     commit an act constituting "Cause". which is defined to mean the following:
     a material breach of any employee conduct rules which interferes in a
     material way with your ability to perform your duties; the deliberate and
     intentional refusal by you to perform the duties commonly attendant upon
     the position of Executive Vice President of Operations; alcohol or drug
     addiction; your disability, which is defined to be any condition
     prohibiting you from performing your duties hereunder for a period in
     excess of ninety (90) days; or your death. In the event of a termination
     pursuant to this paragraph, TCA shall pay to you your salary earned to the
     date of termination and shall have no further liability or obligation to
     you under this Agreement.

14.  TCA shall indemnify, defend and hold you harmless, including the payment of
     reasonable attorney fees, if TCA does not directly provide your defense,
     from and against any and all claims made by anyone, including, but not
     limited to, a corporate entity, company, other employee, agent, patron or
     member of the general public with respect to any claim which asserts as a
     basis, any acts, omissions or other circumstances involving the performance
     of your employment duties hereunder unless such claim is based upon your
     gross negligence or any willful and/or wanton act.

15.  You represent that you are a citizen of the United States or that you
     possess the proper visa and/or work permits necessary to perform your
     functions hereunder.

16.  You acknowledge that it would be extremely difficult to measure the damages
     that might result from any breach by you of your promises in Section 6, 7,
     8 and 9 of this Agreement and that a breach may cause irreparable injury to
     TCA which could not be compensated by money damages. Accordingly, TCA will
     be entitled to enforce this Agreement by obtaining a court order
     prohibiting you (and any others involved) from breaching this Agreement. If
     a court decides that any part of this agreement is too broad, the court may
     limit that part and enforce it as limited.

17.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
     laws of the State of New Jersey and in any lawsuit involving this
     Agreement, you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or
     federal court located in New Jersey. This Agreement represents the entire
     agreement between the parties and may not be modified or amended without
     the written agreement of both parties. This Agreement supersedes all other
     agreements between the parties.
