3. Term of Consulting Relationship. The consulting relationship under Paragraph 2 of this Agreement shall commence on April 1, 2012, and end on March 31, 2014 (or such extended time as may be agreed by the Company and the Consultant), (the “Consulting Period”), unless sooner terminated (a) immediately upon the death or disability of the Consultant, (b) immediately if the Consultant becomes engaged in any Business Activity (as hereinafter defined), (c) by written notice from the Company that, in the Company’s sole determination (which will not be made arbitrarily or capriciously), the Consultant has breached any of his obligations hereunder or has engaged or is engaging in conduct which is detrimental to the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (d) by 60 days’ written notice of termination given by the Consultant, or immediately upon written notice of termination given by the Company.
