7. Effect on Restricted Stock and Stock Options in Event of Termination.  Upon termination of this Agreement by the Company for cause, any restricted stock or stock options granted, or to be granted, pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof that have not been earned or vested as of the date of termination shall be cancelled.

5
