7. TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE'S EMPLOYMENT.
(a) DEATH. If the Executive dies while employed by the
Company, her employment shall immediately terminate. The Company's obligation to
pay the Executive's Base Salary shall cease as of the date of Executive's death,
except that any earned, but unpaid Base Salary and Performance Bonus shall be
paid to the Executive's beneficiaries as soon as practicable after her death. In
addition, the Executive's beneficiaries shall receive the pro rata portion of
the Performance Bonus for the year of the Executive's death, which shall be
equal to the Performance Bonus (as determined at the end of the year of the
Executive's death) multiplied by a ratio equal to (A) the number of days the
Executive was employed in the year of her death, divided by (B) 365. The
Performance Bonus shall be paid to the Executive's beneficiaries at the same
time and in the same manner as such Performance Bonus would have been paid to
the Executive had the Executive not died or been terminated. Thereafter,
Executive's beneficiaries or her estate shall receive benefits in accordance
with the Company's retirement, insurance and other applicable programs and plans
then in effect.
(b) DISABILITY. If, as a result of the Executive's incapacity
due to physical or mental illness ("Disability"), Executive shall have been
absent from the full-time performance of her duties with the Company for six (6)
consecutive months, and, within thirty (30) days after written notice is
provided to her by the Company, the Executive shall not have returned to the
full-time performance of her duties, the Executive's employment under this
Agreement may be terminated by the Company for Disability. With respect to the
period during which begins when the Executive is first absent from the full-time
performance of her duties with the Company due to Disability and ends upon the
later of (i) the date she is terminated from employment in accordance with the
foregoing sentence, or, (ii) the date she begins receiving long-term disability
payments under the Company's long term disability plan for senior executives
("Salary Continuation Period"), the Company shall continue to pay the Executive
her Base Salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of such period of
Disability. In addition, the Executive shall receive the pro rata portion of the
Performance Bonus for the year of the Executive's termination due to Disability,
which shall be equal to the Performance Bonus (as determined at the end of the
year in which the Executive is terminated by reason of Disability) multiplied by
a ratio equal to (A) the number of days the Executive was employed in the year
of her termination for Disability, divided by (B) 365. The Performance Bonus
shall be paid to the Executive at the same time and in the same manner as such
Performance Bonus would have been paid had the Executive not been terminated by
reason of Disability. Upon the end of the Salary Continuation Period, the
Executive's benefits shall be determined under the Company's retirement,
insurance and other compensation programs then in effect in accordance with the
terms of such programs
(c) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE. The Company may
terminate the Executive's employment under this Agreement for "Cause," at any
time prior to expiration of the Term of the Agreement, only in the event of (i)
the Executive's failure to substantially perform the duties described in this
Agreement, (ii) acts or omissions constituting recklessness or willful
misconduct on the part of the Executive in respect of her fiduciary obligations
to the Company which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, or
(iii) the Executive's conviction for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement in
connection with the assets of the Company. In the case of clause (i) only, it
shall also be a condition precedent to the Company's right to terminate the
Executive's employment for Cause that (1) the Company shall first have given the
Executive written notice stating with specificity the reason for the
-4-
termination ("breach") at least 60 days before the meeting of the Board of
Directors called to make such determination and the Executive and her counsel
are given the opportunity to answer such grounds for termination in person, at a
hearing or in writing delivered to the Chairman of the Board, in the Executive's
discretion, before a vote by the Board of Directors on the existence of Cause;
and (2) if such breach is susceptible to cure or remedy, a period of 60 days
from and after the giving of the notice described in (1) shall have elapsed
without the Executive having effectively cured or remedied such breach during
such 30-day period, unless such breach cannot be cured or remedied within 60
days, in which case the period for remedy or cure shall be extended for a
reasonable time (not to exceed an additional 30 days), provided the Executive
has made and continues to make a diligent effort to effect such remedy or cure.
In the case of clause (iii) above, the Executive's employment under this
Agreement may be terminated immediately without any advance written notice. Upon
a determination that grounds exist for a termination for Cause by the Board of
Directors and that the breach cannot be cured, or immediately in the case of
clause (iii) above, the Company's obligation to pay the Executive's Base Salary,
any Performance Bonus and benefits shall immediately cease, except to the extent
any Base Salary or Performance Bonus has been earned but has not yet been paid.
7.2. TERMINATION BY THE EXECUTIVE. The Executive may at any
time during the Term of this Agreement terminate her employment hereunder for
any reason or no reason by giving the Company notice in writing not less 90 days
in advance of such termination. The Executive shall have no further obligations
to the Company after the effective date of her termination, as set forth in the
notice. In the event of a termination by the Executive under this Section, the
Company will pay only the portion of Base Salary or previously awarded
Performance Bonus unpaid as of the termination date. Benefits which have accrued
and/or vested on the termination date will continue in effect according to their
terms, but no additional accrual or vesting will take place. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, the
notice period provided in Section 7.2 above shall not apply and the Executive
will be entitled to the severance detailed in Section 8.
8. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE OR
UPON TERMINATION BY THE EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON. If the Executive's employment
shall be terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by the Executive for
Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:
(a) PAYMENT OF UNPAID BASE SALARY. The Company shall
immediately pay the Executive any portion of the Executive's Base Salary or
previously awarded Performance Bonus not paid prior to the termination date.
(b) SEVERANCE PAYMENT. The Company shall pay the Executive an
amount (the "Severance Amount") equal to three (3) times the greater of (i) the
Executive's combined Base Salary and actual Performance Bonus for the preceding
fiscal year or (ii) the average for the three preceding years of the Executive's
combined actual Base Salary and Performance Bonus. Fifty percent of the
Severance Amount shall be paid within five (5) days after the date the Executive
terminates for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company for any reason other
than Cause, and the remaining 50% of the Severance Amount shall be paid in three
equal monthly installments beginning on the first business day of the month
following the month of such termination.
-5-
(c) IMMEDIATE VESTING OF STOCK OPTIONS. The Company shall take
all appropriate action to ensure that all stock options on the Company's stock
owned by the Executive as of her termination date, and which have not been
exercised prior to the termination date become immediately exercisable by the
Executive, whether or not the right to exercise such stock options would
otherwise then be vested in the Executive, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, an option that is
an incentive stock option within the meaning of Code Section 422(b) ("ISO")
shall not be exercisable for the first time in a calendar year to the extent
that the aggregate fair market value of stock (as deter mined under Code Section
422(b)(3)) with respect to which ISO's are exercisable by the Executive during
such calendar year exceeds $100,000. The provisions of this Section 7(c) shall
constitute an amendment to any existing stock option agreements (including award
certificates) of the Company as of the termination date.
(d) MAXIMIZATION OF PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF A CHANGE IN
CONTROL. The Company shall make the payments and provide the benefits to be paid
and provided under this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion
of the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement, either alone or
together with other payments and benefits which the Executive receives or is
then entitled to receive from the Company or otherwise, would constitute a
"parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or a similar
or successor provision), the Company shall reduce such payments hereunder and
such other payments to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or a similar or
successor provision); but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net
after-tax benefit to the Executive shall exceed the net after-tax benefit if
such reduction were not made. The payments or benefits shall be reduced in the
manner and order determined by the Executive, subject to the consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The determination of
whether the payments shall be reduced as provided in this Section 8(d) and the
amount of such reduction shall be made at the Company's expense by a public
accounting firm retained by the Company at the time the calculation is to be
performed, or one selected by the Company from among the four (4) largest public
accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting
Firm shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting
calculations and documentation to the Company and the Executive within twenty
(20) business days of the payment of the initial installment of the Severance
Amount. The Executive may review these calculations for a period of twenty days
and may retain another accounting firm (at her own expense) for such review and
submit objections during such twenty-day review period.
(e) NO OTHER ENTITLEMENT TO BENEFITS UNDER AGREEMENT. Except
as set forth in Section 7 or Section 8 of this Agreement, following a
termination governed by Section 7 or Section 8, the Executive shall not be
entitled to any other compensation or benefits, except as may be separately
negotiated by the parties and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
in writing in conjunction with the termination of Executive's employment.

agreed that the Company will or would suffer irreparable injury of the Company
in violation of the preceding sentence of this Agreement and that the Company
would by reason of such competition be entitled to injunctive relief in a court

from competing with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company,
in the areas of business set forth above, in violation of this Agreement.
(b) RIGHT TO COMPANY MATERIALS. The Executive agrees that all
styles, designs, lists, materials, books, files, reports, correspondence,

Executive shall not make or retain any copies thereof.
(c) SOLICITING EXECUTIVES. The Executive promises and agrees

(d) CONDITION OF MERGER AGREEMENT. The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that it was a condition to the Company's execution of the Merger
Agreement that Executive agree to be bound by the covenants contained in this
