         NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement for and in consideration of the

termination described in (i) or (ii) above.

3. Sole Remedy. The payment to the Executive of the amounts payable under

Executive's employment with the Company following a Change of Control.

4. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have
