NOW, THERFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual premises set forth

of which are hereby acknowledged, Employer and Employee hereby agree that the
Restated Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
1. Employment and Duties of Employee. The first paragraph of Section 1 of
the Restated Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Employer employs Employee to act in a senior executive capacity as
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Secretary of Employer
and in all aspects of its business, as and when requested, and at such times and

Employer's earnings before interest and income taxes as reported in
Employer's audited financial statements for each year that this

on extraordinary or nonrecurring items and unusual items (such as sale
of a significant amount of assets or securities other than in the
ordinary course of business operations, one-time employee separation
costs, and significant litigation costs or recoveries) ("Adjusted

year."
"(c) Should this Agreement terminate prior to the close of fiscal
year of employer, Employee shall be entitled to a bonus with respect to
such fiscal year (in addition to such other amounts to which he may be
entitled on termination under other provisions of this Agreement) equal
to the bonus he would have earned had this Agreement been in effect for
