      This document describes the benefits program for individuals employed as

I.    ANNUAL SALARY.

The Vice President will receive a base annual salary ("Base Annual Salary")

to the approval of the Board of Directors. Included among other considerations
in the annual review will be the Vice President's individual job performance.
Increases, if any shall be at the discretion of Holdings.

II.   BONUS PLAN.

The Vice President shall be eligible to participate in Holdings' Annual
Incentive Plan or successor plan at the Vice President level. The level of the
bonus available to the Vice President will be set forth in the Annual Incentive
Plan and will be awarded in consideration of individual and corporate
performance based on performance goals and objectives determined by the Holdings
Compensation Committee. A fuller description of how corporate and individual
performance operate in tandem to determine the calculation of bonuses will be
described in the Annual Incentive Plan. The Annual Incentive Plan document will
be developed by the Holdings Compensation Committee and is subject to amendment
from time to time with changes as adopted by the Compensation Committee or full
Board of Directors of Holdings. As further described in the Annual Incentive
Plan, corporate and individual performance in combination may permit the Vice
President to earn a target bonus equal to 50% of Base Annual Salary. Lesser
corporate or individual performance may cause bonus payments to be in an amount
less than 50% of Base Annual Salary or result in no bonus being payable. Greater
corporate and individual performances may result in the bonus being more than
50% of Base Annual Salary. When the bonus payment reaches more than 50% of Base
Annual Salary, the Employer reserves the right to pay some or all of the portion
of the bonus that is above 50% of Base Annual Salary in Holdings unrestricted
