WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Term. Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall continue, at will, until otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 7 below (the “Employment Period”).

2. Title. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Executive shall continue as a director of the Company without additional compensation from that provided hereunder, and shall be nominated for reelection to the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders during the Employment Period and the Company shall use its best efforts to have Executive so elected.

3. Executive’s Duties. Executive shall report directly to the Board, and all other employees of the Company shall report to Executive or Executive’s designee and not directly to the Board. Throughout the Employment Period, Executive’s duties, responsibilities and authority shall include all the duties, responsibilities and authority normally performed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with such other duties as the Board may, from time to time, in its reasonable discretion determine, consistent with his position and status.

4. Full Time. Except as provided specifically herein, during the Employment Period, Executive shall devote his full time, attention, skill, and energy to the duties set forth herein and to the business of the Company and to use his best efforts to promote the success of the Company’s business. Executive shall not invest in any business which directly competes with the Company, nor shall Executive engage in any outside business activity of any nature, including, but not limited to, activity as a consultant, agent, partner, officer, director or provider of business services of any nature, directly or indirectly, to a corporation or other business enterprise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as may be agreed by the Board in its sole discretion. Executive may serve on civic or charitable boards or committees, participate in charitable, professional, educational, community or industry affairs and manage his and his family’s personal investments and affairs to the extent such activities do not interfere with the performance of his duties and responsibilities. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Executive from investing in up to 2% of the stock of any company whose stock is listed on a national securities exchange.

5. Location. Executive shall be based in the Company’s corporate headquarters currently located in Bannockburn, Illinois. However, Executive acknowledges that in order to effectively perform Executive’s duties, he shall be required to travel for business purposes.

6. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. Executive’s annual base salary shall initially be $500,000 (the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices as in effect from time to time. Such Base Salary shall be subject to annual review (commencing with annual reviews of senior executive salaries following the first anniversary of the Effective Date), and may be increased (but not decreased except in connection with, and in proportion to, across-the-board decreases applicable to senior management) from time to time in the discretion of the Board. In the event that Executive’s Base Salary is increased at any time during the Employment Period, such increased amount shall thereafter constitute the Base Salary.

(b) Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to participate in and earn annual bonus compensation under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan or under a successor annual incentive plan (the “MIP”), as may be in effect from time to time, in accordance with the Company’s compensation practices. Executive shall have a annual target bonus equal to 100% of Executive’s Base Salary and a maximum annual bonus equal to 200% of Executive’s Base Salary, subject to satisfaction of applicable performance criteria established by the Board or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, (in consultation with Executive) and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth under the MIP.

(c) Stock Incentive Awards. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”) and any successor or other of the Company’s equity-based or other long-term incentive programs, and to be granted awards thereunder in the discretion of the Board or a committee thereof, in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company as in effect from time to time.

(d) Sign-On Equity Awards:

(i) Not later than three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Executive shall be awarded a grant of ten (10) year options with respect to 750,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Option”) under the Stock Plan. The Option shall vest in five equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date provided that Executive is employed by the Company on the date such installment is scheduled to so vest, subject to earlier vesting under certain circumstances, as provided substantially in the form of Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. The exercise price of the Option shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stock Plan) of such shares on the date of grant. The Option shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan and such Stock Option Agreement.

(ii) Not later than three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Executive shall be awarded a grant of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Restricted Stock”) under the Stock Plan. The Restricted Stock shall vest in five equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date provided that Executive is employed by the Company on the date such installment is scheduled to so vest, subject to vesting as to an additional such installment on the second anniversary and an additional such installment on the third anniversary of the Effective Date in each case upon the achievement of certain performance goals, and otherwise subject to earlier vesting under other circumstances, as provided substantially in the form of Restricted Stock Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A-2. The Restricted Stock shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan and such Restricted Stock Agreement.

(e) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to accrue vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation pay policy as in effect from time to time.

(f) Benefits. Subject to satisfaction of any plan eligibility requirements and the terms and conditions of the plans, Executive shall be entitled to participate in, and receive benefits under, any pension benefit plan or welfare benefit plans adopted by the Company.

(g) Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and properly documented expenses incurred or paid by him, in accordance with applicable Company policy, in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable attorneys fees incurred to negotiate and prepare this Agreement and the Exhibits thereto, in an amount not to exceed $10,000, upon presentation of applicable substantiation.

(h) Withholdings. All payments made under this Section 6, or under any other provision of this Agreement, shall be subject to any and all federal, state, and local taxes and other withholdings to the extent required or authorized by applicable law.

7. Termination of Employment.

(a) Due to Death. Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate immediately upon Executive’s death.

(b) Due to Disability. If Executive incurs a Disability (as defined below) during the Employment Period, then the Company, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to terminate Executive’s employment immediately upon written notice to Executive of such decision. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental impairment that prevents Executive from performing the essential duties of Executive’s position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for (i) a period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or (ii) an aggregate of sixty (60) work days in any six (6) month period. The determination of whether Executive incurred a Disability shall be made by the Company, in its sole discretion, after consultation with Executive’s physician. Executive agrees to submit to an examination by a physician selected by the Company and to authorize Executive’s physician to disclose and speak with the Company regarding Executive’s impairment.

(c) By the Company. The Company shall be entitled to terminate Executive’s employment at any time with or without Cause by providing written notice to Executive of such decision, provided that if the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (and not as a result of a Disability), then the Company must provide at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of such termination to Executive. No advance notice period is required for a termination by the Company with Cause. The Company reserves the right to withdraw any and all duties and responsibilities from Executive, and to exclude Executive from the Company’s premises, during any such notice period.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) gross misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of Executive’s employment duties; (ii) the breach by Executive of any fiduciary duty to the Company, (iii) willful disobedience by Executive of the lawful directions received from the Board; or (iv) commission by Executive of a crime involving fraud or moral turpitude that can reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the business, reputation or financial situation of the Company; provided, prior to any termination for Cause under clause (ii) or clause (iii), Executive shall have ten (10) days within which to cure (if curable, and which is not so cured) following written notice to Executive from the Board of the grounds, with particularity, for such Cause termination. For purposes of this provision, no act or omission on the part of Executive shall be considered “willful” if it is done or omitted in good faith and with a reasonable belief that such conduct was in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been given to the Executive notice of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board (excluding the Executive) finding that Cause exists, after reasonable (in view of the conduct constituting Cause) notice is provided to Executive and Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board; provided, any action by the Board to relieve Executive of any of his duties (except during any ten (10)-day cure period under clause (ii) and clause (iii), above), following such notice during the period such hearing is pending, shall not constitute a termination of his employment without Cause.

(d) By Executive. Executive shall be entitled to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time with or without Good Reason, by providing the Company at least sixty (60) days’ advance written notice in the case of such a termination without Good Reason, which notice, in the case of any termination for Good Reason, shall include at least ten (10) days during which the Company shall have an opportunity to cure (and which is not so cured) the grounds cited by Executive, with particularity in such notice, as constituting “Good Reason”; provided that Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time following any such notice of termination, which shall be treated as a waiver of Executive’s notice, shall not be treated as a termination without Cause, and shall be deemed as Executive’s resignation (with or without Good Reason, as the case may be) on such date. For purposes of this Section 7(d) and Section 8(c), “Good Reason” shall mean without Executive’s written consent, (i) Executive’s duties and responsibilities are materially reduced or diminished from those in effect on the Executive’s commencement of employment, or Executive no longer reports to the Board and instead is required to report to a supervisor with materially diminished authority, duties or responsibilities compared to that of the Board, (ii) Executive’s Base Salary is reduced not in accordance with Section 3(a), or (iii) any other material breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Change of Control. Executive shall enter into an Employment Security Agreement with the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. In the event of the Company’s involuntary termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason during the Employment Period that is not covered by the Employment Security Agreement, then the terms of Section 8(c) of this Agreement shall govern.

8. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment.

(a) Termination By Reason of Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death or Disability under Section 7(a) or 7(b) above, then the Company shall pay to Executive (or Executive’s estate, as appropriate) (i) Executive’s then-current Base Salary through the termination date to the extent not theretofore paid, (ii) any accrued but unused vacation days as of the termination date, (iii) any benefits due to Executive under any employee benefit plan of the Company in which he is a participant immediately prior to such termination and (iv) any expenses owed to Executive pursuant to Section 6(g) (clauses (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Accrued Payments”). In addition, Executive shall be entitled to any earned but unpaid bonus for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 3(b) and paid when such bonuses are paid to other senior executives. Thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive except any obligations that may be required by applicable law (or which survive such termination under this Agreement).

(b) Termination by the Company with Cause. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company with Cause under Section 7(c) above, then the Company shall pay to Executive Executive’s Accrued Payments and thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive except as may be required by applicable law (or which survive such termination under this Agreement).

(c) Termination by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (and not as a result of a Disability) under Section 7(c) above, then the Company shall provide Executive with:

(i) Executive’s Accrued Payments;

(ii) continued payments of an amount equal to eighteen (18) months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s then current payroll practices in effect from time to time over a period of twenty-four months from the termination date;

(iii) provided that Executive (and if applicable Executive’s dependents) elect(s) and is eligible for healthcare continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended; “COBRA”, for a period of eighteen (18) months Executive shall be required to pay only the premium amount charged to active employees for such healthcare coverage and the Company shall pay the balance of such COBRA premiums, subject to immediate cessation of Company payment at any such time during such period that Executive becomes eligible for health benefits in connection with subsequent employment;

(iv) any earned but unpaid bonus for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 3(b) and paid when such bonuses are paid to other senior executives; and

(v) a pro rata portion (based on the number of days during the applicable performance year that Executive was employed by the Company) of the annual bonus that would otherwise have been paid to Executive in accordance with Section 6(b) hereof if his employment had not been terminated, which amount (if any) shall be payable at the same time as the bonuses for such year are paid to other executives.

(d) The payments set forth under Section 8(c)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) are conditioned upon Executive’s execution of a customary general release of claims (that is not revoked) within 45 days of Executive’s termination of employment against the Company and its affiliates, and their employees, directors, owners, agents, successors, and similar persons and shall be in lieu of all other payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled under any severance plan, program or policy of the Company. Other than as set forth in Section 8(c), the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive, except as may be required by applicable law (or which survive such termination under this Agreement), but not waived under the general release referenced in this Section 8(d). To the extent required by Section 28, any payments or benefits that would otherwise have been made during such 45 day period shall not be made and shall be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the expiration of such 45-day period.

(e) Termination by Executive. If Executive terminates Executive’s employment under Section 7(d) without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to Executive Executive’s Accrued Payments and thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive except as may be required by applicable law (or which survive such termination under this Agreement).

(f) No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amount payable to Executive under any Section 8 of this Agreement and, except as set forth at Sections 8(c)(iii), such amounts shall not be reduced for any income or benefits that the Executive derives from employment or self-employment (or both) from any other source.

9. Restrictive Covenants. Executive agrees that in order to protect the business interests of the Company, Executive shall, contemporaneously with Executive’s execution of this Agreement, execute and abide by the terms of an Agreement Protecting Company Interests in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

10. No Prior Restrictions. Executive represents and warrants that Executive’s employment with the Company does not violate, or cause Executive to be in breach of, any obligation or covenant made to any former employer or other third party, and that during the course of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall not take any action that would violate or breach any legal obligation which Executive may have to any former employer or other third party. Executive shall at all times indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company (and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents) in the event of any breach by Executive of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement.

11. Non-Disparagement. Both during and after Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall not disparage, portray in a negative light, or take any action that would be harmful to, or lead to unfavorable publicity for, the Company or any of its current or former clients, suppliers, officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, contractors, owners, parents, subsidiaries, or divisions, whether in public or private, including without limitation, in any and all interviews, oral statements, written materials, electronically displayed materials, and materials or information displayed on Internet-related sites. Both during and after termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the senior officers of the Company shall not, and the members of the Board will be asked not to, disparage, portray in a negative light, or take any action that would be harmful to, or lead to unfavorable publicity for Executive, whether in public or private, including without limitation, in any and all interviews, oral statements, written materials, electronically displayed materials, and materials or information displayed on Internet-related sites.

12. Equitable Relief. Executive and the Company acknowledge that the remedy at law for the breach by Executive or the Company of Section 11 above shall be inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach shall not be readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, upon a violation of any part of the covenant set forth in Section 11, the aggrieved party shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief (or other equitable relief) and may obtain a temporary order restraining any further violation from any court with jurisdiction to issue such relief. No bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief, and Executive and the Company hereby consent to the issuance of such equitable relief. Nothing in this Section 12 shall be deemed to limit the remedies of the Executive or the Company at law or in equity for any breach by the Company or Executive, respectively, of any of the parts of Section 11 that may be pursued or availed of by the Executive or the Company, respectively.

13. Cooperation. During the Employment Period and thereafter, Executive agrees to furnish information as may be in Executive’s possession or knowledge and render assistance and cooperation to the Company at its request regarding any matter, dispute or controversy with which the Company may become involved and of which Executive has or may have reason to have knowledge, information or expertise, so long as such cooperation does not materially and reasonably interfere with Executive’s employment or consulting. The Company shall be responsible for reimbursing Executive for any reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in connection with furnishing the information or rendering the assistance and cooperation to the Company under this Section 13.

14. Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 12 above, in the event that there shall be a dispute among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, the parties agree that such dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), in accordance with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, to which shall be added the provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to the Production of Evidence, and the parties agree that the arbitrator may impose sanctions in his or her discretion to enforce compliance with discovery and other obligations. Such arbitration shall be presided over by a single arbitrator. Hearings in the arbitration proceedings shall commence within twenty (20) days of the selection of the arbitrator or as soon thereafter as the arbitrator is available. The arbitrator shall deliver his or her opinion within twenty (20) days after the completion of the arbitration hearings. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either of the parties. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrator pursuant to this Agreement, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be shared equally by the parties.

15. Attorney’s Fees. If any arbitration is brought under Section 14, the Company shall reimburse Executive for his reasonable attorneys fees and litigation costs incurred in connection with such arbitration (upon presentation of adequate substantiation) solely in the event that Executive prevails on at least one material issue in dispute in such arbitration and the Company does not prevail on at least one material issue in dispute in such arbitration. The arbitrator shall determine which party or parties shall have so prevailed in the arbitrator’s findings on the underlying merits of such dispute. If a proceeding is brought by any party to enforce an arbitration award, or any other proceeding is brought by one party against the other in connection with or relating in any other manner to this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party (as determined by the adjudicator of such proceeding) shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. Anything in this Section 15 to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of the Agreement Protecting Company Interests entered into by the parties under Section 9 shall apply for all purposes thereunder and this Section 15 shall not apply.

16. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof orally confirmed or confirmed by reply transmission), or five business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or three business days after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) at its principal executive office and to Executive at Executive’s principal residence (as determined by the Company’s employment records), or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

17. Severability. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application of any such provisions to Executive or the Company with respect to obligations hereunder, is held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision(s) shall be deemed to be modified or restricted to the extent and in the manner necessary to render the same valid and enforceable or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement, as the case may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law as if such provision(s) had been originally incorporated herein as so modified or restricted or as if such provision(s) had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be.

18. Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the parties under Sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 14, 15, 22 and 29 (as well as any provisions of this Agreement necessary to give effect thereto) shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment.

19. Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.

20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits thereto, contains the entire agreement between Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any other agreement, policy, plan, practice or other Company document, now existing or hereafter adopted or amended, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

21. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by Executive and an authorized representative of the Company (other than Executive).

22. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive. This agreement shall not be assignable by the Company, without Executive’s consent, to an unaffiliated third-party except in connection with an event occurring under Section 22(b). This Agreement and any rights and benefits hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives, heirs or legatees. This Agreement and any rights and benefits hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

(b) 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 assume expressly and agree to satisfy all of the obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to satisfy such obligations if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

23. No Other Representations. Executive acknowledges that the Company has made no representations or warranties to Executive concerning the terms, enforceability, or implications of this Agreement other than as reflected in this Agreement.

24. Arm’s Length Negotiations. The Company and Executive acknowledge that this Agreement was the result of arm’s length negotiations between sophisticated parties each afforded the representation of legal counsel. Each and every provision of this Agreement shall be construed as though both parties participated equally in the drafting of same, and any rule of construction that a document shall be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement.

25. Headings. The titles and headings of sections and subsections contained in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

26. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one agreement.

27. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.

28. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(a) The parties intend that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively “Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner in compliance therewith. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A.

(b) No amount shall be payable pursuant to Section 8(c) or otherwise upon a termination of Executive’s employment unless such termination constitutes a separation from service with the Company under Section 409A. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to Executive pursuant to Section 8(c) herein shall be made in reliance upon the exception for certain involuntary terminations under a separation pay plan or as short-term deferral under Section 409A. To the extent any amounts payable upon Executive’s separation from service are nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, and if Executive is at such time a specified employee thereunder, then to the extent required under Section 409A payment of such amounts shall be postponed until six (6) months following the date of Executive’s separation from service (or until any earlier date of Executive’s death), upon which date all such postponed amounts shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether Executive is a specified employee at the time of Executive’s separation from service shall made by the Company in accordance with Section 409A.

(c) To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

(d) For purposes of Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall any payment or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A.

29. Indemnification. Executive shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted under the Company’s by-laws and charter. During the Employment Period and continuing thereafter, including after the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, during such periods in which Executive may be subject to liability, Executive shall have coverage under any director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy provided by the Company in amounts no less than, and on terms no less favorable than those, as provided by the Company to other senior executive officers and directors of the Company as in effect from time to time.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company desires to encourage and enable the Optionee to acquire or increase his or her proprietary interest in the Company by granting the Optionee an option to purchase common stock of the Company, par value of $.01 per share (“Shares”), as authorized under the APAC Customer Services, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan(the “Plan”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Company and Optionee hereby agree as follows:

1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee a nonqualified stock option to purchase all or part of 750,000 Shares of the Company (the “Option”) at a per share purchase price of $     .      . The Option shall not be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

2. Time of Exercise.

(a) From and after the Grant Date, as long as the Optionee continues to provide Services to the Company or of one of its Subsidiaries, the Option shall become exercisable, to a maximum cumulative extent in accordance with the following schedule:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised for fractional Shares and the Option may not be exercised for less than 100 Shares at a time, unless it is for the balance of the Shares available under the Option.

The exercisability of the Option shall not be affected by leaves of absence approved in writing by the Chairman of the Committee or by any change of employment, so long as the Optionee continues to provide Services to the Company or of one of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 2(a), the following provisions shall govern:

(ii) Change in Control.
