3. Term
and Termination.




3.1. The
term of this Agreement commences as of  February 25, 2008


and shall
continue until February 24, 2011 unless sooner terminated as herein
provided.




3.2. If
Executive dies during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall thereupon
terminate, except that the Company shall pay to the legal representative of
Executive’s estate the base salary due Executive pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof
through the first anniversary of Executive’s death (or the scheduled expiration
under Section 3.1, if earlier than the first anniversary date) as well as a pro
rata allocation of bonus payments under Section 2.2 based on the days of service
during the year of death, and all amounts owing to Executive at the time of
termination, including for previously accrued but unpaid bonuses, expense
reimbursements and accrued but unused vacation pay.





3.3. If
Executive shall be rendered incapable by an incapacitating illness or disability
(either physical or mental) of complying with the terms, provisions and
conditions hereof on his part to be performed for a period in excess of 180
consecutive days during any consecutive twelve (12) month period, then the
Company, at its option, may terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Executive (the “Disability Notice”) delivered prior to the date Executive
resumes the rendering of services hereunder; provided, however, if requested by
Executive (or a representative thereof) such termination shall not occur until
after examination of Executive by a medical doctor (retained by the Company with
the consent of the Executive which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
who certifies in a






2


written
report to the Board with a copy of such report delivered simultaneously to
Executive that Executive is and shall be incapable of performing his duties for
in excess of two additional months because of the continuing existence of such
incapacitating illness or disability.  Notwithstanding such
termination, the Company (a) shall make a payment to Executive of a pro rata
allocation of payments under Section 2.2 based on the days of service during the
year in which the Disability Notice is delivered and (b) shall pay to Executive
the base salary due Executive pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof through the second
anniversary of the date of such notice (the “Disability Period”), less any
amount Executive receives for such period from any Company-sponsored or
Company-paid for source of insurance, disability compensation or governmental
program.  The Company shall also pay to Executive all amounts owing to
Executive at the time of termination, including for previously accrued but
unpaid bonuses, expense reimbursements and accrued but unused vacation
pay.





3.4. The
Company, by notice to Executive, may terminate this Agreement for
cause.  As used herein, “cause” shall include (a) the refusal in bad
faith by Executive to carry out specific written directions of the Board, (b)
intentional fraud or dishonest action by Executive in his relations with the
Company (“dishonest” for these purposes shall mean Executive’s knowingly making
of a material misstatement to the Board for the purpose of obtaining direct
personal benefit); or (c) the conviction of Executive of any crime involving an
act of significant moral turpitude after appeal or the period for appeal has
elapsed without an appeal being filed by Executive.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no “cause” for termination shall be deemed to exist with respect
to Executive’s acts described in clause (a) or (b) above, unless the Board shall
have given written notice to Executive (after five (5) days advance written
notice to Executive and a reasonable opportunity to Executive to present his
views with respect to the existence of “cause”), specifying the “cause” with
particularity and, within five (5) business days after such notice, Executive
shall not have disputed the Board’s determination or taken action to cure or
eliminate prospectively the problem or thing giving rise to such “cause,”
provided, however, that a repeated breach after notice and cure, of any
provision of clause (a) or (b) above, involving the same or substantially
similar actions or conduct, shall be grounds for termination for cause upon not
less than five (5) days additional notice from the Company.




3.5. The
Executive, by notice to the Company, may terminate this Agreement if a “Good
Reason” exists.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall
mean the occurrence of any of the following circumstances without the
Executive’s prior express written consent:




(a) a
material adverse change in the nature of Executive’s title, duties or
responsibilities with the Company that represents a demotion from his title,
duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change; (b) a
material breach of this Agreement by the Company; (c) a failure by the Company
to make any payment to Executive when due, unless the payment is not material or
is being contested by the Company, in good faith provided it is not the subject
of a proper set off or proper withholding pursuant to applicable law or
regulation; (d) a liquidation, bankruptcy or receivership of the
Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Good Reason shall be
deemed to exist with respect to the Company’s acts described in clauses (a), (b)
or (c) above, unless Executive shall have given written notice to the Company
specifying the Good Reason with reasonable particularity and, within ten (10)
business days after such notice, the Company shall not have cured or eliminated
the problem or thing giving rise to such Good Reason.





3.6. In
the event that Executive terminates this Agreement for Good
Reason, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3.5, or the Company terminates
this Agreement without “Cause,” as defined in paragraph 3.4, the Company shall
pay to Executive (or in the case of his death, the legal representative of
Executive’s estate or such other person or persons as Executive shall have
designated by written notice to the Company) the sum of $300,000 and benefits
through the terms of this Agreement.  If Executive’s employment is
terminated for Good Reason or without “Cause,” Executive shall have no duty to
mitigate awards paid or payable to him pursuant to this subsection, and any
compensation paid or payable to Executive from sources other than the Company
will not offset or terminate the Company’s obligation to pay to Executive the
full amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.6.





3.7 
Any termination of the employment of the Executive will be deemed to be a
resignation, as of the date of termination, of the Executive from all executive
office and director positions, of whatever nature and authority, with the
Company and any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company and a termination of all
other authorities to execute documents and to bind the Company and its
affiliates and subsidiaries.

other proprietary rights, trade secrets and “know-how,” customers and sources

the business of the Company.

termination of his employment with the Company, Executive will promptly deliver
to the Company all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings,
blue-prints and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the

records.

or endeavor to entice away from the Company, for the benefit of a Competitive
Business, any of its customers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Competitive Business; provided, however, that for a period commencing with the
start date of employment under this agreement and terminating three years after
termination of Executive’s employment (except for investments in a class of
