Company will be relieved of any further salary liability under the agreement
notwithstanding the number of years covered by the agreement prior to
termination. In the event the agreement is not extended by the Company beyond
the scheduled expiration date (September 30, 2004), as such date may be
extended, Dr. Trbovich will be entitled to a severance payment equal to nine
