Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may increase Employee's base

salary as it deems appropriate based on such review.



     (b) BONUS. Employee shall also be eligible for a bonus of up to 35% of the

the Company terminates for any reason other than pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof

(voluntary termination by the Employee) or 6(b)(ii) hereof (Termination for

Cause), Employee shall be entitled to receive a pro rated bonus for such year,

determined by multiplying the aggregate bonus that he would have earned for the

entire year by a fraction representing the portion of the year during which he

was employed. Such bonus shall be paid on February 15th of the following year.

If Employee's employment with the Company terminates pursuant to Section 6(c)

hereof or Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, Employee shall be deemed to have forfeited

his entire bonus for such year and no such bonus shall be due or payable by the

Company.
