         "18.  General  Release.  The  obligations  of the  Company  to make any
         post-termination  payments  under this  Agreement  (including,  without
         limitation,  under Sections 4.a.,  5.a.,  5.c. and 8.b.) are contingent

         the  Executive's  estate,  in the event of the death of the  Executive)
         fails to execute and deliver the general release described above within
         60 days of the date of receipt of the  release,  the  Company  shall be
         relieved of all  obligations to make any  post-termination  payments of
         any kind or nature under this Agreement."
