the date of the Employee's Termination of Employment. The Company agrees
that in the event that it is permitted by the terms of any Subordinating
Agreement to repurchase shares of its Common Stock in cash, it shall
promptly exercise its rights to complete any such repurchase delayed
pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), provided that any such repurchase shall be
