acceptable to him or otherwise to obtain income required for the
comfortable support of him and his family and the satisfaction of
the needs of his creditors. The Executive acknowledges and confirms
that his special knowledge of the business of the Employer is such
as would cause Employer serious injury or loss if he were to use
such ability and knowledge to the benefit of a competitor or were to
compete with the Employer in violation of the terms of this Section
6. The Executive further acknowledges that the restrictions
contained in this Section 6 are
9
intended to be, and shall be, for the benefit of and shall be
enforceable by, Employer's successors and assigns.

competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this
Section 6 is invalid or more restrictive than permitted under the
governing law of such jurisdiction, then only as to enforcement of
this Section 6 within the jurisdiction of such court, such provision
shall be interpreted and enforced as if it provided for the maximum
restriction permitted under such governing law.

in the first paragraph of this Agreement) in excess of seventy-five
(75) miles shall be treated as a termination without cause of the
Executive. If the Executive is a licensed professional, e.g.,
Certified Public Accountant or attorney-at-law, then any situation
where the Executive is asked to take, certify or sanction any course
of action which such licensed professional Executive is prohibited
from doing by his/her profession's rules, regulations, or code of
ethics and such action or refusal to take such action in any way
leads to
11
the Executive's termination or resignation, then such termination

entitled to the cash equivalent of that benefit.

granted stock options shall immediately vest upon a Termination
without Cause and shall be exerciseable and may be sold by Executive
subject to no restrictions by Employer (other than those imposed by
the Employer's then current xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy or by federal and
state securities laws).
(c) The Employer shall have no further liability hereunder
(other than for reimbursement for reasonable business expenses

reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the date of
termination, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 5(a)).
(c) Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 10 by the

employment had been terminated by Employer without Cause. Employer
shall have no further liability hereunder (other than for
reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the
date of termination, subject, however, to the provisions of Section
5(a)).

(i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties
inconsistent in any material respect with the Executive's position
(including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements),
authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3

a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or
responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and
which is remedied by Employer promptly after receipt of notice
thereof given by the Executive.
(ii) any failure by Employer to comply with any of the
material provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement, other than an
isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad

the Executive; or
