                           For purposes of Section  7(c)(iv) the  following
         terms will have the meanings set forth below:

                           (P) A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have
         occurred upon any of the following events: (i) the acquisition in one
         or more transactions by any "person" (as the term person is used for
         purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
         1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")) of "beneficial ownership" (within


                                       3
<PAGE>


         the meaning of Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of fifteen
         percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Employer's
         then outstanding voting securities (the "Voting Securities"), provided,
         however, that for purposes hereof the Voting Securities acquired (by
         sale, merger, consolidation or in any other manner) from the Employer
         by any person shall be excluded from the determination of such person's
         beneficial ownership of Voting Securities (but such Voting Securities
         shall be included in the calculation of the total number of Voting
         Securities then outstanding); or (ii) the individuals who, as of the
         date hereof, are members of the Board of Directors of the Employer (the
         "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute more than
         one-half of the Board; provided, however, that, if the election, or
         nomination for election by the Employer's shareholders, of any new
         director was approved by a vote of more than one-half of the Incumbent
         Board, such new director shall, for purposes hereof, be considered as a
         member of the Incumbent Board; or (iii) approval by the shareholders of
         the Employer of (A) a merger or consolidation involving the Employer if
         the shareholders of the Employer immediately before such merger or
         consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly immediately following
         such merger or consolidation, more than one-half of the combined voting
         power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting
         from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion
         as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such
         merger or consolidation (unless, however, the event described in
         subparagraph (ii) above does not occur in connection therewith) or (B)
         a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Employer or an agreement
         for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
         assets of the Employer; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
         foregoing, (x) a change in control shall not be deemed to occur solely
         because fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding Voting
         Securities is acquired by (1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding
         securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the
         Employer or any of its subsidiaries, (2) any corporation which,
         immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly
         by the shareholders of the Employer in the same proportion as their
         ownership of stock in the Employer immediately prior to such
         acquisition or (3) the Employee and/or Peter Beshouri or any person
         directly or indirectly controlled, under common control with or
         controlled by either or both of them, and (y) a change in control shall
         not be deemed to occur solely because any person (the "Subject Person")
         acquired beneficial ownership of more than the permitted amount of the
         outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting
         Securities by the Employer which, by reducing the number of Voting
         Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
         beneficially owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a change in
         control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a
         result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Employer and,
         after such share acquisition by the Employer, the Subject Person
         becomes the beneficial owner of any additional Voting Securities which
         increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities
         beneficially owned by the Subject Person, then a change in control
         shall occur.

                           (Q) The "Effective Date of the Change in Control"
         shall be the later to occur of the closing date or the effective date
         (as the case may be) of the transaction or event resulting in the
         Change in Control; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the


                                       4
<PAGE>


         foregoing, the Effective Date of the Change in Control solely for the
         event set forth in item (i) of subsection (P) of this Section 7(c)(iv)
         shall be the date fifteen (15) business days after the occurrence of
         such event.

         7. EFFECT. Except as otherwise modified by this Tenth Amendment, all
terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement shall remain effective and
continue operating in full force throughout the entire term of the Agreement, as
amended.

         8. CAPTIONS. Paragraph titles or captions contained in this Tenth
Amendment are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in
no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Tenth Amendment or
the intent of any provision hereof.
