Term and the Executive&#146;s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company
for &#147;Cause.&#148; For purposes of this Agreement, &#147;CAUSE&#148; shall mean (i)&nbsp;the
Executive&#146;s gross neglect of, or willful and continued failure to substantially
perform, his duties hereunder (other than as a result of total or partial
incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii)&nbsp;a willful act by the
Executive against the interests of the Company or which causes or is intended
to cause harm to the Company or its stockholders; (iii)&nbsp;the Executive&#146;s
conviction, or plea of no contest or guilty, to a felony under the laws of the
United States or any state thereof or of a lesser offense involving dishonesty,
the theft of Company property or moral turpitude; or (iv)&nbsp;a material
breach of the Agreement by the Executive which is not cured by the Executive
within twenty (20) days (where the breach is curable) following written notice
to the Executive by the Company of the nature of the breach. Upon termination
of the Executive&#146;s employment for Cause pursuant to this Section&nbsp;7(a), the

the Executive is unable for an aggregate of six (6)&nbsp;months in any twelve
(12) consecutive month period to perform his duties due to the Executive&#146;s
physical or mental incapacity, as reasonably determined by the Board (such
incapacity is hereinafter referred to as &#147;DISABILITY&#148;). Upon termination of the
Executive&#146;s employment hereunder for either Disability or death, the Executive
or his estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive (i)&nbsp;any
accrued and unpaid Base Salary and Benefits and (ii)&nbsp;a bonus for the
calendar year in which termination occurs, equal to the bonus which the
Executive would have been entitled to if he had remained employed by the
Company at the end of such calendar year, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days in such calendar year preceding the
date of death or termination of employment and the denominator of which is 365
(a &#147;PRO RATA BONUS&#148;). Upon termination of the Executive&#146;s employment due to
Disability or death pursuant to this Section&nbsp;7(b), the Executive shall
have no additional rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this
Agreement. All other benefits, if any, due the Executive following his

the Company without &#147;Cause.&#148; If the Executive&#146;s employment is terminated by the
Company without &#147;Cause&#148; (other than by reason of Disability or death), the

PAYMENT&#148;), (iii)&nbsp;continuation of the Executive&#146;s health and dental
insurance coverage on the same basis as those benefits are generally made

this Section&nbsp;7(c), Executive shall have no additional rights to any

the event the Executive terminates his employment, other than for Good Reason
(as hereinafter defined); PROVIDED that the President may, in his sole
discretion, terminate the Executive&#146;s employment with the Company prior to the
expiration of the thirty-day notice period. In such event and upon the
expiration of such thirty-day period (or such shorter time as the President in
his sole discretion may determine), the Executive&#146;s employment under this
Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate, and the Executive
shall be limited to receiving any Base Salary earned and unpaid as of the

may terminate his employment hereunder for &#147;Good Reason&#148; at any time during the
Employment Term. For purposes of the Agreement, &#147;GOOD REASON&#148; shall mean (i)&nbsp;a
material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Company, (ii)&nbsp;the
Company requiring the Executive to move his primary place of employment more
than thirty-five (35) miles from the then current place of employment, if such
move materially increases his commute, or (iii)&nbsp;a material diminution of
the Executive&#146;s responsibilities, PROVIDED that any of the foregoing is not
cured by the Company within twenty (20) days following receipt of written
notice by the Executive to the Company of the specific nature of the breach. No
termination for Good Reason shall be permitted unless the Company shall have
first received written notice from the Executive describing the basis of such
termination for Good Reason. A termination of the Executive&#146;s employment for
Good Reason pursuant to this Section&nbsp;7(e)&nbsp;shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a termination by the Company without Cause and
the provisions of Section&nbsp;7(c)&nbsp;relating to the payment of
compensation and benefits shall apply.</font></p>

beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive any benefits that may be provided for
under the terms of an employee benefit plan in which the Executive is participating

to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all
payments, other than the payment of any accrued and unpaid Base Salary and
Benefits, to which the Executive is entitled under this Section&nbsp;7 are conditioned
