Such annual amount shall be paid each year for ten (10) years following his Retirement; it being recognized that, as per Executive’s original employment agreement, the Executive as of August 1, 2007, has rendered to the Company ten years of service (including the period from August, 1997 through and including November, 1999 rendered as service to the Company's predecessor, Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated).

For purposes of Section 6 of this Employment Agreement and without effect upon whether the Executive is deemed to be retired under the CIC Agreement, the Executive will be deemed to have a Retirement upon his Separation From Service with the Company for any reason other than for Cause.

The Executive (or, if applicable after the Executive’s death, his spouse) shall be charged for such deemed participation at a rate equal to the monthly rate the Medical Plan charges former participants and spouses eligible for continuation coverage under COBRA, plus the rate payable by the employer, as each such COBRA rate is adjusted from time to time. The Company may impute the amounts due from the Executive and his spouse in lieu of creating an administrative system for monthly payment and collection of the COBRA rate.

8. Binding Agreement. The Company will use its best efforts to 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) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Employment Agreement and the CIC Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause for purposes of this Employment Agreement and the CIC Agreement. For purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be the Date of Termination.

9.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed to have been effectively made or given if personally delivered at the address first above written or such other address as may be given by one party to the other.
