event a _Forfeiture Termination_) prior to January 2, 2001. If a Forfeiture
Termination occurs, then Employee shall forfeit: (a) all of such shares if

and assignment on ordinary terms of such policies.
(b) Employer has purchased and, so long as Employee is employed by
Employer, shall continue to pay premiums for a $1,000,000.00 key man term life
