SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE AMENDMENT
TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
  WHEREAS,
 WHEREAS,
 NOW, THEREFORE,
 Termination of Employment
 Timing of Payments
 (a)
    
    To the extent that the Agreement requires that a payment shall be made upon or
as soon as reasonably practicable after an event (e.g.,termination of employment),
such payment shall be made no later than 90 days after the occurrence of such event
(or, if earlier, within 21/2 months following the end of the
Executives taxable year in which such event occurs). The Executive may not designate
the taxable year of such payment.
 (b)
    
    To the extent that any payment in the Agreement is contingent upon the
Executive entering into a separation and release agreement with the Company, the
Executive shall sign and return the separation and release agreement within the
reasonable time period designated by the Company, in order to assure that payment shall
be made within the time period set forth in paragraph (a) above but not prior to
expiration of any period specified for revocation of such Agreement by the Executive.

    To the extent that the Agreement provides for the reimbursement of specified
expenses incurred by the Executive, such reimbursement shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of the Agreement, but in no event later than the
last day of the Executives taxable year following the taxable year in which the
expense was incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind
benefits provided by the Company in any taxable year of the Executive shall not
affect the amount of expenses or in-kind benefits to be reimbursed or provided in
any other year (except in the case of maximum benefits to be provided under a
medical reimbursement arrangement, if applicable).
 (d)
    
    Annual bonus otherwise payable under the Agreement after the end of a bonus
plan performance period shall be paid within
21/2 months after the end of the fiscal
year of the Company to which such bonus relates.

EXHIBIT A TO
SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE AMENDMENT
TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 Addendum to Paragraph 1 Regarding Termination of Employment
 (a)
    
    The Executive shall not be treated as having incurred a voluntary termination
of employment while on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence
if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the
Executives right to reemployment with the Company is provided either by statute or by
contract. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the right to reemployment is
not provided either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to
terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period.
 (b)
    
    Whether the Executive shall have incurred a termination of employment shall be
determined based on all relevant facts and circumstances. In situations in which the
Executive continues to be carried on the payroll of the Company but performs only
nominal services, or ceases to be an employee but continues to provide substantial
services in another capacity, such as pursuant to a consulting agreement, the
determination of whether a termination of employment has occurred shall be determined
in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii), or any successor
thereto.
 (c)
    
    For additional information,
see Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).
