being the parties' intention and agreement that unless this Agreement is

month in which the Executive Retires or upon such later date as may be mutually
agreed upon in writing by the Executive and the Employer in advance of said
Retirement Date.

3.2. Payments in the Event of Death After Retirement. The Employer agrees that
if the Executive Retires, but shall die before receiving all of the one hundred
eighty (180) monthly payments described in paragraph 3.1 above, the Employer
will make the remaining monthly payments, undiminished and on the same schedule
as if the Executive had not died, to the Executive's designated beneficiary. If
a valid Beneficiary Designation is not in effect, then the remaining amounts due
to the Executive under the term of this Agreement shall be paid to the
Executive's Surviving Spouse. If the Executive leaves no Surviving Spouse, the
remaining amounts due to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement shall
be paid to the duly qualified personal representative, executor or administrator
of the Executive's estate.

4. Payments in the Event of Death Prior to Retirement. In the event the
Executive should die while actively employed by the Employer at any time after
the Effective Date of this Agreement, but prior to Retirement, the Employer
agrees to pay the Annual Benefit with the Applicable Percentage equal to 100%
for a period of fifteen (15) years in one hundred eighty (180) equal monthly
installments, with each installment to be paid on the first of each month
beginning with the month following the Executive's death, to the Executive's
designated beneficiary. If a valid Beneficiary Designation is not in effect,
then the amounts due to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement shall be
paid to the Executive's Surviving Spouse. If the Executive leaves no Surviving
Spouse, the amounts due to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement shall
be paid to the duly qualified personal representative, executor or administrator
of the Executive's estate.

Termination for Cause or Retirement. As indicated in Paragraph 2 above, the
Employer reserves the right to terminate the Executive's employment, with or
without cause but subject to any written employment agreement which may then
exist, at any time prior to the Executive's Retirement. In the event that the
employment of the Executive shall be terminated for any reason, including
voluntary termination by the Executive, but other than by reason of (i) death,
(11) Termination for Cause, or (iii) Retirement, the Executive or his legal
representative shall be entitled to be paid the Annual Benefit, with the
Applicable Percentage as set forth in Schedule A and as determined by the
applicable years of service at the time of termination of employment with the
Employer, for a period of fifteen (15) years in one hundred eighty (180) equal
monthly installments, with each installment to be paid on the first day of each
month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Executive
terminates employment and attains sixty-six (66) years of age, provided that in
the event the Executive dies after such termination but prior to age 66 then
such benefits are to be paid beginning with the month following the Executive's
death.

5.1 Termination in a Sale of Business. In the event there is a Sale of Business,
following which Executive is not retained in the same or comparable position,
the Executive shall be entitled to be paid in cash in a lump sum on the date of

installments beginning on the first day of the month following the consummation
of the Sale of Business. The present value of the amount shall be determined
using the long term monthly Applicable Federal Rate at the time of the
consummation of the Sale of Business. If the Internal Revenue Service or any
other tax authority makes any claim, demand or assessment in any form based
directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, on the allegation that any payment
under this Agreement and/or any other payment by Employer to or for the benefit
of the Executive at any time constitutes a "parachute payment" under Section
28OG of the Code or ally similar or successor provision of federal or state law,
Employer and Executive agree that Employer, its successors and/or assigns shall
reimburse Executive for any monies paid in satisfaction of such claim, demand or
assessment.

6. Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event
the termination of employment of the Executive is Termination for Cause as
defined in Paragraph 1. 13, the Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits
pursuant to this agreement.

7. No Ownership Rights to the Employer's Assets. The Employer reserves the right
to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether, to what extent and
by what method, if any, to provide for the payment of the amounts which may be
payable to the Executive, the Executive's spouse or the Executive's
beneficiaries under the terms of this Agreement ("Benefits"). The rights of the
Executive or any beneficiary of the Executive under this Agreement shall be
solely those of an unsecured creditor of the Employer. In the event that the
Employer, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to acquire an insurance
policy, an annuity or any other asset to recoup the costs or any portion thereof
of the Benefits, then such insurance policy, annuity or other asset shall not be
deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of the Executive or his
beneficiaries or to be security for the performance of the obligations of the
Employer under this Agreement, but shall be, and remain, a general unpledged,
unrestricted asset of the Employer. The Executive and his beneficiaries shall
have no rights whatsoever with respect to, or any claim against, any such
insurance policy, annuity or other asset. In connection with the Employer
electing to acquire any such insurance policy or annuity, the Executive agrees

facilitate such acquisition, and pursuant thereto shall execute such documents
and undergo such medical examinations or tests as the Employer may reasonably
request.

comply with ERISA, be designated as the named fiduciary under this Agreement and

this Agreement. Consistent therewith, the Employer shall make all determinations
as to the rights to benefits under this Agreement. Any decision by the Employer
denying a claim by the Executive, the Executive's spouse, or the Executive's
beneficiary for benefits under this Agreement shall be stated in writing and
delivered or mailed, via registered or certified mail, to the Executive, the
Executive's spouse or the Executive's beneficiary, as the case may be. Such
decision shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial of a claim. In
addition, the Employer shall provide the Executive, the Executive's spouse or
the Executive's beneficiary with a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair
review of the decision denying such claim.

or claims in or to any specific property or assets of the Employer; (ii) none of

way as security for the fulfillment of the obligations of the Employer under
