(d)	
Remedies for Breach of Confidentiality, Non-Competition
and Non-Solicitation Provisions of this Agreement.  Executive acknowledges
that this Section 12, its terms and his compliance are necessary to protect the
Company’s Confidential and Proprietary Information, its business and its goodwill,
and that a breach of any of Executive’s promises contained in this Section 12
will irreparably and continually damage the Company to an extent that money damages
may not be adequate. For these reasons, Executive agrees that in the event of
a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of this Section 12, the Company
shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction
restraining Executive from such breach, without the posting of a bond.  Nothing
contained in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from
pursuing any other remedies available for such breach or threatened breach or
any other breach of this Agreement. The Company and Executive further acknowledge
and agree that it may be difficult, if not impossible; to compute the actual
damages that will be suffered by the Company upon Executive’s violation
of this Section 12. It is agreed, therefore, that in the event Executive breaches
these provisions, Executive shall pay to the Company liquidated damages of a
full year’s salary during any period of breach and forfeit any payments due under
Agreement, or any actual damages that the Company may incur as a result of such
breach, whichever amount is greater, in addition to any other damages, including
without limitation punitive damages, attorney's fees and costs, awarded by a
court or arbitrator related to any breach of these provisions.


		 	 
		
(e)	
Effect of Termination of Employment.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(e) of this Agreement,
the period of Executive’s employment for purposes of determining the applicability of
 the restrictions contained in Section 12 of this Agreement shall include any period during
  which Executive is employed by the Company’s successors or assigns.  Upon termination of
   employment, as defined herein and for whatever cause, Executive shall immediately deliver
   to the Company or its successors or assigns, all Company property, including without
   limitation all Confidential Information as defined above.


	 	 
	
13.	
Withholding of Taxes.  The Company shall withhold from any compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement all applicable federal, state, local, or other taxes.


	 	 
	
14.	
Binding on Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable.  The Company shall cause any successor to all or substantially all of its assets or business to assume this Agreement. 


	 	 
	
15.	
Governing Law.  This Agreement is being made and executed in and is intended to be performed in the State of New York, and shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict or choice of law rules.

19.	
Entire Agreement.  The terms of this Agreement are intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company, may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement and supersedes any and all prior agreements, including specifically the November 1, 1998 Employment Agreement between the Company and the Executive.  The parties further intend that this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement.


	 	 
	
20.	
Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Executive and approved by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or by an arbitrator or court seeking
to render enforceable through “judicial” modification an otherwise unenforceable provision.  By an instrument in writing similarly executed, the Executive or the Company may waive compliance by the other party with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform, provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising
any right, remedy, or power hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity.
