2.5, Participant's Final Average Earnings shall be that amount at the date of

         the second month following the Participant's termination of
         employment. For purposes of determining the present value of the
         Participant's total Normal Retirement Benefit, the Discount Rate which
         exists on the date of the Participants termination of employment shall
         be used.

         (b) PERIODIC DISTRIBUTION. An amount equal to the present value of the

         For purposes of determining the present value of the Participants
         total Normal Retirement Benefit, the Discount Rate which exists on the
         date of the Participant's termination of employment shall be used. To
         determine the amount of each installment payment, a fraction shall be

         payment date. The numerator shall consist of one (1) and the
         denominator shall consist of the total number of installment payments
         remaining (including the current payment). During the installment

         during which payments are made.

Participant based on the amount of excise tax or penalty payable by the
Participant because of such classification. Such payment will be made within

                                   ARTICLE V1
                     CONTINUATION OF MEDICAL PLAN COVERAGE

6.1. CONTINUATION OF MEDICAL COVERAGE. Following termination of employment with
the Employer, if Participant is entitled to payment of the Normal or Reduced
Retirement Benefit under the terms of the Agreement, then Participant, his
spouse and dependents will continue to be covered under the Employer's health
insurance program ("Health Plan") to the same extent as was present immediately
prior to the date of termination of employment. Employer shall continue to pay
Health Plan coverage costs of the Participant, his spouse and other dependents
under the Health Plan on the same basis as was applicable to active Employer
employees covered at the time of termination of employment.

6.2. PERIOD OF CONTINUED COVERAGE. Such coverage will continue for the period
equal to the shortest of the following: (1) for the number of years required
for the Participant to reach age 65, (2) until the Participant obtains
employment with another employer (who provides substantially similar coverage
under its health plan as was provided by Employer), or (3) until the death of
the Participant.

6.3. ALTERNATIVE COVERAGE. If continued participation in the Health Plan by
Participant, his spouse and any dependents is not possible under the terms of
the Health Plan, Employer will either: (1) provide substantially Identical
benefits through another health insurance plan, or will (2) provide an annual
cash payment to Participant sufficient to permit Participant to obtain
substantially equivalent individual, spouse and dependent coverage under a
health insurance plan of his choosing. It any cash payment is made to
Participant, the amount of cash payment will be "grossed up" for income tax
purposes (using the maximum individual income tax rate under the Code at the
time of payment) to insure no net out of pocket costs to the Participant in
obtaining such additional coverage.

IN WITNESSES WHEREOF, the undersigned Employer and Participant do hereby
execute this Agreement effective the date first stated above.
