2. Bonus. For each fiscal year, Executive shall be eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus ("Discretionary Cash Bonus") payable in cash based on a target level of 25% of Executive's Base Salary.

In such review, Employer, in its reasonable discretion, shall consider increasing Executive's Base Salary and other compensation based on relevant factors such as Executive's performance, Employer's accomplishments, increase or decrease in Executive's responsibilities, and cost of living increases. Any Base Salary increases normally are to be effective on such date as may be specified by Employer.

6. Reimbursement. Employer shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses that Executive incurs in connection with the business of Employer or any of its subsidiaries and in the performance of Executive's duties under this Agreement. Employer shall also reimburse Executive for membership fees and expenses related to Executive's membership in professional organizations, clubs, societies and groups as may be approved by the Board of Directors from time to time, subject to such rules, regulations and record-keeping requirements as may be established from time to time by the Board.

7. Termination. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply during (i) the Term of Employment and (ii) after expiration of the Term of Employment if Executive's employment continues without a written agreement.

1. Termination for Cause. (i) Employer may terminate Executive's employment for "Cause" (as defined below), effective 14 days following written notice to Executive from Employer reasonably describing the basis for the contemplated termination. Executive shall have a right during this 14-day period to respond in writing and in person prior to Employer's final determination of Cause. During the period between such notice and final determination, the Board may suspend the performance of Executive's duties under this Agreement and direct Executive's non-attendance at work. However, Executive's right to compensation under this Agreement shall continue through and to any final termination of employment for cause. Any termination under this Section 7(a) shall serve to relieve Executive of all his duties and authority on behalf of Employer as of the date such notice states the termination is to take effect. All obligations of Employer to Executive hereunder shall terminate as of the effective date of any such termination, except for obligations accrued prior to such effective date.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, termination for "Cause" shall include any of the following:

1. Fraud, malfeasance, or embezzlement against Employer's assets or conviction of any felony;

2. Except under circumstances of disability contemplated by the provisions of Section 7(f), cessation of Executive's performance of Executive's duties hereunder or deliberate and substantial failure to perform them in a capable and conscientious manner;

3. Violation of the provisions of Sections 12 or 13; or

4. Deliberate and substantial breach of Executive's material obligations under any other provision hereof that is not cured within 30 days after notice to Executive of the breach.

2. Termination Without Cause. (i) The Company may terminate Executive's employment for any reason other than Cause and if it does so shall pay Executive a lump sum equal to one month's Base Salary for each completed full year of service as an officer of the Company as of the termination date up to a maximum payment of 24 months' Base Salary, or six months' Base Salary, whichever is greater. If Executive terminates his employment and this Agreement for "Good Reason," he will be entitled to the payments and benefits under this Section 7(b). For purposes of this Section 7(b), "Good Reason" means (i) a material change in the location where Executive is required to work or (ii) a material breach of this Agreement by Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither condition shall constitute "Good Reason" unless Executive provides notice to Employer within 90 days of the initial existence of the condition and Employer fails to cure the condition within 30 days of the date of Executive's notice, upon which failure to cure Executive's employment shall terminate immediately with Good Reason. If Employer cures the condition within the 30 day period, Employer shall have no obligation to pay the amount described in this Section 7(b). The lump sum payable under this Section 7(b) shall be paid within 30 days after Executive's termination of employment, subject to the provisions of Section 7(j).

3. Voluntary Termination. On termination by Executive of Executive's employment without Cause, Employer shall pay Executive a lump sum equal to (i) two months' Base Salary if Executive has not provided at least six months' prior written notice to Employer or (ii) six months' Base salary if Executive has provided at least six months' prior written notice to Employer.

4. Voluntary Retirement. Executive may voluntarily retire after age 62½ years or upon attaining 20 years of service as an officer of Employer, Executive shall receive the severance benefits described under Section 7(b), i.e., as if the severance was a termination without cause by Employer. In order to exercise his rights under this Section 7(d), Executive shall provide Employer at least six months' prior written notice of his voluntary retirement. The amount due to Executive under this Section 7(d) shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days following Executive's termination of employment, subject to the provisions of Section 7(j).

5. Termination Upon Certain Changes in Control. (i) If (A) a Change in Control Event (as defined below) shall occur and (B) if within the twelve month period immediately following the Change in Control Event, (1) the Company or its successor terminates Executive's employment without Cause, or  (2) Executive terminates his employment on account of a Material Change (as defined below), Executive shall receive a lump sum severance payment equal to two times the sum of (x) Executive's Base Salary and (y) a Discretionary Cash Bonus (based on the average Discretionary Cash Bonus paid for the preceding three fiscal years), prorated for the portion of the fiscal year during which Executive was employed before termination pursuant to this section 7(e). Executive shall be entitled to the accelerated vesting of all options and restricted stock awards issued to Executive and all options held by Executive on the termination date shall be exercisable for the remainder of their original term. The lump sum payment shall be made within 30 days following Executive's termination of employment, subject to the provisions of Section 7(j).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the aggregate amounts payable pursuant to Section 7(e)(i), either alone or together with any other payments which Executive has the right to receive either directly or indirectly from Employer or any of its affiliates, would be subject to an excise tax as an "excess parachute payment" under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), Executive hereby agrees that such aggregate amounts payable hereunder shall be reduced to an amount that does not exceed 2.99 times Executive's "base amount," as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(3) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The aggregate amount shall be reduced in the following order: first, the amount determined under Section 7(b)(i)(y), next the amount determined under Section 7(b)(i)(x), and finally, the amount attributable to the acceleration of vesting of options and restricted stock. All determinations of, and reductions in "excess parachute payments" called for in this Section 7(e)(ii) shall be made by Grant Thornton LLP or such other independent public accounting firm with a national reputation as shall be selected by Employer. Employer shall bear all costs associated with obtaining such determinations.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Material Change" shall occur if, without Executive's consent:

1. There is a material diminution in Executive's Base Salary (from the amount in effect on the date of the Change in Control);

2. There is a material diminution in Executive's authority, duties, or responsibilities;

3. There is a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor (the Chief Executive Officer) to whom Executive is required to report;

4. There is a material diminution in the budget over which Executive retains authority;

5. There is a material change in the geographic location at which Executive is required to perform services; or

6. There is any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

The occurrence of any of the conditions constitute a Material Change provided (x) Executive gives written notice to Employer of the existence of the condition giving rise to a Material Change and (y) Employer fails to cure such condition to Executive's reasonable satisfaction within 10 days following the date of Executive's notice.

(iv) "Change in Control Event" means the occurrence of any of the following:

1. The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% of either (1) the then outstanding shares of common stock of Employer (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (2) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities (assuming the conversion of all securities of Employer held by the Person that are convertible into voting securities of Employer) of Employer entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (A), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (1) any acquisition directly from Employer as authorized by the board of directors of Employer, (2) any acquisition by Employer, including any acquisition which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, is the sole cause for increasing the percentage of shares beneficially owned by any such Person to more than the applicable percentage set forth above, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Employer or any corporation controlled by Employer or (4) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 7(e)(iv)(C).

2. Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the board of directors of Employer (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason within any period of 24 months to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by Employer's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board, shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the board of directors of Employer.

3. Consummation by Employer of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Employer or the acquisition of assets of another corporation (a "Business Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (1) more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns Employer or all or substantially all of Employer's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) is represented by Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively, that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination) and such ownership of common stock and voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of Employer or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination.

4. Approval by the stockholders of Employer of a complete liquidation or dissolution of Employer.

6. Termination For Disability. If Executive is unable to perform Executive's services by reason of illness or incapacity for a period of more than six consecutive months, Employer may terminate Executive's employment. Employer shall receive a credit against Executive's Base Salary for any disability compensation benefit for the same calendar period received by Executive from Worker's Compensation or any commercial insurance carrier under Sections 9 and 10 while Executive is employed with Employer. If Executive's employment is terminated under this Section 7(f) Executive shall receive one month of Base Salary for each completed year of service as an officer of Employer up to a maximum of 24 months of Base Salary and a Discretionary Cash Bonus (comparable to that paid to other executives on a relative basis for the fiscal year during which the disability event occurs) prorated for the portion of the fiscal year for which Executive worked prior to his disability. For this purpose, "illness or incapacity" or "disability" shall mean a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or to last for a continuous period of at least twelve months and that prevents Executive from engaging in any substantial gainful activity.

7. Death During Employment. If Executive dies during the term of his employment under this Agreement, Employer shall pay to the estate or trust of Executive the Base Salary that would otherwise be payable to Executive up to the end of the sixth month after the month in which his death occurs. If, by that time, Executive's estate or trust has not received any proceeds of the life insurance provided for in section 9, Employer shall continue Executive's Base Salary hereunder for up to an additional three months, or until such life insurance proceeds are received, whichever is earlier ("Reimbursable Payments"), provided that Executive's estate or trust shall reimburse Employer for any such Reimbursable Payments made from the proceeds of such life insurance. All payments of compensation under this Section 7(g) shall be paid on the 15th and final day of each month according to Employer's customary payroll practices.

8. Return of Documents. Upon the expiration or termination of Executive's employment, Executive or Executive's legal representative upon request shall promptly deliver to Employer all originals and all duplicates or copies of all documents, records, notebooks and similar repositories of or containing Confidential Information as defined in Section 13 then in his possession, whether prepared by Executive or not.

9. Other Benefits. Upon any termination of Executive's employment under the provisions of Sections 7(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g), if Executive has attained 62½ years of age on or before the termination date or completed at least 20 complete years of service as an officer of Employer, (i) Executive and his dependent(s) shall be entitled to continue to participate in Employer's health care and hospitalization plan(s) ("health plans") at the same cost as active employees of Employer until Executive attains age 65; provided that, such continued coverage does not subject Employer to any additional tax or penalties; and (ii) Executive's stock options, both incentive and nonqualified, and restricted stock shall vest in full as of the day before the date on which they would otherwise have been forfeited for failure to vest under the terms of Employer's applicable plans and all options held by executive on the termination date shall be exercisable for the remainder of their original term, and (iii) at Executive's election, Employer shall assign to Executive or Executives designees any life and disability insurance policies or other fringe benefits that may be assigned. Any continued cost of such policies or benefits shall be Executive's sole responsibility.

10. Section 409A. It is the intent of the parties that all payments and benefits under this Agreement shall comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A"), to the extent subject thereto, and to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Section 409A.

1. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Employer for purposes of any payments under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A until Executive has had a "separation from service" from Employer within the meaning of Section 409A.

2. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a "separate payment" for purposes of Section 409A.

3. To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and penalties, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided during the six month period immediately following Executive's separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months after Executive's separation from service (or, if earlier, Executive's death).

4. Payments under Sections 7(b) and (e) are intended to qualify to the maximum extent possible as "short-term deferrals" exempt from the application of Section 409A. Any payments and benefits that do not so qualify are intended to qualify for the Section 409A exemption set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (which exempts from Section 409A certain payments made upon an "involuntary separation from service"). To the extent that payments made pursuant to Sections (b) and (e) (including benefits under Section 9(a)) are made upon an "involuntary separation from service" but exceed the exemption threshold set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), the exemption will be first applied to any continued health and welfare benefits payable (to the extent such benefits are subject to Section 409A and are payable within six months from Executive's separation from service as defined for purposes of Section 409A (the "Delayed Payment Date") and thereafter to any cash payments until the exemption has been applied in full. Any payments under Sections 7(b) and (e) that are not exempted form Section 409A and that are payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date shall be withheld by Employer and paid to Executive on the Delayed Payment Date or as soon thereafter as administratively feasible.

5. To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits to Executive) during one year shall not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year.

6. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit Employer or Executive from making use of any Section 409A exemption that may be applicable to a payment or benefit under this Agreement.

7. Employer makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A. Employee acknowledges that Employer has advised Employee to seek his own counsel with respect to the federal, state, or local tax treatment of any payments or benefits under this Agreement, including the treatment of payments under Section 409A.

8. Paid Time Off. Executive shall be entitled each year to 28 paid days off plus six holiday paid days off during which time his compensation shall be paid in full. Paid time off accrued during each calendar year must be used by the end of each calendar year, or will be lost, and will not accrue from one calendar year to the next, provided however that Executive shall be eligible to receive payment from Employer for any unused paid time off in accordance with any such Company policy then in effect. Exceptions to the foregoing non-accrual policy may be provided under terms and conditions approved in writing by resolution of the Board of Directors or its compensation committee in such body's sole discretion based on prolonged extra-ordinary work demands preventing Executive's timely taking vacation.

9. Insurance for the Benefit of Executive.

1. Medical Insurance. Executive and his dependents shall be covered by Employer's medical insurance in accordance with Employer's health care/medical insurance and hospitalization plan(s), in effect from time to time, the premiums for which shall be paid by Executive.

10. Insurance for the Benefit of Employer. In addition to the rights to the insurance specified in Section 9 (b), Employer shall have the right from time to time to apply for and take out in its name and at its own expense, life, health or other insurance upon Executive in any sum or sums which may be deemed necessary by Employer to protect its interest under this Agreement and Executive shall do all such things as may be necessary to assist in the procuring of such insurance by making a proper application therefore as may be required by the insurance company and submitting to the usual and customary medical examinations. Executive, in Executive's capacity as Executive, shall have no right, title or interest in or to such insurance, but the same shall be solely for the benefit of Employer and any amounts payable thereunder shall be solely payable to such Employer.

11. Representation and Warranty. Executive represents and warrants that he is not now, and will not be on the date of commencement of this Agreement, a party to any agreement, contract or understanding, whether of employment, agency or otherwise, which would in any way restrict or prohibit Executive from undertaking and performing Executive's duties in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

1. Non-Competition. Executive agrees and covenants that, without the Board's prior written consent and except on behalf of Employer, he will not in any manner, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, assist or be associated in any manner with any person, firm or corporation anywhere in the world whose business competes with Employer or any subsidiary of Employer.
