EXHIBIT 10.6

AMENDED AND RESTATED

SEVERANCE BENEFIT AGREEMENT

This Severance Benefit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of May 7, 2009 between Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, No. 1 Leggett Road, Carthage, Missouri 64836 (the “Company”) and Karl G. Glassman (the “Executive”), residing at                                     , Missouri 64836.

RECITALS

The Executive functions as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of the Company on the date hereof and is one of the key employees of the Company.

The Company considers the maintenance of sound and vital management essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In this connection, the Company recognizes that in today’s business environment the possibility of a change in control of the Company may exist in the future. The Company further recognizes that such possibility, and the uncertainty which it may raise among key executives, could result in the departure or distraction of key executives to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate steps should be taken (i) to further induce the Executive to remain with the Company and (ii) to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of the Executive to his assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company. This Agreement supersedes the Severance Benefit Agreement between the Company and the Executive dated November 6, 2008. Certain changes are made as a result of provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1. Change in Control; Employment Agreement

1.1 Change in Control. The Company shall be required to provide certain benefits to the Executive to the extent required under the terms of this Agreement following each and every “Change in Control” of the Company.

A “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(a) There is any change in control as contemplated by (i) Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A, Regulation 14A, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or (ii) Item 5.01 of Form 8-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act; or

1

(b) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

(c) Those persons serving as directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (the “Original Directors”) and/or their Successors do not constitute a majority of the whole Board of Directors of the Company (the term “Successors” shall mean those directors whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders has been approved by the vote of at least two-thirds of the Original Directors and previously qualified Successors serving as directors of the Company at the time of such election or nomination for election); or

(d) The Company shall be a party to a merger or consolidation with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation, less than 75% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former shareholders of the Company as the same shall have existed immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; or

(e) The Company liquidates, sells, or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a person not controlled by the Company both immediately prior to and immediately after such sale.

1.2 Employment Agreement. Any benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement will, unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement, be in addition to and not in lieu of any benefits that may be provided the Executive under his Employment Agreement with the Company dated May 7, 2009 (this agreement, as amended, restated or superseded, is called the “Employment Agreement”).

This Agreement shall continue for the term provided in Section 8.7 and shall not be affected by any termination of the Employment Agreement.

2. Termination of Employment Following a Change in Control

2.1 General. During the 30 month period immediately following each and every Change in Control (the “Protected Period”), the Executive and the Company shall comply with all provisions of this Section 2 regarding termination of the Executive’s employment. This Agreement shall have no application to any termination of the Executive’s employment outside the Protected Period.

2.2 Termination for Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s Total Disability. “Total Disability” means the Executive’s inability due to illness or injury, for a continuous period of six or more months to perform substantially all of his material duties with the Company. During any period prior to his termination of employment that the Executive is unable to substantially perform, his duties with the Company as a result of illness or injury, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his full base salary at the rate then in effect and any bonuses earned by the Executive under Company bonus

2

plans until such time as the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability. In no event, however, shall such period of continued pay and bonus exceed 29 consecutive months. Following termination of employment under this Section 2.2, the Executive’s benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s long term disability program as in effect on the date hereof, or any successor program then in effect.

2.3 Termination by Company for “Cause”. If the Employment Agreement is not in force, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause as defined in this Agreement. If the Employment Agreement is in force, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for “Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) only in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement.

Termination for “Cause” under this Agreement, as distinguished from the Employment Agreement, shall be limited to the following:

(a) The Executive’s conviction of any crime involving money or other property of the Company or any of its affiliates (including entering any plea bargain admitting criminal guilt), or a conviction of any other crime (whether or not involving the Company or any of its affiliates) that constitutes a felony in the jurisdiction involved; or

(b) The Executive’s willful breach of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct (or any successor policy) which causes material injury to the Company; or

(c) The Executive’s willful act or omission involving fraud, misappropriation, or dishonesty that (i) causes material injury to the Company or (ii) results in a material personal enrichment to the Executive at the expense of the Company; or

(d) The Executive’s willful violation of specific written directions of the Board or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer provided that such directions are consistent with this Agreement and the Executive’s duties and do not constitute Company Action as defined in Section 2.4, and provided that such violation continues following the Executive’s receipt of written notice by the Board or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer specifying the specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute such violation and such violation continues after affording the Executive reasonable opportunity to remedy such failure after receipt of such notice; or

(e) The Executive’s continued, repeated, willful failure to substantially perform his duties; provided, however, that no discharge shall be deemed for Cause under this subsection (e) unless the Executive first receives written notice from the Board or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer advising the Executive of specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute a failure to perform his duties, and such failure continues after the Executive has had a reasonable opportunity to correct the acts or omissions so complained of.

3

No act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Moreover, the Executive’s employment shall not be terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a notice of termination duly adopted by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the directors of the Board at a meeting of the Board (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth in Section 2.3(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

A termination shall not be deemed for Cause if, for example, the termination results from the Company’s determination that the Executive’s position is redundant or unnecessary or that the Executive’s performance is unsatisfactory or if the termination stems from the Executive’s refusal to agree to or accept any Company Action described in Section 2.4.

2.4 Termination by Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may, whether or not his Employment Agreement remains in force, terminate his employment for “Good Reason” by giving notice of termination to the Company following (i) any action or omission by the Company described in this Section 2.4 or (ii) receipt of notice from the Company of the Company’s intention to take any such action or engage in any such omission. A termination of employment under this Section 2.4 shall be deemed a valid and proper termination of the Employment Agreement if then in force and, to this extent, the parties agree that the Employment Agreement is hereby amended.

The actions or omissions which may lead to a termination of employment for Good Reason (herein collectively and severally “Company Actions”) are as follows:

(a) A reduction by the Company in the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or a failure by the Company to increase the Executive’s base salary each year during the Protected Period by an amount which at least equals, on a percentage basis, the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Workers (CPI-U) for the applicable year; or

(b) A change in the Executive’s reporting responsibilities or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control that results in a material diminution within the Company of authority or responsibility; or

(c) The assignment to the Executive of any duties or responsibilities that, in any material aspect, are inconsistent with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities with the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control or a material expansion of such duties and responsibilities without the Executive’s written consent; or

4

(d) A failure by the Company, without providing substantially similar economic benefits, to (i) continue any cash bonus or other incentive plans substantially in the forms in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (ii) continue the Executive as a participant in such plans on at least the same basis as the Executive participated in accordance with the plans immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

(e) A requirement by the Company that the Executive be based or perform his duties more than 50 miles from the Company’s Corporate Office location immediately prior to the Change in Control, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if the Executive consents in writing to any relocation, the failure by the Company to pay (or reimburse the Executive for) all reasonable expenses incurred by him relating to a change of his principal residence in connection with such relocation; or

(f) A failure by the Company, without providing substantially similar economic benefits, to continue in effect any benefit or other compensation plan (e.g., stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, stock option plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan or disability plan) in which the Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control (or plans providing the Executive with substantially similar economic benefits), or the taking of any action which would adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce the Executive’s benefits under any of such plans; or

(g) The Company’s failure to provide the Executive with the number of paid vacation days to which he is entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation practices with respect to the Executive at the time of the Change in Control; or

(h) A failure by the Company to obtain the assumption agreement to perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated by Section 6 of this Agreement; or

(i) Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment for Disability or for Cause that is not carried out (i) pursuant to a notice of termination which satisfies the requirements of Section 2.5 or (ii) in accordance with Section 2.3, if applicable; and for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective.

2.5 Notice of Termination and Opportunity to Cure. Any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under Section 2.2 (Disability) or 2.3 (for Cause) or by the Executive under Section 2.4 (for Good Reason) shall be communicated by notice of termination to the other party. A notice of termination shall mean a notice which includes the specific termination Section in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the Section so indicated. Notice of termination for Good Reason under Section 2.4 shall be made by the Executive no later than 90 days from the date such Good Reason first arises. If, within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the Company takes such appropriate actions as are necessary to correct, reverse or cure these facts and circumstances that the Executive identifies as causing Good Reason, then no Good Reason shall have occurred.

5

2.6 Date of Termination. The date the Executive’s employment is terminated under Section 2 of this Agreement is called the “Date of Termination”. In cases of Disability, the Date of Termination shall be 30 days after notice of termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such prior 30 day period). If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the notice of termination. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date set out in the notice of termination, provided that the Company fails to correct, reverse or cure the facts giving rise to such Good Reason, as provided in Section 2.5.

Any dispute by a party hereto regarding a notice of termination delivered to such party must be conveyed to the other party within 30 days after the notice of termination is given. If the particulars of the dispute are not conveyed within the 30 day period, then the disputing party’s claims regarding the termination shall be forever deemed waived.

2.7 Prior Notice Required of Company Actions. During the Protected Period, the Company shall not terminate the Executive’s employment (except for Disability or for Cause or pursuant to the Employment Agreement) or take any Company Action as defined in Section 2.4 without first giving the Executive at least three months’ prior notice of termination or the planned Company Action, as the case may be.

3. Benefits upon Termination of Employment

3.1 General. If, during the Protected Period following each Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated either (i) by the Company (other than for Disability or Cause under this Agreement and other than for “Total Disability” or “Cause” under the terms of the Employment Agreement) or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, then the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in this Section 3 (collectively and severally “Termination Benefits”) in lieu of receiving the compensation and benefits provided for in Section 8.2 of the Employment Agreement.

3.2 Base Salary Through Date of Termination. The Company shall pay the Executive his full base salary through the Date of Termination under the Company’s regular payroll procedures and at the rate in effect at the time notice of termination is given. The Company shall give the Executive credit for any vacation earned but not taken and pay such amount at the time that any earned but not yet paid bonus is paid under Section 3.3.

3.3 Pro-Rata Bonus for Year of Termination. The Company shall pay the Executive a pro-rata bonus for the year in which his employment terminates. The pro-rata bonus shall be equal to “A” divided by “B” with the quotient multiplied by “C” where:

(a) “A” equals the number of days the Executive is employed by the Company in the year in which the termination of employment occurs (the “Termination Year”);

6

(b) “B” equals 365; and

(c) “C” equals the maximum bonus the Executive would have been eligible for in the Termination Year under Section 4.2 of his Employment Agreement or under the Company’s Key Officers Incentive Compensation Plan (or successor plans), whichever may be applicable.

Such amount shall be paid when bonuses are required to be paid under the Company’s Ken Officer Incentive Plan (or successor plan).

3.4 Monthly Severance Payments. The Company shall pay the Executive:

(a) aggregate severance payments equal to 2.5 times his annual base salary in effect on the date of written notice of termination, plus

(b) additional aggregate severance payments equal to the excess of:

(i) 2.5 times 170% of the Executive’s annual base salary (determined without regard to any deferral of compensation) as of the date of the Change in Control or as of the Date of Termination, whichever is greater, over

(ii) the aggregate severance payments described in subsection (a).

The 170% figure in this Subsection shall be appropriately increased or decreased as the Executive’s target bonus amount (which is expressed as a percentage of his annual base salary and is currently 70%) is increased or decreased. Thus, for example, if Executive’s target bonus is later increased to 80%, the 170% figure would be increased to 180%.

The severance payments in subsection (a) and subsection (b) shall each be made in 30 equal, consecutive monthly installments.

3.5 Welfare Plans and Fringe Benefits.

(a) For purposes of this Section 3.5, welfare plans and fringe benefit programs include health, disability, life, salary continuance prior to disability, automobile usage, and any other fringe benefit or welfare plan arrangement in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

(b) The Company shall maintain in full force, for the continued benefit of the Executive for 30 months after the Date of Termination, at the same cost to the Executive as is charged to similarly situated active employees, all welfare plans and fringe benefit programs (including health plan, disability insurance, and life insurance, including any applicable spouse and eligible

7

dependent coverage) that the Company is able to provide under the terms of its plans, programs, and applicable policies and that may be provided to the Executive as a former employee on a tax-free basis under the Code; provided, however, that the Company may require the Executive to elect coverage pursuant to COBRA as condition to continuing medical plan coverage, if and to the extent the Executive is eligible for COBRA.

(c) To the extent that any welfare plan or fringe benefit program cannot be maintained under Section 3.5(b) above on a tax-free basis to the Executive under the applicable provisions of the Code, such benefits that the Company is able to provide under the terms of its plans, programs, and applicable policies shall be continued, at the same cost to the Executive as is charged to similarly situated active employees, for the period, if any, that is recognized under Code Section 409A as not resulting in a deferral of compensation, but in no event beyond 30 months.

(d) To the extent any welfare plan or fringe benefit program cannot be provided for 30 months from the Date of Termination under Sections 3.5(b) and (c) above, the Executive shall be entitled to monthly cash payments that equal the Company’s cost of coverage in the case of welfare plans and in the case of fringe benefit programs that require payment of a premium, and in other cases the value of benefits that would have been provided during such period. At the close of the 30 month period, any assignable insurance policy owned by the Company and relating solely to the Executive shall be assigned to the Executive.

3.6 Retirement Plans.

(a) The Company shall pay the Executive an additional retirement benefit as specified in this Section 3.6. Such benefit shall be the actuarial equivalent of the additional benefit to which the Executive would have been entitled under the Company’s Retirement Plans in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control had the Executive accumulated 30 additional months of continuous service (following the Date of Termination) under such Retirement Plans both for purposes of determining eligibility for benefits and for purposes of calculating the amount of such benefits. If any Retirement Plan requires contributions by participants, the amount of additional retirement benefit payable under this Section 3.6 shall be reduced to reflect the absence of contributions by the Executive and any matching contribution that would be contingent upon the Executive’s contributions shall be calculated as if the Executive made the maximum contribution allowable under the terms of such Retirement Plan. Where the Executive’s contribution for a given Retirement Plan is calculated by reference to salary and/or bonus, the additional benefit for purposes of this Section 3.6 shall be calculated by reference to the Executive’s annual salary in effect on the date of the Executive’s notice of termination and the bonus payout percentage achieved for the year of service preceding the Executive’s notice of termination, without adjustment for any future year increases that may have occurred absent the termination.

(b) For purposes of this Section 3.6, “Retirement Plans” are (i) any savings or retirement plan sponsored by the Company that is intended to be tax-qualified under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a), and any arrangements that make up benefits that are not provided under such tax-qualified plans because of compensation or benefit limits under the terms of such plans or the Internal

8

Revenue Code, (ii) the Executive Stock Unit Program, and (iii) any deferred compensation program in which the Executive participates that is adopted after the effective date of this agreement that is intended to provide for retirement savings.

3.7 Purchase of Company Car. The Company shall permit the Executive to purchase any Company automobile the Company was providing for the Executive’s use at the time notice of termination was given. The purchase price shall be the book or wholesale value at such time, whichever is lower.

3.8 Termination Which Does Not Require Payment of Termination Benefits. No Termination Benefits shall be provided by the Company to the Executive under this Section 3 if the Executive’s employment is terminated:

(a) By his death; or

(b) By the Executive other than for Good Reason; or

(c) By the Company for Disability or for Cause under this Agreement or for “Total Disability” or “Cause” under the terms of the Employment Agreement.

3.9 Gross Up Payment. If any payment or benefit received by the Executive under this Agreement or any other plan or agreement with the Company (a “Benefit”) is subject to tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such tax (collectively, “Excise Tax”), the Company will pay the Executive an amount (“Gross Up Payment”) that covers: all Excise Taxes payable by Executive because of any such Benefit and all income and employment taxes and Excise Taxes on the Gross Up Payment. It is the Company’s intent that any payment under this Section 3.9 shall place the Executive in the same position that he would have been in had the Benefit not been subject to the Excise Tax. Provided, however, that the Gross-Up Payment shall be made only if the total value of the Benefit exceeds by 10 percent or more the dollar amount that is 3 times the Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code). If the total value of the Benefit exceeds by less than 10 percent the dollar amount that is 3 times the Executive’s “base amount,” then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made and Benefits shall be capped at the amount that is $1 less than 3 times the Executive’s “base amount.” If a reduction is required, the Benefit shall be reduced first by reducing the payments that would be paid latest in time first, and if multiple payments to be reduced are paid at the same time, all non-cash payments will be reduced pro rata before any cash payments, and any remaining cash payments will be reduced pro rata.

Any Gross-Up Payment shall be made no later than the date the Excise Tax is payable by the Executive or the date it is withheld as provided below, and in no event later than the end of the calendar year in which the Executive remits the related taxes. The Company shall determine whether or not any Benefit is subject to the Excise Tax and withhold the amount of the Excise Tax from any Benefit or other remuneration payable to the Executive. Any such determination shall be made in good faith and after consultation with the Company’s independent certified public accountants or outside tax counsel. The Company shall also have the

9

right, on behalf of the Executive, at its sole cost and expense, to contest any claim by the Internal Revenue Service (“Service”) that any Benefit is subject to the Excise Tax or file and pursue a claim for refund of any Excise Tax previously paid. The Executive shall cooperate with the Company in any such proceeding and provide the Company with any notifications received by the Executive from the Service. If the Executive receives any refund of Excise Tax for which a Gross Up Payment has been made, the Executive shall pay such refund to the Company.

4. No Obligation to Mitigate

The Termination Benefits provided under Section 3 shall not be treated as damages, but rather shall be treated as severance compensation to which the Executive is entitled. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any Termination Benefit provided under Section 3 by seeking other employment or otherwise; provided, however, any health welfare and fringe benefits that the Executive may receive from full time employment by a third person shall be applied against and reduce any such benefits thereafter to be made available to the Executive under Section 3.5.

5. Voluntary Termination of Employment by Executive After Certain Change in Control

The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company for any reason (including retirement) within one year of any Qualifying Change in Control (as defined below). A termination of employment under this Section 5 shall be deemed a valid and proper termination of the Employment Agreement if then in force and to this extent the parties agree that the Employment Agreement is hereby amended. Upon any such termination of employment the Executive shall receive, and the Company shall provide, the following benefits and no others under this Agreement:

(a) The Company shall pay the Executive those salary, bonus and vacation payments provided for in Section 3.2.

(b) The Company shall pay the Executive the pro-rata bonus provided for in Section 3.3.

(c) The Company shall pay the Executive aggregate severance payments equal to 75% of the Executive’s total cash compensation for the calendar year immediately preceding the Date of Termination of his employment which will be paid in monthly installments in an amount equal to each monthly installment under Section 3.4(a) until fully paid.

(d) The Company shall provide the Executive for one year with those benefits described in Section 3.5. The benefits provided under this subsection (d) shall be reduced by any such benefits the Executive thereafter receives from full-time employment by a third person.

10

If the Executive does not elect to terminate his employment under this Section 5, then if his employment is subsequently terminated pursuant to Section 3.1(i) or 3.1(ii) he shall remain eligible to receive Termination Benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 3. The benefits payable to the Executive under this Section 5 are in addition to all benefits provided to him under the Employment Agreement.

A “Qualifying Change in Control” is a Change in Control that is opposed by a majority vote of the Board and in connection with such Change in Control or as a result thereof:

(a) A majority of the whole Board becomes comprised of persons other than Original Directors or their Successors (as those terms are defined in Section 1.1(c)); or

(b) Any person (as defined in Section 1.1(b)) becomes the beneficial owner), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities.

6. Timing of Payments

The taxable payments and taxable benefits in Sections 3.4, 3.5, 5(c) and 5(d) shall commence 6 months after the Executive’s termination of employment, at which date he shall receive in a lump sum of installments and benefits which accrued from the date of his termination of employment. Payments under Section 3.6 shall be made 6 months after the Executive’s termination of employment; provided, however, that in the case of a Retirement Plan that is not a tax-qualified plan, payment shall be made at such later date or event that is specified in such plan if the payment time or event is one described in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A). Any coverage and benefits pursuant to Section 3.5 or 5(d) that are not taxable to the Executive shall commence within 60 days following the date of termination and the coverage or benefits shall be retroactive to the date of termination of employment. If the benefit under Section 3.7 is not taxable to the Executive, the sale shall occur within 60 days following termination of employment, and if it is taxable, the sale shall occur 6 months after the Executive’s termination of employment.

7. Successor; Binding Agreement

The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company 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. The assumption shall be by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall entitle the Executive to terminate his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 2.4(h). As used in the Agreement “Company” means the Company as previously defined and any successor to its business and/or assets which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 6 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

11

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, devisees and legatees, but the Executive may not assign this Agreement. If the Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to his devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to his estate.

8. Miscellaneous

8.1 Notice. All notices, elections, waivers and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

8.2 No Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing, signed by the Executive and an officer of the Company. No waiver by either party at any time of any breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

8.3 Enforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

8.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Missouri

8.5 Disputes. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules procedures of the American Arbitration Association. If, at any time after 90 days from the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive and the Company have not resolved any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement, either the Executive or the Company may notify the other of an intent to seek arbitration. Arbitration shall occur before a single arbitrator in the State of Missouri; provided, however, that if the parties cannot agree on the selection of such arbitrator within 30 days after the matter is referred to arbitration, each party shall select one arbitrator and those arbitrators shall jointly designate a third arbitrator to comprise a panel of three arbitrators. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing, shall be final, and may be entered as a judgment in any court in the State of Missouri. Company and the Executive each irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of Missouri for this purpose. The Company shall pay, within 30 days of receipt of the arbitrator’s decision, all costs and expenses in connection

12

with any arbitration under this Section 8.5, including without limitation all reasonable legal fees incurred by Executive in connection with such arbitration; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to pay unless the Executive prevails on the majority of the dollar amount at issue in the dispute.

8.6 Sections; Captions. All references in this Agreement to Sections refer to the applicable Sections of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to a given Section (e.g., Section 3) shall, unless the context requires otherwise, refer to all parts of such Section.

The captions have been placed in this Agreement for ease of reference only. They shall not be used in the interpretation of this Agreement.

8.7 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in force so long as the Executive remains employed by the Company or any successor and shall apply to any Change in Control that occurs while the Executive remains so employed, except as so modified by the parties from time to time, including modifications to take into account changes in law.

8.8 Limited Right of Offset. Effective upon a Change in Control, the Company waives, and will not assert, any right to set off the amount of any claims, liabilities, damages or losses the Company may have against the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or (ii) the Executive terminates his employment for “Good Reason”.

8.9. Release. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Executive shall receive payment and benefits under this Agreement only if the Executive timely executes, returns to the Company, and does not revoke a release and covenant not to sue agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Executive and the Company’s legal counsel. The Company shall provide such agreement to the Executive in sufficient time so that if the Executive executes and returns the agreement to the Company within the time period permitted by the Company, the revocation period provided in the agreement will expire before the payments and benefits under this Agreement are required to commence pursuant to Section 6.

8.10 Successive Changes in Control. A separate Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred with each occurrence of any event described at subsections (a) through (e) of Section 1.1.
