This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties and may be amended only by a writing signed by each of them. This Agreement supersedes all prior arrangements and agreements between the parties, except any Change of Control Agreement

this Employment Agreement will cease to apply, and Employee will be entitled to no benefits under this Employment Agreement, including the severance benefits in Section&nbsp;2.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, except as provided in
Section&nbsp;3.07, Employee&#146;s obligations under Article III will continue even if there is a Change of Control. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
