Payment of Accrued Benefits shall be made    promptly in accordance with the Company's prevailing practice with respect    to Subsections (i) and (ii) or, with respect to Subsections (iii), (iv) and    (v), pursuant to the terms of the benefit plan or practice establishing such    benefits.

    (b) Termination Payment.

(i) Subject to the limits set forth in Subsection 9(b)(ii) hereof, the    Termination Payment shall be an amount equal to (A) the Executive's annual    base salary, at the highest rate as in effect at any time during the 180-day    period immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company, as    adjusted upward, from time to time, pursuant to Section 6 hereof, plus (B)    the amount of the average annual bonus award (determined on an annualized    basis for any bonus award paid for a period of less than one year and    excluding any year for which the Executive did not participate in any bonus    plan) paid to the Executive with respect to the three complete fiscal years    preceding the Termination Date (the aggregate amount set forth in (A) and    (B) hereof shall hereafter be referred to as "Annual Cash    Compensation"), times (C) the lesser of (1) 1.99 and (2) the number of    years or fractional portion thereof remaining in the Employment Period    determined as of the Termination Date. The Termination Payment shall be paid    to the Executive in cash equivalent ten business days after the Termination    Date. Such lump sum payment shall not be reduced by any present value or    similar factor, and the Executive shall not be required to mitigate the    amount of the Termination Payment by securing other employment or otherwise,    nor will such Termination Payment be reduced by reason of the Executive    securing other employment or for any other reason. The Termination Payment    shall be in lieu of, and acceptance by the Executive of the Termination    Payment shall constitute the Executive's release of any rights of Executive    to, any other severance payments under any Company (or Employer) severance    policy, practice or agreement. The Company shall bear up to $10,000 in the    aggregate of fees and expenses of consultants and/or legal or accounting    advisors engaged by the Executive to advise the Executive as to matters    relating to the computation of benefits due and payable under this    Subsection 9(b).

(ii)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any portion of    the Termination Payment or any other payment under this Agreement, or under    any other agreement with or plan of the Company or its affiliates (in its    aggregate, "Total Payments"), would constitute an "excess    parachute payment" that is subject to the tax (the "Excise    Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as    amended (the "Code"), or any successor provision, then the Total    Payments to be made to the Executive shall be reduced such that the value of    the aggregate Total Payments that the Executive is entitled to receive shall    be One Dollar ($1) less than the maximum amount which the Executive may    receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the    Code (or any successor provision); provided that the foregoing reduction in    the amount of Total Payments shall not apply if the After-Tax Value to the    Executive of the Total Payments prior to reduction in accordance with    Subsection 9(b)(ii)(A) is greater than the After-Tax Value to the Executive    if Total Payments are reduced in accordance with Subsection 9(b)(ii)(A).

(B) For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "excess parachute    payment" and "parachute payments" shall have the meanings    assigned to them in Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision),    and such "parachute payments" shall be valued as provided therein.    Present value shall be calculated in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of    the Code (or any successor provision). Within forty (40) days following    delivery of the Notice of Termination or notice by the Company to the    Executive of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the Executive    which will result in an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G    of the Code (or any successor provision), the Executive and the Company, at    the Company's expense, shall obtain the opinion (which need not be    unqualified) of nationally recognized tax counsel ("National Tax    Counsel") selected by the Company's independent auditors and acceptable    to the Executive in his sole discretion (which may be regular outside    counsel to the Company), which opinion sets forth:

    (1) the amount of the Base Period Income,

    (2) the amount and present value of Total Payments,

    (3) the amount and present value of any excess parachute payments    determined without regard to the limitations of this Subsection 9(b)(ii),

    (4) the After-Tax Value of the Total Payments if the reduction in Total    Payments contemplated under Subsection 9(b)(ii)(A) did not apply, and

    (5) the After-Tax Value of the Total Payments taking into account the    reduction in Total Payments contemplated under Subsection 9(b)(ii)(A). The    term "Base Period Income" means an amount equal to the Executive's    "annualized includible compensation for the base period" as    defined in Section 280G(d)(1) of the Code (or any successor provision). For    purposes of such opinion, the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred    payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors    in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code    (or any successor provisions), which determination shall be evidenced in a    certificate of such auditors addressed to the Company and the Executive. For    purposes of determining the After-Tax Value of Total Payments, the Executive    shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes and employment taxes at the    highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the    calendar year in which the Termination Payment is to be made and state and    local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation in the state    and locality of the Executive's domicile for income tax purposes on the date    the Termination Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction in federal    income taxes that may be obtained from deduction of such state and local    taxes. The opinion of National Tax Counsel shall be dated as of the    Termination Date and addressed to the Company and the Executive and shall be    binding upon the Company and the Executive. If such opinion determines that    there would be an excess parachute payment and that the After-Tax Value of    the Total Payments taking into account the reduction contemplated under    Subsection 9(b)(ii)(A) is greater than the After-Tax Value of the Total    Payments if the reduction in Total Payments contemplated under Subsection    9(b)(ii)(A) did not apply, then the Termination Payment hereunder or any    other payment or benefit determined by such counsel to be includible in    Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated as specified by the Executive    in writing delivered to the Company within thirty (30) days of his receipt    of such opinion or, if the Executive fails to so notify the Company, then as    the Company shall reasonably determine, so that under the bases of    calculations set forth in such opinion there will be no excess parachute    payment. If such National Tax Counsel so requests in connection with the    opinion required by this Subsection 9(b)(ii), the Executive and the Company    shall obtain, at the Company's expense, and the National Tax Counsel may    rely on in providing the opinion, the advice of a firm of recognized    executive compensation consultants as to the reasonableness of any item of    compensation to be received by the Executive. If the provisions of Sections    280G and 4999 of the Code (or any successor provisions) are repealed without    succession, then this Section 9(b)(ii) shall be of no further force or    effect.

(C) If, notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 9(b)(ii)(A), but    subject to Subsection 9(b)(ii)(D), it is ultimately determined by a court or    pursuant to a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any    portion of Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax even though the    reduction contemplated under Subsection 9(b)(ii)(A) was applied in order to    avoid application of the Excise Tax, the Company shall pay to the Executive    an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such that the sum    of:

    (1) the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction of any    Excise Tax and any interest charges or penalties in respect of the    imposition of such Excise Tax (but not any federal, state or local income    tax or employment tax) on the Total Payments plus

    (2) any federal, state and local income tax, employment tax and Excise    Tax upon the payment provided for by this Subsection 9(b)(ii)(C), shall be    equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the    Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes    and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation    and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment    is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates    of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's domicile for income    tax purposes on the date the Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the maximum    reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from deduction of    such state and local taxes.

(D) If legislation is enacted or if regulations or rulings are    promulgated that would require the Company's shareholders to approve this    Agreement, prior to a Change in Control of the Company, due solely to the    provision contained in Subsection 9(b)(ii)(C), then

    (1) from and after such time as shareholder approval would be required,    until shareholder approval is obtained as required by such legislation,    Subsection 9(b)(ii)(C) shall be of no force and effect;

    (2) the Company and the Executive shall use their best efforts to    consider and agree in writing upon an amendment to this Subsection 9(b)(ii)    such that, as amended, this Subsection would provide the Executive with the    benefits intended to be afforded to the Executive by Subsection 9(b)(ii)(C)    without requiring shareholder approval; and

    (3) at the reasonable request of the Executive, the Company shall seek    shareholder approval of this Agreement at the next annual meeting of    shareholders of the Company.

        10. Death. (a) Except as provided in Section 10(b) hereof, in the event of a CoveredTermination due to the Executive's death, the Executive's estate, heirs andbeneficiaries shall receive all the Executive's Accrued Benefits through theTermination Date.

        (b) In the event the Executive dies after a Notice of Termination is given:

(i) by the Company; or

(ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive's estate, heirs and    beneficiaries shall be entitled to the benefits described in Section 10(a)    hereof and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to such Termination    Payment as the Executive would have been entitled to had the Executive    lived. For purposes of this Subsection 10(b), the Termination Date shall be    the earlier of thirty days following the giving of the Notice of    Termination, subject to extension pursuant to Section 1(m) hereof, or one    day prior to the end of the Employment Period.

        11. Retirement. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive and the Company shallexecute an agreement providing for the early retirement of the Executive fromthe Company, or the Executive shall otherwise give notice that he is voluntarilychoosing to retire early from the Company, the Executive shall receive AccruedBenefits through the Termination Date; provided, that if the Executive'semployment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Companyother than by reason of death, disability or Cause and the Executive also, inconnection with such termination, elects voluntary early retirement, theExecutive shall also be entitled to receive a Termination Payment pursuant toSection 8(a) hereof.
