1.  Section 7(c)(i) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(c)         Termination by the Company other than for Cause and Good Reason
Termination by Officer.

(i)         Lump Sum Payments.  If either (a) the Company terminates Officer's

then the Company shall pay to Officer the following amounts:

 
(A)
Officer's Earned Salary;

 
(B)
a cash amount (the "Severance Amount") equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the
sum of

 
(1)
Officer's annual Base Salary; and

 
(2)
the greater of (i) the average of the bonus amount payable (including any
amounts payable under the AIP) to Officer (including any amounts the receipt of
which Officer elected to defer) with respect to the three fiscal years of the
Company (or, if fewer, the number of such fiscal years in which Officer was an
employee of the Company or its affiliates) immediately before the Change in
Control (including, for this purpose, any AIP Payout (as defined in Section
7(c)(i)(C)) or (ii) the average of the bonus amount payable (including any
amounts payable under the AIP) to Officer (including any amounts the receipt of

 (C)
if Officer has an annual cash bonus opportunity (including a cash
bonus  opportunity under the AIP) outstanding and unpaid as of the Date of
Termination, a cash payment (the “AIP Payout”) equal to (1) if the Date of
Termination is before December 31 of the fiscal year of the Company to which
such bonus opportunity relates, an amount equal to Officer’s target bonus
opportunity under such bonus plan for such fiscal year, and (2) if the Date of
Termination is on or after December 31 of the fiscal year of the Company to
which such bonus opportunity relates, an amount equal to the amount Officer
would have received under such bonus plan for such fiscal year based on actual
achievement of the performance goals with respect thereto (assuming, for this
purpose, that all subjective performance measures are achieved at a level equal
to the greater of the level determined by the Company pursuant to the terms of
such bonus plan and 100%).  Payment of the AIP Payout shall be in lieu of
payment of any annual cash bonus opportunity otherwise due and payable with

and (b) if payable under Section 7(c)(i)(C)(2), as soon as practi­cable, but in
