      entitled to five weeks of vacation per calendar year.

      lump sum severance payment equal to one years base pay (currently
      $150,000) and the Company will provide at their cost (Employee's and
      Company's contribution), twelve months of family group health insurance.

      date. In addition, if the Employee's termination is at the discretion of
      the Company, and not for Cause, the Employee is also entitled to the

      year bonus for the purpose of this agreement would be the pro-rated

      activity by the Employee related to the business activity, failure or
      refusal of Employee to perform his duties or responsibilities under this
      Agreement, or inability to function as required due to illness or
      incapacity for a continuous period of more than three (3) consecutive
      months or for shorter periods totaling three months in any one (1) year
      during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
      contained in this Agreement, in the event of termination of the Employee
      for Cause, the Company shall have no further financial obligation to the
      Employee.

            clients. The Employee agrees to keep all such information
            confidential and not disclose such information to any third party
