agrees to perform the Restated Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in
accordance with Section 13 thereof; provided, however, that the Executive hereby
acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall anything in this Amendment (or

JHFS or Manulife under any other agreement or plan that provides for payments or
benefits upon a change of control. Manulife further acknowledges and agrees to
be bound by (1) the methodologies for determining the amounts payable to the
Executive pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7(c), 7(d) and 7(f) of the
Restated Agreement and (2) the amounts that would be
<PAGE>

payable to the Executive if the Executive were entitled to receive the payments
and benefits set forth in such Sections as of the Closing Date (as such term is
defined in the Merger Agreement), in each case as such methodologies and amounts
are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. Manulife acknowledges that, in
accordance with the Restated Agreement, the Company shall designate in writing
primary and alternate Accountants to Manulife on or prior to the Closing Date.

9. Except as amended by this Amendment, all other terms of the Restated
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, that, until the
earlier to occur of (i) the date that this Amendment terminates and is of no
further force and effect pursuant to Section 2 of this Amendment and (ii) the
Effective Time of the Merger, the Company, JHFS and the Executive each hereby
agrees and acknowledges that the Restated Agreement (as amended by this
Amendment) shall not be amended without the prior written consent of Manulife.

10. Subject to Section 9 of this Amendment, this Amendment shall be subject to
the "Miscellaneous" provisions contained in Section 14 of the Restated
Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein, provided that any notice
or other communication under the Restated Agreement or this Amendment to be
delivered to Manulife shall be provided to the following address in accordance

deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set the Executive's hand
and the Company, JHFS and Manulife have caused this Amendment to be executed in
their respective names and on their behalf, all as of the day and year first

      subsection (i) thereof in its entirety and substituting the following
      subsection (i) therefor:

                  "(i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties

            position, authority or responsibilities, as contemplated by Section
            4 of this Agreement, or any other material adverse change or
            significant reduction in position, titles, reporting lines,
            authority or responsibilities, other than any such assignment
            inconsistent with the foregoing that is inadvertent and cured by the
            Company or JHFS, as applicable, within ten (10) business days after
            receipt by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Board of
            Directors of JHFS, as applicable, of written notice thereof given by
            the Executive;"

      subsection (ii) thereof in its entirety and substituting the following
      subsection (ii) therefor:

                  "(ii) any failure by the Company or JHFS to comply with any of
            the provisions of Section 5 (other than Section 5(c)) of this
            Agreement, other than an insubstantial or inadvertent failure that
            is cured by the Company or JHFS, as applicable, within ten (10)
            business days after receipt by the Board of Directors of the Company
            or the Board of Directors of JHFS, as applicable, of written notice

6.    Section 6(d) of the Restated Agreement is further amended by deleting the
      last paragraph thereof and substituting therefor the following:

            "Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, termination of
            employment by the Executive for any reason at any time during the
            one hundred and eighty (180) day period commencing on the first
            anniversary date of the Effective Time of the Merger (as such terms
            are defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be deemed to constitute
            Good Reason."

7.    By executing this Amendment, Manulife hereby expressly assumes and agrees
      to perform the Restated Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in
      accordance with Section 13 thereof; provided, however, that the Executive
      hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall anything in this
      Amendment (or the Restated Agreement) be construed or applied to entitle
      the Executive to receive payments or benefits under the Restated Agreement
      that are duplicative of any payments or benefits provided to the Executive
      by any of the Company, JHFS or Manulife under any other agreement or plan
      that provides for payments or benefits upon a change of control. Manulife
      further acknowledges and
<PAGE>

      agrees to be bound by (1) the methodologies for determining the amounts
      payable to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7(c), 7(d)
      and 7(f) of the Restated Agreement and (2) the amounts that would be
      payable to the Executive if the Executive were entitled to receive the
      payments and benefits set forth in such Sections as of the Closing Date
      (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), in each case as such
      methodologies and amounts are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.
      Manulife acknowledges that, in accordance with the Restated Agreement, the
      Company shall designate in writing primary and alternate Accountants to
      Manulife on or prior to the Closing Date.

8.    Except as amended by this Amendment, all other terms of the Restated
      Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, that, until the
      earlier to occur of (i) the date that this Amendment terminates and is of
      no further force and effect pursuant to Section 2 of this Amendment and
      (ii) the Effective Time of the Merger, the Company, JHFS and the Executive
      each hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Restated Agreement (as
      amended by this Amendment) shall not be amended without the prior written
      consent of Manulife.

9.    Subject to Section 8 of this Amendment, this Amendment shall be subject to
      the "Miscellaneous" provisions contained in Section 14 of the Restated
      Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein, provided that any
      notice or other communication under the Restated Agreement or this
      Amendment to be delivered to Manulife shall be provided to the following
      address in accordance with Section 14(e) of the Restated Agreement:

      more counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate
      counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an
      original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
      agreement.
