     (a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may provide the Executive with written notice in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that within the thirty (30)-day period after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. In addition, if a physician selected by the Executive determines that the Disability of the Executive has occurred, the Executive (or his representative) may provide the Company with written notice in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement of the Executive’s intention to terminate his employment. In such event, the Disability Effective Date shall be thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Company.

     (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause.

     (c) Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive at any time during the Employment Period for Good Reason.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means 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 Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date, in the case of a notice by the Company, shall be not more than 30 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, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

     (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” 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 receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be;

          (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive receives notice of such termination; and

          (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

5. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.

     (a) Benefit Obligation and Accrued Obligation Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, Benefit Obligation shall mean all benefits to which the Executive (or his designated beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable) is entitled or vested (or becomes entitled or vested as a result of termination) under the terms of all employee benefit and compensation plans, agreements and arrangements (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) in which the Executive is a participant as of the Date of Termination. Accrued Obligation means the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination for periods through but not following his Separation From Service and (2) any accrued vacation pay earned by the Executive, in each case, to the extent not theretofore paid.

     (b) Death, Disability, Good Reason or Other than For Cause. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason:

          (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries or representatives as applicable) in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the Accrued Obligation; and

          (ii) The Company shall pay or cause the Executive to be paid the Benefit Obligation at the times specified in and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (c) Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) the Accrued Obligation and (y) the Benefit Obligation in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (d) Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment during the Employment Period for any reason other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s employment shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligation and the Benefit Obligation and the rights provided in Section 6. In such case, the Accrued Obligation shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination and the Benefit Obligation shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

6. Other Rights.

     (a) Except as provided herein, 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 or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans or any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

9. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and 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 personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     (b) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, exchange offer, operation of law or otherwise (including any purchase, merger, amalgamation, Corporate Transaction or other transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or Company’s Assets to expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as provided above.

If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may provide the Executive with written notice in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that within the thirty (30)-day period after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties.

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,

from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

          (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be;

          (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive receives notice of such termination; and

Accrued Obligation means the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination for periods through but not following his Separation From Service and (2) any accrued vacation pay earned by the Executive, in each case, to the extent not theretofore paid.

     (b) Death, Disability, Good Reason or Other than For Cause. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason:

          (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries or representatives as applicable) in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the Accrued Obligation; and

          (ii) The Company shall pay or cause the Executive to be paid the Benefit Obligation at the times specified in and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (c) Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) the Accrued Obligation and (y) the Benefit Obligation in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (d) Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment during the Employment Period for any reason other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s employment shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligation and the Benefit Obligation and the rights provided in Section 6. In such case, the Accrued Obligation shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination and the Benefit Obligation shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

6. Other Rights.

     (a) Except as provided herein, 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 or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans or any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate

or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

9. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and 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 personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     (b) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, exchange offer, operation of law or otherwise (including any purchase, merger, amalgamation, Corporate Transaction or other transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or Company’s Assets to expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as provided above.

In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that within the thirty (30)-day period after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means 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 Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date, in the case of a notice by the Company, shall be not more than 30 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, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

     (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” 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 receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be;

          (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive receives notice of such termination; and

Accrued Obligation means the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination for periods through but not following his Separation From Service and (2) any accrued vacation pay earned by the Executive, in each case, to the extent not theretofore paid.

     (b) Death, Disability, Good Reason or Other than For Cause. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason:

          (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries or representatives as applicable) in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the Accrued Obligation; and

          (ii) The Company shall pay or cause the Executive to be paid the Benefit Obligation at the times specified in and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (c) Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) the Accrued Obligation and (y) the Benefit Obligation in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (d) Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment during the Employment Period for any reason other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s employment shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligation and the Benefit Obligation and the rights provided in Section 6. In such case, the Accrued Obligation shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination and the Benefit Obligation shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

6. Other Rights.

     (a) Except as provided herein, 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 or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans or any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

9. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and 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 personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     (b) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, exchange offer, operation of law or otherwise (including any purchase, merger, amalgamation, Corporate Transaction or other transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or Company’s Assets to expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as provided above.

As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliated companies” shall include any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.

4. Termination of Employment.

     (a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may provide the Executive with written notice in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that within the thirty (30)-day period after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. In addition, if a physician selected by the Executive determines that the Disability of the Executive has occurred, the Executive (or his representative) may provide the Company with written notice in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement of the Executive’s intention to terminate his employment. In such event, the Disability Effective Date shall be thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Company.

     (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause.

     (c) Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive at any time during the Employment Period for Good Reason.

     (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination during the Employment Period by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 10(b) of the Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means 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 Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date, in the case of a notice by the Company, shall be not more than 30 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, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

     (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” 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 receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be;

          (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive receives notice of such termination; and

Accrued Obligation means the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination for periods through but not following his Separation From Service and (2) any accrued vacation pay earned by the Executive, in each case, to the extent not theretofore paid.

     (b) Death, Disability, Good Reason or Other than For Cause. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason:

          (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries or representatives as applicable) in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the Accrued Obligation; and

          (ii) The Company shall pay or cause the Executive to be paid the Benefit Obligation at the times specified in and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (c) Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) the Accrued Obligation and (y) the Benefit Obligation in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (d) Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment during the Employment Period for any reason other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s employment shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligation and the Benefit Obligation and the

rights provided in Section 6. In such case, the Accrued Obligation shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination and the Benefit Obligation shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

6. Other Rights.

     (a) Except as provided herein, 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 or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans or any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

9. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and 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 personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     (b) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, exchange offer, operation of law or otherwise (including any purchase, merger, amalgamation, Corporate Transaction or other transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or Company’s Assets to expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as provided above.

If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may provide the Executive with written notice in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that within the thirty (30)-day period after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties.

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,

from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

          (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be;

          (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive receives notice of such termination; and

Accrued Obligation means the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination for periods through but not following his Separation From Service and (2) any accrued vacation pay earned by the Executive, in each case, to the extent not theretofore paid.

     (b) Death, Disability, Good Reason or Other than For Cause. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason:

          (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries or representatives as applicable) in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the Accrued Obligation; and

          (ii) The Company shall pay or cause the Executive to be paid the Benefit Obligation at the times specified in and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (c) Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) the Accrued Obligation and (y) the Benefit Obligation in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (d) Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment during the Employment Period for any reason other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s employment shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligation and the Benefit Obligation and the rights provided in Section 6. In such case, the Accrued Obligation shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination and the Benefit Obligation shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

6. Other Rights.

     (a) Except as provided herein, 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 or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans or any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate

or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

9. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and 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 personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     (b) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, exchange offer, operation of law or otherwise (including any purchase, merger, amalgamation, Corporate Transaction or other transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or Company’s Assets to expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as provided above.

If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may provide the Executive with written notice in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that within the thirty (30)-day period after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties.

     (c) Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive at any time during the Employment Period for Good Reason.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means 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 Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date, in the case of a notice by the Company, shall be not more than 30 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,

from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

     (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” 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 receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be;

          (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Executive receives notice of such termination; and

Accrued Obligation means the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination for periods through but not following his Separation From Service and (2) any accrued vacation pay earned by the Executive, in each case, to the extent not theretofore paid.

     (b) Death, Disability, Good Reason or Other than For Cause. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason:

          (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries or representatives as applicable) in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the Accrued Obligation; and

          (ii) The Company shall pay or cause the Executive to be paid the Benefit Obligation at the times specified in and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (c) Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) the Accrued Obligation and (y) the Benefit Obligation in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

     (d) Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment during the Employment Period for any reason other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s employment shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligation and the Benefit Obligation and the rights provided in Section 6. In such case, the Accrued Obligation shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination and the Benefit Obligation shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

6. Other Rights.

     (a) Except as provided herein, 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 or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans or any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate

or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

9. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and 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 personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     (b) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, exchange offer, operation of law or otherwise (including any purchase, merger, amalgamation, Corporate Transaction or other transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or Company’s Assets to expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as provided above.

          (ii) The Company shall pay or cause the Executive to be paid the Benefit Obligation at the times specified in and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans.

Except as otherwise provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans or any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate

or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

9. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and 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 personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.
