         2.       Normal Retirement Benefit.

         (a)      Amount of Salary Continuation Payments. If Employee retires
or becomes Disabled on or after his Normal Retirement Date, the Company shall
make Salary Continuation Payments to Employee in the amount described under the
heading entitled "Salary Continuation Payments" in Schedule A.

         (b)      Commencement; Preservation. Employee's Salary Continuation
Payments shall commence within 30 days after Employee's retirement and shall be
made monthly thereafter for and during the lifetime of Employee (provided,
however, that certain payments may continue after Employee's death pursuant to
subsection (c) or (d) below). If the Company terminates Employee's employment
without Cause (or if a Voluntary Termination occurs within six months prior to,
or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in Control) before
Employee's Normal Retirement Date, Employee nevertheless shall remain eligible
to receive Salary Continuation Payments as described in Schedule A upon
attainment of his Normal Retirement Date; provided, however, that if at the
time Salary Continuation Payments first become payable to Employee the term of
Employee's employment agreement with the Company has not yet expired and the
Company has an obligation under said employment agreement to continue to pay
amounts of salary and bonus to employee for all or a portion of the remaining
term of said employment agreement, then the commencement of Salary Continuation
Payments to Employee hereunder shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the
end of the term of said employment agreement for which payments of salary and
bonus are payable, or (ii) the date of the final payment of such amounts.

         (c)      Post-Retirement Death Benefit. Unless Employee has elected a
Joint and Survivor Annuity pursuant to subsection (d) below, in the event
Employee should die after his Salary Continuation Payments have commenced, but
before 120 payments have been made to or for his benefit, then the unpaid
balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's Beneficiary. If Employee's Beneficiary dies before a total of 120
monthly payments have been made to Employee and his Beneficiary, then the
unpaid balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's estate.

         (d)      Optional Forms of Salary Continuation Payments.

         If Employee has a Spouse, he may waive the normal form of payment of
Salary Continuation Payments described in Section 2(b) above and elect an
optional form of payment in accordance with the following:

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

         (i)      Such waiver and election must be made by Employee at least
                  six months prior to the date Salary Continuation Payments are
                  to commence to Employee (unless the Company establishes a
                  shorter time period).

         (ii)     Employee may elect from the following optional forms of
                  payment: A monthly annuity for the life of Employee, with a
                  survivor monthly income for the life of Employee's Spouse in
                  an amount equal to either 50% or 100% of the monthly annuity
                  payable during the life of Employee (the "Joint and Survivor
                  Annuity"). If Employee elects the 50% Joint and Survivor
                  Annuity, his Salary Continuation Payments (the monthly
                  annuity) will be reduced to 92.5% of the amount otherwise
                  payable (and his Spouse would receive, after Executive's
                  death, 46.25% of the amount otherwise payable); if he elects
                  the 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity, his Salary Continuation
                  Payments will be reduced to 83.33% of the amount otherwise
                  payable (and his Spouse would continue to receive, after
                  Executive's death, 83.33% of the amount otherwise payable).

         (iii)    If Employee elects the Joint and Survivor Annuity and he or
                  his Spouse shall die or they are divorced before the date
                  Salary Continuation Payments are to commence, his election of
                  the Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be revoked
                  automatically. If Employee elects the Joint and Survivor
                  Annuity and Salary Continuation Payments (the monthly
                  annuity) commence to Employee, his Salary Continuation
                  Payments thereafter shall not be changed by reason of the
                  death of his Spouse during his own lifetime. If the person
                  who was Employee's Spouse at the date Salary Continuation
                  Payments commence to Employee ceases to be his Spouse prior
                  to his date of death, such person shall continue to be
                  entitled to the survivor annuity provided for in clause (ii)
                  above.

         (iv)     If Employee's Spouse is receiving survivor monthly annuity
                  payments and the Spouse dies before a total of 120 monthly
                  payments have been made to Employee and his Spouse, then the
                  unpaid balance of such 120 monthly payments (in the monthly
                  amount the Spouse was receiving) shall continue to be paid by
                  the Company to Employee's estate.

         3.       Early Retirement Benefit.

         (a)      General Eligibility for Benefit. If Employee retires or
becomes Disabled on or after his Early Retirement Date, the Company shall make
Early Retirement Payments to Employee, in accordance with the terms of this
Section 3. For such Early Retirement Payments to be due and payable, Employee
must have given the Company at least five months prior written notice of such
early retirement (unless the Company establishes a shorter time period), and
such notice shall specify Employee's Early Retirement Date; provided, however,
that if Employee is Disabled he shall not be required to give such notice, and
his Early Retirement Payments automatically shall commence as of the later of
(i) the date he becomes Disabled, or (ii) his Earliest Retirement Date.

                                      -6-

Early Retirement Payments will be the respective percentage (set forth below
opposite Employee's age on his Early Retirement Date) of the Salary
Continuation Payments which he would have otherwise received if he was retiring
on his Normal Retirement Date:

                           58                                  72%
                           59                                  76%
                           60                                  80%
                           61                                  84%
                           62                                  88%
                           63                                  92%
                           64                                  96%
</TABLE>

         (c)      Commencement; Preservation. Employee's Early Retirement
Payments shall commence within 30 days after Employee's Early Retirement Date
and shall be made monthly thereafter for and during the lifetime of Employee
(provided, however, that certain payments may continue after Employee's death
pursuant to subsection (e) or (f) below). If the Company terminates Employee's
employment without Cause (or if a Voluntary Termination occurs within six
months prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in
Control) on or before Employee's Earliest Retirement Date, Employee
nevertheless shall remain eligible to elect and receive Early Retirement
Payments upon attainment of his Earliest Retirement Date; provided, however,
that if at the time Early Retirement Payments first become payable to Employee
the term of Employee's employment agreement with the Company has not yet
expired and the Company has an obligation under said employment agreement to
continue to pay amounts of salary and bonus to employee for all or a portion of
the remaining term of said employment agreement, then the commencement of Early
Retirement Payments to Employee shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the
end of the term of said employment agreement for which payments of salary and
bonus are payable, or (ii) the date of the final payment of such amounts; and,
provided further, in this case, the Company shall calculate the percentage
reduction applicable to Employee's salary continuation benefit based on
Employee's age on the date Early Retirement Payments actually commence.

         (d)      Request for Delay of Early Retirement Payments. If, at least
12 months before Employee otherwise would first be entitled to any Early
Retirement Payments, Employee makes an election to defer his receipt of all of
his Early Retirement Payments to a date that is on or before the date he
attains age 65, the Company shall delay the commencement of benefits payable
under this Section 3 and shall calculate the percentage reduction (if any)
applicable to Employee's benefit based on Employee's age as of the date he
elects for his benefits hereunder to commence. Employee may make three such
elections to defer the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

commencement of his Early Retirement Payments, but no such election shall delay
the commencement date beyond his Normal Retirement Date.

         (e)      Post-Retirement Death Benefit. Unless Employee has elected a
Joint and Survivor Annuity pursuant to subsection (f) below, in the event
Employee should die after his Early Retirement Payments have commenced, but
before 120 payments have been made to or for his benefit, then the unpaid
balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's Beneficiary. If Employee's Beneficiary dies before a total of 120
monthly payments have been made to Employee and his Beneficiary, then the
unpaid balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's estate.

         (f)      Optional Forms of Early Retirement Payments. If Employee has
a Spouse, he may waive his normal form of payment of Early Retirement Payments
described in Section 3(c) above and elect an optional Joint and Survivor
Annuity payment in the same manner as provided with respect to a Normal
Retirement Benefit under Section 2(d) above. Employee's Early Retirement
Payments shall first be calculated in accordance with Section 3(b) above and
then the Joint and Survivor Annuity reduction factor in Section 2(d) (i.e.,
92.5% of Early Retirement Payments if Employee elects the 50% Joint and
Survivor Annuity, and 83.33% of Early Retirement Payments if Employee elects
the 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity) shall be applied to such Early Retirement
Payments. The terms and conditions under which the Joint and Survivor Annuity
is payable for early retirement shall be the same as provided in Section 2(d).

         4.       Pre-Retirement Death Benefit. If Employee dies (i) while
actively employed by the Company, (ii) during a Disability, (iii) at any time
after his termination without Cause, or after a Voluntary Termination which
occurred within six months prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of
a Change in Control, or (iv) after his Early Retirement Date but before Salary
Continuation Payments or Early Retirement Payments have commenced (in
accordance with Section 3(d) above), the amount described in clause (i) under
the heading entitled "Death Benefit" in Schedule A shall be paid monthly,
commencing within 30 days after Employee's death, in 120 payments over a
10-year period to Employee's Beneficiary; provided, however, that if Employee's
Beneficiary is his Spouse, his surviving Spouse shall have the option to elect
to receive the amount described in clause (ii) under the heading entitled
"Death Benefit" in Schedule A (in lieu of the payment described in clause (i)
thereof) payable monthly for the life of the Spouse. The election by the
surviving Spouse of the alternative benefit under said clause (ii) shall be
made and documented by the surviving Spouse in such manner as the Company may
specify. If Employee's Beneficiary dies before a total of 120 monthly payments
have been made to the Beneficiary (whether under clause (i) or clause (ii) of
Schedule A), then the unpaid balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be
paid by the Company to Employee's estate. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, once Employee commences receiving Salary
Continuation Payments or Early Retirement Payments pursuant to the terms of
Sections 2 or 3 hereof, no payments shall be due or payable under this Section
4, and the death benefit payable to Employee's Beneficiary under this Agreement
shall be solely as described in Section 2 or 3, as applicable.

         5.       Disability Benefit. If Employee becomes Disabled while
actively employed by the Company or following his termination by the Company
without Cause (or following a Voluntary Termination which occurred within six
months prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in
Control), the Company shall pay to Employee monthly payments, retroactive to
the date Employee's Disabled condition commenced, for a period of up to 60
months, in the amount described under the heading entitled "Disability Benefit"
in Schedule A. Such payments shall

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

commence within 10 days after the expiration of the first six months of
Employee's Disability, with the first payment being the total amount payable
for such six-month period then just ended. If Employee's Disability ends within
such 60-month period, the Company's obligation to make benefit payments under
this Section 5 with respect to the just-ended episode of Disability shall cease
immediately, whether or not Employee returns to work with the Company. If,
after the expiration of such 60-month period of Disability during which such
monthly payments are made, Employee's Disability (as defined in Section
1(h)(ii) hereof) continues, the Company will continue the monthly disability
payments until such Disability terminates. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, no disability payments (or, if disability payments have begun, no
further disability payments) shall be due or payable under this Section 5
(whether during or after the first 60 months of Employee's Disability) for any
period for which Salary Continuation Payments or Early Retirement Payments are
payable under Sections 2 or 3 hereof.

         6.       Other Provisions Relating to Benefits.

         (a)      Beneficiary Designation. Employee shall designate, and from
time to time may redesignate, his Beneficiary by completing the beneficiary
designation form attached hereto as Schedule B, or by notifying the Company in
such other form and manner as the Company may determine. If at the time of
Employee's death, (i) Employee has not designated a Beneficiary, (ii) all
designated Beneficiaries shall have predeceased Employee, or (iii) the
Beneficiary designated by Employee cannot be located by the Company within one
year from the date benefits are to be paid to such person, then, in any of such
events, the Beneficiary of such Employee with respect to any benefits and
amounts that remain payable under this Agreement shall be Employee's surviving
Spouse, if there be one and she can be located within the one year period, and
if not, Employee's estate.

         (b)      Acceleration of Payments. The Company shall not have a
unilateral right to accelerate the payment of any benefits payable under this
Agreement. Employee (or, in the case of Employee's death or mental incapacity,
his Beneficiary or Spouse, as applicable under Section 6(a), or the duly
appointed representative of his person or estate) may request in writing an
acceleration of the payment of any benefits payable under this Agreement,
provided that the Company shall have the sole discretion to determine whether
any such acceleration will be permitted and the Company may establish standards
for permitting such accelerated distributions. In the event such acceleration
is approved by the Company, the amount payable will be the single sum present
value of the payments otherwise due Employee and shall be determined in
accordance with the following:

                  (i)      If, at the time of such acceleration, Employee has
         already commenced receiving Early Retirement Payments or Salary
         Continuation Payments, the amount payable shall be the single sum
         present value of the scheduled Early Retirement Payments or Salary
         Continuation Payments (using the mortality table and interest rate
         assumptions set forth in clause (iv) below), whether such payments are
         payable in the normal form under Section 2(b) or Section 3(c), or as a
         Joint and Survivor Annuity under Section 2(d) or Section 3(f).

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

                  (ii)     If, at the time of such acceleration, Employee has
         not yet commenced receiving Early Retirement Payments or Salary
         Continuation Payments, Employee shall be assumed to have continued his
         employment with the Company and elected to commence his retirement on
         the date ranging from age 55 to age 65 (the "Maximum Benefit Date")
         that will result in his receiving on the acceleration payment date the
         greatest single sum present value benefit (of Early Retirement
         Payments or Salary Continuation Payments, as the case may be) that
         could be paid to Employee (using the mortality table and interest rate
         assumptions set forth in clause (iv) below).

                  (iii)    In addition, in the event Employee has been
         terminated without Cause at any time following a Change in Control (or
         a Voluntary Termination has occurred within six months prior to, or
         within 24 months following, the date of a Change in Control), and at
         the time of such acceleration Employee has not yet commenced receiving
         Early Retirement Payments, the single sum present value benefit
         otherwise payable to Employee under clause (ii) above shall be
         increased by a percentage equal to: (x) the average annual percentage
         increase in the U.S. consumer price index -- all cities -- urban
         consumers, published by the U.S. Department of Labor (or if no longer
         published, such other mutually agreed index) over the preceding 20
         years, multiplied by (y) the number of years (and partial years
         determined on a monthly basis) between the date of such termination
         and the Maximum Benefit Date.

                  (iv)     The calculations under this Section 6(b) shall be
         made by applying the mortality tables prescribed in Code Section
         417(e), and an interest rate that is the lesser of (x) six percent or
         (y) the interest rate used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
         (or its successor organization) as of the first day of the calendar
         year in which the acceleration occurs to value immediate annuities on
         termination of a Code Section 401(a) qualified defined benefit pension
         plan.

         (c)      Independence of Benefits. The benefits payable under this
Agreement shall be independent of, and in addition to, any other benefits or
compensation payable by the Company to Employee, whether as salary, bonus or
otherwise. This Agreement does not involve a reduction in salary or a foregoing
of an increase in future salary by Employee, nor does it in any way affect or
reduce the existing or future compensation or other benefits of Employee.

         (d)      Special Provisions Relating to Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a
Change in Control, the benefit payable to Employee under this Agreement
(whether associated with or following a termination without Cause; a Voluntary
Termination which occurred within six months prior to, or within 24 months
following, the date of the Change in Control; death; Disability; or retirement,
including early retirement -- as used herein, a "triggering event") shall be
based on the greater of (i) the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company
for the four individual calendar years of Employee's highest compensation
during the last eight full calendar years preceding the date of the particular
triggering event or (ii) the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company
for the four individual calendar years of Employee's highest compensation
during the last eight full calendar years preceding the date of the Change in
Control. The intent of this provision is to establish a minimum or "floor"
benefit level for Employee as of the date of the Change in Control. In
addition, in the event

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

Employee is terminated without Cause at any time following a Change in Control
(or a Voluntary Termination occurs within six months prior to, or within 24
months following, the date of a Change in Control), the benefit otherwise
payable to Executive (or his Beneficiary) pursuant to any triggering event
shall be increased by a percentage equal to the aggregate percentage increases
in the U.S. consumer price index - all cities - urban consumers, published by
the U.S. Department of Labor (or if no longer published, such other index
selected by the Company as a fair and reasonable substitute), between the date
of such termination and the actual commencement of benefits.

         7.       Conditions to Payment of Benefits. The benefits payable under
this Agreement to Employee or his Beneficiary shall be conditioned upon
Employee complying with the following provisions of this Section 7. In the
event Employee fails to comply with any such provision, only the future
benefits (payable after the date of such non-compliance) shall be subject to
risk of forfeiture for breach of this Agreement. Prior to terminating benefits
for an actual or alleged violation of subsection (b) or (c) below, the Company
must have first provided Employee with written notice of the violation and
Employee shall have failed to cure or cease such violation within 30 days after
his receipt of such notice.

         (a)      Continuation of Employment. Employee shall be continuously
employed by the Company until Employee's Earliest Retirement Date or his death,
whichever first occurs. During any Authorized Leave of Absence, any period of
Disability and any period following the Company's termination of Employee's
employment without Cause (or a Voluntary Termination by Employee within six
months prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in
Control), Employee will still be considered to be in the continuous employment
of the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

         (b)      Consultation Services. Employee shall render such reasonable
business consulting and advisory services as the Board of Directors of the
Company by written request may call upon him to provide, and as his health (in
the opinion of Employee) may permit, from time to time during the period from
his retirement (meaning, the date Employee begins to receive Salary
Continuation Payments or Early Retirement Payments) to the earlier of the date
of his death or Disability. In this regard, it is understood that (i) such
consulting and advisory services shall not preclude, or be requested in a
fashion which would inhibit, Employee from engaging in other full-time
employment not competitive with the Company nor shall they require Employee to
be active in the Company's day-to-day activities or require Employee to engage
in any substantial travel, (ii) Employee shall perform such services as an
independent contractor, and (iii) Employee shall be reimbursed for all ordinary
and necessary business expenses incurred in performing such services.

         (c)      Conflict of Interest. During his employment with the Company,
Employee shall not engage in any other business enterprise without the prior
written consent of the Company. (The foregoing shall not be construed to
preclude Employee from serving on the Board of Directors of any other company
or entity not competitive with the Company or from performing services for
civic, social, religious or charitable purposes.) After his retirement from the
Company or after his Disability and while he is receiving benefits hereunder,
he shall not, without the Company's prior written consent, engage in any
business activity which is in competition with the Company.

                                     -12-
<PAGE>

         (d)      Suicide. Employee shall not commit suicide within two years
after the original effective date of the Prior Agreement, whether or not
Employee is then sane or insane.

         8.       Nature of Obligations.

         (a)      Currently Unfunded. The Company's obligations under this
Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured promises to pay the benefits provided
for hereunder. Except as provided in subsection (b) hereof, in any other
agreement between the Company and Employee, or by the terms of any plan
sponsored by the Company, the Company shall not be obligated to fund its
obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that even if not otherwise
required to do so, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to fund its
obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part.

         (b)      Funding Upon a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, immediately upon and coincident with
a Change in Control, the Company shall contribute to an irrevocable grantor
trust (generally referred to as a "rabbi trust"), for which an independent bank
or financial institution serves as the trustee, an amount of cash equal to the
current single sum present value of the Company's obligation hereunder to
Employee, assuming Employee were to remain actively employed until age 65. Such
single sum present value amount shall be measured as of the date the Change in
Control occurs and shall be determined by applying the mortality tables
prescribed in Code Section 417(e) and an interest rate that is the lesser of
(i) six percent or (ii) the interest rate used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (or its successor organization) as of the first day of the calendar
year in which the Change in Control occurs to value immediate annuities on
termination of a Code Section 401(a) qualified defined benefit pension plan.
The terms of such rabbi trust shall require the trustee thereof to make
payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall prohibit the
trustee from permitting a reversion to the Company of any trust assets until
the Company's obligations under this Agreement shall be satisfied in full. The
terms of the trust also shall prohibit the investment in any equity interests
of the Company with any cash (or investment earnings attributable thereto)
contributed with respect to the obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding this
mandatory funding of the rabbi trust, if the assets of the trust are
insufficient or the trustee for any reason is unable or unwilling to make the
payments required hereunder, the Company shall make such payments.

         (c)      Investments. It is understood that the Company may make
investments so that it will have segregated assets to help pay its obligations
hereunder; and, in this regard, Employee hereby agrees to submit to appropriate
medical examinations, supply such information and execute such documents, as
the Company may reasonably require with respect to such investments. It is
understood and agreed that Employee shall have no beneficial or other interest
in any such investment, which, subject to Section 8(a) and (b) above, at all
times shall remain a part of the Company's general assets accessible to its
creditors. Accordingly, subject to Section 8(a) and (b) above, the rights of
Employee, Employee's Beneficiary or any other person claiming through Employee
under this Agreement shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of
the Company. Employee, his Beneficiary or any other person claiming through
Employee, shall only have the right to receive from the Company those payments
which are specified under this Agreement. No asset used or acquired by the
Company in connection with its obligations and liabilities hereunder shall

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of Employee or his
Beneficiary (except as provided in Section 8(a) and (b) above), nor shall any
such asset be considered as security for the performance of the obligations and
liabilities of the Company hereunder.

         9.       Employment Rights. This Agreement shall not itself be deemed
to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and Employee, and
shall not create any rights in Employee to continue in the Company's employ for
any specific period of time or any other rights in Employee or obligations on
the part of the Company, except as are expressly set forth herein. No provision
hereof shall restrict the right of the Company to discharge Employee or
restrict the right of Employee to terminate his employment with the Company.

         10.      Nonalienation of Benefits. No right or benefit under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit
hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities or torts of Employee or his Beneficiary. If Employee or his
Beneficiary shall become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, then such
right or benefit shall, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, cease and terminate; and in such event, the Company may hold or apply
same or any part thereof for the benefit of Employee or his Beneficiary, his
spouse, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in
such proportion as the Board of Directors of the Company may deem proper under
the then existing circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall have the right, exercisable solely in its discretion, to offset against
any benefits payable hereunder, at the time same become payable to Employee (or
to his Beneficiary in the event of his death), any then existing indebtedness
of any kind of Employee to the Company, whether or not such indebtedness is
otherwise deemed due and payable. This right of offset shall be void and of no
effect in the event of a Change in Control, in which event the Company shall
pay to Employee all of the benefits due and owing under this Agreement, but
without prejudice to the right of the Company to take separate action to
collect payment of any indebtedness owed by Employee to the Company.

         11.      Agreement Binding on Successors. This Agreement is solely
between the Company and Employee, and Employee and his Beneficiary shall have
recourse only against the Company and its successors and assigns for
enforcement hereof (together with rights against and with respect to the "rabbi
trust", if established pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof). This Agreement will be
binding upon Employee's Beneficiary, heirs and personal representatives and
upon the successors and assigns of the Company. Any person or business entity
succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Company by stock
purchase, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, shall be
bound by and shall adopt and assume this Agreement (which assumption shall not
negate the obligation of the Company to immediately fund its obligations
hereunder in the event of a Change in Control, as provided in Section 8(b)
hereof), and the Company shall obtain the express assumption of this Agreement
by any such successor.

         12.      Claims Manager and Claims Procedure.

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

         (a)      Claims Procedure. Benefits shall be paid in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement. The Claims Manager shall be the Company's
representative for purposes of making all determinations as to the right of
Employee or any other person to a benefit under this Agreement, and any
requests for such a benefit must be made in a writing mailed or delivered to
the Claims Manager. If such a request is wholly or partially denied, notice of
the decision shall be mailed to the claiming person no later than 45 days after
the receipt of the request by the Claims Manager. Such a notice of denial shall
include the following:

                  (i)      The specific reason or reasons for such denial;

                  (ii)     The specific reference to pertinent provisions of
         this Agreement on which the denial is based;

                  (iii)    A description of any additional material or
         information necessary for the claimant to submit to perfect the claim
         and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;
         and

                  (iv)     A description of this Agreement's claim review
         procedure.

         (b)      Claim Review Procedure. The claim review procedure is
available upon written request by the claimant to the Claims Manager within
60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the
claim, and includes the right to examine pertinent documents and Company data
and submit issues and comments in writing to the Claims Manager. The decision
on review will be in writing and written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant, will be made within 30 days after receipt of the
request for review (unless special circumstances warrant an extension of time
not to exceed an additional 30 days), and will include specific reasons for the
decision with references to the specific Agreement provisions on which the
decision is based.

         13.      General Provisions.

         (a)      Notices. Except as may be otherwise specified herein, all
notices, consents and other communications required or authorized to be given

in person or by facsimile transmission, (ii) upon the earlier of actual receipt
or the expiration of two business days after sending by express courier (such
as UPS or Federal Express), and (iii) upon the earlier of actual receipt or the
expiration of seven days after mailing if sent by registered or certified

                                   SCHEDULE A

                          SCHEDULE OF BENEFIT AMOUNTS

              (as amended and restated effective October 1, 2002)

                          Salary Continuation Payments

         A monthly payment equivalent to the amount which is 1/12th of 50% of
the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company for the four individual
calendar years of Employee's highest compensation during the last eight full
calendar years of Employee's employment with the Company ending on or prior to
the effective date of Employee's retirement. (For the avoidance of doubt, in
the event the Company terminates Employee's employment without Cause, the
benefit payable hereunder shall be based on the four years of highest
compensation during the last eight full calendar years preceding the date of
termination.)

                                 Death Benefit

         (i)      A monthly payment equivalent to the amount which is 1/12th of
50% of the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company for the four
individual calendar years of Employee's highest compensation during the last
eight full calendar years of Employee's employment with the Company ending on
or prior to the date of Employee's death.

         (ii)     A monthly payment equivalent to the amount which is 1/12th of
25% of the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company for the four
individual calendar years of Employee's highest compensation during the last
eight full calendar years of Employee's employment with the Company ending on
or prior to Employee's death, provided that the 25% amount shall be increased
by 1.67% for each complete 12-month period Employee worked after age 55 (or is
deemed to be actively employed pursuant to this Agreement) up to a maximum
amount of 41.67% of such final average Annual Compensation if Employee works
until age 65.

         (For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Company terminates
Employee's employment without Cause prior to Employee's death, the benefit
payable hereunder, whether under clause (i) or clause (ii) above, shall be
based on the four years of highest compensation during the last eight full
calendar years preceding the date of termination.)

                           Monthly Disability Benefit

         Employee's monthly disability payment shall be that percentage of his
compensation at the time of commencement of Disability which, combined with all
other Company-sponsored disability security payments (excluding Social
Security) then being paid to Employee (or to which he is entitled), equals
662/3% of the compensation payable by the Company to Employee at the
commencement of such Disability. For purposes of this section, "compensation"
shall have the same meaning as in the Company's disability insurance policy
covering Employee at the time his Disability commenced (provided that such

<PAGE>

policy definition includes Employee's full base salary and either (i) the
current year or prior year bonus paid to Employee or (ii) an average of prior
years' bonuses paid to Employee), and if no such policy is then in effect or in
the event the Company has terminated Employee's employment without Cause prior
to such Disability, shall be construed to be average Annual Compensation as
described for the benefits above (i.e., average of four years of highest
compensation during the last eight full calendar years of employment).

                               Change in Control

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the
event of a Change in Control, the benefits described in this Schedule A are
subject to certain protections and enhancements as described in Sections 6(b),
6(d), 8(b) and 10 of the Agreement.

<PAGE>

         2.       Normal Retirement Benefit.

         (a)      Amount of Salary Continuation Payments. If Employee retires or
becomes Disabled on or after his Normal Retirement Date, the Company shall make
Salary Continuation Payments to Employee in the amount described under the
heading entitled "Salary Continuation Payments" in Schedule A.

         (b)      Commencement; Preservation. Employee's Salary Continuation
Payments shall commence within 30 days after Employee's retirement and shall be
made monthly thereafter for and during the lifetime of Employee (provided,
however, that certain payments may continue after Employee's death pursuant to
subsection (c) or (d) below). If the Company terminates Employee's employment
without Cause (or if a Voluntary Termination occurs within six months prior to,
or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in Control) before
Employee's Normal Retirement Date, Employee nevertheless shall remain eligible
to receive Salary Continuation Payments as described in Schedule A upon
attainment of his Normal Retirement Date; provided, however, that if at the time
Salary Continuation Payments first become payable to Employee the term of
Employee's employment agreement with the Company has not yet expired and the
Company has an obligation under said employment agreement to continue to pay
amounts of salary and bonus to employee for all or a portion of the remaining
term of said employment agreement, then the commencement of Salary Continuation
Payments to Employee hereunder shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the end
of the term of said employment agreement for which payments of salary and bonus
are payable, or (ii) the date of the final payment of such amounts.

         (c)      Post-Retirement Death Benefit. Unless Employee has elected a
Joint and Survivor Annuity pursuant to subsection (d) below, in the event
Employee should die after his Salary Continuation Payments have commenced, but
before 120 payments have been made to or for his benefit, then the unpaid
balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's Beneficiary. If Employee's Beneficiary dies before a total of 120
monthly payments have been made to Employee and his Beneficiary, then the unpaid
balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's estate.

         (d)      Optional Forms of Salary Continuation Payments.

         If Employee has a Spouse, he may waive the normal form of payment of
Salary Continuation Payments described in Section 2(b) above and elect an
optional form of payment in accordance with the following:

         (i)      Such waiver and election must be made by Employee at least six
                  months prior to the date Salary Continuation Payments are to
                  commence to Employee (unless the Company establishes a shorter
                  time period).

         (ii)     Employee may elect from the following optional forms of
                  payment: A monthly annuity for the life of Employee, with a
                  survivor monthly income for the life of Employee's Spouse in
                  an amount equal to either 50% or 100% of the monthly

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>

                  annuity payable during the life of Employee (the "Joint and
                  Survivor Annuity"). If Employee elects the 50% Joint and
                  Survivor Annuity, his Salary Continuation Payments (the
                  monthly annuity) will be reduced to 92.5% of the amount
                  otherwise payable (and his Spouse would receive, after
                  Executive's death, 46.25% of the amount otherwise payable); if
                  he elects the 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity, his Salary
                  Continuation Payments will be reduced to 83.33% of the amount
                  otherwise payable (and his Spouse would continue to receive,
                  after Executive's death, 83.33% of the amount otherwise
                  payable).

         (iii)    If Employee elects the Joint and Survivor Annuity and he or
                  his Spouse shall die or they are divorced before the date
                  Salary Continuation Payments are to commence, his election of
                  the Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be revoked automatically.
                  If Employee elects the Joint and Survivor Annuity and Salary
                  Continuation Payments (the monthly annuity) commence to
                  Employee, his Salary Continuation Payments thereafter shall
                  not be changed by reason of the death of his Spouse during his
                  own lifetime. If the person who was Employee's Spouse at the
                  date Salary Continuation Payments commence to Employee ceases
                  to be his Spouse prior to his date of death, such person shall
                  continue to be entitled to the survivor annuity provided for
                  in clause (ii) above.

         (iv)     If Employee's Spouse is receiving survivor monthly annuity
                  payments and the Spouse dies before a total of 120 monthly
                  payments have been made to Employee and his Spouse, then the
                  unpaid balance of such 120 monthly payments (in the monthly
                  amount the Spouse was receiving) shall continue to be paid by
                  the Company to Employee's estate.

         3.       Early Retirement Benefit.

         (a)      General Eligibility for Benefit. If Employee retires or
becomes Disabled on or after his Early Retirement Date, the Company shall make
Early Retirement Payments to Employee, in accordance with the terms of this
Section 3. For such Early Retirement Payments to be due and payable, Employee
must have given the Company at least five months prior written notice of such
early retirement (unless the Company establishes a shorter time period), and
such notice shall specify Employee's Early Retirement Date; provided, however,
that if Employee is Disabled he shall not be required to give such notice, and
his Early Retirement Payments automatically shall commence as of the later of
(i) the date he becomes Disabled, or (ii) his Earliest Retirement Date.

         (b)      Amount of Early Retirement Payments. The amount of Employee's
Early Retirement Payments will be the respective percentage (set forth below
opposite Employee's age on his Early Retirement Date) of the Salary Continuation
Payments which he would have otherwise received if he was retiring on his Normal
Retirement Date:

</TABLE>

         (c)      Commencement; Preservation. Employee's Early Retirement
Payments shall commence within 30 days after Employee's Early Retirement Date
and shall be made monthly thereafter for and during the lifetime of Employee
(provided, however, that certain payments may continue after Employee's death
pursuant to subsection (e) or (f) below). If the Company terminates Employee's
employment without Cause (or if a Voluntary Termination occurs within six months
prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in Control) on or
before Employee's Earliest Retirement Date, Employee nevertheless shall remain
eligible to elect and receive Early Retirement Payments upon attainment of his
Earliest Retirement Date; provided, however, that if at the time Early
Retirement Payments first become payable to Employee the term of Employee's
employment agreement with the Company has not yet expired and the Company has an
obligation under said employment agreement to continue to pay amounts of salary
and bonus to employee for all or a portion of the remaining term of said
employment agreement, then the commencement of Early Retirement Payments to
Employee shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the end of the term of said
employment agreement for which payments of salary and bonus are payable, or (ii)
the date of the final payment of such amounts; and, provided further, in this
case, the Company shall calculate the percentage reduction applicable to
Employee's salary continuation benefit based on Employee's age on the date Early
Retirement Payments actually commence.

         (d)      Request for Delay of Early Retirement Payments. If, at least
12 months before Employee otherwise would first be entitled to any Early
Retirement Payments, Employee makes an election to defer his receipt of all of
his Early Retirement Payments to a date that is on or before the date he attains
age 65, the Company shall delay the commencement of benefits payable under this
Section 3 and shall calculate the percentage reduction (if any) applicable to
Employee's benefit based on Employee's age as of the date he elects for his
benefits hereunder to commence. Employee may make three such elections to defer
the commencement of his Early Retirement Payments.

         (e)      Post-Retirement Death Benefit. Unless Employee has elected a
Joint and Survivor Annuity pursuant to subsection (f) below, in the event
Employee should die after his Early Retirement Payments have commenced, but
before 120 payments have been made to or for his benefit, then the unpaid
balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

Employee's Beneficiary. If Employee's Beneficiary dies before a total of 120
monthly payments have been made to Employee and his Beneficiary, then the unpaid
balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's estate.

         (f)      Optional Forms of Early Retirement Payments. If Employee has a
Spouse, he may waive his normal form of payment of Early Retirement Payments
described in Section 3(c) above and elect an optional Joint and Survivor Annuity
payment in the same manner as provided with respect to a Normal Retirement
Benefit under Section 2(d) above. Employee's Early Retirement Payments shall
first be calculated in accordance with Section 3(b) above and then the Joint and
Survivor Annuity reduction factor in Section 2(d) (i.e., 92.5% of Early
Retirement Payments if Employee elects the 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity, and
83.33% of Early Retirement Payments if Employee elects the 100% Joint and
Survivor Annuity) shall be applied to such Early Retirement Payments. The terms
and conditions under which the Joint and Survivor Annuity is payable for early
retirement shall be the same as provided in Section 2(d).

         4.       Pre-Retirement Death Benefit. If Employee dies (i) while
actively employed by the Company, (ii) during a Disability, (iii) at any time
after his termination without Cause, or after a Voluntary Termination which
occurred within six months prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of
a Change in Control, or (iv) after his Early Retirement Date but before Salary
Continuation Payments or Early Retirement Payments have commenced (in accordance
with Section 3(d) above), the amount described in clause (i) under the heading
entitled "Death Benefit" in Schedule A shall be paid monthly, commencing within
30 days after Employee's death, in 120 payments over a 10-year period to
Employee's Beneficiary; provided, however, that if Employee's Beneficiary is his
Spouse, his surviving Spouse shall have the option to elect to receive the
amount described in clause (ii) under the heading entitled "Death Benefit" in
Schedule A (in lieu of the payment described in clause (i) thereof) payable
monthly for the life of the Spouse. The election by the surviving Spouse of the
alternative benefit under said clause (ii) shall be made and documented by the
surviving Spouse in such manner as the Company may specify. If Employee's
Beneficiary dies before a total of 120 monthly payments have been made to the
Beneficiary (whether under clause (i) or clause (ii) of Schedule A), then the
unpaid balance of such 120 payments shall continue to be paid by the Company to
Employee's estate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
once Employee commences receiving Salary Continuation Payments or Early
Retirement Payments pursuant to the terms of Sections 2 or 3 hereof, no payments
shall be due or payable under this Section 4, and the death benefit payable to
Employee's Beneficiary under this Agreement shall be solely as described in
Section 2 or 3, as applicable.

         5.       Disability Benefit. If Employee becomes Disabled while
actively employed by the Company or following his termination by the Company
without Cause (or following a Voluntary Termination which occurred within six
months prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in
Control), the Company shall pay to Employee monthly payments, retroactive to the
date Employee's Disabled condition commenced, for a period of up to 60 months,
in the amount described under the heading entitled "Disability Benefit" in
Schedule A. Such payments shall commence within 10 days after the expiration of
the first six months of Employee's Disability, with the first payment being the
total amount payable for such six-month period then just ended. If

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>

Employee's Disability ends within such 60-month period, the Company's obligation
to make benefit payments under this Section 5 with respect to the just-ended
episode of Disability shall cease immediately, whether or not Employee returns
to work with the Company. If, after the expiration of such 60-month period of
Disability during which such monthly payments are made, Employee's Disability
(as defined in Section 1(h)(ii) hereof) continues, the Company will continue the
monthly disability payments until such Disability terminates. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no disability payments (or, if disability
payments have begun, no further disability payments) shall be due or payable
under this Section 5 (whether during or after the first 60 months of Employee's
Disability) for any period for which Salary Continuation Payments or Early
Retirement Payments are payable under Sections 2 or 3 hereof.

         6.       Other Provisions Relating to Benefits.

         (a)      Beneficiary Designation. Employee shall designate, and from
time to time may redesignate, his Beneficiary by completing the beneficiary
designation form attached hereto as Schedule B, or by notifying the Company in
such other form and manner as the Company may determine. If at the time of
Employee's death, (i) Employee has not designated a Beneficiary, (ii) all
designated Beneficiaries shall have predeceased Employee, or (iii) the
Beneficiary designated by Employee cannot be located by the Company within one
year from the date benefits are to be paid to such person, then, in any of such
events, the Beneficiary of such Employee with respect to any benefits and
amounts that remain payable under this Agreement shall be Employee's surviving
Spouse, if there be one and she can be located within the one year period, and
if not, Employee's estate.

         (b)      Acceleration of Payments. The Company shall not have a
unilateral right to accelerate the payment of any benefits payable under this
Agreement. Employee (or, in the case of Employee's death or mental incapacity,
his Beneficiary or Spouse, as applicable under Section 6(a), or the duly
appointed representative of his person or estate) may request in writing an
acceleration of the payment of any benefits payable under this Agreement,
provided that the Company shall have the sole discretion to determine whether
any such acceleration will be permitted and the Company may establish standards
for permitting such accelerated distributions. In the event such acceleration is
approved by the Company, the amount payable will be the single sum present value
of the payments otherwise due Employee and shall be determined in accordance
with the following:

                  (i)      If, at the time of such acceleration, Employee has
         already commenced receiving Early Retirement Payments or Salary
         Continuation Payments, the amount payable shall be the single sum
         present value of the scheduled Early Retirement Payments or Salary
         Continuation Payments (using the mortality table and interest rate
         assumptions set forth in clause (iv) below), whether such payments are
         payable in the normal form under Section 2(b) or Section 3(c), or as a
         Joint and Survivor Annuity under Section 2(d) or Section 3(f).

                  (ii)     If, at the time of such acceleration, Employee has
         not yet commenced receiving Early Retirement Payments or Salary
         Continuation Payments, Employee shall be assumed to have continued his
         employment with the Company and elected to commence his

                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>

         retirement on the date ranging from age 55 to age 65 (the "Maximum
         Benefit Date") that will result in his receiving on the acceleration
         payment date the greatest single sum present value benefit (of Early
         Retirement Payments or Salary Continuation Payments, as the case may
         be) that could be paid to Employee (using the mortality table and
         interest rate assumptions set forth in clause (iv) below).

                  (iii)    In addition, in the event Employee has been
         terminated without Cause at any time following a Change in Control (or
         a Voluntary Termination has occurred within six months prior to, or
         within 24 months following, the date of a Change in Control), and at
         the time of such acceleration Employee has not yet commenced receiving
         Early Retirement Payments, the single sum present value benefit
         otherwise payable to Employee under clause (ii) above shall be
         increased by a percentage equal to: (x) the average annual percentage
         increase in the U.S. consumer price index -- all cities -- urban
         consumers, published by the U.S. Department of Labor (or if no longer
         published, such other mutually agreed index) over the preceding 20
         years, multiplied by (y) the number of years (and partial years
         determined on a monthly basis) between the date of such termination and
         the Maximum Benefit Date.

                  (iv)     The calculations under this Section 6(b) shall be
         made by applying the mortality tables prescribed in Code Section
         417(e), and an interest rate that is the lesser of (x) six percent or
         (y) the interest rate used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
         (or its successor organization) as of the first day of the calendar
         year in which the acceleration occurs to value immediate annuities on
         termination of a Code Section 401(a) qualified defined benefit pension
         plan.

         (c)      Independence of Benefits. The benefits payable under this
Agreement shall be independent of, and in addition to, any other benefits or
compensation payable by the Company to Employee, whether as salary, bonus or
otherwise. This Agreement does not involve a reduction in salary or a foregoing
of an increase in future salary by Employee, nor does it in any way affect or
reduce the existing or future compensation or other benefits of Employee.

         7.       Conditions to Payment of Benefits. The benefits payable under
this Agreement to Employee or his Beneficiary shall be conditioned upon Employee
complying with the following provisions of this Section 7. In the event Employee
fails to comply with any such provision, only the future benefits (payable after
the date of such non-compliance) shall be subject to risk of forfeiture for
breach of this Agreement. Prior to terminating benefits for an actual or alleged
violation of subsection (b) or (c) below, the Company must have first provided
Employee with written notice of the violation and Employee shall have failed to
cure or cease such violation within 30 days after his receipt of such notice.

         (a)      Continuation of Employment. Employee shall be continuously
employed by the Company until Employee's Earliest Retirement Date or his death,
whichever first occurs. During any Authorized Leave of Absence, any period of
Disability and any period following the Company's termination of Employee's
employment without Cause (or a Voluntary Termination by Employee within six
months prior to, or within 24 months following, the date of a Change in
Control),

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>

Employee will still be considered to be in the continuous employment of the
Company for purposes of this Agreement.

         (b)      Consultation Services. Employee shall render such reasonable
business consulting and advisory services as the Board of Directors of the
Company by written request may call upon him to provide, and as his health (in
the opinion of Employee) may permit, from time to time during the period from
his retirement (meaning, the date Employee begins to receive Salary Continuation
Payments or Early Retirement Payments) to the earlier of the date of his death
or Disability. In this regard, it is understood that (i) such consulting and
advisory services shall not preclude, or be requested in a fashion which would
inhibit, Employee from engaging in other full-time employment not competitive
with the Company nor shall they require Employee to be active in the Company's
day-to-day activities or require Employee to engage in any substantial travel,
(ii) Employee shall perform such services as an independent contractor, and
(iii) Employee shall be reimbursed for all ordinary and necessary business
expenses incurred in performing such services.

         (c)      Conflict of Interest. During his employment with the Company,
Employee shall not engage in any other business enterprise without the prior
written consent of the Company. (The foregoing shall not be construed to
preclude Employee from serving on the Board of Directors of any other company or
entity not competitive with the Company or from performing services for civic,
social, religious or charitable purposes.) After his retirement from the Company
or after his Disability and while he is receiving benefits hereunder, he shall
not, without the Company's prior written consent, engage in any business
activity which is in competition with the Company.

         (d)      Suicide. Employee shall not commit suicide within two years
after the original effective date of the Prior Agreement, whether or not
Employee is then sane or insane.

         8.       Nature of Obligations.

         (a)      Currently Unfunded. The Company's obligations under this
Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured promises to pay the benefits provided
for hereunder. Except as provided in subsection (b) hereof, in any other
agreement between the Company and Employee, or by the terms of any plan
sponsored by the Company, the Company shall not be obligated to fund its
obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that even if not otherwise
required to do so, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to fund its
obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part.

         (b)      Funding Upon a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, immediately upon and coincident with a
Change in Control, the Company shall contribute to an irrevocable grantor trust
(generally referred to as a "rabbi trust"), for which an independent bank or
financial institution serves as the trustee, an amount of cash equal to the
current single sum present value of the Company's obligation hereunder to
Employee, assuming Employee were to remain actively employed until age 65. Such
single sum present value amount shall be measured as of the date the Change in
Control occurs and shall be determined by applying the mortality tables
prescribed in Code Section 417(e) and an interest rate that is the lesser of (i)
six

                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>

percent or (ii) the interest rate used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (or its successor organization) as of the first day of the calendar
year in which the Change in Control occurs to value immediate annuities on
termination of a Code Section 401(a) qualified defined benefit pension plan. The
terms of such rabbi trust shall require the trustee thereof to make payments in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall prohibit the trustee from
permitting a reversion to the Company of any trust assets until the Company's
obligations under this Agreement shall be satisfied in full. The terms of the
trust also shall prohibit the investment in any equity interests of the Company
with any cash (or investment earnings attributable thereto) contributed with
respect to the obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding this mandatory funding of
the rabbi trust, if the assets of the trust are insufficient or the trustee for
any reason is unable or unwilling to make the payments required hereunder, the
Company shall make such payments.

         (c)      Investments. It is understood that the Company may make
investments so that it will have segregated assets to help pay its obligations
hereunder; and, in this regard, Employee hereby agrees to submit to appropriate
medical examinations, supply such information and execute such documents, as the
Company may reasonably require with respect to such investments. It is
understood and agreed that Employee shall have no beneficial or other interest
in any such investment, which, subject to Section 8(a) and (b) above, at all
times shall remain a part of the Company's general assets accessible to its
creditors. Accordingly, subject to Section 8(a) and (b) above, the rights of
Employee, Employee's Beneficiary or any other person claiming through Employee
under this Agreement shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of
the Company. Employee, his Beneficiary or any other person claiming through
Employee, shall only have the right to receive from the Company those payments
which are specified under this Agreement. No asset used or acquired by the
Company in connection with its obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be
deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of Employee or his Beneficiary
(except as provided in Section 8(a) and (b) above), nor shall any such asset be
considered as security for the performance of the obligations and liabilities of
the Company hereunder.

         9.       Employment Rights. This Agreement shall not itself be deemed
to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and Employee, and
shall not create any rights in Employee to continue in the Company's employ for
any specific period of time or any other rights in Employee or obligations on
the part of the Company, except as are expressly set forth herein. No provision
hereof shall restrict the right of the Company to discharge Employee or restrict
the right of Employee to terminate his employment with the Company.

         10.      Nonalienation of Benefits. No right or benefit under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit
hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities or torts of Employee or his Beneficiary. If Employee or his
Beneficiary shall become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, then such
right or benefit shall, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, cease and terminate; and in such event, the Company may hold or apply
same or any part

                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>

thereof for the benefit of Employee or his Beneficiary, his spouse, children or
other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such proportion as the
Board of Directors of the Company may deem proper under the then existing
circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right,
exercisable solely in its discretion, to offset against any benefits payable
hereunder, at the time same become payable to Employee (or to his Beneficiary in
the event of his death), any then existing indebtedness of any kind of Employee
to the Company, whether or not such indebtedness is otherwise deemed due and
payable. This right of offset shall be void and of no effect in the event of a
Change in Control, in which event the Company shall pay to Employee all of the
benefits due and owing under this Agreement, but without prejudice to the right
of the Company to take separate action to collect payment of any indebtedness
owed by Employee to the Company.

         11.      Agreement Binding on Successors. This Agreement is solely
between the Company and Employee, and Employee and his Beneficiary shall have
recourse only against the Company and its successors and assigns for enforcement
hereof (together with rights against and with respect to the "rabbi trust", if
established pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof). This Agreement will be binding
upon Employee's Beneficiary, heirs and personal representatives and upon the
successors and assigns of the Company. Any person or business entity succeeding
to all or substantially all of the business of the Company by stock purchase,
merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, shall be bound by and
shall adopt and assume this Agreement (which assumption shall not negate the
obligation of the Company to immediately fund its obligations hereunder in the
event of a Change in Control, as provided in Section 8(b) hereof), and the
Company shall obtain the express assumption of this Agreement by any such
successor.

         12.      Claims Manager and Claims Procedure.

         (a)      Claims Procedure. Benefits shall be paid in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement. The Claims Manager shall be the Company's
representative for purposes of making all determinations as to the right of
Employee or any other person to a benefit under this Agreement, and any requests
for such a benefit must be made in a writing mailed or delivered to the Claims
Manager. If such a request is wholly or partially denied, notice of the decision
shall be mailed to the claiming person no later than 45 days after the receipt
of the request by the Claims Manager. Such a notice of denial shall include the
following:

                  (i)      The specific reason or reasons for such denial;

                  (ii)     The specific reference to pertinent provisions of
this Agreement on which the denial is based;

                  (iii)    A description of any additional material or
information necessary for the claimant to submit to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

                  (iv)     A description of this Agreement's claim review
procedure.

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>

         (b)      Claim Review Procedure. The claim review procedure is
available upon written request by the claimant to the Claims Manager within 60
days after receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim,
and includes the right to examine pertinent documents and Company data and
submit issues and comments in writing to the Claims Manager. The decision on
review will be in writing and written in a manner calculated to be understood by
the claimant, will be made within 30 days after receipt of the request for
review (unless special circumstances warrant an extension of time not to exceed
an additional 30 days), and will include specific reasons for the decision with
references to the specific Agreement provisions on which the decision is based.

         13.      General Provisions.

         (a)      Notices. Except as may be otherwise specified herein, all

                                   SCHEDULE A

                           SCHEDULE OF BENEFIT AMOUNTS

               (as amended and restated effective October 1, 2002)

                          Salary Continuation Payments

         A monthly payment equivalent to the amount which is 1/12th of 50% of
the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company for the three individual
calendar years of Employee's highest compensation during the last five full
calendar years of Employee's employment with the Company ending on December 31,
2001.

                                  Death Benefit

         (i)      A monthly payment equivalent to the amount which is 1/12th of
50% of the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company for the three
individual calendar years of Employee's highest compensation during the last
five full calendar years of Employee's employment with the Company ending on
December 31, 2001.

         (ii)     A monthly payment equivalent to the amount which is 1/12th of
41.67% of the average Annual Compensation paid by the Company for the three
individual calendar years of Employee's highest compensation during the last
five full calendar years of Employee's employment with the Company ending on
December 31, 2001.

                           Monthly Disability Benefit

         Employee's monthly disability payment shall be that percentage of his
compensation at the time of commencement of Disability which, combined with all
other Company-sponsored disability security payments (excluding Social Security)
then being paid to Employee (or to which he is entitled), equals 66 2/3% of the
compensation payable by the Company to Employee at the commencement of such
Disability. For purposes of this section, "compensation" shall have the same
meaning as in the Company's disability insurance policy covering Employee at the
time his Disability commenced, and if no such policy is then in effect or in the
event the Company has terminated Employee's employment without Cause prior to
such Disability, shall be construed to be average Annual Compensation as
described for the benefits above (i.e., average of three years of highest
compensation during the last five full calendar years of employment through
December 31, 2001).

                                Change in Control

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event
of a Change in Control, the benefits described in this Schedule A are subject to
certain protections and enhancements as described in Sections 6(b), 8(b) and 10
of the Agreement.
