     3. Disability. The Employer may terminate this Agreement upon the permanent
disability of the Executive. Executive shall be considered disabled (whether
permanent or temporary) if: (i) he is disabled as defined in a disability
insurance policy purchased by or for the benefit of the Executive; or (ii) if no

days following receipt of Employer's demand; or (ii) misconduct by the Executive
which is materially injurious to the Employer, monetarily or otherwise; or (iii)
the willful violation by the Executive of the provisions of this Agreement. For
purposes of this Section, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, not
in good faith and without reasonable belief by him that his action or omission
was in the best interest of the Employer.

     5. Other Termination. The Employer may terminate the Executive's employment
hereunder for any reason other than death, disability or cause.

the Employer or by the Executive (other than termination pursuant to subsection
5.1.2 above) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other
party.

     5.3 Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii)
if the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause or Other Termination event
("Other Termination Event"), the date on which a Notice of Termination is
received by the Executive; and (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated
for any other reason stated above, the date specified in a Notice of Termination
by Employer or Executive, which date shall be no less than 30 days following the
date on which Notice of Termination is given.

     5.4 Compensation Upon Termination.

     1. Following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 5.1.1
or 5.1.2, the Executive shall be entitled to compensation only through the Date
of Termination; provided, however, that Executive may be entitled to severance
as set forth in Section 5.1.1.

     2. Following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1.2,
Employer shall pay to Executive's estate the compensation which would otherwise
be payable to Executive to the end of the month in which his death occurs. This
payment shall be in addition to life insurance benefits, if any, paid to
Executive's estate under policies for which the Employer pays all premiums and
Executive's estate is the beneficiary.

<PAGE>

     3. In the event of permanent disability of the Executive as described in
Section 5.1.3, if Employer elects to terminate this Agreement, Executive shall
be entitled to receive compensation and benefits through the Date of
Termination; any such payment, however, shall be reduced by disability insurance
benefits, if any, paid to Executive under policies (other than group policies)
for which Employer pays all premiums and Executive is the beneficiary.

     4. If Executive is terminated by Employer for any reason other than Cause
as set forth in this Article 5, then Executive is entitled to a severance
payment equal to the equivalent of 135 days base salary following the date of
Termination, under this Agreement.

     5.5 Remedies. Any termination of this Agreement shall not prejudice any
other remedy to which the Employer or Executive may be entitled, either at law,
equity, or under this Agreement.
