     5. TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 hereof, the
Employee's employment with the Employer may be earlier terminated as follows:

        (a)  By action taken by the Company, the Employee may be discharged for

        (b)  In the event of termination due to (i) the death of the Employee or
(ii) by action of the Company and the inability of the Employee, by reason of
physical or mental disability, to continue substantially to perform his duties
hereunder for a period of 180 consecutive days, the Employer shall have no

        (b)  The Employee hereby agrees that he shall not, during the period of

or a disruption of any of the Company's business activities including, without
limitation, the solicitations of the Company's customers, or persons listed on
the personnel lists of the Company. At no time during the term of this Agreement
shall the Employee directly or indirectly, disparage the commercial, business or
financial reputation of the Company.

        (d)  For purposes of clarification, but not of limitation, the Employee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of subparagraphs 6(b) and (c)

therein, directly or indirectly, hiring, offering to hire, enticing, soliciting
or in any other manner persuading or attempting to persuade any officer,
employee, agent, lessor, lessee, licensor, licensee or customer who has been
previously contacted by either a representative of the Company, including the

employment by the Company, or at the termination of his employment), to
discontinue or alter his, her or its relationship with the Company.

        (e)  Upon the termination of the Employee's employment for any reason
whatsoever, all documents, records, notebooks, equipment, price lists,

materials which refer or relate to any aspect of the business of the Company
which are in the possession of the Employee including all copies thereof, shall
be promptly returned to the Company.

        (f)  The Employee agrees that all processes, technologies and inventions
("Inventions"), including new contributions, improvements, ideas and
discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived, developed, invented or made
by him during his employment by Employer shall belong to the Company, provided
that such Inventions grew out of the Employee's work with the Company, are
related in any manner to the business (commercial or experimental) of the
Company, or are conceived or made on the Company's time or with the use of the
Company's facilities or materials. The Employee shall further: (a) promptly
disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to the Company,


                                       3
Revision 07.18.2005-1.0

without additional compensation, all such patent and other rights to such
Inventions for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all papers
necessary to carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support of his
inventorship.

        (g)  The Company shall be the sole owner of all products and proceeds of
the Employee's services hereunder, including, but not limited to, all materials,
ideas, concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages,
programs and other intellectual properties that the Employee may acquire,
obtain, develop or create in connection with and during the term of the
Employee's employment hereunder, free and clear of any claims by the Employee
(or anyone claiming under the Employee) of any kind or character whatsoever
(other than the Employee's right to receive compensation hereunder). The
Employee shall, at the request of the Company, execute such assignments,
certificates or other instruments as the Company may from time to time deem
necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect,
enforce or defend its right, or title and interest in or to any such properties.

        (h)  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the
Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Employee of
any of his obligations under this Section 6, (ii) monetary damages would not be
an adequate remedy for any such breach, and (iii) the Company shall be entitled
to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy which it may have, in the
event of any such breach.

        (i)  If any provision contained in this Section 6 is hereafter construed
to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the
covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the
invalid portions.

        (j)  If any provision contained in this Section 6 is found to be
unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration or scope thereof, or otherwise,
then the court making such determination shall have the right to reduce such
extent, duration, scope or other provision and in its reduced form any such
restriction shall thereafter be enforceable as contemplated hereby.

        (k)  It is the intent of the parties hereto that the covenants contained
in this Section 6 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the
laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought
(the Employee hereby acknowledging that said restrictions are reasonably
necessary for the protection of the Company). Accordingly, it is hereby agreed
that if any of the provisions of this Section 6 shall be adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, said provision shall be
(only with respect to the operation thereof in the particular jurisdiction in
which such adjudication is made) construed by limiting and reducing it so as to
be enforceable to the extent permissible, without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of said
provision in any other jurisdiction.

     7. INDEMNIFICATION. The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Employee against any and all expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection
with or arising out of (a) the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in
which he is a party, or (b) any claim asserted or threatened against him, in
either case by reason of or relating to his being or having been an employee,
officer or director of the Company, whether or not he continues to be such an
employee, officer or director at the time of incurring such expenses, except
insofar as such indemnification is prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Employer shall indemnify the Employee in connection with or
arising out of any action caused by Employers gross negligence or breach of
fiduciary duty. Such expenses shall include, without limitation, the fees and
disbursements of attorneys, amounts of judgments and amounts of any


                                       4

settlements, provided that such expenses are agreed to in advance by the
Employer. The foregoing indemnification obligation is independent of any similar
obligation provided in the Employer's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws,

date of this Agreement, and to matters attributable to his employment hereunder,
without regard to when asserted.
