the provisions of this Agreement and such breach shall have continued in effect
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to the Executive

notice of nonrenewal at the expiration of the original term or any extension
thereof, other than by reason of death, Disability, or for Cause, or (2) the
Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company for Good
Reason, then (i) the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the
balance of the base salary which the Executive would have received had the
Executive's employment continued through June 30, 1998, which amount shall be
payable at the times and intervals set forth in Section 4 hereof, provided that
the Executive shall receive continuation payments of at least twelve (12)
months base salary following the effective date of termination pursuant to
this Section 5(b); and (ii) the Company shall continue to provide the

provided that such benefit continuation shall be for a period of not less
than twelve (12) months following the effective date of termination pursuant
to this Section 5(b).  In addition to the foregoing, upon such termination

for travel expenses, or the like) shall be immediately due and payable by the
Company to the Executive.
