     total Policy proceeds over the Amount specified by Executive pursuant to
     Section 3.  The receipt by the Company of the excess over the amount shall

     paid to the Executive's estate.

          (c) If any beneficiary who is entitled to receive a payment from the
     Company pursuant to this Agreement is a minor, the Company, in its

     adult person with whom the minor is living at the time or to any person who
     is legally qualified and is acting as guardian of the minor or of the
     property of the minor, provided that the parent or adult person to whom any
     amount is to be paid had advised the Company in writing that he or she will
     hold or use the Amount for the benefit of the minor.

          (d) If a beneficiary who is entitled to receive a payment from the
     Company under this Agreement is physically or mentally incapable of
     personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for any payment due, the
     payment may be made to the beneficiary's legal representative, the person's
     spouse, son, daughter, parent, brother, sister or other person deemed by
     the Company to have incurred expense for the person otherwise entitled to
     payment.

          (e) The selection of a method of distribution under this Section shall
     be in the discretion of the Company, and the Company may not be compelled
     to select any method it does not deem to be in the best interest of the

          (b) If the Policy is assigned or encumbered in any way, other than a

     Policy Loan, on the date of the Executive's death, the Company shall secure
     a release or discharge of the assignment or encumbrance to ensure the
     prompt payment of death proceeds under the Policy to the Executive's
     beneficiary or beneficiaries.

               (ii) termination of the Executive's employment other than by

     to the Executive.

          (b) If this Agreement is terminated because of the Executive's
     termination of employment for cause (as determined by the Company), the
     Executive shall have no rights to the Policy and shall not be permitted to
     effectuate a Roll-out at any time.

          (c) If this Agreement is terminated because of the Executive's
     termination of employment for a reason other than cause, retirement, or a

     in the Policy free and clear of all liens, claims or encumbrances
     (including any Policy loans) for cash, by tendering to the Company an
     amount equal to the Company's Recoverable Amount. The Executive may direct
     the Company to borrow against the cash value of the Policy or surrender any
     paid-up additions to the Policy and purchase the Policy, subject to any
     such Policy loan, for an amount equal to the Company's Recoverable Amount
     less such borrowed or cashed-in values.

     12.  Miscellaneous.

     be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts
     of any person entitled benefit under this Agreement.

          (d) This Agreement shall not confer upon the Executive any legal or
     equitable right against the Company except as expressly provided in this
     Agreement, the Plan and the Policy.

          (e) Neither this Agreement, the Plan nor the Policy shall constitute
     an inducement or consideration for the employment of the Executive and
     shall not give the Executive any right to be retained in the employ of the
     Company, and the Company hereby retains the right to discharge the
     Executive at any time, with or without cause.

     fact in no way affects the validity of enforceability of any other
