of any termination of the Employee's employment during the period November 7,
1999 through November 4, 2000, at the annual rate in effect on the date of
termination through November 4, 2000 and, thereafter for the balance of the

Emplyment Agreement are also hereby deleted.

     9.   The address for notices to the Employee set forth in Section 15 of
