FORM OF

[AMENDED AND RESTATED]

EMPLOYMENT SECURITY AGREEMENT(1)

This [Amended and Restated] Employment Security Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2008, is between ▇▇▇▇ Corporation (“Company”) and the undersigned [Executive Vice] President of Company (“Executive”).

[WHEREAS, in order to achieve its long term objectives, Company recognizes that it is essential to attract and retain qualified executives; and

WHEREAS, in consideration of Executive’s valuable service for, and critical contribution to the success of, Company, Company desires to provide Executive with certain benefits in the event Executive’s employment is terminated, either in connection with or unrelated to a Change of Control of Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement but not defined in connection with their use are defined in Article V.]

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:

ARTICLE I
TERMINATION BENEFITS

1.1                               General Termination Benefits.  If Executive incurs a Qualifying Termination other than during a Protection Period, he or she will receive the following termination benefits:

(a)                                  Severance Pay.  Subject to Sections 1.7 and 2.1(a), Executive will receive Severance Pay, which shall be paid in equal installments, in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices and procedures, over an [eighteen (18)] [twenty-four (24)] month period that commences on the first ordinary payroll payment date that follows the date that is sixty (60) days after the date on which the Qualifying Termination is incurred; provided that all unpaid portions of such Severance Pay shall be distributed to Executive in a lump-sum on the payroll date immediately preceding March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such Qualifying Termination.  In the event that, after such Qualifying Termination is incurred and Severance Pay under this Section 1.1(a) has commenced, it is determined that such Qualifying Termination was incurred during a Protection Period (including as a result of the occurrence of a Change of Control within six months after such Qualifying Termination), then Executive shall cease to receive Severance Pay under this Section 1.1(a) and shall be entitled to additional Severance Pay in accordance with Section 1.2(a).

(b)                                 Accrued Obligations.  Executive will be entitled to (i) payment of any earned and unpaid Base Compensation as of Termination of Employment; (ii) payment of any earned but unused vacation as of the Termination of Employment, to the extent such vacation pay is provided under the vacation plan or policy sponsored by Company

(1) Bracketed language indicates variations among agreements.

that is applicable to Executive; and (iii) any other earned and unpaid obligations as of the Termination of Employment, including but not limited to any bonus to which Executive may have become entitled but which has not yet been paid as of Termination of Employment under the bonus plan or policy sponsored by Company that is applicable to Executive (the “Accrued Obligations”).  Accrued Obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii) above will be paid as part of Executive’s final ordinary payroll payment from Company for active employment or contemporaneously with such payment, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such Termination of Employment, and Accrued Obligations described in clause (iii) above will be paid in accordance with the terms of the plan, policy, agreement or arrangement under which they arose (including with respect to time of payment or distribution).

(c)                                  Continued Welfare Benefits.  Executive and/or Executive’s dependents will be entitled to elect to continue their respective health or welfare coverage pursuant to COBRA.  Provided that Executive and/or Executive’s dependents elect and maintain such COBRA coverage until the expiration of their eligibility under COBRA, following such expiration, Executive and/or Executive’s dependents also will be entitled to elect to continue such coverage for the remainder, if any, of the Severance Period.  Such health and other welfare benefits will be provided monthly and will provide the same coverage as available to others who elect coverage pursuant to COBRA, even though, following the expiration of Executive’s eligibility for COBRA, it would not be pursuant to COBRA, provided that the continued participation of Executive and such dependents is possible under the general terms and provisions of such health or welfare plans.  If Executive’s participation in any such plan is barred or would result in adverse tax consequences to Executive or Company, Company will arrange to provide Executive on a monthly basis with benefits substantially similar to those that Executive otherwise would have been entitled to receive under such plan or, alternatively at the option of Company, reimburse Executive on a monthly basis for the reasonable actual costs of purchasing in the marketplace substantially similar benefits; provided, however, that, in either case, Executive will pay to Company, or provide a credit against Company’s reimbursement obligation for, the amount equal to the premiums that Executive would have been required to pay to maintain such benefits hereunder.

During the Severance Period, Executive’s premiums for coverage provided pursuant to COBRA will be equal to the premiums Executive paid prior to Termination of Employment.  All premium payments paid by Executive and/or Executive’s dependents for coverage will be paid directly to the appropriate insurer or service provider for such benefit (which may be Company).  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s continuation of health and welfare benefits during the Severance Period; shall count against Executive’s continuation of coverage period required under COBRA.

Any health or welfare benefits received by or available to Executive from or in connection with any other employment of Executive, consultancy arrangement undertaken by Executive or similar source that are reasonably comparable to, but not necessarily as financially or otherwise beneficial to Executive as, the benefits provided to Executive by Company at the time of the Termination of Employment will be deemed the equivalent thereof and will terminate Company’s obligation under this Section 1.1(c) to provide health and welfare coverage during the Severance Period: provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph will limit or terminate Executive’s or

2

Executive’s dependents’ right to continue any Company group health plan coverage at Executive’s or such dependent’s cost for the remainder of the COBRA period.  Executive agrees to advise Company of the availability of any such subsequent benefit coverages within 30 days following such availability.

The provisions of this Section 1.1(c) will not prohibit Company from changing the terms of any benefit programs provided that any such changes apply to all executives of Company and its Affiliates (e.g., Company may switch insurance carriers or preferred provider organizations or change coverages).

(d)                                 Outplacement Services.  Executive will be entitled to receive outplacement services from an entity selected by Company for a period of three (3) months, provided that such services do not commence later than six (6) months following Termination of Employment.  Company will pay the outplacement service provider directly for the cost of such outplacement services.

(e)                                  Equity Compensation Adjustments.  Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Executive by Company under an Equity Plan that vested prior to such Termination of Employment will be governed by the terms of such awards and such Equity Plan.  Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Executive by Company under an Equity Plan that are unvested on Termination of Employment will expire, unless otherwise provided in such awards or such Equity Plan.  Following his or her Termination of Employment, Company will not grant Executive any equity-based compensation awards.

(f)                                    401(k) Plan.  The terms of the 401(k) Plan will govern Executive’s account balance, if any, under such 401(k) Plan.

1.2                               Termination Benefits in Connection with a Change of Control.  If Executive incurs a Qualifying Termination during a Protection Period, he or she will receive the following termination benefits:

(a)                                  Severance Pay.  Subject to Sections 1.7 and 2.1(a), Executive will receive Severance Pay in a single lump-sum within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Qualifying Termination is incurred.  In the case of a Qualifying Termination that is incurred during the portion of the Protection Period that precedes the Change of Control, (i) the amount of Severance Pay payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) shall be reduced by the amount of any Severance Pay paid to Executive pursuant to Section 1.1(a) prior to the date the Change of Control occurs and (ii) such additional Severance Pay shall be paid to Executive in a single lump-sum within sixty (60) days after the date on which such Change of Control occurred.

(b)                                 Accrued Obligations.  Executive will be entitled to payment of any Accrued Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(b).

(c)                                  Continued Welfare Benefits.  Executive and Executive’s dependents will be entitled to receive health and other welfare benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(c) for the duration of the Severance Period.

(d)                                 Outplacement Services.  Executive will be entitled to receive outplacement services in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(d).

(e)                                  Equity Compensation Adjustments.  Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Executive by Company under an Equity Plan that vested prior to such Termination of Employment will be governed by the terms of such awards and such Equity Plan.  Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Executive by Company under an Equity Plan that are unvested on Termination of Employment will vest immediately upon Termination of Employment, unless otherwise provided in such awards or such Equity Plan.  Following his or her Termination of Employment, Company will not grant Executive any equity-based compensation awards.

(f)                                    401(k) Plan.  The terms of the 401(k) Plan will govern Executive’s account balance, if any, under such 401(k) Plan.

(g)                                 Conditional Cap on Severance Pay.  If the payments to Executive pursuant to this Agreement (when considered with all other payments made to Executive as a result of a Termination of Employment that are subject to Section 280G of the Code) (the amount of all such payments, collectively, the “Parachute Payment”) result in Executive becoming liable for the payment of any excise taxes pursuant to section 4999 of the Code (“280G Excise Tax”).  Executive will receive the greater on an after-tax basis of (i) the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 or (ii) the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 as reduced to avoid imposition of the 280G Excise Tax (the “Conditional Capped Amount”).

Not more than fourteen (14) days following the Termination of Employment Company will notify Executive in writing (A) whether the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 when added to any other Parachute Payments payable to Executive exceed an amount equal to 299% (the “299% Amount”) of Executive’s “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, (B) the amount that is equal to the 299% Amount, (C) whether the severance benefit described in Section 1.2(g)(i) or the Conditional Capped Amount pursuant to section 1.2(g)(ii) is greater on an after-tax basis and (C) if the Conditional Capped Amount is the greater amount, the amount that the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 must be reduced to equal such amount.

The calculation of the 299% Amount, the determination of whether the termination benefits described in Section 1.2(g)(i) or the Conditional Capped Amount described in Section 1.2(g)(ii) is greater on an after-tax basis and, if the Conditional Capped Amount in Section 1.2(g)(ii) is the greater amount, the determination of how much Executive’s termination benefits must be reduced in order to avoid application of the 280G Excise Tax will be made by Company’s public accounting firm in accordance with section 280G of the Code or any successor provision thereto.  For purposes of making the reduction of amounts payable under this Agreement, such amounts shall be eliminated in the following order:  (1) any cash compensation, (2) any health or welfare benefits, (3) any equity compensation, and (4) any other payments hereunder.  Reductions of such amounts shall take place in the chronological order with respect to which such amounts would be paid from the date of the Termination of Employment absent any acceleration of payment.  If the reduction of the amounts payable hereunder would not result in a reduction of the Parachute Payments to the Conditional Capped Amount, no amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this provision.  The costs of obtaining such determination will be borne by Company.

ARTICLE II
EXECUTIVE COVENANTS

2.1                               Release; Covenants.  As a condition of obtaining benefits under this Agreement, Executive will be required to (a) within forty-five (45) days following Termination of Employment execute and deliver to Company a general release of claims against Company in such form as may be required by Company and (b) comply with the covenants set forth in this Article II.  In the event that Executive fails to execute and deliver such general release within such forty-five-day period or revokes such general release (but only to the extent revocation is permitted under the terms of such general release), then Executive will forfeit all entitlement to any payment, benefit or other amount hereunder.  Executive’s failure to comply with the covenants of this Article II will be governed by Section 2.7 and Article III.

2.2                               Confidential Information.  Company promises to disclose to Executive and Executive acknowledges that in and as a result of his or her employment with Company, he or she will receive, make use of, acquire, have access to and/or become familiar with various trade secrets and proprietary and confidential information of Company and its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, processes, computer programs, compilations of information, records, financial information, sales reports, sales procedures, customer requirements, pricing techniques, customer lists, methods of doing business, identities, locations, performance and compensation levels of employees and other confidential information which are owned by Company and/or its Affiliates and regularly used in the operation of its business, and as to which Company and/or its Affiliates take precautions to prevent dissemination to persons other than certain directors, officers and employees (collectively, “Trade Secrets”).  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Trade Secrets:

(a)                                  are secret and not known in the industry;

(b)                                 give Company or its Affiliates an advantage over competitors who do not know or use the Trade Secrets;

(c)                                  are of such value and nature as to make it reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the confidentiality and secrecy of the Trade Secrets; and

(d)                                 are valuable, special and unique assets of Company or its Affiliates, the disclosure of which could cause substantial injury and loss of profits and goodwill to Company or its Affiliates.

Executive promises not to use in any way or disclose any of the Trade Secrets, directly or indirectly, either during or after his or her employment by Company, except as required in the course of his or her employment, if required in connection with a judicial or administrative proceeding, or if the information becomes public knowledge other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by Executive.  All files, records, documents, information, data compilations and similar items containing non-public and confidential information relating to

8

the business of Company, whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming into his or her possession, will remain the exclusive property of Company and may not be removed from the premises of Company under any circumstances without the prior written consent of Company (except in the ordinary course of business during Executive’s employment by Company), and in any event must be promptly delivered to Company upon termination of Executive’s employment with Company.  Executive agrees that upon receipt of any subpoena, process or other request to produce or divulge, directly or indirectly, any Trade Secrets to any entity, agency, tribunal or person, whether received during or after the term of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive will timely notify and promptly provide a copy of the subpoena, process or other request to Company.  For this purpose, Executive irrevocably nominates and appoints Company (including any attorney retained by Company), as his or her true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to act in Executive’s name, place and stead to perform any reasonable and prudent act that Executive might perform to defend and protect against any disclosure of any Trade Secrets.

The parties agree that the above restrictions on confidentiality and disclosure are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, will survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.  The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on confidentiality and disclosure will not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on confidentiality and disclosure.  Additionally, should an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Section 2.2 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable.

2.3                               Non-Competition.  As a material inducement for Company’s promise to provide the trade secrets and proprietary and confidential information described in Section 2.2, Executive agrees that during the term of his or her employment with Company and during the applicable Severance Period specified in Section 5.14, he or she will not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, compete with Company by providing services relating to retail or non-retail sales of jewelry to any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity that is in a “Competing Business.”  As used herein, a “Competing Business” is any business that, in whole or in material part, in the United States, Canada and/or Puerto Rico, (a) engages in the retail sale of jewelry, including, but not limited to, specialty jewelry retailers and other retailers having jewelry divisions or departments, or (b) operates as a vendor of jewelry, including, but not limited to, as a wholesaler, manufacturer or direct importer of jewelry.  The restrictions contained in this Section 2.3 will be tolled on a day-for-day basis for each day during which Executive participates in any activity in violation of such restrictions.

The parties agree that, subject to the terms of Section 2.1, the above restrictions on competition are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, will survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.  The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition will not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition.  Additionally, should an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Section 2.3 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the arbitrator or court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable.

9

2.4                               Agreement Not to Solicit Employees.  Executive covenants and agrees that during Executive’s employment with Company and thereafter during the applicable Severance Period specified in Section 5.14, Executive will not, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity, (a) directly, indirectly, or through a third party hire, cause to be hired or solicit any employee of Company or its Affiliates or (b) in any manner attempt to influence or induce any employee of Company or its Affiliates to leave the employment of Company or its Affiliates, nor will he or she use or disclose to any person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity any information concerning the names and addresses of any employees of Company or its Affiliates.  The restrictions contained in this Section 2.4 will be tolled on a day-for-day basis for each day during which Executive participates in any activity in violation of such restriction.

The parties agree that, subject to the terms of Section 2.1, the above restrictions on the solicitation of employees are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, will survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.  The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on the solicitation of employees will not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on the solicitation of employees.  Additionally, should an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Section 2.4 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable.

2.5                               Nondisparagement.  Executive covenants and agrees that he or she will not make any public or private statements, comments, or communications in any form, oral, written, or electronic (all of the foregoing, for purposes of this paragraph, “Communications”), which in any way could constitute libel, slander, or disparagement of Company, its Affiliates, its and/or their employees, officers, and/or directors, or which may be considered to be derogatory or detrimental to its or their good name or business; provided, however, that the terms of this paragraph will not (a) apply to Communications between Executive and his or her spouse, clergy, or attorneys, which are subject to a claim of privilege existing under common law, statute, or rule of procedure; (b) apply to Communications required by law or made in response to a valid subpoena or other lawful order compelling Executive to provide testimony or information (subject to the provisions of Section 2.2); or (c) be construed to inhibit or limit Executive’s ability to initiate or cooperate with any investigation by a governmental or regulatory agency or official or other judicial or legal actions (subject to the provisions of Section 2.2).  Executive specifically agrees not to issue any public statement concerning his or her employment by Company and/or the cessation of such employment.

2.6                               Reasonableness of Restrictions.  Executive agrees that Executive and Company are engaged in a highly competitive business and, due to Executive’s position with Company and the nature of Executive’s work, Executive’s engaging in any business that is competitive with that of Company will cause Company great and irreparable harm.  Executive represents and warrants that the time, scope and geographic area restricted by the foregoing Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 pertaining to confidential information, non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement are reasonable, that the enforcement of the restrictions contained in such Sections would not be unduly burdensome to Executive, and that Executive will be able to earn a reasonable living while abiding by the terms included herein.  Executive agrees that the restraints created by the covenants in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 pertaining to confidential information, non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement are not outweighed by either the hardship to Executive or any injury likely to the public.  If any

10

arbitrator or court determines that any portion of this Article II is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Article II will not thereby be affected and will be given full effect without regard to the invalid provisions.  If any court construes any of the provisions of this Article II, or any part thereof, to be unreasonable because of the duration or scope of such provision, such court will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision and to enforce such provision as so reduced.

2.7                               Enforcement.  Upon Executive’s employment with an entity that is not an Affiliate of Company (a “Successor Employer”) during the period that the provisions of this Article II remain in effect, Executive will provide such Successor Employer with a copy of this Agreement and will notify Company of such employment within thirty (30) days thereof.  Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of the terms and conditions of this Article II by Executive, Company will be entitled, if it so elects, to institute and prosecute proceedings pursuant to Article III, either in law or in equity, against Executive, to obtain damages for any such breach, or to enjoin Executive from any conduct in violation of this Article II.  In the event Company seeks an injunction or restraining order against Executive for breach of this Article II, Executive waives any requirement that Company post bond in connection with such request for relief.

2.8                               Recoupment.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Article II of the Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, Executive shall forfeit all payments otherwise due under the Agreement and shall return to Company any Severance Pay made to Executive prior to such forfeiture.

ARTICLE III
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

3.1                               Arbitration.  Company and Executive agree that any controversy or claim (including all claims pursuant to common and statutory law) relating to this Agreement or arising out of or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or Executive’s employment by Company will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration.  Subject to the terms and any exceptions provided in this Agreement, the parties each waive the right to a jury trial and waive the right to adjudicate their disputes under this Agreement outside the arbitration forum provided for in this Agreement.  The arbitration will be administered by a single neutral arbitrator admitted to practice law in Texas for a minimum of ten years.  Any such arbitration proceeding will take place in Dallas County, Texas and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Dallas office in accordance with its then-current applicable rules and procedures.  The arbitrator will have the authority to award the same remedies, damages and costs that a court could award.  The arbitrator will issue a reasoned award explaining the decision, the reasons for the decision and any damages awarded.  The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding.  This provision can be enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act.

3.2                               Entitlement to Injunctive Relief.  As the sole exception to the exclusive and binding nature of the arbitration commitment set forth above, Executive and Company agree that Company will have the right to initiate an action in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas in order to request temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief, including, without limitation, specific performance, to enforce the terms of Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, or 2.5 above, without the necessity of proving inadequacy of legal remedies or irreparable harm or posting bond; provided, however, that if Executive is

11

engaging in activities prohibited by Section 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 above, outside of Dallas County, Texas, the parties hereby agree that the Company may, at its sole option, bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing herein shall prevent the Company from pursuing the same injunctive or equitable relief in the arbitration proceedings.  Moreover, nothing in this section should be construed to constitute a waiver of the parties’ rights and obligations to arbitrate regarding matters other than those specifically addressed in this paragraph.

3.3                               Limitation of Scope.  Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of the arbitration and related provisions of this Agreement are too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable.

3.4                               Payments Pending Litigation and/or Arbitration.  In the case of a Qualifying Termination other than during a Protection Period, upon the material violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or a dispute regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, Company shall cease payment of all Severance Pay and severance benefits pending the outcome of litigation and/or arbitration on such issues pursuant to this Article III.  In the case of a Qualifying Termination during a Protection Period, upon the material violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or a dispute regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, Company shall continue payment of all Severance Pay and severance benefits pending the outcome of litigation and/or arbitration pursuant to this Article Ill subject to being reimbursed if so ordered in any such litigation or arbitration.

3.5                               Fees and Expenses.  If Company or Executive sues in court or brings an arbitration action against the other for a breach of any provision of this Agreement or regarding any dispute arising from the subject matter of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees, court costs, arbitration expenses, and its portion of the fees charged by AAA and/or the individual arbitrator, as applicable, regardless of which party initiated the proceedings.  If there is no prevailing party, the fees charged by AAA and/or the individual arbitrator will be borne equally by Company and Executive, and Company and Executive will each bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in arbitration.  In the event that Executive prevails on at least one material issue, Executive will be deemed to be the prevailing party; provided, however, that if Executive does not prevail on at least one material issue, the Company shall be deemed to be the prevailing party.

3.6                               Right of Offset.  If Executive is at any time indebted to Company, or otherwise obligated to pay money to Company for any reason, Company, at its election, may offset amounts otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement against any such indebtedness or amounts due from Executive to Company, to the extent permitted by law.

3.7                               Other Matters and Acknowledgement.  All proceedings conducted pursuant to this agreement to arbitrate, including any order, decision or award of the arbitrator, will be kept confidential by all parties except to the extent necessary to enforce the award.  EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING ANY RIGHT THAT EXECUTIVE MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OR A COURT TRIAL OF ANY EMPLOYMENT-RELATED CLAIM ALLEGED BY EXECUTIVE.
