The
Optionee agrees to remain in the employ of the Company or of one or more of its

such period shall be limited to six months from the date of this Agreement; and
provided, further, that nothing contained herein or in the Terms and Conditions
shall restrict the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate
