In order to provide Joe Hensley (JH) and Randy Kurtz (RK) incentive to cause
AVIDYN, Inc. to reach certain financial goals set forth in the attached
document, the following quarterly bonus plan is being adopted:

         1.       For the first quarter of calendar year 2002, if the net
                  operating loss for the first three months of the year equals
                  or is less than $(322,762), JH will receive a bonus of $5,000
                  and RK will receive a bonus of $2,000. If the net operating
                  loss is greater than $(322,762), no bonuses will be paid for
                  the first quarter of calendar year 2002.

         2.       For the second quarter of calendar year 2002, if net operating
                  loss for the second three months of the year equals or is less
                  than $(150.939), JH will receive a bonus of $5,000 and RK will
                  receive a bonus of $2,000. If the net operating loss is more
                  than $(150,939), no bonuses will be paid for the second
                  quarter of calendar year 2002.

         3.       For the third quarter of calendar year 2002, if net operating
                  income for the third three months of the year equals or

                  will receive a bonus of $4,000. If net operating income for
                  the third three months of the year does not equal or exceed
                  $66,037, no bonuses will be paid for the third quarter of
                  calendar year 2002.

         4.       For the fourth quarter of calendar year 2002, if net operating

                  of calendar year.

Start on PCN 710.04.01                                             EXHIBIT 10.4

                               ____________, 2001

Dear _____________:

     GAINSCO, INC. (the "Company") considers it essential to the best interests
of its shareholders to foster the continuous employment of key management
personnel. In this connection, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board") recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations,
the possibility of a change in control of the Company may exist and that such
possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among
management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel
to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.

     The Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to
reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of
the management of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries
(collectively, the "GAINSCO Companies"), including yourself, to their assigned
duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances
arising from the possibility of a future change in control of the Company,
although no such change is now contemplated.

     In order to induce you to remain in the employ of one or more of the
GAINSCO Companies, and in consideration of your agreement set forth in
Subsection 2(ii) hereof, _____________________ ("Employer") agrees that you
shall receive the severance benefits set forth in this letter agreement (this
"Agreement") in the event your employment with all of the GAINSCO Companies is
terminated subsequent to a "Change in Control of the Company" (as defined in
Section 2 hereof) under the circumstances described below.

     1.   Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date first
set forth above and shall continue in effect through December 31, 2002;
provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2003 and each January
thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one
additional year unless, not later than the September 30 preceding each such
January 1, the Company shall have given notice that it does not wish to extend
this Agreement; provided, further, if a Change in Control of the Company shall
have occurred during the original or extended term of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall continue in effect for the later of (i) the original or
extended term or (ii) the end of the Post Transaction Period. The "Post
Transaction Period" means a period of twenty-four (24) months beyond the

<PAGE>

date on which such Change in Control of the Company occurred. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the term of this Agreement extend beyond the
date that you attain sixty-five years of age.

     2.  Change in Control.

          (i)  No benefits shall be payable hereunder unless there shall have
been a Change in Control of the Company, as defined below. For purposes of this
Agreement, a "Change in Control of the Company" shall be deemed to have
occurred if, after the date of this Agreement,

               (A)  any "Person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
         14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
         "Exchange Act")) (other than an Approved Person (as defined below))
         becomes the "Beneficial Owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
         Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of a majority or more of the
         then outstanding Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, of the
         Company ("Common Stock") (such Person, an "Acquiring Person"); or

               (B)  during any period of two consecutive years (not including
         any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who
         at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new
         director (other than a director designated by or affiliated with any
         Acquiring Person or a Person who has entered into an agreement with
         the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses (A), (C) or
         (D) of this Subsection) whose election by the Board or nomination for
         election by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at
         least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who
         either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election
         or nomination for election was previously so approved ("Continuing
         Directors") cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or

               (C)  the Company merges or consolidates with any other
         corporation or other entity, or another corporation or other entity
         acquires Common Stock pursuant to a plan of exchange (within the
         meaning of Article 5.02 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, as
         amended (the "TBCA")) (a "Share Exchange"), in each case other than a
         merger, consolidation or Share Exchange which results in the voting
         securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
         continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
         converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least a
         majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the
         Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
         merger, consolidation or Share Exchange; or

               (D)  the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
         liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition
         by the Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets other
         than in the usual and regular course of business (as defined in
         Article 5.09B of the TBCA);

<PAGE>

provided, however, that in no event shall any increase in a Person's Beneficial
Ownership of Common Stock as a result of the acquisition of securities of the
Company by the Company or any of its subsidiaries be deemed a Change in Control
of the Company.

          As used in this Agreement, "Approved Person" means (1) an employee
benefit plan of the Company (or a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
for such a plan) (collectively, an "Employee Plan"), or (2) a corporation
owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company,
or (3) a Person not less than a majority of whose voting securities are
Beneficially Owned by the Company after giving effect to the transaction, or
(4) any Person who was, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of 5% or
more of the outstanding Common Stock on the date of this Agreement.

          (ii)   For purposes of this Agreement, a "Potential Change in
Control of the Company" shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) the Company
enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the
occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, (B) any Person (including the
Company) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions
which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control of the Company, (C)
any Person, other than an Approved Person, who becomes the Beneficial Owner,
directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock,
increases his Beneficial Ownership of such securities by 5% or more of the
Common Stock then outstanding or (D) the Board adopts a resolution to the
effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control of
the Company has occurred. You agree that, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in Control of the
Company, you will remain in the employ of the GAINSCO Companies until the
earliest of (1) a date which is one year after the occurrence of such Potential
Change in Control of the Company, (2) the termination by you of your employment
with the GAINSCO Companies by reason of death, Disability or Retirement as
defined in Subsection 3(i), or (3) the occurrence of a Change in Control of the
Company.

     3.   Termination Following Change in Control. If a Change in Control of
the Company shall have occurred, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided
in Subsection 4(iii) hereof upon the subsequent termination of your employment
during the Post Transaction Period unless such termination is (A) because of
your death, Disability or Retirement, (B) by any GAINSCO Company for Cause, or
(C) by you other than for Good Reason. You shall not be entitled to any benefits
under this Agreement if your employment terminates prior to the occurrence of
the Change in Control of the Company.

              (i)   Disability; Retirement. If, as a result of your incapacity
due to physical or mental illness, you shall have been absent from the
full-time performance of your duties with the GAINSCO Companies for a period of
six (6) consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after written notice of
termination is given you shall not have returned to the full-time performance
of your duties, your employment may be terminated for "Disability." Termination
by the GAINSCO Companies or you of your employment based on "Retirement" shall
mean termination with your consent in accordance with The GAINSCO, INC. 401(k)
Plan (the "Retirement Plan"), including any early retirement, generally
applicable to its salaried employees; provided, however, that termination based
on "Retirement" shall not include retirement in conjunction with termination by
you for Good Reason.

<PAGE>

              (ii)   Cause. Termination by Employer of your employment for
"Cause" shall mean termination upon (A) the failure by you to perform your
assigned duties with any GAINSCO Company (other than any such failure resulting
from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or
anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination by you for
Good Reason as defined in Subsections 3(iv) and 3(iii), respectively); or (B)
your malfeasance, gross negligence or recklessness in the performance of your
duties or responsibilities; or (C) the engaging by you in conduct which is
either intentionally, or demonstrably and materially, injurious to any GAINSCO
Company, monetarily or otherwise; or (D) failure by you to obey written
directions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or (E) your
conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or (F) you cease
to be eligible to hold your position with any GAINSCO Company as a result of
any statute or rule, regulation or interpretation of or by any regulatory
agency or other governmental or public authority; or (G) your fraud upon any
GAINSCO Company.

              (iii)   Good Reason. You shall be entitled to terminate your
employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall
mean, without your express written consent, the occurrence after a Change in
Control of the Company of any of the following circumstances unless, in the
case of paragraph (A), such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date
of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination, as defined in
Subsections 3(v) and 3(iv), respectively, given in respect thereof:

              (A)   the assignment to you of duties in the aggregate
         materially and adversely inconsistent with your employment status
         immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company or a
         substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of your
         responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change
         in Control of the Company, in either case as a direct consequence of
         the Change in Control of the Company;

              (B)   a material reduction by Employer in your annual base salary
         as in effect on the date of the Change in Control of the Company;

              (C)   the relocation of the Company's principal executive
         offices to a location outside of the Fort Worth, Texas metroplex (or,
         if different, the metropolitan area in which such offices are located
         immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company) coupled with
         the failure by the Company to reimburse you for reasonable relocation
         expenses; or

              (D)   the failure by the GAINSCO Companies, without your
         consent, to pay to you any portion of your current compensation, or to
         pay to you any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under
         any deferred compensation program of the GAINSCO Companies in effect
         immediately prior to the Change in Control after the same shall have
         become due and payable and within seven (7) days after receipt by the
         Company of written notice from you specifying that such compensation is
         due and has not been paid.

Your right to terminate your employment pursuant to this Subsection shall not be
affected by your incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so
indicated.

              (v)   Date of Termination, Etc. "Date of Termination" shall mean

or for any other reason (other than Disability), the date specified in the

mental illness, you shall continue to receive an amount equal to the difference
between (A) your salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of such period
less (B) the amounts of disability payments or other benefits which you receive
under all GAINSCO Company insurance plans, together with all other compensation
and benefits payable to you during such period, until this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof. Thereafter, or in the event your
employment shall be terminated by Employer or by you for Retirement, or by
reason of your death, your benefits shall be determined under the Company's
retirement, insurance and other compensation plans and programs then in effect

the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, plus all other
amounts to which you are entitled under any compensation or benefit plan of any
of the GAINSCO Companies at the time such payments are due, and no GAINSCO
Company shall have any further obligations to you under or in respect of this
Agreement.

          (iii)   If your employment by Employer shall be terminated (a)
by Employer other than for Cause, Retirement or Disability or (b) by you for
Good Reason, then you shall be entitled to the benefits provided below:

                  (A)  Employer shall pay you your full base salary
     through the Date of Termination at the higher of (i) the rate in effect at

<PAGE>

     Company, plus all other amounts that have accrued, and to which you are
     entitled, under any compensation plan of the Company, at the time such
     payments are due, except as otherwise provided below; and

                  (B)  in lieu of any further salary payments to you for the
     period subsequent to the Date of Termination, Employer shall pay as
     severance pay to you a lump sum cash severance payment in an amount equal
     to 150% of your annual base salary in effect at the time the Change in
     Control of the Company occurred; provided, however, that any such payment
     shall be conditioned upon your execution and delivery to Employer of a
     Separation Agreement and General Release substantially in the form
     attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (the "Separation Agreement").  Employer
     shall have no obligation whatsoever to pay any severance pay or other
     amount to you pursuant to this Subsection 4(iii)(B) unless and until you
     have executed and delivered the Separation Agreement.  Notwithstanding any
     other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or
     benefit received or to be received by you in connection with a Change in
     Control of the Company or the termination of your employment (whether
     payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan,
     arrangement or agreement with the Company, its successors, any Person
     whose actions result in a Change in Control of the Company or any Person
     affiliated with (or which, as a result of the completion of the
     transactions causing a Change in Control of the Company, will become
     affiliated with) the Company or such Person within the meaning of section
     1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (all
     such payments and benefits being hereinafter called the "Severance
     Payments") would not be deductible (in whole or in part), by the Company,
     Employer, an affiliate or any Person making such payment or providing such
     benefit as a result of section 280G of the Code, then, to the extent
     necessary to make such portion of the Severance Payments deductible (and
     after taking into account any reduction in the Severance Payments provided
     by reason of section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or
     agreement), (A) the cash Severance Payments shall first be reduced (if
     necessary, to zero), and (B) all other non-cash Severance Payments shall
     next be reduced. For purposes of this limitation, (i) no portion of the
     Severance Payments, the receipt or enjoyment of which you shall have
     effectively waived in writing prior to the Date of Termination, shall be
     taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Severance Payments shall be
     taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the
     Company's independent auditors does not constitute a "parachute payment"
     within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, including by reason
     of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (iii) the Severance Payments shall
     be reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Severance Payments
     (other than those referred to in clauses (i) or (ii)) in their entirety
     constitute reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within
     the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code or are otherwise not
     subject to disallowance as deductions, in the opinion of tax counsel
     referred to in clause (ii); and (iv) the value of any non-cash benefit or
     any deferred payment or benefit included in the Severance Payments shall
     be determined by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with the
     principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

                  (C)  the payments provided for in paragraphs (A) and (B)
     above shall be made not later than the 30th day following the Date of
     Termination; provided,

<PAGE>

     however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined
     on or before such day, Employer shall pay to you on such day an estimate,
     as determined in good faith by Employer, of the minimum amount of such
     payment and shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with
     interest at the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as
     soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than
     the 60th day after the Date of Termination; and provided, further, that
     notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
     payments provided for in paragraph (B) above shall not be made any earlier
     than the eleventh (11th) day following your execution (without revocation)
     of the Separation Agreement.  In the event that the amount of any
     estimated payment exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been
     due, such excess shall constitute a loan by Employer to you, payable on
     the fifth business day after demand by Employer (together with interest at
     the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

          (iv)   You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise,
nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 4 be
reduced by any compensation earned by you as a result of employment by another
employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be
owed by you to Employer, or otherwise.

          (v)   In addition to all other amounts payable to you under this
Section 4, you shall be entitled to receive all benefits payable to you, at the
respective time or times such payments are due, under the Retirement Plan(s),
and any other plan or agreement relating to retirement benefits.

     5.   Successors: Binding Agreement. (i) The Company will require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company
to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place, unless the successor's obligations to so perform
are clearly established under applicable law. Failure of the Company to obtain
such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession
shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle you to compensation from
Employer in the same amount and on the same terms as you would be entitled to
hereunder if you terminate your employment for Good Reason following a Change
in Control of the Company, except that for purposes of implementing the
foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be
deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean
the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business or assets
as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise.

          (ii)   This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you
should die while any amount would still be payable to you hereunder if you had
continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be
paid in accordance with terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or
other designee or, if there is no such designee, to your estate.

any renewals or extensions hereof. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and

only when this Agreement and all renewals or extensions of it have terminated.

4(ii) and 4(v) shall survive the expiration of the term of the Agreement.

                                   EXHIBIT "A"

                    SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

     THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (this "Agreement") dated as
of the _______________ day of __________, 20__ (the "Effective Date"), is by
and between __________ ("Employee"), _____________ ("Employer") and GAINSCO,
INC., a Texas corporation (the "Company").

     WHEREAS, Employee and Employer desire to terminate their relationship on
an amicable basis;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Definitions.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in
this Agreement are used with the same meaning as in the letter agreement dated
______, 2001 among Employee, Employer and the Company (the "Change in Control
Agreement").

     2.   Termination of Employment. Employee and Employer hereby terminate by
mutual consent the employment of Employee by Employer and any other GAINSCO
Companies effective as of the Effective Date. Employee hereby resigns any and
all positions and directorships he holds with Employer and any other GAINSCO
Companies effective as of the Effective Date.

     3.   Release. Employee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and
forever discharges Employer, the Company, each of the GAINSCO Companies, and
each of their respective subsidiaries and other affiliated companies and their
respective agents, employees, representatives, officers, directors,
shareholders, trustees and attorneys, past and present, and the heirs,
successors and assigns of all of the foregoing (collectively, the "Released
Parties") from any and all debts, liabilities, claims, demands, actions or
causes of action, suits, judgments or controversies of any kind whatsoever
(except as set forth below and except for workers' compensation claims and
claims for vested benefits payable under employee benefit plans covering
Employee) (collectively, the "Claims") against the Released Parties, that now
exist or that may arise in the future out of any matter, transaction or event
occurring prior to or on the Effective Date, including without limitation, any
claims of breach of contract or for retirement or severance or other
termination pay (except as set forth in Section 4 below), or claims of
harassment or discrimination (for example, on the basis of age, sex, race,
handicap, disability, religion, color or national origin) under any federal,
state or local law, rule or regulation, including, but not limited to the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. [sec] 621, et seq. Employee
further agrees not to file or bring any claim, suit, civil action, complaint,
arbitration or administrative action in any city, state or federal court or
agency or arbitration tribunal with respect to any Claim.

     4.   Severance. In consideration of Employee's execution of this
Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to receive from Employer as a one-time
severance payment (the "Severance Payment") the lump sum specified in the
Change in Control Agreement. Employee

<PAGE>

acknowledges that no other promise or agreements of any kind have been made to
Employee or with Employee by any person or entity whatsoever to cause Employee
to sign this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the
Severance Payment, together with the other consideration provided for in the
Change in Control Agreement, shall constitute full accord and satisfaction of
all severance obligations in connection with Employee's employment, except that
the parties agree that Employee's execution of this Agreement shall not affect
any rights which Employee may have pursuant to any written agreement, policy,
plan or program of any GAINSCO Company providing employee benefits (including
under any stock option agreements), which rights shall be governed by the terms
thereof.

     5.   No Disparagement.  Employee agrees that he or she will refrain from
speaking ill of or making any disparaging comment about any GAINSCO Company or
any employee or member of management of any GAINSCO Company, following the
termination of Employee's employment.

     6.   No Solicitation. For a period of eighteen (18) months following the
Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee agrees not to (i) divert or solicit
the business or patronage of any customer, insured, or general agent of any
GAINSCO Company for any purpose competitive with any business line or venture
in which any GAINSCO Company is engaged as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement, or (ii) solicit or encourage any officer or employee of any GAINSCO
Company to leave its employ.

     7.   Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. As used herein,
"Confidential Information" means any data or information that is competitively
sensitive and not generally known by the public including, but not limited to,
the business plans, lists of customers, insureds, prospective customers and
prospective insureds, training manuals, product development plans, unit-based
provider reimbursement systems, bidding and pricing procedures, market plans
and strategies, projections, internal performance statistics, financial data,
confidential personnel information concerning employees of any of the GAINSCO
Companies, operational or administrative plans, policy manuals, and terms and
conditions of contracts and agreements of the Company, Employer or any GAINSCO
Company. The term "Confidential Information" shall not apply to information
which is (i) already in Employee's possession (unless such information was
obtained by Employee in the course of Employee's employment) or (ii) required
to be disclosed by any applicable law or by an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the Confidential
Information constitutes valuable, special and unique assets of Employer and its
affiliates. Until such time as it may cease to be Confidential Information
through no act of Employee in violation of this Agreement, Employee will not
use or disclose any Confidential Information.

     8.   Disclaimer of Liability. Employee acknowledges that this Agreement
shall not in any way be construed as an admission by any of the Released
Parties of any wrongful or illegal act against Employee or any other person,
and that the Released Parties expressly disclaim any liability of any nature
whatsoever arising from or related to the subject of this Agreement.

     9.   COMPETENCY.  EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THE FOLLOWING:

               TO WHICH THE EMPLOYEE WAS ALREADY ENTITLED;

          h.   [THAT HE OR SHE HAS BEEN PROVIDED THE MATERIALS REGARDING THE
               CLASS, UNIT, OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS

               applicable law.]

          i.   [THAT HE OR SHE HAS BEEN PROVIDED THE JOB TITLES AND AGES OF ALL
               INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE OR SELECTED FOR THE PROGRAM AND THE AGES OF
               ALL INDIVIDUALS IN THE SAME JOB CLASSIFICATION OR ORGANIZATIONAL

     13.   Enforcement of Laws. Nothing in this Agreement affects the rights
and responsibilities of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the
"Commission") to enforce the anti-discrimination laws, and this waiver does not
affect Employee's right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or
proceeding with the Commission. However, Employee waives any rights or claims,
known or unknown, to participate in any recovery under any proceeding or
investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any state or
local commission concerned with the enforcement of anti-discrimination laws

     14.   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision
shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as
if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision never comprised a part
hereof; and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and
effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision, and there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a
provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

                   [Intentionally left blank.]
