4 EXE______,CWG______
or control occurs. In addition, in the event of a "change of ownership, the
vesting of all Executive Stock Options shall be fully accelerated as of the date
of the change of ownership. For purposes of this Section 5.4, a "change in the
ownership" of the Corporation will be deemed to have (i) occurred upon the
completion of a transaction resulting in a consolidation, merger, combination or
other transaction in which the common stock of the Corporation is exchanged for

the holders of the Corporation's common stock immediately prior to completion of
such transaction are not, immediately following completion of such transaction,

any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constituted the board of directors of the Corporation
(together with any new or replacement directors whose election by the board of
directors, or whose nomination for election, was approved by a vote of at least
a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at
the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for reelection was
previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the
directors then in office. In the event that Executive shall become entitled to
payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the
"nature of compensation" (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any
other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Corporation, any person whose
actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section
280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any
person affiliated with the Corporation or such person) as a result of such
change in ownership or effective control (collectively the "Corporation
Payments"), and such Corporation Payments will be subject to the tax (the
"Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the Corporation shall pay to
Executive, subject to required withholding, at the time specified in the last
sentence of this paragraph, an additional amount (the "Gross-up Payment") such
that the net amount retained by Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on
the Corporation Payments and on the Gross-Up Payment provided for under this
paragraph and any U.S. federal, state, and local income or payroll tax upon the
Gross-up Payment provided for by this paragraph shall be equal to the
Corporation Payments. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently
determined by the Corporation to be less than the amount taken into account
hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made, Executive shall repay to the
Corporation or, in the event that the Corporation shall have then already been
liquidated or dissolved, any then-existing liquidating trust of which some or
all of the shareholders of the Corporation are beneficiaries, at the time that
the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of
the prior Gross-up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of
the Gross-up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and U.S. federal, state and
local income tax imposed on the portion of the Gross-up Payment being repaid by
Executive). In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the
Corporation or the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into
account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason
of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time
of the Gross-up Payment), the Corporation or, in the event that the Corporation
shall have then already been liquidated or dissolved, any then-existing
liquidating trust established for the purpose of repaying or otherwise
discharging the debts of the Corporation, shall make an additional Gross-up
Payment in respect of such excess (plus any
5 EXE______,CWG______
interest or penalties payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the
amount of such excess is finally determined. The Gross-up Payment or portion
thereof provided for in this paragraph shall be paid not later than the
thirtieth (30th) day following delivery by Executive to the Corporation of
notice that an event that subjects Executive to the Excise Tax has occurred;
provided, however, that if the amount of such Gross-up Payment or portion
thereof cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Corporation
shall pay to Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by
the Corporation, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the
remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) promptly following such time as the amount
thereof has been determined.
5.5 Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Notice of Termination" shall mean a written document delivered to the Executive
(if termination is by the Corporation) or to the Corporation (if a voluntary
termination by the Executive), which shall specify the section of this Agreement
under which the termination occurs. Termination shall be effective on the date
that the Notice of Termination is effective, or any date specified by the
Corporation (if termination is by the Corporation). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Notice of Termination shall be effective immediately upon
termination for "cause."
6. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
------------------------------
6.1 Obligation. The Corporation shall indemnity and hold harmless,
and in any action, suit or proceeding, defend the Executive (with the Executive
having the right to use counsel of his choice) against all expenses, costs,
liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments and fines, and
amounts paid or to be paid in any settlement) (collectively, "Indemnified
Amounts") reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection with
the Executive's service as an employee of the Corporation or any affiliate to
the full extent permitted by the By-laws of the Corporation as in effect on the
date of this Agreement, or, if greater, as permitted by the general corporation
law of the jurisdiction of the Corporation's incorporation (the "GCL"), provided
that the indemnity afforded by the Corporation's By-laws shall never be greater
than permitted by the GCL. The Corporation shall advance on behalf of Executive
all Indemnified Amounts as they are incurred. To the extent a change in the GCL
(whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification than
is now afforded by the By-laws and a corresponding amendment shall not be made
in said By-laws, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Executive shall
enjoy the greater benefits so afforded by such change.
6.2 Determination. A determination that indemnification with
respect to any claims by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6 is proper
shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by he Board of Directors of
the Corporation and set forth in a written opinion furnished by such counsel to
the Board of Directors, the Corporation and the Executive. In the event it is
determined by such counsel that Executive is not entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Section 6 (and if contested by Executive, such determination is
confirmed by the final non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction), or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final
non-appealable order that Executive is not entitled to indemnification pursuant
to this Section 6, Executive shall promptly reimburse the Corporation for all
such advances of Indemnified Amounts made by the Corporation on Executive's
behalf.
6 EXE______,CWG______
6.3 Notice of Claims. The Executive shall advise promptly the
Corporation in writing of the institution of any action, suit or proceeding
which is or may be subject to this Section 6, provided that Executive's failure
to so advise the Corporation shall not affect the indemnification provided for
herein, except to the extent such failure has a material and adverse effect on
the Corporation's ability to defend such action, suit or proceeding.
6.4 Indemnification Insurance. The Executive shall be covered by
insurance, to the same extent as other employees of the Corporation are covered
by insurance, with respect to (a) directors and officers liability, (b) errors
and omissions, and (c) general liability insurance. The Corporation shall
maintain reasonable and customary insurance of the type specified in parts (b)
and (c) in the preceding sentence. The Executive shall be a named insured or
additional insured, without right of subrogation against him or her, under any
policies of insurance carried by the Corporation. The Corporation will, in good
faith, make efforts to maintain insurance coverage of the type specified in part
(a) above at commercially reasonable rates, but the failure to obtain such
coverage shall not constitute a breach of the Corporation's obligations
hereunder.

thereafter for a period of two (2) years, Executive shall keep secret and retain

the Corporation and authorized to receive such information in the ordinary
course of business.
7.2 Return of Documents. Promptly upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, or whenever requested by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, the Executive shall return or cause to be returned to the
