be in a position of confidence and trust with the Corporation and he will have
access to Confidential Information; (ii) the nature and periods of restrictions
imposed by the covenants set forth in this Section are fair, reasonable and
necessary to protect and preserve for the Corporation the benefits of this
Agreement and that such restrictions will not prevent Executive from earning a
livelihood; (iii) the Corporation would sustain irreparable loss and damage if
Executive were to breach any of such covenants; and (iv) the covenants herein
set forth are made as an inducement to and have been relied upon by the
Corporation in entering this Agreement.

Corporation. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Executive
shall return to the Corporation all material in Executive's possession or
control which is of a confidential matter relating to the Corporation's
business. These provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

      (d)   NON-COMPETITION.

shall indemnify Executive and hold him harmless for any acts or decisions made
by him in good faith while performing services for the Corporation. In addition,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall pay all expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by Executive in
connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding challenging such
acts of decisions and in connection with any appeal thereon including the costs
of settlement. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of
the Executive's employment hereunder.
