    The majority of our sales are generated through a network of
    approximately 1,500 independent sales agents. These agents
    deliver value to the customer by offering vendor managed
    inventory, technical expertise and highly engineered products.
    Sales agents receive education in the best uses of our products
    enabling them to provide solutions customized to our customers
    needs. This includes
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">on-site</FONT>
    visits to help manage customer inventories, introducing cost

    analysis and replenishment is conducted to prevent unnecessary

    customized storage systems for improved organization and a more
    efficient workflow. Product demonstrations that can improve our

    delivered printed catalogs to approximately 70,000 retail
    customers and approximately 62,000 wholesale customers. We also

    We carry a significant amount of inventories to ensure product

    costs of stocking excess items. Technology is critical to
    provide management with timely information related to our
    current inventory on hand in relation to customer demand, vendor
    pricing and purchase lead times to order the replenishment of
    the optimal number of parts at the proper time at the best

    As of December&#160;31, 2008, we employed approximately 1,350
    full time workers, consisting of approximately 340 sales and
    marketing employees, 760 operations and distribution employees
    and 250 management and administrative staff. Approximately 12%
    of our workforce is represented by four collective bargaining
    agreements. We believe that our relations with our employees and

    for the fiscal year ended December&#160;31, 2008, the following
    factors should be considered in evaluating Lawson&#146;s
    business. Our operating results depend upon many factors and are
    subject to various risks and uncertainties. The material risks
    and uncertainties known to us which may cause the operating
    results to vary from anticipated results or which may negatively
    affect our operating results are as follows:

    results of operations may continue to be adversely impacted by

    In late 2007, the U.S.&#160;and world economies entered into a
    severe economic recession due to the effects of the subprime
    lending crisis, general credit market crisis, collateral effects
    on the finance and banking industries, volatile energy and
    commodity costs, concerns about inflation, slower economic
    activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate
    profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and
    liquidity concerns. These conditions make it difficult for our
    customers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business
    activities, and have caused U.S.&#160;and foreign businesses to
    slow spending on products throughout our industry, which
    adversely impacts our revenues and our ability to manage
    inventory levels, collect customer receivables and ultimately
    our profitability. We cannot predict the duration of the
    recession or the timing or strength of a subsequent economic
    recovery. Additionally, our stock price could decrease if
    investors have concerns that our business, financial condition,
    results of operations and capital requirements will be
    negatively impacted by a continued worldwide recession. A
    decrease in our stock price reduces the market value of the
    Company compared to the book value of our net assets, which may
    lead to further impairment of our assets.

    We entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the

    U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s Office for the Northern District of
    Illinois (the &#147;U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s Office), which
    provides for the payment of $30.0&#160;million in penalties to
    resolve our liability for the actions of our representatives in
    improperly providing gifts or awards to purchasing agents
    through our then-existing customer loyalty programs. The signing
    of the DPA may negatively affect our ability to do business with
    certain customers (both government and non-government
    customers). In addition, under the terms of the DPA, if it is
    determined that we deliberately gave false, incomplete or
    misleading information under the DPA or have committed any
    federal crimes subsequent to the DPA, or otherwise knowingly,
    intentionally, and materially violated any provision of the DPA,
    we may be subject to prosecution for any federal criminal
    violation of which the U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s Office has
    knowledge. We cannot predict the impact, if any, of the signing
    of the DPA on our business, financial condition, results of
    operations, and stock price.

    In December 2005, the FBI executed a search warrant for records
    at the Company&#146;s offices and informed the Company that it
    was conducting an investigation as to whether any of the
    Company&#146;s representatives improperly provided gifts or
    awards to purchasing agents (including government purchasing
    agents) through the Company&#146;s customer loyalty programs
    (the &#147;investigation&#148;). The U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s
    Office for the Northern District of Illinois (the
    &#147;U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s Office&#148;) subsequently

    In April 2007, thirteen people, including seven former sales
    agents of the Company, were indicted on federal criminal
    charges, including mail fraud, in connection with the
    investigation. These indictments alleged that, under the
    Company&#146;s customer loyalty programs, sales agents would
    provide cash gift certificates to individuals purchasing Company
    merchandise on behalf of their employers as a way to increase
    their commissions and prices paid by customers. All of the cases
    involved commissioned sales agents of the Company. All seven of
    the indicted former sales agents have entered guilty pleas to
    federal criminal charges.

    On August&#160;11, 2008, in connection with the investigation,
    the Company entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the
    &#147;DPA&#148;) with the U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s Office. An
    additional three people, including a former sales manager and a
    former sales agent were indicted on August&#160;11, 2008 and
    have since pled guilty. Under the terms of the DPA, the
    U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s Office filed a one count criminal
    Information charging the Company with mail fraud in the
    U.S.&#160;District Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
    but agreed to defer prosecution of such charge for three years.
    If the Company abides by the terms and conditions of the DPA,
    the U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s Office will seek dismissal with
    prejudice of the Information within 30&#160;days of the
    expiration of the three-year period.

    Pursuant to the DPA, the Company agreed to a $30.0&#160;million
    penalty, which includes $0.8&#160;million of restitution, and
    recorded a charge of $30.0&#160;million in the second quarter of
    2008. The penalty is payable in three equal installments. The
    first $10.0&#160;million payment was made in August 2008. The
    remaining $10.0&#160;million payments are due in August 2009 and
    in August 2010. If a controlling interest in the Company is

    Under the DPA, the Company agreed to make restitution payments
    to certain customers that employed individuals who received over
    ten thousand dollars in payments through the Winners Choice
    incentive program, that employed individuals who have been or
    later are convicted of mail fraud as a result of Winners Choice
    payments, or that purchased Company merchandise from sales
    agents who have been or later are convicted of mail fraud for
    providing checks to the customer&#146;s employees. Restitution
    payments were made to these customers from the Company&#146;s
    first installment payment.

    In conjunction with the Company&#146;s internal investigation,
    several customer loyalty programs were terminated because the
    Company believes that these programs provided or had the
    potential of providing promotional considerations, such as gifts
    and awards, to purchasing agents that the Company deemed
    inappropriate. The Company has modified another customer loyalty
    program to limit the amount and nature of customer gifts
    distributed under the program. In addition, twenty-three
    independent agents have been terminated, a number have resigned
    and the Company has terminated four employees. The Company has
    also implemented a compliance and ethics program to prevent
    future abuses. Under the terms of the DPA, the Company agreed to
    continue to implement its compliance and ethics program.

    The two principal factors affecting our 2008 results were the
    one-time $30.0&#160;million DPA settlement penalty and the
    global economic recession and contraction in the credit markets
    that led to decreased customer demand throughout our industry.
    The duration of the recession is uncertain and industry demand
    is expected to continue to decline and create downward pressure
    on sales volume in 2009. Despite the negative effects of the
    economy, we were able to take steps to improve our financial
    condition during 2008. Operationally, we made progress in
    integrating previously separate businesses to allow our
    customers access to an expanded range of products from a single
    point of contact. We were able to generate cash by reducing our
    working capital requirements primarily through initiatives taken
    to improve inventory management. Additionally, the settlement
    with the United States Attorney&#146;s Office for the Northern
    District of Illinois substantially brings to a close the
    uncertainty created by the investigation initiated in 2005.

    The 5.3% decrease in net sales to $485.2&#160;million in 2008
    compared to $512.5&#160;million in 2007 resulted from decreases
    in both the MRO and OEM segments as our businesses were
    negatively impacted by the slowdown in the global economy. Net
    sales of our MRO business experienced a severe decline of 14.3%
    in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 as our customers,
    affected by overall weakness in the economy and a much more
    restrictive credit environment, reduced their purchasing
    requirements. We expect the demand level to continue to
    deteriorate until the credit markets recover and the global
    economic environment improves. Sales were also negatively
    impacted by a net reduction of over 100 sales agents in 2008
    compared to 2007. Net sales of our OEM segment decreased
    $1.4&#160;million due to customer losses and the economic
    slowdown in the fourth quarter, partially offset by increased
    sales generated from some of our current customers.

    Gross profit decreased $24.8&#160;million to $279.0&#160;million
    in 2008 primarily due to the reduction in net sales and a
    decline of 1.8&#160;percentage points as a percent of sales. The
    decline was primarily attributable to higher product and
    commodity costs.

    compensation expenses. Selling, general and administrative costs
    as a percent of sales increased 1.0&#160;percentage points to

    improper gifts or awards to purchasing agents (including
    government purchasing agents) through our customer loyalty
    programs. In August 2008, in connection with the investigation,
    we entered into the DPA with the U.S.&#160;Attorney&#146;s
    Office and agreed to pay a $30.0&#160;million penalty. In
    addition to the penalty, we incurred legal and other expenses of
    $1.7&#160;million in 2008 and $5.8&#160;million in 2007 in
    connection with the investigation.

    In 2008, the Company recorded $9.3&#160;million of severance and
    other charges. Of this amount, $5.4&#160;million related to
    severance costs associated with the departure of certain
    executives and operational efficiency improvement initiatives
    and $3.9&#160;million related to unclaimed property liabilities
    primarily associated with years prior to 2003. During 2007, the
    Company implemented several initiatives designed to improve
    operating efficiencies. As a result of these initiatives,
    certain positions and departments were eliminated and
    restructured, resulting in $12.3&#160;million of severance costs
    and other charges.

    The decrease in net sales to $512.5&#160;million in 2007
    compared to $514.3&#160;million in 2006 resulted from decreases
    in both the MRO and OEM segments. The sales decrease for MRO
    businesses was primarily driven by lower sales of metalworking
    products due to order fulfillment problems encountered during
    the Reno, Nevada distribution facility expansion which was
    completed in December 2007. OEM sales decreased primarily due to
    the loss of some customer contracts.

    foreign currency gains realized in 2007 compared to 2006.

    The effective tax rates for continuing operations for 2007 and
    2006 were 43.5% and 45.5%, respectively. The higher effective
    tax rate in 2006 primarily reflects adjustments related to the
    deductibility of the Company&#146;s customer loyalty programs in
    its MRO business for tax years 2005, 2004 and 2003. Many of the
    customer loyalty and promotion programs in place for these years

    Cash provided by operating activities for 2008, 2007 and 2006
    was $15.7&#160;million, $11.6&#160;million and
    $19.9&#160;million, respectively. The $4.1&#160;million increase
    in 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily due to improved working
    capital utilization which was mostly offset by a decrease in net
    income and the $10.0&#160;million payment related to the DPA
    penalty. The $8.3&#160;million decline in 2007 cash provided by
    operating activities from 2006 was due primarily to lower net
    income and increases in inventories, prepaid expenses and
    miscellaneous receivables.

    Working capital at December&#160;31, 2008 and 2007 was
    $90.0&#160;million and $99.1&#160;million, respectively. The
    $9.1&#160;million decrease in working capital is primarily
    attributable to a $10.4&#160;million reduction in inventory, and
    a $10.3&#160;million reduction in accounts receivable, partially
    offset by decreases in other liabilities. Initiatives taken to
    improve the inventory management process led to the lower
    inventory balance, while increased attention to collections and
    a reduction in sales during the fourth quarter led to the
    decrease in the amount of outstanding accounts receivable.

    In November 2008, we entered into a First Amended and Restated
    Credit Agreement (the &#147;Credit Facility&#148;) with Bank of
    America, N.A. The Credit Facility provides for a total
    commitment of $75&#160;million in the form of revolving loans
    and letters of credit and matures on November&#160;7, 2011. The
    interest rate for the Credit Facility bears interest at either,
    LIBOR plus 0.625%, or the prime rate minus 1.0%, as elected by
    us. The interest rate may be adjusted based on the ratio of
    consolidated total debt to EBITDA calculated on the basis of our
    most recent annual or quarterly financial statements. We had
    $7.7&#160;million outstanding as of December&#160;31, 2008 under
    the Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate was 3.2%
    for the year ended December&#160;31, 2008. The Credit Facility
    specifies certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge
    coverage and total debt to equity and minimum net worth
    calculations which must be met as of the end of each fiscal
    quarter. At December&#160;31, 2008 we were in compliance with
    all covenants.

    In March 2009 we amended the Credit Facility (the &#147;Amended
    Credit Facility&#148;), reducing the amount of the facility,
    adjusting the covenants and providing additional security to
    Bank of America, N.A. The Amended Credit Facility provides for a
    total commitment of $55&#160;million. The maturity date remains
    November&#160;7, 2011. The interest rate is LIBOR plus a margin
    of 2.0% to 3.5%, based on the ratio of total debt to EBITDA. The
    Amended Credit Facility contains covenants for adjusted EBITDA,
    as defined in the agreement, for each quarter through
    September&#160;30, 2009. Commencing with the quarter ending
    December&#160;31, 2009, additional covenants will be in place,
    including fixed charge coverage, total debt to equity and
    minimum net worth, as defined in the credit agreement. The
    Amended Credit Facility places a restriction on quarterly
    dividends of $0.26&#160;million, or $1.04&#160;million on an
    annual basis. The Amended Credit Facility is secured by
    substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding real
    property and the capital stock of the Company&#146;s
    subsidiaries, except for the stock of Lawson Canada. The Company
    paid an amendment fee of $0.1&#160;million.

    <I>Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Methodology</I>&#160;&#151;
    We evaluate the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a
    combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a
    specific customer&#146;s inability to meet its financial
    obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial down-grading
    of credit ratings), a specific reserve for bad debts is recorded
    against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount we
    believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize
    reserves for bad debts based on our historical experience of bad
    debt write-offs as a percent of accounts receivable outstanding.
    If circumstances change (i.e., higher than expected defaults or
    an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer&#146;s
    ability to meet its financial obligations), the estimates of the
    recoverability of amounts due to us could be revised by a
    material amount. In 2008, we recorded an allowance reserve equal
    to 3% of our trade receivables outstanding. A hypothetical
    change of one percent to our reserve allowance would have
    affected our annual doubtful accounts expense by approximately
    $0.5&#160;million.

    <I>Inventory Reserves</I>&#160;&#151; We carry a significant
    amount of inventory as part of our strategy to fulfill the vast
    majority of our customers&#146; orders the same day received.
    However, this strategy increases the chance that portions of the
    inventory have lost value through obsolescence or becoming
    slow-moving or excess. To reduce inventory to a lower of cost or
    market value, we record a reserve for slow-moving and obsolete
    inventory. Obsolete and slow-moving inventory is monitored by
    examining reports of parts which have not been sold for extended
    periods. If experience or market conditions change, estimates of
    the reserves needed could be revised by a material amount. In
    2008, we have an allowance reserve of $10.1&#160;million equal
    to approximately 10% of our total inventory. A hypothetical
    change of one percent to our reserve allowance would have
    affected our selling, general and administrative expenses by
    approximately $1.0&#160;million.

    Internal Control&#160;&#151; Integrated Framework issued by the

    (the &#147;COSO&#148; criteria). Lawson Products, Inc.&#146;s

    control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
    effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
    included in the accompanying Management&#146;s Report on

    We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
    Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
    standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
    reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
    over financial reporting was maintained in all material
    respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
    internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
    that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the
    design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
    the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we
    considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
    audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a
    process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
    reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
    financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#146;s
    internal control over financial reporting includes those
    policies and procedures that (1)&#160;pertain to the maintenance
    of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
    reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
    company; (2)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that the
    transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
    financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
    company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
    management and directors of the company; and (3)&#160;provide
    reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
    unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
    company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
    financial statements.

    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
    financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
    Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
    periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
    inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
    of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
    In our opinion, Lawson Products, Inc. maintained in all material
    respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
    of December&#160;31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.

    <I>Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Methodology</I>&#160;&#151;
    The Company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable
    based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the
    Company is aware of a specific customer&#146;s inability to meet
    its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial
    down-grading of credit ratings), a specific reserve for bad
    debts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the receivable
    to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected.
    For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad
    debts based on the Company&#146;s historical experience of bad
    debt write-offs as a percent of accounts receivable outstanding.
    If circumstances change (i.e., higher than expected defaults or
    an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer&#146;s
    ability to meet its financial obligations), the estimates of the
    recoverability of amounts due the Company could be revised by a
    material amount.

    <I>Income Taxes</I>&#160;&#151; Deferred tax assets or
    liabilities reflect temporary differences between amounts of
    assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such
    amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax
    rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences
    reverse. A valuation allowance is established to offset any
    deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is
    more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets
    will not be realized. The determination of the amount of a
    valuation allowance to be provided on recorded deferred tax
    assets involves estimates regarding (1)&#160;the timing and
    amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences,
    (2)&#160;expected future taxable income, and (3)&#160;the impact
    of tax planning strategies. In assessing the need for a
    valuation allowance, the Company considers all available
    positive and negative evidence, including past operating
    results, projections of future taxable income and the
    feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. The projections
    of future taxable income include a number of estimates and
    assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs.
    Additionally, valuation allowances related to deferred tax
    assets can be impacted by changes to tax laws.

    The Company reviews goodwill annually for impairment as required

    the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated

    estimated fair value. In the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company
    determined, based on market prices of comparable businesses and
    forecasted discounted cash flows, that the goodwill associated
    with its OEM segment was impaired and recorded a non-cash charge
    of $2,251 for the year ended December&#160;31, 2008.

    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
    differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
    liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
    used for income tax purposes. The Company also has a $8,154
    capital loss carryforward remaining related to the 2003 sale of
    the Company&#146;s UK MRO business and the closure of its Mexico
    operations. A valuation allowance is recorded for all of the
    capital loss carryforward due to the uncertainty of the
    Company&#146;s ability to realize the capital loss against
    future capital gains prior to expiration in 2008.

    interest rate may be adjusted based on the Company&#146;s ratio
    of consolidated total debt to EBITDA calculated on the basis of

    statements. The Credit Facility also specifies unused commitment
    fees that are assessed based on the average unused balance and
    the Company&#146;s ratio of total debt to EBITDA. The Credit
    Facility is secured by a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of
    the Company&#146;s subsidiary, Lawson Products, Inc. (Ontario)
    (&#147;Lawson Canada&#148;). The Credit Facility specifies
    certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage
    and total debt to equity calculation which must be met as of the
    end of each fiscal quarter. At December&#160;31, 2008 the
    Company was in compliance with all covenants.

    In March 2009 the Company amended the Credit Facility (the
    &#147;Amended Credit Facility&#148;), reducing the amount of the
    facility, adjusting the covenants and providing additional
    security to Bank of America, N.A. The Amended Credit Facility
    provides for a total commitment of $55.0&#160;million. The
    maturity date remains November&#160;7, 2011. The interest rate
    is LIBOR plus a margin of 2.0% to 3.5%, based on the ratio of
    total debt to EBITDA. The Amended Credit Facility contains
    covenants for adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, for
    each quarter through September&#160;30, 2009. Commencing with
    the quarter ending December&#160;31, 2009, additional covenants
    will be in place, including fixed charge coverage, total debt to
    equity and minimum net worth, as defined in the credit
    agreement. The Amended Credit Facility places a restriction on
    quarterly dividends of $260, or $1,040 on an annual basis. The
    Amended Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the
    assets of the Company, excluding real property and the capital
    stock of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries, except for the stock
    of Lawson Canada. The Company paid an amendment fee of $100.

    their commissions and prices paid by customers. All of the cases

    of&#160;employees in approximately 15&#160;states. The Company
    may have exposure for penalties and interest for state income
    taxes withholdings and payroll tax returns, however, since the
    amount is subject to further analysis and interpretations by
    state taxing jurisdictions, the Company is unable to reasonably
    estimate the amount of the exposure at this time.

    commercial, institutional, and governmental maintenance repair
    and operations marketplace. The Company&#146;s OEM segment
    manufactures, sells and distributes production and specialized
    component parts to the original equipment marketplace. The
    Company&#146;s two reportable segments are distinguished by the
    nature of products distributed and sold, types of customers and
    manner of servicing them. The Company evaluates performance and
    allocates resources to reportable segments primarily based on

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Executive, upon notice of termination of his employment, shall immediately return to
Lawson all Company property, including without limitation the property and information
described in paragraphs 4 or 5 hereof, in whatever form, together with all copies thereof in
his possession or under his control.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Lawson shall pay to Executive, within thirty (30)&nbsp;days following the effective date
of termination of his employment, the sum of any compensation or benefits or other amounts due
to him from Lawson as may be accrued for periods prior to the effective date of termination
and not previously paid, less the sum of any payments, advances, loans and other charges due
and owing from Executive to Company.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event of termination pursuant to paragraph 3.1(a) or 3.1(b) hereof during the
first twelve-month period following Executive&#146;s commencement of employment with the Lawson,
Lawson shall, in return for Executive&#146;s performance of the Consulting Services (as defined
below), pay to Executive an amount equal to one year&#146;s salary; otherwise, Lawson shall have no
obligation to Executive. In the event of termination pursuant to paragraph 3.1(a) or 3.1(b)
hereof after the first twelve-month period following Executive&#146;s commencement of employment
with Lawson, Lawson shall, in return for Executive&#146;s performance of the Consulting Services (as
defined below), pay to Executive an amount equal to one year&#146;s annual Salary plus two
additional months&#146; Salary (to a maximum of twelve additional months Salary) for each complete
year Executive has been employed by Lawson after the initial twelve-month period of employment
by the Lawson. (For example, if Executive is employed for six (6)&nbsp;years, Executive would be
paid one year&#146;s annual Salary plus an additional ten (10)&nbsp;months of that annual Salary).
Amounts due to Executive under this paragraph 3.3(c) shall be paid to Executive in equal,
semi-monthly installments as though Executive had continued in the employ of the Lawson for the
period of time upon which such payment is based. (For example, if Executive is entitled to an
amount equal to six months&#146; Salary, such amount shall be paid to Executive in equal
semi-monthly installments over the six-month period immediately following the effective date of
termination.) The period of time in which Lawson is obligated to provide salary continuation
payments to Executive pursuant to this paragraph 3.3(c) is referred to herein as the &#147;Salary
Continuation Period&#148;. During the Salary Continuation Period, Executive shall be entitled to
continued health and life insurance coverage on substantially the same basis afforded to him
prior to termination of Executive&#146;s employment. During the Salary Continuation Period,
Executive shall, upon request of the Company, make himself reasonably available on a limited
basis from time to time to consult with Lawson regarding the business affairs of the Company
(the <B>&#147;Consulting Services&#148;); </B>provided, however, Executive&#146;s Consulting Services shall be
limited to not more than twenty-four (24)&nbsp;hours in any calendar quarter and so that such
consulting does not interfere with Executive&#146;s employment time commitments with any successor
employer.

shall have no obligation to provide for post-termination compensation or benefits to Executive

Financial Officer of the Company. Prior to agreeing to serve as Principal Accounting Officer of the
Company, Employee requests up to two weeks to conduct his own due diligence with regards to
Company&#146;s accounting, controls and procedures and conduct discussions with assigned audit partner
from Ernst &#038; Young and Chairman of the Audit Committee. This letter along with the terms and
conditions attached as Exhibit&nbsp;A and any other exhibits or schedules attached hereto (collectively,
the &#147;Agreement&#148;) confirms our mutual understanding of the terms and conditions upon which we will
make available to you the Employee and Tatum&#146;s intellectual capital to the Employee for use in

acknowledge and agree that the Salary and Fees set forth above are based upon this Agreement having
a minimum term of three months (the &#147;Minimum Term&#148;). In the event you terminate this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the Minimum Term other than for the Employee&#146;s material failure to
perform the obligations of his or her position with the Company, provided the Employee fails to
cure such breach within 10&nbsp;days after receipt of written notice of such breach, you agree that the
Salary shall be retroactively increased to $40,250 a month and the Fees shall be retroactively
increased to $17,000 a month. You agree to pay upon the termination of this Agreement a lump sum
amount (i)&nbsp;to the Employee equal to the difference between the Salary actually paid and the Salary
that should have been paid taking into account the retroactive adjustment, and (ii)&nbsp;to Tatum equal
to the difference between the Fees actually paid and the Fees that should have been paid taking
into account the retroactive adjustment. Payments for the first and last pay periods will be
prorated based on the number of days worked and the number of work days in the pay period. Fees for
the first and last periods worked will be invoiced by Tatum and paid within ten (10)&nbsp;days of
receipt of invoice.

public sale of certain of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<U>Securities Act</U>&#148;), and applicable state law,

present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities (&#147;<U>Affected

Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or

to such Grantor than if such Affected Collateral was sold either at public sales or at
private sales not subject to other regulatory restrictions, and that the Secured Party has
no obligation to delay the sale of any Affected Collateral for the period of time necessary
to permit the Grantor or any other Person to register or otherwise qualify them under or
exempt them from any applicable restriction, even if such Grantor or other Person would
agree to register or otherwise qualify or exempt such Affected Collateral so
