WHEREAS, the Corporation and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of October 2, 1985, which has subsequently been amended (the "Employment Agreement").
WHEREAS, Section 1 of the Employment Agreement provides that ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.
WHEREAS, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has recommended to the Board of Directors of the Corporation that, in light of recent changes in the structure and operation of the Corporation, it would be desirable for the Corporation to establish an Office of the President consisting of one or more individuals.
WHEREAS, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has recommended to the Board of Directors that, in connection with the establishment of the Office of the President, he relinquish the President title but remain Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.
