Such disability shall be certified by a duly licensed physician, and in the event Executive and Employer disagree, each shall select a duly licensed physician to examine Executive and the two physicians shall appoint a third duly licensed physician to examine Executive, in which case the findings of a majority shall control. The cost involved in such examination shall be borne by Company. It is understood that Executive’s occasional sickness or other incapacity of short duration (a “temporary disability”) may not result in Executive having a disability, however, any such temporary disability may constitute disability if such temporary disability is prolonged or recurring.

8

be reconciled with amounts due to Employer from Executive. Each party shall be entitled to offset against any amounts that may be due to the other party such amounts as are due from such other party to it or him. The parties shall proceed expeditiously to accomplish the foregoing, and the resulting amount due from one party to the other shall be paid promptly after it is determined but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the year of Executive’s termination of employment.

H. Executive Cooperation. Following any notice of termination, Executive shall fully cooperate with Employer in all matters relating to the winding up of Executive’s pending work on behalf of Employer and the orderly transfer of any such pending work to such other Executives of Employer as may be designated by Employer.

Executive further agrees to cooperate with and provide assistance to Employer and its legal counsel in connection with any litigation (including arbitration or administrative hearings) or investigation affecting Employer, in which (in the reasonable judgment of Employer) Executive’s assistance or cooperation is needed.

7. Severance. In the event of a termination by Employer without Cause as defined in Section 6(B), by Executive for Good Reason as defined in Section 6(C), or in the case of Corporate Dissolution as defined in Section 6(F) (each a “Qualifying Termination”), Employer agrees to provide Executive with the following payments and benefits, which shall be referred to as “Severance.” As a condition of receiving the Severance hereunder, Executive will be required to execute a release agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Executive and Employer.

A. Severance Pay.

1. In the event of a Qualifying Termination occurring on or after the Effective Date until the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Employer shall provide Executive with Severance Pay in an amount that is equal to two and one-half times (2 1/2 x) Executive’s then current annual Base Salary.

2. In the event of a Qualifying Termination occurring on or after the first anniversary of the Effective Date until the second anniversary of the Effective Date, Employer shall provide Executive with Severance Pay in an amount that is equal to one and one half times (1.5 x) Executive’s then current annual Base Salary.

9

3. In the event of a Qualifying Termination occurring on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date or any time thereafter, Employer shall provide Executive with Severance Pay in an amount that is equal to one times (1 x) Executive’s then current annual Base Salary.

Severance Pay shall be less such amounts required to be withheld by law. The Severance Pay shall be paid following termination in equal installments per Employer’s regular pay schedule over the length of the period of Base Salary on which the amount of Severance Pay is based (e.g. one-year period if Qualifying Termination occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date), commencing on the next regular payroll date following after the date the revocation period for the release agreement described below has expired and no revocation has occurred. If any payment hereunder fails to be exempt from Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A, and the applicable revocation period spans two calendar years, commencement of payment of the installments will not occur until the second calendar year and after the release agreement has become effective.

B. Benefits Continuation. In addition to Severance Pay, if Executive elects continuation coverage under one or more of Employer’s health plans (“Health Plans”) pursuant to the continuation coverage terms of such Health Plan(s) and as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), then for a period equal to the lesser of eighteen (18) months or the number of months of Severance Pay (“Benefits Continuation Period”), Executive shall pay a reduced, monthly COBRA premium for continuation coverage. The monthly premium to be paid by Executive shall be equal to the payroll deduction contribution then being paid, each month, by Employer’s actively employed, similarly situated executives, for the selected Health Plans’ coverage. Such coverage shall be provided in accordance with terms of the Health Plan(s) as may exist or may be amended from time to time. If Executive elects to continue COBRA coverage beyond the Benefits Continuation Period, Executive will be responsible for payment of the full, regular COBRA premium for any coverage continuation thereafter. In the event the Health Plan for which Executive’s COBRA coverage is provided is subject to the nondiscrimination rules under section 105(h) of the Code, the amount of the payment of the full, regular COBRA premium less the amount paid by Executive will be treated as taxable income to Executive.

8. Confidential Information.

A. Non-Disclosure. Executive shall, during the course of Executive’s employment and at all times subsequent to Executive’s employment, hold in strictest and total confidence all Confidential Information. Executive will at no time, except as authorized by Employer in writing or as required by any law, rule or regulation after providing prior written notice to Employer within sufficient time for Employer to object to production or disclosure or quash subpoenas related to the same, directly or indirectly, use for Executive’s benefit or for the benefit of others, or disclose, communicate, divulge, furnish to, or convey to any other person, firm, or corporation, any Confidential Information, nor shall Executive permit any other person or entity to use Confidential Information in competition with Employer. Executive acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information to or use of the same by third parties would greatly affect the effective and successful conduct of the business of Employer and the goodwill of Employer, and that any breach of the terms of this subsection (A) shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

10

B. Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) Notice. Pursuant to 18 USC § 1833(b), Executive may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret: (i) made in confidence to a government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; and/or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, should Executive pursue legal action against Employer for retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose a trade secret to his/her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.

D. Non-Solicitation of Employees. During Executive’s employment and during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not (i) participate, directly or indirectly, in or be materially involved in any manner in the hiring or any attempt to hire as an employee, officer, director, consultant, or advisor any person who is, at the time of such hiring or attempted hiring, or was within six (6) months of such hiring or attempted hiring, an employee of Employer; or (ii) otherwise, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any employee of Employer or of any affiliate of Employer to leave the employ of Employer.

E. Reasonableness of Restrictions. It is the intention of the parties to restrict the activities of Executive under this Section 9 only to the extent necessary for the protection of legitimate business interests of Employer. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s covenant not to compete unfairly is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Employer, and that irreparable harm and damage will be done to Employer in the event that Executive competes unfairly with Employer. Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section titled “Restrictive Covenants” and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth herein are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business interests of Employer. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the geographic and durational limitations set forth herein are reasonable under the circumstances considering Executive’s access to Employer’s Confidential Information and customer relationships

13

and other relevant factors, and agrees that Employer’s need for the protection afforded herein is greater than any hardship Executive might experience by complying with the terms set forth therein. However, the parties specifically covenant and agree that should any of the provisions set forth therein, under any set of circumstances not now foreseen by the parties, be deemed too broad for such purpose, said provisions will nevertheless be valid and enforceable to the extent necessary for such protection.

F. Tolling. In the event of a breach by Executive of this Section entitled “Restrictive Covenants,” then the restrictive periods referenced herein shall be tolled and shall begin to run or recommence running only at such time as the breach is alleviated or remedied.

10. Remedies. In the event of the breach by Executive of any of the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Employer may terminate the employment of the Executive in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. It is further agreed that any breach or evasion of any of the terms of this Agreement by Executive will result in immediate and irreparable injury to Employer and will authorize recourse to injunction and/or specific performance as well as to other legal or equitable remedies to which Employer may be entitled. In addition to any other remedies that it may have in law or equity, Employer also may require an accounting and repayment to Employer of all profits, compensation, remuneration or other benefits realized, directly or indirectly, as a result of such breaches by the Executive or by a competitor’s business controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Executive. No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies by Employer shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies. If either party shall commence a proceeding against the other to enforce and/or recover damages for breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable costs and expenses of enforcement and collection of any and all remedies and damages, or all reasonable costs and expenses of defense, as the case may be. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees.

11. Assignability. This Agreement may be assigned by Employer to any other entity wholly-owned by Employer or to any other entity which purchases substantially all of the assets of Employer or acquires a majority of the stock of Employer. The services to be performed by Executive hereunder are personal in nature and, therefore, Executive shall not assign Executive’s rights or delegate Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation not herein permitted shall be null and void.

12. Binding Effect; Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the provisions of Section 11, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Employer and its successors or assigns, and it shall be binding upon Executive and Executive’s heirs, successors, and assigns. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any other person or entity.

13. Disclosure of Existence of Agreement. To preserve Employer’s rights under this Agreement, Employer may advise any third party of the existence of this Agreement and its terms, and Executive specifically releases and agrees to indemnify and hold Employer harmless from any liability for doing so.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made in the State of Missouri, notwithstanding either the place of execution hereof, nor the performance of any acts in connection herewith or hereunder in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Missouri or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Missouri

15. Venue and Jurisdiction. The exclusive venue and jurisdiction for any litigation concerning this Agreement shall be in the Circuit Court for the 11^th Judicial District, St. Charles County, Missouri, unless that court lacks jurisdiction, in which case such action shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Any of the foregoing courts shall have personal jurisdiction over Executive and jurisdiction over matters arising out of this Agreement, and Executive hereby irrevocably waives any and all objections to personal jurisdiction, venue or convenience in the aforementioned courts.

16. Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or condition at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. Waiver by either party hereto of any breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof or as a waiver by any other entity.

17. Severability. Should any one or more sections of this Agreement be found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining sections contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In addition, if any section hereof is found to be partially enforceable, then it shall be enforced to that extent. A court with jurisdiction over the matters contained in this Agreement shall have the authority to revise the language hereof to the extent necessary to make any such section or covenant of this Agreement enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18. Notices. All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either (a) by actual delivery of the notice to the party entitled thereto or (b) by depositing the same with the United States Postal Service, certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address of the party entitled thereto.

19. Survival. All of those provisions of this Agreement that require performance by either party following termination of Employee’s employment shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

20. General Interpretive Principles. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction against the drafting party. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless context otherwise requires:

A. the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision;

B. the terms “include,” “including,” and similar terms shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without being limited to;”

C. relative to the determining of any period of time, “from” means “from and including” and “to” and “through” mean “to and including;”

D. “or,” “either” and “any” are not exclusive;

E. the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or;” and

F. the headings contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

21. Section 409A.

A. This Agreement shall at all times be administered and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. In the event that any provision of this Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Section 409A, Employer, in exercise of its sole discretion and without consent of Executive, may amend or modify this Agreement in any manner to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A.

B. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder, and will be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation

16

from service or as a short-term deferral will be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement will be treated as a separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment will only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, Executive is a “specified Executive,” determined in accordance with Section 409A, any payments and benefits provided under this Agreement that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A that are provided to Executive on account of Executive’ s separation from service will not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of Executive’s termination date (“Specified Executive Payment Date”). The aggregate amount of any payments that would otherwise have been made during such six-month period will be paid in a lump sum on the Specified Executive Payment Date without interest and, thereafter, any remaining payments will be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule. If Executive dies during the six-month period, any delayed payments will be paid to Executive’s estate in a lump sum within thirty (30) calendar days after Executive’s death.

D. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement or any document contemplated herein is determined to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

22. Counterparts. For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. A signature of a party by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including a .pdf copy sent by e-mail) shall be deemed to constitute an original and fully effective signature of such party.

23. Entire Agreement; Amendments. The provisions hereof constitute the entire and only agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, commitments, representations, understandings, or negotiations, oral or written, and all other communications relating to the subject matter hereof. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless set forth in a document that purports to amend this Agreement and is executed by all parties hereto.
