      one
      of its businesses. Cause shall not exist unless and until the Company has
      delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the board
      of

      the

      titles or authority; (b) any failure by the Company to comply with Section
      3

      a location that is more than [50] miles from the Executive&#8217;s work location on
      the effective date of this Agreement, (d) any material breach of this Agreement
      by the Company, or (e) a &#8220;Change of Control&#8221;. The Executive&#8217;s right to terminate
      his employment hereunder for Good Reason shall not be affected by his incapacity
      due to physical or mental illness. The Executive&#8217;s continued employment shall
      not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or
      failure to act constituting Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, a
      &#8220;Change of Control&#8221; shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) a tender offer shall
      be made and consummated for the ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding

      consolidated with another corporation or entity and as a result of such merger
      or consolidation less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the
      surviving or resulting corporation or entity shall be owned in the aggregate

      409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed

      the
      payment or provision thereof shall be postponed to the earliest business day
      on
      which the Company reasonably determines such amount or benefit can be paid
      or

      first business day after the six-month anniversary of the Executive&#8217;s
      termination date (the &#8220;Delayed Payment Date&#8221;). In addition, if the Company
      reasonably determines that such 409A Tax with respect to the provision of a
      benefit can likely be avoided by replacing the benefit with the payment of
      an
      amount in cash equal to the cost of a substantially equivalent benefit then,
      in
      lieu providing such benefit, the Company may make such cash payment, subject
      to
      the preceding sentence. The Company and the Executive may agree to take other
      actions to avoid the imposition of 409A Tax at such time and in such manner
      as
      permitted under Section 409A. In the event that a delay of any payment is
      required under this provision, such payment shall be accumulated and paid in
      a
      single lump sum on the Delayed Payment Date together with interest for the
      period of delay, compounded monthly, equal to the prime or base lending rate
      then used by CitiBank, N.A., in New York City and in effect as of the date

      Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption
      depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee&#8217;s
      investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Optionee
      understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
      statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Optionee&#8217;s
      representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these
      Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
      for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price
      of
      the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the
      future. The Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held
      indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act
      or
      an exemption from such registration is available. The Optionee further
      acknowledges and understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to
      register the Securities. The Optionee understands that the certificate
      evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the
      transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration
      is
      not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation and
      other
      legends required under the applicable state or federal securities
      laws.</font></div>

      Optionee is aware of the Corporation&#8217;s business affairs and financial condition
      and has acquired sufficient information about the Corporation to reach an
      informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Optionee
      is
      acquiring these Securities for investment for the Optionee&#8217;s own account only
      and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a &#8220;distribution&#8221;
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
&#8220;Securities Act&#8221;).</font></div>

      Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute &#8220;restricted
      securities&#8221; under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the
      Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption
      depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee&#8217;s
      investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Optionee
      understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
      statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Optionee&#8217;s
      representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these
      Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
      for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price
      of
      the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the
      future. The Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held
      indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act
      or
      an exemption from such registration is available. The Optionee further
      acknowledges and understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to
      register the Securities. The Optionee understands that the certificate
      evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the
      transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration
      is
      not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation and
      other
      legends required under the applicable state or federal securities
      laws.</font></div>
