minimum amount of fifty thousand (50,000) shares of the Corporation’s Common
Stock, each in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Plan.  Such options shall vest in accordance with the terms of the
Plan, a copy of which shall be provided to Executive.  All options to
purchase shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock shall be granted annually to
Executive on the same date as all other stock options are granted to the

the Corporation from granting Executive additional options such as the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may
authorize from time to time.

    


    4.3. Expenses.  The
Corporation shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary

regulations.  In addition, the Corporation shall continue to keep in
force and effect all health, insurance and welfare benefits for Executive and
Executive’s dependents for a period of the lesser of the balance of the term of
this Agreement from the date of Executive’s termination or until Executive and
his dependents are eligible for similar health, insurance and welfare benefits

employment is terminated due to Executive’s death or Total Disability or if

all stock options granted to Executive under the Plan (“Stock Options”) shall
automatically become fully vested and immediately exercisable.

    


    (b) In the
event Executive is terminated without cause, or if the Executive terminates for
Good Reason, then Executive’s previously granted and unexercised Stock Options
shall continue to vest on their regular vesting dates until the date this
Agreement would have terminated had there not been a termination.

    


    (c) In the
event Executive is terminated For Cause or leaves his employment hereunder other

from a disability insurance policy owned by the Corporation are paid to
Executive or his designee, the Corporation shall receive a credit against its

disclose as a result of a governmental investigation or by a court
order.  Executive agrees that all materials or copies thereof
containing confidential information of the Corporation in Executive’s custody or
possession will not, at any time, be removed from the Corporation’s premises

entity which is: (i) a service provider to, or vendor of, the Corporation; (ii)
a customer of the Corporation; or (iii) a competitor of the

non-public aspects of the Corporation’s business affairs with any individual or
group of individuals (e.g., Internet chat rooms) who does not have a business
need to know such information for the benefit of the
Corporation.  Executive hereby agrees to immediately notify the
Corporation’s Compliance Officer in accordance with the Corporation’s Insider
Trading Policy prior to Executive’s acquisition or disposition of the

Executive of such policy termination.

    


    10.3. Undertaking.  To
the extent that the Corporation advances payment for any fees or expenses to

the amount advanced exceeded the indemnification to which he is entitled, in
which case the amount of such excess shall be repaid to the
Corporation.

    


    10.4. Notice.  As
a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified hereunder, Executive shall
give the Corporation notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made
against him for which indemnity will or could be sought under this
Agreement.

    


    10.5. Cooperation.  Executive
shall fully cooperate with the Corporation in connection with any matter, which
results in the assertion of a claim by Executive for indemnification
hereunder.  The Corporation shall be entitled at its own expense to
participate in the defense of any proceeding, claim or action, or, if it shall
elect, to assume such defense, in which event such defense shall be conducted by
counsel chosen by the Corporation, subject to the consent of Executive, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

    


    10.6. Exceptions.  The
Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in

purported termination of this Agreement by the Corporation or its successors or
assigns, whether by operation of law or otherwise, (ii) any change in the
Corporation’s Certificates of Incorporation or By-laws, and (iii) termination of
Executive’s services to the Corporation or its affiliates (whether such services
were terminated by the Corporation, such affiliate or Executive), if such claim
arises as a result of an occurrence prior to the termination of this Agreement,
whether or not a claim is made or an action or proceeding is threatened or
commenced before or after the actual or purported termination of this Agreement,
change in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or
