                  Employee"), the benefits of such Protected
                  Employee under the Plan shall be immediately

                  any such termination of employment.


     3.  Clause (i) of the definition of "Good Reason" in Section II-A(4)(h) of
         the Plan is amended by adding the following additional proviso to the
         end thereof:

                  ; provided further, however, that no event
                  described in this clause (i) shall constitute
                  Good Reason for purposes of Section II-A(5)
                  hereof;


     4.  Section II-A(3) is amended by adding the following new sentences to the
         end thereof:

                  For purposes of this Section II-A(3), the
                  definition of "Change in Control" shall be that
                  set forth in Section II-A(4)(c) except that the
                  third sentence of Section II-A(4)(c) shall be

                  applicable to any Potential Change in Control
                  related to any Approved Change in Control
                  shall, for purposes of this Section II-A(3),

     5.  Article III is amended by adding the following proviso:

                  ; provided, however, that no such action shall
                  adversely affect an individual's rights under
                  the Plan without the written consent of such
                  individual if such action is taken within 24
                  months after a Change in Control or within 12
                  months after a Potential Change in Control
                  (excluding for this purpose the third sentence
                  of Section II-A(4)(c) above).
