5.5.    Termination For Cause. The Board may terminate the Executive's employment and the Company's obligations under this Agreement at any time for Cause by giving written notice to the Executive. The Company's required notice of termination shall specify the event or circumstances that constitute Cause. Executive's termination shall be effective as of the date of such notice. Upon termination of the Executive's employment for Cause, the obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate, except for the obligation to pay to the Executive (a) any Base Salary earned through the date of such termination, to the extent theretofore unpaid, and (b) such retirement and other benefits earned and vested (if applicable) by the Executive as of such termination under any employee benefit plan of the Company in which the Executive participates, all of the foregoing to be paid in the normal course for such payments and in accordance with the terms of such plans.

5.6.    Involuntary Termination by the Company without Cause Prior to a Change in Control. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment without Cause at any time during the Term, upon thirty (30) days' written notice; provided that during such notice period, the Company, in its absolute discretion, may relieve the Executive of all his duties, responsibilities and authority with respect to the Company and restrict the Executive's access to Company property. For purposes of this Section 5.6, the Company's delivery of a Nonrenewal Notice to the Executive shall be treated as termination without Cause on the last day of the then current Term.

product of (i) the actual Incentive Bonus Payment for the year of termination multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed days in the year of termination during which the Executive was employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365, and provided that such amount will be paid in the normal course and shall only be paid if the Executive would have become entitled to such amount if he had not terminated his employment, (c) a lump-sum payment equal to the Executive's Base Salary, payable within 30 days following the Executive's termination of employment, provided, however that if the Executive is a “Specified Employee,” as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code, any payments under this clause, if so required, shall be made on the date that is six months and one day after the date of the Executive's termination hereunder and (d) such retirement and other benefits earned by the Executive and vested (if applicable) as of the date of his termination under the terms of any employee benefit plan of the Company in which the Executive participates, including without limitation all vested benefits due under the SERP and other retirement plans all of the foregoing to be paid in the normal course for such payments and in accordance with the terms of such plans. In no event shall the payment in clause (c) be included for purposes of the SERP in Executive's “Compensation,” as that term is defined therein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payments described in clauses (b) and (c) shall be contingent on the Executive's prior execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”) within 60 days following his termination date and shall be paid as specified above or such later date as may be required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

5.7.    Involuntary Termination by the Company or by the Executive for Good Reason Following a Change of Control. If the Company terminates the Executive's employment without Cause during the 12-month period following a Change in Control, or the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment for Good Reason during the 12 months following a Change in Control, the Company's obligations under this Agreement shall terminate except for the Company's obligation to pay to the Executive the following: (a) any Base Salary earned through the date of the Executive's termination of employment, to the extent theretofore unpaid, (b) a lump-sum payment equal to three times the sum of the Executive's Base Salary and average Incentive Bonus Payment paid or payable to the Executive for the three completed years prior to the year of such termination, payable within 30 days following the Executive's termination of employment, provided, however that if the Executive is a Specified Employee, such payment, if so required, shall be made on the date that is six months and one day after the date of the Executive's termination hereunder, (c) such retirement and other benefits earned by the Executive and vested (if applicable) as of the date of his termination under the terms of any employee benefit plan of the Company in which the Executive participates, including without limitation all vested benefits due under the SERP and other retirement plans, all of the foregoing to be paid in the normal course for such payments and in accordance with the terms of such plans, and (d) all outstanding stock options and restricted stock held by the Executive shall become immediately vested and such stock options shall become exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of 30 days or such longer period as provided under the terms of such option. In no event shall the payment in clause (b) be included for purposes of the SERP in Executive's “Compensation,” as that term is defined therein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment described in clause (b) shall be contingent on the Executive's prior execution and non-revocation of the Release within 60 days following his termination date and shall be paid as specified above or such later date as may be required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

5.8.    Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any profits, income or earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of the Executive hereunder.

5.9.    Excise Taxes. If any payment or benefit, or the acceleration of any payment or benefit, the Executive would receive from the Company under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with a Change in Control of the Company (collectively, the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then either (a) such Payments will be reduced or delayed by the minimum amount necessary such that no portion of the Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, or (b) the full amount of the Payments shall be made, whichever, after taking into account all applicable taxes, including the Excise Tax, results in the Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount. If a reduction or delay in the Payments is necessary, such reduction or delay will occur in the following order: (1) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock and option awards (reduced from the highest value to the lowest value under Section 280G of the Code) with the understanding that such awards may be replaced with the right to an equivalent cash payment at such future time because of the delisting of the underlying stock; (2) reduction or delay of cash payments (reduced from the latest payment to the earliest payment); and (3) reduction of other benefits payable to the Executive (reduced from the highest value to the lowest value under Section 280G of the Code). The Company will select a reputable third party professional firm to make all determinations required to be made under this provision. The Company will bear all reasonable expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify, gross-up or otherwise pay or reimburse the Executive for any Excise Tax assessed on any payment or benefit made or provided, or required to be made or provided, to the Executive by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise.

6.Confidential Information. Except as required in the performance of his duties to the Company under this Agreement, the Executive shall not, during or after the Term of this Agreement, use for himself or others, or disclose to others, any confidential information including without limitation, trade secrets, data, know-how, design, developmental or experimental work, Company relationships, computer programs, proprietary information bases and systems, data bases, customer lists, business plans, financial information of or about the Company or any of its affiliates, customers or clients, unless authorized in writing to do so by the Board or the Company's Chief Executive Officer, but excluding any information generally available to the public or information (except information related to the Company) which Executive possessed prior to his employment with the Company. The Executive understands that this undertaking applies to the information of either a technical or commercial or other nature and that any information not made available to the general public is to be considered confidential. The Executive acknowledges that such confidential information as is acquired and used by the Company or its affiliates is a special, valuable and unique asset. All records, files, materials and confidential information obtained by Executive in the course of his employment with the Company are confidential and proprietary and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company or its affiliates, as the case may be.

7.Return of Documents and Property. Upon the termination of Executive's employment from the Company, or at any time upon the request of the Company, Executive (or his heirs or personal representative) shall deliver to the Company (a) all documents and materials containing confidential information relating to the business or affairs of the Company or any of its affiliates, customers or clients and (b) all other documents, materials and other property belonging to the Company or its affiliates, customers or clients that are in the possession or under the control of Executive.

8.Noncompetition. By and in consideration of the salary and benefits to be provided by the Company hereunder, including the severance arrangements set forth herein, and further in consideration of the Executive's exposure to the proprietary information of the Company, the Executive agrees, unless the Executive requests in writing to the Board, and is thereafter authorized in writing to do so by the Board,

that (a) during his employment under this Agreement, and (b)(i) for the one year period following the termination of employment prior to a Change in Control or (ii) the two year period following the termination of employment following a Change in Control, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be employed or otherwise connected in any manner with, including without limitation as a consultant, any business which at any relevant time during said period directly or indirectly competes with the Company or any of its affiliates in any country in which the Company does business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be prohibited during the non-competition period described above from being a passive investor where he owns not more than five percent of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any publicly-held company. The Executive further agrees that during said period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee of the Company to terminate employment with the Company or hire any employee of the Company.

9.Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that (i) the Executive's work for the Company has given and will continue to give him access to the confidential affairs and proprietary information of the Company; (ii) the covenants and agreements of the Executive contained in Sections 6, 7 and 8 are essential to the business and goodwill of the Company; and (iii) the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8. The Executive further acknowledges that in the event of his breach or threat of breach of Sections 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement, the Company, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available to it, shall be entitled to appropriate injunctive relief and/or specific performance in order to enforce or prevent any violations of such provisions, and the Executive and the Company hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce such provisions upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such provisions.

This General Release includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising from or during my employment or as a result of the termination of my employment and all claims arising under federal, state or local laws prohibiting employment discrimination based upon age, race, sex, religion, disability, handicap, national origin or any other protected characteristic, including, but not limited to any and all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and/or any claims arising out of any legal restrictions, expressed or implied, on the Company's right to control or terminate the employment of its employees.

I further agree that I will not file (or join, or accept any relief in) a lawsuit against the Company pleading or asserting any claims released in this General Release. If I breach this promise, and the action is found to be barred in whole or in part by this General Release, I agree to pay the attorneys' fees and costs, or the proportions thereof, incurred by the Company in defending against those claims that are found to be barred by this General Release. Nothing in this paragraph precludes me from challenging the validity of this General Release under the requirements of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and I shall not be responsible for reimbursing the attorneys' fees and costs of the Company in connection with such a challenge to the validity of the release. However, I acknowledge that this General Release applies to all claims I have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and that, unless this General Release is held to be invalid, all of my claims under that Act shall be extinguished.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have carefully read and fully understand the provisions of this General Release. I further acknowledge that I am signing this General Release knowingly and voluntarily and without duress, coercion or undue influence. This General Release constitutes the total and complete understanding between me and the Company relating to the subject matter covered by this General

Release, and all other prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements or representations, if any, relating to the subject matter covered by this General Release are null and void. Neither the Company nor its agents, representatives or attorneys have made any representations to me concerning the terms or effects of this General Release other than those contained herein. It is also expressly understood and agreed that the terms of this General Release may not be altered except in a writing signed by both me and the Company.

I agree and acknowledge that I have carefully read and understand this General Release, including the Section labeled “Notice” on the top of the first page; that I understand, in particular that I am agreeing to release all legal claims against the Company; that I sign this General Release knowingly and voluntarily; that I have been advised to consult with an attorney before signing it; and that this General Release shall not be subject to claims of fraud, duress and/or mistake.

INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND, I hereby set my hand below:
