     Re: Adrien Macaluso ("Macaluso") Employment Agreement
         ("Employment Agreement") with International Post Limited, Inc. ("IPL");
         Life Insurance Letter Agreement to modification to Employment Agreement

Dear Andre:

      The undersigned entered into a Separation Letter Agreement ("Separation
Agreement") simultaneously with the execution of this Life Insurance Letter
Agreement (the "Insurance Agreement").

      The purpose and intent of this Insurance Agreement is to clarify the next
to the last sentences of the last paragraph of the Separation Agreement
regarding any monies owed to Andre Adrien Macaluso ("Macaluso") by the
undersigned.

      There is presently in effect a certain whole life insurance policy with
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, ("Mass Mutual"), policy #7 742 440,
(the "Policy") with Macaluso as the Insured. Audio Plus Video International,
Inc. and Macaluso had previously entered into a Split Dollar Agreement on July
13, 1994, which among other things provided for the manner of the cash value
distribution upon the occurrence of certain events.

      The undersigned hereby agree that Mass Mutual upon receipt from Audio Plus
Video International, Inc. of a duly executed Release of Assignment for the
Policy may issue a check payable to Audio Plus Video International, Inc. in the
amount of $22,181.61 representing the contribution of premium payments made by
it from July 31, 1994 through this date. Mass Mutual may rely on this Letter
Agreement to issue such check to Audio Plus Video. Pending such payment and
Release of Assignment, both parties agree that the Policy will remain in full
force and effect. Upon receipt of payment, Audio Plus Video will have no lien,
encumbrance, or claim upon the Policy and Macaluso will make any decisions
regarding the Policy.

      By placing my signature below indicates my acceptance on behalf of IPL to
the terms, conditions and provisions as forth herein this Letter Agreement.

      Your signature below also indicates acceptance of this Letter Agreement.

                                          Very truly yours,


                                          /s/ Louis H. Siracusano
