Corporation and Employee desire to amend
and restate the Prior Agreement to comply with

    2.           Severance
Pay.  In the event of a Change in Control of the Corporation
and the Involuntary Termination of Employee’s Employment within eighteen (18)

due and payable in full at the time of Employee’s receipt of final payment of
his regular compensation.

Control, but will continue to perform his duties in the same manner and with the
same effort as he had employed prior to the occurrence of such
events.

    4.           Rights to Terminate
Employment.  This Agreement is not an employment
agreement.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude the
present management of the Corporation or the Employee from terminating
Employee’s employment, with or without cause, at any time.

    5.           No Obligation to Maintain
Reserves.  Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the

hereunder.

    6.           Binding
Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, their heirs, executors, administrators,
