unintentional physical damage to any property of the Company by Executive
shall be a ground for such a determination by the Board of Directors of the
Company) after written notice with specificity as to the conduct or
activities complained of and a reasonable opportunity is given to Executive
to cure the same, or (c) if Executive has failed without reasonable cause
to devote his Full Time and best efforts to the business of the Company
and, after notice from the Company of such failure, Executive at any time

benefits payable hereunder, such as un-reimbursed relocation and out-of-pocket
expenses, such payments to be in addition to any payments Executive's spouse,
beneficiaries or estate may be entitled to receive pursuant to any pension or
executive benefit plan or life insurance policy presently maintained by the
Company, and such payments shall fully discharge the Company's obligations
hereunder. All stock options granted to the executive from and after the date

Executive's death, Executive's beneficiaries or the estate shall be able to
exercise any such options within eighteen (18) months of the date of Executive's
death.
(b) In the Event of Physical or Mental Illness. During any period
------------------------------------------
that Executive fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity
due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall continue to receive his full
Base Salary and bonus payments until Executive's employment is terminated for
Total Disability pursuant to subparagraph (i) of Section 3 hereof. After
termination, Executive shall be paid his Base Salary at the rate in effect at
the time Notice of Termination is given less, in each case, any disability
payments otherwise payable by or pursuant to plans provided by the Company and
actually paid to Executive in substantially equal monthly installments over the
remaining term hereof, and other benefits payable hereunder, such as un-
reimbursed relocation and out-of-pocket expenses, and the Company shall have no
further obligations to Executive under this Agreement. All stock options granted
to the executive from and after the date hereof shall become vested and

shall be able to exercise such options within six (6) months of the date of the
Notice of Termination.

-----
the Company shall pay Executive the amount of his accrued but unpaid Base Salary
through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of
Termination is given and the Company shall have no further obligations to
Executive under this Agreement. If Executive's employment shall be terminated
for Cause within the first twelve (12) months of employment, the Executive shall
reimburse the Company in full for all relocation expenses paid or reimbursed by
the Company pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement and the Swing Loan, if
then outstanding.
(d) Wrongful Termination. If in breach of this Agreement, the
--------------------
Company shall terminate Executive's employment other than in the manner allowed
pursuant to Section 3 hereof (a purported termination pursuant to Section 3
hereof which is disputed and finally determined not to have been proper shall be
a termination by the Company in breach of this Agreement), or if Executive
terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, then:
(i) the Company shall pay Executive his full Base Salary and any
other benefits payable hereunder, such as un-reimbursed relocation or out-of-
pocket expenses, through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the
time Notice of Termination is given;
(ii) the company shall continue to reimburse Executive for relocation
expenses in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof;
(iii) in lieu of any further salary payments to Executive for periods
subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as severance pay to
Executive an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the sum of (i) the
annual Base Salary at the highest rate in effect during the twelve (12) months
immediately preceding the Date of Termination and (ii) the highest annual bonus
payments paid or accrued pursuant to this Agreement, with such amount being paid
to Executive in substantially equal monthly installments for a three (3) month
period following the Date of Termination; and
(iv) all stock options granted to the Executive hereunder and from
and after the date hereof shall become vested and immediately exercisable in
accordance with the plans or plans pursuant to which such options are to be
issued. If no stock option plan exists at the time of such termination,
Executive shall be able to exercise such options at his discretion within six
(6) months of the date of termination of his employment.
(e) Voluntary Termination by Executive. If Executive terminates his
----------------------------------
employment with the Company voluntarily, then:
(i) the Company shall pay Executive his full Base Salary through the
Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is
given;
6
(ii) all unvested options granted shall terminate and vested options
may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the plan or plans pursuant to
which such options are to be issued; and
(iii) if Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the
Company prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, the Executive shall
reimburse the Company in full for all relocation expenses paid or reimbursed by
the Company pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement and the Swing Loan, if
then outstanding.
(f) Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
----------
amount of any payment provided for in this Section 6 by seeking other employment
or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 6
be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment
by another employer after the Date of Termination.
SECTION 7. Successors; Binding Agreement.
-----------------------------
(a) Successor Companies. The Company shall require any successor
-------------------
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle Executive to compensation from the Company in the
same amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if he
terminated his employment for Good Reason as set forth in Section 3(iv), except
that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such
succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in
this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid, which executes and
delivers the Agreement provided for in this Section 7(a) or which otherwise
becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of
law.
(b) Executive's Estate and Heirs. This Agreement and all rights of
----------------------------
Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die
while any amounts would still be payable to his hereunder if he had continued to
live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive's devisee, legatee, or
other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Executive's estate.
7

the Company); and
8
(iii) while he is in the Company's employ and through the period
ending one (1) year after the termination of his employment (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily) for any reason whatsoever, except for

and is not generally known by its competitors, provided, however, that no
-------- -------
information will be deemed confidential unless it is known to the Executive to
be confidential information or has been reduced to writing and marked clearly
and conspicuously as confidential information. Confidential Information shall
not include any data or information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the
public by the Company (except where such public disclosure has been made without

disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain through lawful
means. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information
