During the Employment Period, Executive and his dependents shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s standard employee benefit plans and programs, including sick leave, for which employees of the Company are generally eligible (collectively, the “ Benefits ”). Executive recognizes that the Benefits shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plans and programs.  The Company shall not, however, by reason of this Section 3(c)  be obligated to institute, maintain or refrain from changing, amending or discontinuing any such benefit plan or program, so long as such changes are similarly applicable to other employees of the Company generally.
