       Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid vacation in accordance

to its employees. The Employee shall not be entitled to accumulate unused
vacation or sick leave or other fringe benefits from year to year without the

Company.

directors, and , so long as this Agreement is in full force and effect, shall
continue to be nominated to the Board as part of management's slate of

employment hereunder for any reason shall automatically be deemed as Employee's
resignation from the Board without any further action, except when the Board
shall, in writing, request a continuation of duty as a Director in its sole
discretion. Neither the change to Employee's title and position nor his service
as a member of the Board of Directors shall affect the amount of his
