(x) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in thisSection 8(g) by seeking other employment or otherwise nor, except as provided in Section 8(g),shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 8 be reduced by anycompensation or benefits earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer orself-employment, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed byExecutive to the Company, or otherwise.     9.
