a bonus determined by the Board in its sole discretion.   The

June 30, 2008 and the amount of a bonus, if any, for each of the
foregoing periods shall consider the achievement and surpassing

Board deems relevant.

Company (other than as provided in Section 7(a)) upon thirty (30)

be in breach of or in default under any provision of this Agreement.

salary due her at the rate in effect on the date written notice
is delivered hereunder for the then balance of the Term, not
