    1.
      A new
      Section 28, titled “Post-Retirement Health Benefits”, shall be added to the
      Agreement as follows:

    


    “After
      the

      latter of the death of (A) the Executive or (B) his spouse; or (ii) the tenth

      shall continue to receive the medical coverage in effect on the date of the

      charge from time to time to former employees generally for such coverage;
      provided that in order to receive such continued coverage, the Executive (or
      his
      spouse, in the event of the Executive's death) shall be required to pay to
      the
      Company, at the same time that COBRA premium payments are due for the month,
      an
      amount equal to the full monthly COBRA premium payments required for such
      coverage.”

    


    2.
      All
      other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and
      effect.
