SIGTERM is the standard unix signal to kill a process. This is exactly the log message you get if you type "apachectl stop" or "kill <PID>". So something must be doing this... You say the times are random - are you certain? Check in the crontab for root to see if there is a forgotten instruction to stop apache (check all the other crontabs if apache doesn't start as root). I notice below that the SIGTERM is followed immediately by a start and then by another SIGTERM - could there be a rogue daemon running - maybe to rotate logs or something? Check it out.
