                Vacation:
                  

              	
                Per
                  company policy (plus an additional week subject to the approval

                  company policy.

              

      

    

     

    
      	
              Fringe
                Benefits:

            	
              You
                shall be entitled to any other Fringe Benefits provided to employees
                of
                the company, per company policy and in no event shall such other
                Fringe
                Benefits provided to you be less than any such benefit offered to
                any
                other senior executive with the company (except the CEO). Notwithstanding
                the foregoing, some executives have been provided with a car allowance
                (generally in lieu of a salary increase) and you will not be eligible
                for
                this benefit at this time. Also, you may participate in the Company
                401K
                plan but you will not receive the Company match as you have a separate
                pension benefit not available to other executives. Should you terminate
                your employment with the Company prior to the first vesting date
                (fourth
                anniversary of your employment) for your Pension Benefit, whatever
                benefits you would have been eligible for, you will receive from
                the
                Company. 

            

    

    

    
      	
              Severance:

            	
              In
                the event your employment with the company is terminated by the company
                for any reason, you will receive Severance in an amount equal to
                your
                annual Base Salary (in addition to any other amounts due to you from
                the
                company) should the termination date fall prior to your vesting in
                the
                Pension Benefit in the 4th
                year. Thereafter, Severance will be limited to 50% of your annual
                Base
                Salary (plus any other amounts due to you from the
                company).

            

    

     

    If
      the
      above terms reflect our understanding, please sign below and return a copy
      of
      this letter to my attention. This letter will serve as the basis of our
      agreement until a more formal employment agreement is completed. I look forward
      to your joining our company.

    

    Sincerely,

    

    

    

    
      	
              James
                J. Cotter

            	
              Agreed
                & Accepted:

            
	
              Chairman,
                CEO & President
