     B.  TERMINATION PAYMENTS. In the event of Officer's termination, severance
         payments ("Severance Amount Payments") shall be made as follows:

         1.  Termination for Cause Payment. If Officer's employment with the

             retirement on or after age 65, any portion of the fixed salary

<PAGE>

             after the receipt of such notice, then a reason for termination for
             cause shall be deemed not to have occurred. If Officer shall not
             remedy the condition constituting cause within such time period,
             then Termination for Cause shall occur on the date set forth in the
             notice from the Company.

             severance pay in lieu of any further salary an amount equal to the

             termination multiplied by one (1).

     C.  DEFINITIONS. All the terms defined in this paragraph 4 shall have the
         meanings given below throughout this Agreement:

         2.  a "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

               a) a tender offer or exchange offer is made and consummated for
                  the ownership of securities of the Company representing 662/3

                  another corporation which is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of

                                        4
<PAGE>

         3.  a "GOOD REASON" shall mean:

               a) without written consent the assignment of Officer to any
                  duties inconsistent with, or any adverse change in, Officer's
                  titles or positions, duties, responsibilities or status with
                  the Company, or the removal of Officer from, or failure to
                  reelect Officer to, any of such positions except in connection
                  with Termination for Cause, disability, retirement, or death;
                  or

               b) the failure of the Company to provide support, information,
                  assistance and staffing reasonably appropriate for Officer to
                  carry out Officer's duties or to achieve the performance goals
                  set by the company; or

               c) any other material breach by the Company of this Agreement
                  which is not cured within thirty (30) days of notice thereof
                  by the Officer to the Company; or

     D.  GOLDEN PARACHUTE PAYMENT REDUCTION. It is the intention of the parties
         that the Severance Amount Payments under this Agreement shall not
         constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section
         280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any
         regulation thereunder. If the independent accountants acting as
         auditors of the Company on the date of a Change of Control (or another
         accounting firm designated by them) determine that the Severance Amount
         Payments under this Agreement may constitute "excess parachute
         payments", the payments may be reduced to the maximum amount which may
         be paid without the payments being "excess parachute payments". The
         determination shall take into account (i) whether the payments are
         "parachute payments" under Section 280G and, if so, (ii) the amount of
         payments under this agreement that constitutes reasonable compensation
         under Section 280G. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent
         the Company after a Change of Control from agreeing to pay the Officer
         compensation or benefits in excess of those provided in this Agreement.

5.   DISABILITY.

         In the event that Officer is permanently disabled so as to be unable to
fully perform the services required hereunder, Officer's obligation to perform
such services will terminate and the Company may terminate this Agreement upon
five day's written notice to Officer. In the event of such termination,
Officer's fixed salary as defined in Paragraph 3A hereof shall continue during
the then remaining Term of the Agreement, reduced by any payments received by
Officer during such term under a long-term disability plan or policy maintained
by the Company. The Company shall have sole discretion, based on competent
medical advice, to determine whether Officer is and continues to be permanently
disabled for purposes of this Paragraph.

6.   NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

         Officer acknowledges that the Company may disclose certain confidential
information to Officer during the term of this Agreement to enable Officer to
perform the duties required hereunder. Officer hereby covenants and agrees that
he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the term

                                        5
<PAGE>

of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, disclose or permit to be disclosed
to any third party by any method whatsoever any of the confidential information
of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "confidential information" shall
include, but not be limited to, any and all records, notes, memoranda, data,

devices, programs, computer software, writings, research, personnel information,
customer information, the Company's financial information, plans, or any other
information of whatever nature in the possession or control of the Company which
has not been published or disclosed to the general public, or which gives to the
Company an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know
of or use it. Officer further agrees that if Officer's employment hereunder is
terminated for any reason, he will leave with the Company and will not take
originals or copies of any and all records, papers, programs, computer software,
and documents and all matter of whatever nature that bears secret or
confidential information of the Company.

         The foregoing paragraph shall not be applicable if and to extent
Officer is required to testify in a judicial or regulatory proceeding pursuant
to an order of a judge or administrative law judge. Officer agrees promptly to
reduce to writing and to disclose and assign, and hereby does assign, to the
Company, its parent, subsidiary, successors, assigns, and nominees, all
inventions, discoveries, improvements, copyrightable material, trademarks,
programs, computer software, and ideas concerning the same, capable of use in
connection with the business of the Company, which Officer may make or conceive,
either solely or jointly with others, during the period of Employment by the
Company, its parent, subsidiaries, or successors.

         Officer agrees, without charge to the Company and at the Company's
expense, to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Company all such papers,
including applications for patents, applications for copyright and trademark
registrations, and assignments thereof, as may be necessary, and at all times to
assist the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, and nominees
in every proper way to patent or register said programs, computer software,
ideas, inventions, discoveries, improvements, copyrightable material, or
trademarks in any and all countries and to vest title thereto in the Company,
its parent, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, or nominees. Officer will
promptly report to the company all discoveries, inventions, or improvements of
whatever nature conceived or made by Officer at any time he was employed by the
Company, its parent, subsidiaries, or successors. All such discoveries,
inventions, and improvements which are applicable in any way to the Company's
business shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The covenants
set forth in this paragraph which are made by Officer are in consideration of
the employment or continuing employment of, and the compensation paid to,
Officer during employment by the Company. The foregoing covenants will not
prohibit Officer from disclosing confidential or other information to other
employees of the Company or to third parties to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to the performance of the duties required under this Agreement. Any
breach of this covenant of nondisclosure will result in the forfeiture by
Officer and all other persons of any and all rights to severance pay and
supplemental pension benefits unpaid at the time of breach and in such event the
Company shall have no further obligation to pay any amount related thereto.

         Officer recognizes that irreparable injury will result to the Company
and to its business and properties in the event of any breach by Officer of any
of the provisions of Paragraphs 9 and 10 of this Agreement, and that Officer's
continued employment is predicated on the commitments undertaken by Officer
pursuant to said paragraphs. In the event of any breach of any of Officer's
commitments pursuant to Paragraphs 8 and 9, the Company shall be entitled, in
addition to any other remedies and damages available, to injunctive relief to
restrain the violation of such commitments by Officer or by any person or
persons acting for or with Officer in any capacity whatsoever.

with such assignment, acquires all or substantially all of the Company's assets
or into or with which the Company is merged and consolidated.


9.   WAIVER.

         The waiver by the Company of a breach by Officer of any provision of
this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by
Officer.

         If any clause, phrase, provision, or portion of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable law, such event shall not affect or render
