      6. Termination
        of Employment.

       

      6.1 Prior
        to
        the Termination Date, this Agreement and all the rights and obligations of
        the
        parties hereto shall terminate immediately: (i) in the event of the Employee’s
        death; or (ii) if the Company ceases to conduct business.

       

      6.2 Prior
        to
        the Termination Date, the Company may, upon written notice to the Employee,
        immediately thereafter terminate the Employee’s employment for proper cause,
        pursuant to the grounds set forth herein (“For Cause”), and in the event of such
        For Cause termination, the Employee shall not be entitled to any Compensation
        or
        Lump Sum Severance Package Compensation as hereinafter defined following
        the
        date set forth on the written notification of such For Cause termination,
        other
        than options that are fully vested as of the date of the For Cause termination.
        The grounds for For Cause termination are the occurrence of any of the
        following: (i) indictment of Employee on felony charges; (ii) Employee’s
        engagement in illegal business practices in connection with the Company’s
        business; (iii) Employee’s intentional and material misappropriation of the
        Company’s assets; (iv) the Employee’s breach of: Company policies; this
        Agreement; the Covenant Not To Compete Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
“C”;
        the Confidentiality/Waiver of Interest Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
“D”.
        With respect to a For Cause termination under (iv), the written notice will
        provide the Employee 10 days within which to cure the breach (“Cure Period”),
        and if it is not cured within that period, the For Cause termination will
        become
        immediately effective. With regard to the Covenant Not to Compete Agreement
        attached as Exhibit “C” and the Confidentiality/Waiver of Interest Agreement
        attached as Exhibit “D”, the Cure Period will run concurrently with (and not be
        in addition to) the Mediation Period as defined in Exhibits “C” and
“D”.

       

      6.3 Prior
        to
        the Termination Date, the Company may, upon 30 days written notice to the
        Employee, immediately thereafter terminate the Employee’s employment without
        cause (For Cause being limited to the grounds set forth in Paragraph 6.2
        herein
        above). In the event of such without cause termination, after the initial
        3
        months of employment with the Company, the Company shall for a period of
        90 days
        following the date of such termination ( the “Severance Payment Period”)pay to
        Employee severance compensation consisting of the Compensation and Benefits
        (as
        set forth on Exhibit “B”) which would have been due and payable to Employee
        under this agreement had Employees employment not been terminated without
        cause
        (“Severance Package Compensation”). In the event of a termination without cause,
        which occurs after the initial 12 months of employment by Employee under
        this
        Agreement, the Severance Package Compensation shall be increased to equal
        the
        compensation and Benefits which would have been paid to Employee for 180
        days
        (i.e., the Severance Payment Period is increased from 90 days to 180 days).
        In
        the event of termination without cause during the initial 3 months of employment
        by Employee under this Agreement, no Severance Package Compensation or other
        severance payment of any description shall be due as a result of such
        termination. The Severance Package Compensation shall be paid during the
        Severance Payment Period at the same intervals as the Compensation and Benefits
        would have been paid had the employment not been terminated. The Severance
        Package Compensation shall constitute the only compensation due to Employee
        as
        the result of termination of employment without cause and the Company shall
        have
        no additional liability to Employees as a result of such termination of
        employment without cause. Termination of Employment by the Company for
        disability of Employee shall be deemed termination without cause.

        the Termination Date, in the event that (1)there shall be a Change in Control
        (as defined below) in the Company or (2) the scope of Employee's duties with
        the
        Company shall significantly change, the Employee may, upon 30 days written
        notice to the Company given within 30 days of the change set forth in (1)
        or (2)
        above, terminate Employee’s employment with the Company, and in such event,
        Employee shall not be entitled to any compensation following the date of
        such
        termination, other than options. Any un vested options shall fully vest as
        of
        the date of the termination.

        provided for in this Agreement, for an order of enforcement if necessary.
        The
        costs of the arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties. No
