respect of this Agreement, (ii) the Executive has consulted with and been advised by his own counsel in respect of this Agreement, and (iii) the Executive has had full opportunity, prior to execution of this Agreement, to review thoroughly this Agreement with the Executive’s counsel.

(f) The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the restrictions in this Section 8 will not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. The Executive agrees that actual damage may be difficult to ascertain and that, in the event of any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to such other legal or equitable remedies as may be available to the Company. In the event that the provisions of this Section 8 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the provision shall be amended such that those provisions are made consistent with the maximum limitations permitted by applicable law, that such amendment shall apply only within the jurisdiction of the court that made such adjudication and that those provisions otherwise be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(g) To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 9 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that suit may be brought, and that he consents to personal jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Fayette County, Kentucky; consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; and waives any objection which he may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. The Executive also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers.

9

(h) For purposes of this Section 8, the term “Company” shall be deemed to include subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company.

(i) The Executive agrees that during his employment he shall not use or disclose to the Company any confidential or proprietary information obtained in the course of employment with a prior employer.

9. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Lexington, Kentucky in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than the Executive or the Company may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.

10. Successors. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean both the Company as defined above and any such successor that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Kentucky, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(b) If a claim or action at law or in equity is commenced to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, including any claim or action pursuant to Section 8, and such claim or action is determined by the presiding fact-finder to be unreasonable, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief, all attorney’s fees incurred by such prevailing party.

10

(g) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all benefits or payments provided by the Company to the Executive that would be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. If, however, any such benefit or payment is deemed to not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Company and the Executive agree to renegotiate in good faith any such benefit or payment (including, without limitation, as to the timing of any severance payments payable hereof) so that either (i) Section 409A of the Code will not apply or (ii) compliance with Section 409A will be achieved.

(h) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement and supercedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to any related subject matter.

(i) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

12. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations, including, but not by way of limitation, those rights and obligations set forth in Sections 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11.
