(b) ANNUAL BONUS. Executive will also be eligible to participate in the Company's annual management incentive bonus plan (the "Annual Bonus") at a level determined by the Compensation Committee ("Compensation Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").

The date of the stock option grant, which will be the same date as the Fiscal Year 2006 annual stock option award for other employees, will be determined by the compensation Committee, but will in no event be later than October 15, 2006. The shares shall have an exercise price equal to the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) of a share of common stock on the grant date. All of these shares shall continue to vest for the maximum period permitted under the terms of the grant as if Executive remained employed with the Company beyond the Employment Term. Such options shall be subject to the terms and conditions of an Option Agreement. (b) VESTING AND EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS. If Executive remains employed by the Company through the Employment Term, all of Executive's unvested, previously granted stock options and restricted stock will continue to vest as if Executive remained employed with the Company beyond the Employment Term.

The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder. (b) DEATH OR DISABILITY. Executive's employment will terminate automatically upon Executive's death. The Company may terminate Executive's employment for disability in the event Executive has been unable, due to physical or mental incapacity, to perform Executive's material dues under this Agreement for six consecutive months (or such longer period that may be required by applicable law). In the event Executive's employment terminates as a result of death or disability, then: (i) All unvested or unexercisable equity compensation, including unvested stock options and restricted stock, will become fully vested and exercisable, and any stock options may be exercised after Executive's termination of employment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable grant documentation; (ii) Except as otherwise provided herein, Executive will forfeit Executive's right to receive any salary, annual bonuses, or other compensation that has not been fully earned at the time Executive's employment terminates; provided, however Executive will be entitled to receive any awards which become fully vested upon Executive's death or disability under the annual management incentive bonus plan, should the terms thereof provide therefore, and any other benefits or amounts accrued but not yet paid as of the date of termination; (iii) Executive will receive any other amounts earned, accrued or owing to Executive under the plans and programs of the Company.

(c) INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR GOOD REASON.

In exchange for the consideration provided in the preceding sentence, Executive agrees that during the Employment Term and for a period of one year after Executive's termination of employment for any reason, Executive will not, except with the prior written consent of the CEO, directly or indirectly, engage in Competition.

(b) The foregoing restrictions will not be construed to prohibit Executive's ownership of less than five percent of any class of securities of any corporation which is engaged in any business having a class of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), provided that such ownership represents a passive investment and that neither Executive nor any group of persons including Executive in any way, either directly or indirectly, manage or exercise control of any such corporation, guarantee any of its financial obligations, otherwise take any part in its business, other than exercising Executive's rights as a shareholder, or seek to do any of the foregoing. (c) Executive further covenants and agrees that during the Employment Term and for the period of one year thereafter, Executive will not, except with the prior written consent of the CEO, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, any person who was an employee of the Company at any time during the term of this Agreement by any employer other than the Company for any position as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise. The Company agrees that the term "solicit for employment" shall not include general solicitations of employment not specifically directed toward an employee, newspaper or other periodical advertisements, or general searches conducted by professional recruiting firms. This covenant will not prevent Executive from giving references and will not preclude the solicitation or hiring or any individual after 12 months have elapsed subsequent to the date on which such individual's employment or engagement by the Company has terminated. (d) For the purposes of this paragraph 11, the term "Company" will be deemed to include the Company and its Affiliates. 12. REMEDIES: INJUNCTION. (a) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in paragraphs 10 and 11 are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the legitimate interests, properties, goodwill and business of the Company, that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions and that irreparable injury will be suffered by the Company should Executive breach any of the provisions of those paragraphs. Executive represents and acknowledges that (i) Executive has been advised by the Company to consult legal counsel with respect to this Agreement, and (ii) that Executive has had full opportunity, prior to execution of this Agreement, to review thoroughly this Agreement with counsel. (b) Executive further acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the restrictions in paragraph 10 and 11 cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages. Executive agrees that, unless Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to paragraph 7(d) during a CIC Period (in which case the provisions of this sentence shall not apply), the Company will be entitled to immediately stop making, and shall have no further obligation to make, any of the cash consideration set forth in this Agreement as being conditioned on the covenants contained in paragraph 11, and that all remaining unvested stock options will be forfeited if Executive breaches the provisions of that paragraph and that, in any event, the Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as provable damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of paragraphs 10 and 11, which rights will be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. In the event that any of the provisions of paragraphs 10 and 11 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the provision will be amended to the extend of the maximum time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law, that such amendment will apply only within the jurisdiction of the court that made such adjudication and that the provision otherwise be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. (c) Executive irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of paragraphs 10 and 11, including without limitation, any action commenced by the Company for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief, may be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Michigan, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Allegan or Kent Counties, Michigan, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection which Executive may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. (d) For the purposes of this paragraph 12, the term "Company" will be deemed to include the Company and its Affiliates. 13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law all intellectual property (including patents, trademarks, and copyrights) which are made, developed or acquired by Executive in the course of Executive's employment with the Company will be and remain the absolute property of the Company, and Executive shall assist the Company in perfecting and defending its rights to such intellectual property. 14. INDEMNIFICATION. As provided for in the Indemnification Agreement between Executive and the Company, the Company will, during and after termination of employment, indemnify Executive (including providing advancement of expenses) for any judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Executive in connection with the defense of any lawsuit or other claim or investigation to which Executive is made, or threatened to be made, a party or witness by reason of being or having been an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition, Executive will be covered under any directors and officers' liability insurance policy for his or her acts (or non-acts) as an officer or director of the Company or any of the subsidiaries or affiliates to the extent the Company provides such coverage for its senior executive officers. 15. NO SET-OFF: NO MITIGATION REQUIRED. The obligation of the Company to make any payments provided for hereunder and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder will not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against Executive or others. In no event will Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts will not be reduced (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) whether or not Executive obtain other employment. 16. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS, IMPACT ON EQUITY COMPENSATION.
