(c) The Employee agrees that during the Term, he will comply with all regulations and guidelines of ENB Insurance, will do nothing to jeopardize or impair ENB Insurance’s insurance licenses, and will comply with all rules and regulations of the New York State Insurance Department and the statutes of the State of New York or any other state which regulates the business(s) of ENB Insurance.

(d) The Employee shall maintain any and all licenses and permits required to be owned or possessed by him under applicable law (including NASD License) in order to perform the duties required by him hereunder. The Employee shall keep and maintain all of such licenses and permits in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement.

(e) The Employee shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be subject to ENB Insurance’s and the Parent’s rules, practices and policies applicable to their Executive Employees, respectively.

(a) The Employee’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following:

(iv) in accordance with the terms of Section 8 upon the "disability" (as hereinafter defined) of the Employee; and
