and shall make all such reports, written if required, as the Company may reasonably require.

4.   TERM

The  initial  term  of  this  Agreement  shall  be  for  one  twelve-month  period  (the  “Initial  Term”),  to

business   expenses   (in   each   case,   as   of   the   date   of   termination)   (collectively   the

“Continued  Benefits”)  for  a  period  of  the  greater  of  (a)  twelve  (12)  months;  or  (b)  the

remainder  of  the  Initial  Term  or  Subsequent  Term,  whichever  the  case  may  be  (the

“Continuation  Period”).    Executive  shall  be  entitled  to  continued  participation  in  all

medical and disability plans, to the extent such plans are provided by the Company at the

of termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the Continuation Period.

b.   Termination With Just Cause.

i.     The  Company  may  immediately  terminate  this  Agreement  hereunder  for  Just  Cause  (as

defined  below)  at  any  time  upon  delivery  of  written  notice  to  Executive.   For  purposes

of this Agreement, the phrase “Just Cause” means:

A.   Executive’s material fraud, gross malfeasance, gross negligence, or willful misconduct

done in bad faith, with respect to the Company’s business affairs;

B.   Executive’s   refusal   or   repeated   failure   to   follow   the   Company’s   established

reasonable and lawful policies of the Company;

C.   Executive’s material breach of this Agreement; or

D.  Executive’s conviction of a felony or crime involving moral turpitude.

ii.    A  termination  of  Executive  for  Just  Cause  based  on  clause  A,  B  or  C  of  the  preceding

sentence  will  take  effect  thirty  (30)  days  after  Executive  receives  from  the  Company

written  notice  of  its  intent  to  terminate  this  Agreement  and  the  Company’s  description

of the alleged cause, unless Executive, in the good-faith opinion of the Company, during

such 30-day period, remedies the events or circumstances constituting Just Cause.

iii.   If this Agreement hereunder is terminated by the Company for Just Cause, the Company

will  be  required  to  pay  to  Executive  only  that  portion  of  her  Base  Compensation,

accrued  vacation,  and  to  the  extent  required  under  the  terms  of  any  benefit  plan  or  this

Agreement,  the  vested  portion  of  any  benefit  under  such  plan,  all  as  earned  through  the

date of termination.

c.    Termination For Good Reason.

i.     Executive  may  terminate  employment  hereunder  For  Good  Reason  (as  defined  below),

at  any  time,  by  giving  written  notice  to  the  Company  of  such  intent  at  least  thirty  (30)

days in advance of the effective date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the

phrase “For Good Reason” means:

A.   any reduction in duties, responsibility, position or compensation;

B.   the Company’s material breach of this Agreement; or

C.   the Company’s refusal or failure to establish and follow lawful policies and practices.

ii.    If  Executive  terminates  employment  hereunder  For  Good  Reason,  the  Company  shall

continue  to  pay  to  Executive  the  Continued  Benefits  for  the  Continuation  Period.

Executive  shall  be  entitled  to  continued  participation  in  all  medical  and  disability  plans,

to the extent such plans are provided by the Company, at the same benefit level at which

she was participating on the date of termination of this Agreement until the expiration of

the Continuation Period.

d.    Termination due to Disability and Death.

This  Agreement  hereunder  will  be  terminated  immediately  upon  Executive’s  disability  (as

determined  for  purposes  of  the  Company’s  long-term  disability  plan)  or  death.    If  this

Agreement is terminated due to such disability or death, the Company will be required to pay

Executive  or  Executive’s  estate,  as  the  case  may  be,  in  addition  to  the  amounts  payable

under  the  Company’s  short-term  and  long-term  disability  plans  or  life  insurance  plans  (as

applicable),  only  her  Base  Compensation  and  accrued  vacation,  earned  through  the  date  of

termination,  any  unreimbursed  business  expenses,  and  to  the  extent  required  under  the

terms  of  any  benefit  plan  or  this  Agreement,  the  vested  portion  of  any  benefit  under  such

plan.    Executive  or  Executive’s  estate,  as  the  case  may  be,  will  not  by  operation  of  this

provision  forfeit  any  rights  in  which  Executive  is  vested  at  the  time  of  Executive’s  disability

or death.

e.    Services after Termination

In  the  event  this  Agreement  is  terminated  pursuant  to  paragraphs  15a,  Executive  will,  in

good  faith,  remain  available  to  the  Company  during  the  Severance  Period  for  any  needs  the

Company  may  have  in  connection  with  the  Company’s  pending  litigation  matters,  or  other

matters  concerning  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries,  as  reasonably  requested  from  time  to

time.  Executive  will,  as  needed,  devote  up  to  five  (5)  hours  per  week  performing  such

services  requested  by  the  Company  during  the  Severance  Period  at  no  cost  to  the  Company.

In  the  event  the  Company  desires  Executive  to  devote  time  in  excess  of  five  (5)  hours  per

week,  the  Company  shall  pay  Executive  at  the  rate  of  (i)  $100  per  hour  for  each  hour  over

five  (5)  hours  per  week  of  services  performed;  and  (ii)  all  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses

incurred  in  performing  such  services,  provided  the  expenses  have  been  approved  by  the

Company  in  writing  in  advance.  For  services  provided  under  this  paragraph,  Executive  will

provide the Company with a monthly invoice that will include the date(s) and hours worked,

and  expenses  incurred,  which  shall  include  copies  of  receipts  for  expenses.   The  Company

shall   remit   payment   to   Executive   within   fifteen   (15)   days   of   receipt   of   invoice   from

Executive.  The  parties  hereto  acknowledge  that  but  for  this  paragraph,  Executive  is  not

required   to   render   the   services   during   the   Severance   Period.     In   no   event   shall   the

Executive’s   Severance   Pay   be   reduced   for   services   provided   by   Executive   under   this

paragraph.

16.  INDEMNIFICATION

In  addition  to  any  rights  Executive  may  have  under  the  Company's  charter  or  by-laws,  the

Company  agrees  to  indemnify  Executive  and  hold  Executive  harmless,  both  during  the  Term

and  thereafter,  against  all  costs,  expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  fines,  excise  taxes  and

attorneys'  and  accountants’  fees)  and  liabilities  (other  than  settlements  to  which  the  Company

does  not  consent,  which  consent  shall  not  be  unreasonably  withheld)  (collectively,  "Losses")

reasonably   incurred   by   Executive   in   connection   with   any   claim,   action,   proceeding   or

investigation brought against or involving Executive with respect to, arising out of or in any way

relating  to  Executive's  position  with  the  Company  or  Executive's  service  as  a  director  of  the

Company;  provided,  however,  that  the  Company  shall  not  be  required  to  indemnify  Executive

for  Losses  incurred  as  a  result  of  Executive's  intentional  misconduct  or  gross  negligence  (other

than matters  where Executive acted in good faith and in a manner she reasonably believed to be

in  and  not  opposed  to  the  Company's  best  interests).  Executive  shall  promptly  notify  the

Company   of   any   claim,   action,   proceeding   or   investigation   under   this   paragraph   and   the

Company  shall  be  entitled  to  participate  in  the  defense  of  any  such  claim,  action,  proceeding  or

investigation and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense with counsel selected by the Company;

provided   that   Executive   shall   have   the   right   to   employ   counsel   to   represent   him   (at   the

Company's  expense)  if  Company  counsel  would  have  a  "conflict  of  interest"  in  representing

both  the  Company  and  Executive.  The  Company  shall  not  settle  or  compromise  any  claim,

action,  proceeding  or  investigation  without  Executive's  consent,  which  consent  shall  not  be

unreasonably   withheld;   provided,   however,   that   such   consent   shall   not   be   required   if   the

settlement  entails  only  the  payment  of  money  and  the  Company  fully  indemnifies  Executive  in

connection  therewith.  The  Company  further  agrees  to  advance  any  and  all  expenses  (including,

without  limitation,  the  fees  and  expenses  of  counsel)  reasonably  incurred  by  the  Executive  in

connection with any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation. If the Company maintains a

policy  of  directors'  and  officers'  liability  insurance,  the  Executive  will  be  covered  under  the

policy   and,   notwithstanding   the   expiration   or   earlier   termination   of   this   Agreement,   the

Company   shall   maintain   coverage   for   the   Executive   for   a   period   of   time   following   such

expiration  or  earlier  termination  equal  to  the  statute  of  limitations  for  any  claim  that  may  be

asserted  against  Executive  for  which  coverage  is  available  under  such  directors'  and  officers'

liability  insurance  policy.  The  provisions  of  this  paragraph  shall  survive  the  termination  of  this

Agreement for any reason.

c.    The  existence  of  any  claim  or  cause  of  action  by  the  Company  against  Executive,  or  by

Executive against the Company, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall

not  constitute  a  defense  to  the  enforcement  by  the  Company  of  the  foregoing  restrictive

covenants but shall be litigated separately.

19.  ARBITRATION

a.    In  the  event  that  there  shall  be  a  dispute  (a  “Dispute”)  among  the  parties  arising  out  of  or

20.  MISCELLANEOUS

a.    If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared, by a court of competent jurisdiction, to

be   invalid,   illegal   or   incapable   of   being   enforced   in   whole   or   in   part,   the   remaining

conditions  and  provisions  or  portions  thereof  shall  nevertheless  remain  in  full  force  and

effect  and  enforceable  to  the  extent  they  are  valid,  legal  and  enforceable,  and  no  provision

shall be deemed dependent upon any covenant or provision so expressed herein.

b.   The  parties  hereto  have  made  no  agreements,  representations  or  warranties  relating  to  the

subject  matter  of  this  Agreement  which  are  not  set  forth  herein.  The  provisions  of  this

Agreement  may  not  be  amended,  supplemented,  waived,  or  changed  orally,  but  only  in

writing   and   signed   by   the   party   as   to   whom   enforcement   of   any   such   amendment,

supplement,   waiver,   or   modification   is   sought   and   making   specific   reference   to   this

Agreement.

conditions   and   provisions   of   this   Agreement   shall   not   be   construed   as   a   waiver   or

relinquishment  of  future  compliance  therewith,  and  said  terms,  conditions  and  provisions

shall  remain  in  full  force  and  effect.  No  waiver  of  any  term  or  condition  of  this  Agreement,

on  the  part  of  either  party,  shall  be  effective  for  any  purpose  whatsoever  unless  such  waiver
