diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive arising from the personal
uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control,
to encourage the Executive&#146;s full attention and dedication to the Company
currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and
to provide the Executive with reasonable compensation and benefit arrangements
upon a Change of Control.</font></p>
