        arising out of, his employment with the Company or a change in ownership
        or effective control of the Company or of a substantial portion of its
        assets (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax
        imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest, penalties,

        collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive will
        be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in
        an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes
        (including any interest, penalties, additional tax or similar items
        imposed with respect thereto and the Excise Tax) including any Excise
        Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount
        of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the
        Payments.

                (ii)    An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up
        Payment is required pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such
        Gross-Up Payment shall be made at the Company's expense by an accounting
        firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive
        which is designated as one of the four largest accounting firms in the
        United States (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide
        its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed
        supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and the
        Executive within ten days of the Termination Date if applicable, or such
        other time as requested by the Company or by the Executive and if the
        Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the
        Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish the
        Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no
        Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments.
        Within ten days of the delivery of the Determination to the Executive,
        the Executive shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the
        "Dispute"). The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined pursuant to this
        subsection 6(c) (ii) shall be paid by the Company to the Executive
        within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's Determination.
        The existence of the Dispute shall not in any way affect the Executive's
        right to receive the Gross-Up Payment in accordance with the
        Determination. If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be
        binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive subject
        to the application of subsection 6(c) (iii) below.

                (iii)   As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
        Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up
        Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been
        paid (an "Excess Payment") or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof)
        which should have been paid will not have been paid (an "Underpayment").
        An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred (a) upon notice (formal
        or informal) to the Executive from any governmental taxing authority
        that the Executive's tax liability (whether in respect of the
        Executive's current taxable year or in respect of any prior taxable
        year) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on
        a Payment or Payments with respect to which the Company has failed to
        make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment, (b) upon a determination by a court,
        (c) by reason of determination by the Company (which shall include the
        position taken by the Company, together with its consolidated group, on
        its federal income tax return) or (d) upon the resolution of the Dispute
        to the Executive's satisfaction. If an Underpayment occurs, the
        Executive shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall
        promptly, but in any event, at least five days prior to the date on
        which the applicable government taxing authority has requested payment,
        pay to the Executive an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount
        of the Underpayment plus any interest, penalties, additional taxes or
        similar

                                        8

<PAGE>

        items imposed on the Underpayment. An Excess Payment shall be deemed to
        have occurred upon a "Final Determination" (as hereinafter defined) that
        the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments (or
        portion thereof) with respect to which the Executive had previously
        received a Gross-Up Payment. A "Final Determination" shall be deemed to
        have occurred when the Executive has received from the applicable
        government taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in the
        Executive's tax liability by reason of the Excise Payment and upon
        either (x) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is
        entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which
        finally and conclusively binds the Executive and such taxing authority,
        or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent
        jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by
        such court and either all appeals have been taken and finally resolved
        or the time for all appeals has expired or (y) the statute of
        limitations with respect to the Executive's applicable tax return has
        expired. If an Excess Payment is determined to have been made, the
        amount of the Excess Payment shall be treated as a loan by the Company
        to the Executive and the Executive shall pay to the Company on demand
        (but not less than ten days after the Final Determination of such Excess
        Payment and written notice has been delivered to the Executive) the
        amount of the Excess Payment plus interest at an annual rate equal to
        the Applicable Federal Rate provided for in Section 1274(d) of the Code
        from the date the Gross-Up Payment (to which the Excess Payment relates)
        was paid to the Executive until the date of repayment to the Company.

                (iv)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
        the contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an
        Excise Tax will be imposed on any Payment or Payments, the Company shall
        pay to the applicable government taxing authorities as Excise Tax
        withholding, the amount of the Excise Tax that the Company has actually
        withheld from the Payment or Payments.

7.3     The Company is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control the
        Board of Directors or a shareholder of the Company may then cause or
        attempt to cause the Company to refuse to comply with its obligations
        under this Agreement, or may cause or attempt to cause the Company to
        institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to have this Agreement
        declared unenforceable, or may take or attempt to take other action to
        deny Executive the benefits intended under this Agreement. In these
        circumstances, the purpose of this Agreement could be frustrated. It is
        the intent of the Company that Executive not be required to incur the
        expenses associated with the enforcement of his rights under this
        Agreement by litigation or other legal action, nor be bound to negotiate
        any settlement of his rights hereunder, because the cost and expense of
        such legal action or settlement would substantially detract from the
        benefits intended to be extended to Executive hereunder. Accordingly, if
        following a Change in Control it should appear to

                                        9

<PAGE>

        Executive that the Company has failed to comply with any of its
        obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any
        other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or
        unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other legal action
        designed to deny, diminish or to recover from Executive the benefits
        entitled to be provided to the Executive hereunder, and that Executive
        has complied with all of his obligations under this Agreement, the
        Company irrevocably authorizes Executive from time to time to retain
        counsel of his choice, at the expense of the Company as provided in this
        Section 7, to represent Executive in connection with the initiation or
        defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether such action is
        by or against the Company or any director, officer, shareholder, or
        other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction.
        Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship
        between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents
        to Executive entering into an attorney-client relationship with such
        counsel, and in that connection the Company and Executive agree that a
        confidential relationship shall exist between Executive and such
        counsel. The reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected from time
        to time by Executive as hereinabove provided shall be paid or reimbursed
        to Executive by the Company on a regular, periodic basis upon
        presentation by Executive of a statement or statements prepared by such
        counsel in accordance with its customary practices. Any legal expenses
        incurred by the Company by reason of any dispute between the parties as
        to enforceability of or the terms contained in this Agreement as
        provided by this Section 7, notwithstanding the outcome of any such
        dispute, shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and the
        Company shall not take any action to seek reimbursement from Executive
        for such expenses.

7.4     Executive is not required to mitigate the amount of benefit payments to
        be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other
        employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any benefit payments
        provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by
        Executive as a result of employment by another employer or which might
        have been earned by Executive had Executive sought such employment,
        after the date of termination of his employment with the Company or
        otherwise.

7.5     The Company shall also provide Executive with the benefits set forth in
        Section 7 of this Agreement upon any termination of Executive's
        employment with the Company at Executive's option after a Change in
        Control followed by the happening of any one of the following events:

                (A)     Without Executive's express written consent, the
        assignment of Executive to any duties which, in Executive's reasonable
        judgment, are materially inconsistent with his positions, duties,
        responsibilities or status with the Company immediately prior to the
        Change in Control or a substantial reduction of his duties or
        responsibilities which, in Executive's reasonable opinion, does not

                                       10

<PAGE>

        represent a promotion from his position, duties or responsibilities
        immediately prior to the Change in Control.

                (B)     A reduction by the Company in Executive's salary from
        the level of such salary immediately prior to the Change in Control or
        the Company's failure to increase (within twelve (12) months of
        Executive's last increase in base salary) Executive's base salary after
        a Change in Control in an amount which at least equals, on a percentage
        basis, the average percentage increase in base salary for all executive
        and senior officers of the Company effected in the preceding twelve (12)
        months.

                (C)     The failure by the Company to continue in effect any
        incentive, bonus or other compensation plan in which Executive
        participates, including but not limited to the Company's stock option
        plans, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing
        substitute or alternative plan), with which Executive has consented, has
        been made with respect to such plan in connection with the Change in
        Control, or the failure by the Company to continue Executive's
        participation therein, or any action by the Company which would directly
        or indirectly materially reduce Executive's participation therein.

                (D)     The failure by the Company to continue to provide
        Executive with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by
        Executive or to which Executive was entitled under any of the Company's
        principal pension, profit sharing, life insurance, medical, dental,
        health and accident, or disability plans in which Executive was
        participating at the time of a Change in Control, the taking of any
        action by the Company which would directly or indirectly materially
        reduce any of such benefits or deprive Executive of any material fringe
        benefit enjoyed by Executive or to which Executive was entitled at the
        time of the Change in Control, or the failure by the Company to provide
        Executive with the number of paid vacation and sick leave days to which
        Executive is entitled on the basis of years of service or position with
        the Company in accordance with the Company's normal vacation policy in
        effect on the date hereof.

                (E)     The Company's requiring Executive to be based anywhere
        other than the metropolitan area where the Company office at which he
        was based immediately prior to the Change in Control was located, except
        for required travel on the Company's business in accordance with the
        Company's past management practices.

                (F)     Any failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of
        the obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor as
        contemplated in Section 8 hereof.

                                       11

<PAGE>

                (G)     Any failure by the Company or its shareholders, as the
        case may be, to reappoint or reelect Executive to a corporate office
        held by him immediately prior to the Change in Control or his removal
        from any such office including any seat held at such time on the
        Company's Board of Directors.

                (H)     The effectiveness of a resignation, tendered at any
        time, either before or after a Change in Control and regardless of
        whether formally characterized as voluntary or otherwise, by Executive
        of any corporate office held by him immediately prior to the Change in
        Control or of any seat held at such time on the Company's Board of
        Directors, at the request of the Company or at the request of the person
        obtaining control of the Company in such Change in Control.

                (I)     Any purported termination of the Executive's employment
        which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the
        requirements of this Agreement.

                (J)     Any request by the Company that Executive participate in
        an unlawful act or take any action constituting a breach of Executive's
        professional standard of conduct.

                (K)     Any breach by the Company of any of the provisions of
        this Agreement or any failure by the Company to carry out any of its
        obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive's right to
terminate Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 7 shall not be
affected by Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

8.      NO ASSIGNMENT
8.1     Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder is assignable
        by Executive or Executive's beneficiaries or legal representatives
        without Company's prior written consent; provided however, nothing in
        this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from designating a
        beneficiary to receive any benefit payable hereunder upon Executive's
        death or incapacity.

8.2     Notwithstanding the terms herein, this Agreement and the Company's
        rights hereunder may be assigned by the Company pursuant to a merger or
        consolidation that is not defined as a Change of Control in Exhibit D.

8.3     No right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to
        anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance,
        charge, pledge, attachment, and levy or to assignment by operation of
        law. Any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action
        shall be null, void and of no effect.

9.      SEVERABILITY
        Should any clause, portion or section of this Agreement be unenforceable
        or invalid for any reason, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not
        affect the enforceability or validity of the remainder of this
        Agreement. Should any particular covenant in this Agreement be held
        unreasonable or unenforceable for any reason, including without
        limitation, the time period, geographical area and scope of activity

        for any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that the
        Executive may obtain.

                         detrimental to the financial condition or business
                         reputation of the Company;

                    c.   Acts of dishonesty or gross negligence by the
                         Executive, which acts would not be qualified for
                         indemnification under the Directors' and Officers'
                         Liability Insurance Policy; or

                    d.   Willful acts or failure(s) to act consistent with or
                         willful disregard of his obligations under Company
                         policies or this Agreement.

               6.1.7 Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for
               cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him/her
               a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
               not less than a majority of the entire membership of the
               Company's Board at a meeting called and held for the purpose
               (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for
               Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before such
               Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of such Board,
               Executive was guilty of conduct constituting "cause" and
               specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

          6.2  In the event Executive's employment hereunder is terminated under
               Section 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, or 6.1.5, Company shall pay
               to Executive, as severance pay or liquidated damages or both, a
               lump-sum cash payment equal to the present value of the sum of
               the following amounts:

                    a.   The Base Salary that would have been paid to the
                         Executive throughout the greater of the number of
                         months remaining under the term of this Agreement or 12
                         months;

                    b.   The annual bonus amount in the year of termination of
                         Executive's employment, calculated at the higher of the
                         base bonus opportunity or the average bonus percentage
                         of Base Salary payable to Executive for the two (2)
                         years immediately preceding the year of termination,
                         and

                    c.   The annualized long-term incentive award for the year
                         in which the Executive's employment is terminated, at
                         the higher of the targeted level of the award or the
                         anticipated actual incentive award.

                                       5

<PAGE>

          6.3  Executive shall continue to participate in the medical, dental,
               life, accident and disability benefit plans of the Company as
               provided for herein on the same basis and at the same cost to
               Executive as on the date of termination or resignation until the
               first anniversary of such termination or resignation.

          6.4  To the extent that Executive is not then 100% vested in any
               employer matching contribution and earnings thereon allocated to
               his account in the Company's 401(k) Plan and said non-vested
               amount is forfeited, the Company will pay Executive a lump sum
               amount on the date of such forfeiture equal to the non-vested
               forfeited amount.

          6.5  To the extent that Executive's employment is terminated and
               Executive is entitled to receive funds from Company's profit
               sharing plan, deferred compensation plan, excess plan and/or the
               Equity Unit Plan for the period of time during which Executive
               was actively engaged as an Executive of Company, Company shall
               pay Executive any accrued profit sharing or other amounts through
               the date of termination of Executive's employment. However,
               Executive shall not, from the date of Executive's termination
               from employment or during the period when Company is paying
               Executive severance pay or liquidated damages or both after such
               date of termination of employment, be entitled to participate in
               any Company profit sharing programs.

          6.6  Except as required by law and except as provided in Sections 6.2,
               6.3, 6.4, 6.5 and 6.7, Company shall not be obligated to make any
               payments to Executive or on his behalf by reason of Executive's
               cessation of employment other than such amounts, if any, of his
               Salary as shall have accrued and remain unpaid as of the date of
               cessation of employment.

          6.7  No interest shall accrue on or be paid with respect to any timely
               payments made hereunder.

          6.8  Any rights or interest of Executive in Restricted Stock or other
               Stock Option Grants shall be subject to the terms provided for in
               the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement or other Stock Option
               Plan documents and agreements.

     7.   Change of Control

          7.1  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control of the
               Company (as defined in Exhibit D) shall occur prior to the
               expiration of the original term or any extensions of the term of
               this Agreement, then the term of this Agreement shall
               automatically become a term of three (3) years commencing on the
               date of any such Change in Control.

          7.2  In the event a Change of Control as outlined in Exhibit D should
               occur, the following benefits, less any amounts required to be
               withheld therefrom under any applicable federal, state or local
               income tax, other tax, or social security laws or

                                       6

<PAGE>

     similar statutes, shall be paid to Executive upon any termination of his
     employment with the Company subsequent to a Change in Control:

               (A) Within thirty (30) days following such a termination,
          Executive shall be paid, at his then-effective salary, for services
          performed through the date of his termination. In addition, Executive
          shall be paid the bonus accrued through the date of termination,
          calculated at the higher of the base bonus opportunity or the average
          bonus percentage of Base Salary payable to Executive for the two (2)
          years immediately preceding the year of termination, pro-rated for the
          number of months from January 1 of the year in which the Change of
          Control occurs through the end of the month in which the Change of
          Control occurs and the annualized long-term incentive award for the
          year in which the Change of Control occurs, at the higher of the
          targeted level of the award or the anticipated actual incentive award,
          pro-rated for the number of months from January 1 of the year in which
          the Change of Control occurs through the end of the month in which the
          Change of Control occurs.

               (B) Within thirty (30) days following such a termination,
          Executive shall be paid a lump sum payment of an amount equal to two
          and nine-tenths (2.9) times Executive's "Base Amount." For purposes
          hereof, Base Amount is defined as the higher of Executive's average
          includable compensation paid by the Company for the five (5) most
          recent taxable years ending before the date on which the Change in
          Control occurs or the Base Salary plus Executive's applicable annual
          bonus opportunity. The definition, interpretation and calculation of
          the dollar amount of Base Amount shall be in a manner consistent with
          and as required by the provisions of Section 280G of the Internal
          Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and the regulations and
          rulings of the Internal Revenue Service promulgated there under.

               (C)(i) In the event that any payment or benefit (within the
          meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) paid or payable to the
          Executive or for his benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
          or otherwise (including any benefit from the exercise of stock options
          vested early because of a change in control) in connection with, or
          arising out of, his employment with the Company or a change in
          ownership or effective control of the Company or of a substantial
          portion of its assets (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be subject to
          the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest,
          penalties, additional tax or similar items are incurred by the
          Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together
          with any such interest, penalties, additional tax or similar items are
          hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the
          Executive will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a
          "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the
          Executive of all taxes (including any interest, penalties, additional
          tax or similar items imposed with respect thereto and the Excise Tax)
          including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the
          Executive

                                       7

<PAGE>

          retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
          imposed upon the Payments.

               (ii) An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is
          required pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Gross-Up
          Payment shall be made at the Company's expense by an accounting firm
          selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive
          which is designated as one of the four largest accounting firms in the
          United States (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall
          provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with
          detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and
          the Executive within ten days of the Termination Date if applicable,
          or such other time as requested by the Company or by the Executive and
          if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the
          Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish the
          Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that
          no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or
          Payments. Within ten days of the delivery of the Determination to the
          Executive, the Executive shall have the right to dispute the
          Determination (the "Dispute"). The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as
          determined pursuant to this subsection 6(c) (ii) shall be paid by the
          Company to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the
          Accounting Firm's Determination. The existence of the Dispute shall
          not in any way affect the Executive's right to receive the Gross-Up
          Payment in accordance with the Determination. If there is no Dispute,
          the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the
          Company and the Executive subject to the application of subsection
          6(c) (iii) below.

              (iii) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
          Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up
          Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been
          paid (an "Excess Payment") or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion
          thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an
          "Underpayment"). An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred (a)
          upon notice (formal or informal) to the Executive from any
          governmental taxing authority that the Executive's tax liability
          (whether in respect of the Executive's current taxable year or in
          respect of any prior taxable year) may be increased by reason of the
          imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to
          which the Company has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment,
          (b) upon a determination by a court, (c) by reason of determination by
          the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company,
          together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax
          return) or (d) upon the resolution of the Dispute to the Executive's
          satisfaction. If an Underpayment occurs, the Executive shall promptly
          notify the Company and the Company shall promptly, but in any event,
          at least five days prior to the date on which the

                                       8

<PAGE>

          applicable government taxing authority has requested payment, pay to
          the Executive an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of
          the Underpayment plus any interest, penalties, additional taxes or
          similar items imposed on the Underpayment. An Excess Payment shall be
          deemed to have occurred upon a "Final Determination" (as hereinafter
          defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or
          Payments (or portion thereof) with respect to which the Executive had
          previously received a Gross-Up Payment. A "Final Determination" shall
          be deemed to have occurred when the Executive has received from the
          applicable government taxing authority a refund of taxes or other
          reduction in the Executive's tax liability by reason of the Excise
          Payment and upon either (x) the date a determination is made by, or an
          agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing
          authority which finally and conclusively binds the Executive and such
          taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a
          court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final
          determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have
          been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has
          expired or (y) the statute of limitations with respect to the
          Executive's applicable tax return has expired. If an Excess Payment is
          determined to have been made, the amount of the Excess Payment shall
          be treated as a loan by the Company to the Executive and the Executive
          shall pay to the Company on demand (but not less than ten days after
          the Final Determination of such Excess Payment and written notice has
          been delivered to the Executive) the amount of the Excess Payment plus
          interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate
          provided for in Section 1274(d) of the Code from the date the Gross-Up
          Payment (to which the Excess Payment relates) was paid to the
          Executive until the date of repayment to the Company.

               (iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
          contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an Excise
          Tax will be imposed on any Payment or Payments, the Company shall pay
          to the applicable government taxing authorities as Excise Tax
          withholding, the amount of the Excise Tax that the Company has
          actually withheld from the Payment or Payments.

     7.3  The Company is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control
          the Board of Directors or a shareholder of the Company may then cause
          or attempt to cause the Company to refuse to comply with its
          obligations under this Agreement, or may cause or attempt to cause the
          Company to institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to have
          this Agreement declared unenforceable, or may take or attempt to take
          other action to deny Executive the benefits intended under this
          Agreement. In these circumstances, the purpose of this Agreement could
          be frustrated. It is the intent of the Company that Executive not be
          required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of his
          rights under this Agreement by litigation or other legal action, nor
          be bound to negotiate any settlement of his

                                       9

<PAGE>

          rights hereunder, because the cost and expense of such legal action or
          settlement would substantially detract from the benefits intended to
          be extended to Executive hereunder. Accordingly, if following a Change
          in Control it should appear to Executive that the Company has failed
          to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the
          event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare
          this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or
          other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from
          Executive the benefits entitled to be provided to the Executive
          hereunder, and that Executive has complied with all of his obligations
          under this Agreement, the Company irrevocably authorizes Executive
          from time to time to retain counsel of his choice, at the expense of
          the Company as provided in this Section 7, to represent Executive in
          connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other
          legal action, whether such action is by or against the Company or any
          director, officer, shareholder, or other person affiliated with the
          Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior
          attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel, the
          Company irrevocably consents to Executive entering into an
          attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection
          the Company and Executive agree that a confidential relationship shall
          exist between Executive and such counsel. The reasonable fees and
          expenses of counsel selected from time to time by Executive as
          hereinabove provided shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive by the
          Company on a regular, periodic basis upon presentation by Executive of
          a statement or statements prepared by such counsel in accordance with
          its customary practices. Any legal expenses incurred by the Company by
          reason of any dispute between the parties as to enforceability of or
          the terms contained in this Agreement as provided by this Section 7,
          notwithstanding the outcome of any such dispute, shall be the sole
          responsibility of the Company, and the Company shall not take any
          action to seek reimbursement from Executive for such expenses.

     7.4  Executive is not required to mitigate the amount of benefit payments
          to be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other
          employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any benefit payments
          provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned
          by Executive as a result of employment by another employer or which
          might have been earned by Executive had Executive sought such
          employment, after the date of termination of his employment with the
          Company or otherwise.

     7.5  The Company shall also provide Executive with the benefits set forth
          in Section 7 of this Agreement upon any termination of Executive's
          employment with the Company at Executive's option after a Change in
          Control followed by the happening of any one of the following events:

               (A) Without Executive's express written consent, the assignment
          of Executive to any duties which, in Executive's reasonable judgment,
          are materially inconsistent with his positions, duties,
          responsibilities or status with the Company immediately prior to the

                                       10

<PAGE>

     Change in Control or a substantial reduction of his duties or
     responsibilities which, in Executive's reasonable opinion, does not
     represent a promotion from his position, duties or responsibilities
     immediately prior to the Change in Control.

          (B) A reduction by the Company in Executive's salary from the level of
     such salary immediately prior to the Change in Control or the Company's
     failure to increase (within twelve (12) months of Executive's last increase
     in base salary) Executive's base salary after a Change in Control in an
     amount which at least equals, on a percentage basis, the average percentage
     increase in base salary for all executive and senior officers of the
     Company effected in the preceding twelve (12) months.

          (C) The failure by the Company to continue in effect any incentive,
     bonus or other compensation plan in which Executive participates, including
     but not limited to the Company's stock option plans, unless an equitable
     arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan), with
     which Executive has consented, has been made with respect to such plan in
     connection with the Change in Control, or the failure by the Company to
     continue Executive's participation therein, or any action by the Company
     which would directly or indirectly materially reduce Executive's
     participation therein.

          (D) The failure by the Company to continue to provide Executive with
     benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by Executive or to which
     Executive was entitled under any of the Company's principal pension, profit
     sharing, life insurance, medical, dental, health and accident, or
     disability plans in which Executive was participating at the time of a
     Change in Control, the taking of any action by the Company which would
     directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive
     Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Executive or to which
     Executive was entitled at the time of the Change in Control, or the failure
     by the Company to provide Executive with the number of paid vacation and
     sick leave days to which Executive is entitled on the basis of years of
     service or position with the Company in accordance with the Company's
     normal vacation policy in effect on the date hereof.

          (E) The Company's requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than
     the metropolitan area where the Company office at which he was based
     immediately prior to the Change in Control was located, except for required
     travel on the Company's business in accordance with the Company's past
     management practices.

          (F) Any failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the
     obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated in
     Section 8 hereof.

                                       11

<PAGE>
