taxes payable by Executive on account of such reimbursement.
(e) All expense reimbursement requests under this Section 7 shall be submitted to the

pay, following the effective date of termination.
(d) The Corporation shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment under this
Agreement at any time for cause which termination shall be effective immediately.

Section 9. Confidentiality/Nondisclosure. Executive covenants and agrees that any
and all information concerning the customers, businesses and services of the Corporation of which
