This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9.01 hereof, shall be for a term ending August 31, 2005 (the Term).

Upon expiration of the term of this Agreement or if Employees employment is terminated by the Company prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement without cause or other than (a) by reason of Employees death or Disability or (b) for
Cause, the Company shall pay or provide to Employee, in lieu of all other amounts payable hereunder or benefits to be provided hereunder, the following:

(iii) if the Employees employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.03 prior to December 25, 2005, a payment equal to (a) a prorated portion of the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above based on the proportion that the number of days from January 1 in the year of such termination through and including December 25, 2005 bears to the total number of days in the year of termination less any amount of Employees Base Salary and Target Incentive Pay for the 2005 fiscal year that that has been previously paid to Employee (it being understood that the amount described in this clause (iii) shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, the payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and it also being understood that the payment described in this clause (iii) shall be in full satisfaction and in lieu of any entitlement by the Employee under the Companys Target Incentive Plan);
(iv) an amount equal to the payment described in Section 9.02 of this Agreement; and
(v) the acceleration of any unvested rights of Employee under any stock options or other equity incentive programs such that they shall immediately vest under the terms of such plans.
As a condition precedent to the requirement of Company to make such payments or grant such accelerated vesting, Employee shall not be in breach of his obligations under Section 10 hereof and Employee shall execute and deliver to Company a general release in favor of the Company in substantially the same form as the general release then contained in the latest Severance Agreement being used by the Company.
Any Payments required to be made under this Section 8.03 shall be made to Employee as soon as practicable after the date of Employees termination of employment.

(i) a payment equal to the sum of one (1) times Employees Base Salary at the time of termination;
(ii) a payment equal to one (1) times Employees Target Incentive Pay for the year in which such termination occurs (or, if no Target Incentive Pay has been designated for such year, then the Target Incentive Pay for the last year in which it was designated prior to such termination);
