This Agreement supersedes, replaces and terminates any employment agreement or compensation arrangement previously entered into or agreed to by and among the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries and the Executive.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company considers the availability of the Executive’s services to be important to the management and conduct of the Company’s business and desires to secure the availability of the Executive’s services; and

WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to make the Executive’s services available to the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

(a)  Position. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment, as the Senior Vice President — Strategy, M&A and Portfolio Management of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. The Executive agrees to perform such duties and responsibilities as are customarily performed by persons acting in such capacity or as are assigned to Executive from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company or its designees. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that from time to time the Company may assign Executive additional positions with the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries, with such title, duties and responsibilities as shall be determined by the Company. The Executive agrees to serve in any and all such positions without additional compensation. The Executive will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(b)  Duties. The Executive shall devote the Executive’s best efforts and full professional time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries. During the Term, Executive shall not serve as a director or principal of any other company or charitable or civic organization without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company. The principal place(s) of employment of the Executive shall be the Company’s executive offices in Atlanta, Georgia subject to reasonable travel on the business of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries. The Executive shall be expected to follow and be bound by the terms of the Company’s Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and any other applicable policies as the Company from time to time may adopt.

2.  Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date, and will continue through the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless terminated or extended as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall be extended for successive one-year periods following the original term (through each subsequent anniversary thereafter) unless any party notifies the other in writing at least 30 days prior to the end of the original term, or the end of any additional one-year renewal term, that the Agreement shall not be extended beyond its then current term. The term of this Agreement, including any renewal term, is referred to herein as the “Term.”

(a)  Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive an annual base salary of $223,650. The annual base salary shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with the established payroll practices of the Company (but no less frequently than monthly) subject to ordinary and lawful deductions. The Compensation Committee of the Company will review the Executive’s base salary from time to time to consider whether any increase should be made. The base salary during the Term will not be less than that in effect at any time during the Term.

(b)  Annual Bonus. During the Term, the Executive will be eligible to participate in an annual incentive bonus plan that will establish measurable criteria and incentive compensation levels payable to the Executive for performance in relation to defined targets established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultation with management, and consistent with the Company’s business plans and objectives. To the extent the targeted performance levels are exceeded, the incentive bonus plan will provide a means by which the annual bonus will be increased. Similarly, the incentive plan will provide a means by which the annual bonus will be decreased or eliminated if the targeted performance levels are not achieved. In connection with such annual incentive bonus plan, subject to the corresponding performance levels being achieved, the Executive shall be eligible for an annual target bonus equal to 50 percent of the Executive’s annual base salary and an annual maximum bonus equal to 100 percent of the Executive’s annual base salary. Any bonus payments due hereunder shall be payable to the Executive no later than the 15^th day of the third month following the end of the applicable year to which the incentive bonus relates.

(c)  Stock Compensation. The Executive also shall be eligible to receive stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and/or other equity awards under the Company’s applicable equity plans on such basis as the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company or their designees, as the case may be, may determine on a basis not less favorable than that provided to the class of employees that includes the Executive. Except as specifically set forth above, however, nothing herein shall require the Company to make any equity grants or other awards to the Executive in any specific year.

4.  Indemnity. The Company and the Executive will enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for executive officers.

(a)  Benefit Programs.

rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company and its subsidiaries, and their successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Executive further agree that the Executive’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in the Executive’s power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement.

(c)  Inventions Retained and Licensed. There are no inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by Executive prior to the Executive’s employment with the Company (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), which belong to Executive, which relate to the Company’s or the Company’s subsidiaries’ proposed business, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries hereunder.

(d)  Return of Company Property and Information. The Executive agrees not to remove any property of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries or information from the premises of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries, except when authorized by the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries. Executive agrees to return all such property and information within seven days following the cessation of Executive’s employment for any reason. Such property includes, but is not limited to, the original and any copy (regardless of the manner in which it is recorded) of all information provided by the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries to the Executive or which the Executive has developed or collected in the scope of the Executive’s employment, as well as all issued equipment, supplies, accessories, vehicles, keys, instruments, tools, devices, computers, cell phones, materials, documents, plans, records, notebooks, drawings, or papers. Upon request by the Company, the Executive shall certify in writing that all copies of information subject to this Agreement located on the Executive’s computers or other electronic storage devices have been permanently deleted. Provided, however, the Executive may retain copies of documents relating to any employee benefit plans applicable to the Executive and income records to the extent necessary for the Executive to prepare the Executive’s individual tax returns.

11.  Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the Company becomes obligated to make to the Executive in connection with this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise. Except as specifically provided above with respect to the health care continuation benefit, the amount of any payment provided for in Section 8 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.

12.  Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall withhold from any amounts or benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold under any applicable law, regulation or ruling.

13.  Modification and Severability. The terms of this Agreement shall be presumed to be enforceable, and any reading causing unenforceability shall yield to a construction permitting

13

enforcement. If any single covenant or provision in this Agreement shall be found unenforceable, it shall be severed and the remaining covenants and provisions enforced in accordance with the tenor of the Agreement. In the event a court should determine not to enforce a covenant as written due to overbreadth, the parties specifically agree that said covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent reasonable, whether said revisions be in time, territory, scope of prohibited activities, or other respects.

14.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

15.  Remedies and Forum. The parties agree that they will not file any action arising out of this Agreement other than in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia or the State or Superior Courts of Cobb County, Georgia. Notwithstanding the pendency of any proceeding, either party shall be entitled to injunctive relief in a state or federal court located in Cobb County, Georgia upon a showing of irreparable injury. The parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue solely within these forums and solely in Cobb County, Georgia and waive all otherwise possible objections thereto. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and attorney’s fees from the non-prevailing party(ies) in any such proceeding no later than 90 days following the settlement or final resolution of any such proceeding. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries, including any dispute relating to the termination of this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to enforcement of said covenants by injunction.

16.  Notices. All written notices required by this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a nationally-recognized overnight delivery service to the parties at their addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. Each party may, from time to time, designate a different address to which notices should be sent.

17.  Amendment. This Agreement may not be varied, altered, modified or in any way amended except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto or their legal representatives.

18.  Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on the Executive and the Company and their respective successors and assigns effective on the Effective Date. Executive consents to any assignment of this Agreement by the Company, so long as the Company will require any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. If the Executive dies before receiving all payments due under this Agreement, unless expressly otherwise provided hereunder or in a separate plan, program, arrangement or agreement, any remaining payments due after the Executive’s death shall be made to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, to the Executive’s estate.

19.  No Construction Against Any Party. This Agreement is the product of informed negotiations between the Executive and the Company. If any part of this Agreement is deemed to

14

be unclear or ambiguous, it shall be construed as if it were drafted jointly by all parties. The Executive and the Company agree that none of the parties were in a superior bargaining position regarding the substantive terms of this Agreement.

20.  Deferred Compensation Omnibus Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time, including without limitation payment and provision of benefits only in connection with the occurrence of a permissible payment event contained in Section 409A (e.g. separation from service from the Company and its affiliates as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board of Directors is authorized to amend this Agreement, to amend or void any election made by the Executive under this Agreement and/or to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by it to be necessary or appropriate to comply, or to evidence or further evidence required compliance, with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder). For purposes of this Agreement, all rights to payments and benefits hereunder shall be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Section 409A of the Code. If the Executive is a key employee (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) and any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, then payment of any amount or provision of any benefit under this Agreement which is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred for six (6) months after termination of Executive’s employment or, if earlier, Executive’s death, as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “409A Deferral Period”). In the event such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at the Executive’s expense, with the Executive having a right to reimbursement from the Company once the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled. For purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment shall mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code where it is reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after such date or that the level of bona fide services Executive would perform after that date (whether as an employee or independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or, if lesser, Executive’s period of service).

21.  Mandatory Reduction of Payments in Certain Events. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, prior to the making of any Payment to Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to Executive of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the net benefit to

15

Executive if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). In that event, cash payments shall be modified or reduced first and then any other benefits. The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the foregoing sentence shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive, at the Company’s expense (the “Accounting Firm”), and the Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and 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 Payments which Executive was entitled to, but did not receive pursuant to this Section 21, could have been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”). In such event, 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.

22.  Entire Agreement. Except as provided in the next sentence, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and it supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. It is further specifically agreed and acknowledged that, except as provided herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to severance payments or benefits under any severance or similar plan, program, arrangement or agreement of or with the Company for any termination of employment occurring while this Agreement is in effect.
