      follows (the “Amendment”):

     

    1.Term.
      Section
      1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
      with the following text:

     

    “Subject
      to earlier termination as provided herein, the employment of the Employee

      as
      follows: 

     

    “Upon
      the
      termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of “retirement” (as defined
      in the Corporation’s Health and Welfare Plan for Early Retirees (the
“Retiree
      Plan”)),
      the
      Employee (and his or her eligible spouse and dependents) shall be entitled
      to
      receive post-retirement medical insurance coverage pursuant to the terms of
      the
      Retiree Plan, for which the cost of premiums shall be paid by the Employee
      (or
      such spouse and/or dependents). In the event that the Retiree Plan is no longer
      in effect (or if otherwise necessary for tax and legal purposes), the
      Corporation shall make available equivalent coverage to the Employee (and such
      spouse and/or dependents) at substantially the same cost to the Employee (and
      such spouse and/or dependents) as would have been charged under the Retiree
      Plan
      as of the earlier of the date the Retiree Plan is terminated and the time of
      the
      Employee’s retirement (“Equivalent
      Retiree Coverage”);
      provided,
      however,
      that
      the Corporation may increase the premium charged to the Employee (and such
      spouse and/or dependents) based on the increase in cost, if any, to provide
      the
      Retiree Plan that may arise after the Employee’s retirement. The Corporation
      shall take all action necessary to ensure that the Equivalent Retiree Coverage,
      if any, shall be provided other than pursuant to the terms of a self-insured
      medical

      any
      such direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate or to engage in any Competing
      Business, or hire, or induce or solicit (or assist others to hire or induce
