The exercise price of such 60,000 Options was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 29, 2005 of $13.82 per share. In the event the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated, the Executive will only be permitted to exercise vested Options (determined pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth herein) within the ninety (90) day period following such termination. The Options will vest in equal one-third increments upon the date of grant and on the next two anniversaries of such grant, and to the extent unvested, shall vest in their entirety upon a Change of Control, as defined, or upon termination of employment pursuant to Subsections 4(d) or 4(e) hereof (the “Vesting Schedule”).

The fair market value of the Stock shall be determined as of January 25, 2006 in accordance with a filing to be made by Executive pursuant to an election made by Executive pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. The options and shares shall be duly noted on the Company’s books and records.

4.             Termination of Employment.

(a)           By Death. If the Executive dies prior to the expiration of the Employment Term, his bonuses pursuant to Section 3(c) (if any), and accrued but unused vacation will be prorated through the day of his death and shall be paid to his beneficiaries or estate within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s death; provided that the manner and time frame in which the bonuses will be paid shall be pursuant to Section 4(f). In addition, Executive agrees to enroll in the Company’s life insurance plan, and Company will provide a benefit to Executive’s estate equal to the amount, if any, such life insurance benefit is less than Executive’s Annual Base Salary hereunder. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall terminate.

(b)           By Disability. If the Executive becomes “Permanently Disabled” (as defined below) prior to the expiration of the Employment Term, then the Company shall be entitled to terminate his employment, subject to the requirements of applicable law, and the Executive shall be entitled to receive disability benefits in accordance with any applicable disability policy maintained by the Company as of the date of such disability, in which policy Executive agrees to enroll. In the event of such termination, the Executive will be paid an amount, if any, by which amounts paid under such disability policy are less than Executive’s Annual Base Salary hereunder, and his bonuses pursuant to Section 3(c) (if any) will be prorated through the date of termination and paid to him on the date of termination. Additionally the Executive shall receive a cash lump sum payment on the date of termination for accrued but unused vacation for the year of termination, and thereafter the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive hereunder other than to provide the Executive with the benefits as set forth in this subparagraph. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the Executive shall be deemed “Permanently Disabled” when, and only when, the Company determines, after consultation with the Executive’s physician, that the Executive suffers a physical or mental disability that prevents the Executive from performing the essential duties of his position with reasonable accommodations as may be required by law: (i) for a period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days; or (ii) for an aggregate of one hundred fifty (150) business days in any twelve (12) month period.

(c)           By the Company For Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive for “Cause” (as defined below), then the Company shall pay to the Executive within ten (10) days his accrued Base Salary and accrued but unused vacation plus all business expenses and the car allowance through the date of such termination, and thereafter the Company shall have no obligations to the Executive hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) any act or omission that constitutes a material breach by the Executive of any of his obligations under this Agreement, or under any other material agreement with, or material written policy of the Company, which act or omission is not cured within thirty (30) days of the Company providing the Executive with notice of the act, omission, or failure deemed to constitute Cause; (ii) the failure or refusal by the Executive to follow any lawful reasonable written direction of the Board of Directors, which failure or refusal is not cured within thirty (30) days of the Company providing the Executive with reasonably detailed written notice of the failure or refusal deemed to constitute Cause; (iii) the conviction of the Executive of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or the perpetration by the Executive of a fraud; or (iv) any other willful act or omission by the Executive, which is or will be materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to, the Company, which act or omission is not cured within thirty (30) days of the Company providing the Executive with reasonably detailed written notice of the act or omission deemed to constitute Cause.

(d)           By the Executive For Good Reason. The Executive may terminate, without liability, the Employment Term for “Good Reason” (as defined below) upon advance written notice of thirty (30) business days to the Company if such circumstance claimed to constitute Good Reason is not cured within such 30-day period. Within ten (10) days after termination, the Company shall then pay to the Executive a lump sum payment equal to one times his Annual Base Salary to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 3(a). In addition, the Company shall pay to the Executive within ten (10) days of termination his accrued Base Salary, accrued but unused vacation, outstanding business expenses, and pro-rated bonuses pursuant to Section 3(c) (if any) through the date of such termination. The Company will also provide the Executive with continued coverage under the Company’s benefit plans and the benefits described in Sections 3(d), 3(e) and 3(f) herein for a period of one (1) year or at Executive’s option solely with respect to automobile and related expenses and country club memberships a lump sum payment in such amount equal to said benefits for a twelve (12) month period to be paid on the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such coverage cannot be continued to the Executive after such termination of employment, the Company shall, within ten (10) days of such termination, pay the Executive in a lump sum an amount equivalent to the value of such coverage. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall terminate. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall exist if:  (i) there is a permanent assignment to the Executive of a role materially inconsistent with, or which constitutes a material adverse diminution in, the Executive’s position, duties, responsibilities, or status with the Company, or a material adverse diminution in the Executive’s reporting responsibilities, title, or offices; or (ii) there is a material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other material agreement between the Company and the Executive or (iv) Executive is required to relocate his principal place of employment to a location outside a radius of 50 miles from Company’s offices, in Lowell, Massachusetts headquarters.

(e)           By the Company other than by Reason of Death, Disability, or Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for any reason other than death, disability, or Cause, the Company shall pay to the Executive on the date of termination a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (i) the compensation due Executive under this Agreement for the remainder of the Initial Term if terminated during the Initial Term but not exceed 24 months; or (ii) one (1) year of Base Salary. In addition, the Company shall pay to the Executive his accrued Base Salary, accrued but unused vacation, and pro-rated bonuses pursuant to Section 3(c) (if any) through the date of such termination plus reimbursement for all business expenses. Further, the Company shall pay all of the benefits described in Sections 3(d), 3(e) and 3(f) herein for the period described in the first sentence of this Subsection 4(e) following such termination or at Executive’s option solely with respect to automobile and related expenses and country club memberships in a lump sum payment equal to such amount to be paid on the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such coverage cannot be continued to the Executive after such termination of employment, the Company shall, within ten (10) days of such termination, pay the Executive in a lump sum an amount equivalent to the value of such coverage. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall terminate.

(f)            Bonus Calculation. The pro rata bonuses pursuant to Section 3(c) payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 4(a), (b), (d), or (e) shall include any unpaid bonuses for the prior fiscal year. The pro rata bonuses for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs will be calculated at the end of the fiscal year in question according to the following method. The Company and/or Board shall determine the amount that would have been paid to the Executive as if he had remained employed through the end of the fiscal year and multiply that amount by the number of days of such fiscal year during which the Executive was employed by the Company divided by 365 days.

5.             Proprietary Information.

(a)           Defined. “Proprietary Information” is all proprietary, secret, or confidential information pertaining to the business of the Company.
