                                  INTRODUCTION

         To encourage the Director to remain a member of the Company's  Board of
Directors,  the  Company is willing  to provide to the  Director a deferred  fee
opportunity. The Company will pay the benefits from its general assets.

                                    AGREEMENT

         The Director and the Company agree as follows:


                                    Article I

                                   Definitions

                                Deferral Election

         2.1  Initial  Election.  The  Director  shall make an initial  deferral
election under this Agreement by filing with the Company a signed  Election Form
within 30 days after the date of this  Agreement.  The  Election  Form shall set
forth the amount of Fees to be  deferred  and the form of benefit  payment.  The
Election  Form shall be  effective  to defer only Fees earned after the date the
Election Form is received by the Company.

         2.2 Election Changes

              2.2.1 Generally.  The Director may modify the amount of Fees to be
deferred by filing a  subsequent  signed  Election  Form with the  Company.  The

year in which the  subsequent  Election  Form is  received by the  Company.  The
Director  may not change the form of benefit  payment  initially  elected  under
Section 2.1.

              2.2.2 Hardship.  If an unforeseeable  financial  emergency arising

Agreement or may cease deferrals under this Agreement.


                                    Article 3

the following amounts:

the Fees would have otherwise been paid to the Director.

              3.1.2  Interest.  On the first day of each  month and  immediately
prior to the payment of any benefits,  interest on the account balance since the
preceding credit under this Section 3.1.2, if any, at an annual rate, compounded

promise to pay such  benefits.  The  Director's  rights  are not  subject in any
manner  to  anticipation,   alienation,  sale,  transfer,   assignment,  pledge,
encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by the Director's creditors.

                                    Article 6

                                  Beneficiaries

         6.1   Beneficiary   Designations.   The  Director  shall   designate  a
beneficiary by filing a written  designation with the Company.  The Director may
revoke  or  modify  the  designation  at any time by  filing a new  designation.
However,  designations  will only be  effective  if signed by the  Director  and
accepted  by  the  Company  during  the  Director's  lifetime.   The  Director's
beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary
predeceases  the Director,  or if the Director names a spouse as beneficiary and
the marriage is  subsequently  dissolved.  If the Director  dies without a valid
beneficiary designation,  all payments shall be made to the Director's surviving
spouse,  if any,  and if none,  to the  Director's  surviving  children  and the

disposition  of his or her  property,  the Company  may pay such  benefit to the
guardian,  legal  representative  or person  having  the care or custody of such
minor,  incompetent person or incapable person. The Company may require proof of
incompetency,  minority  or  guardianship  as it may deem  appropriate  prior to
distribution of the benefit.  Such distribution  shall completely  discharge the
Company from all liability with respect to such benefit.


                                    Article 7

                               General Limitations

         Notwithstanding  any provision of this  Agreement to the contrary,  the
Company shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement that is  attributable  to
the  Company's   matching   contributions   or  the  interest   earned  on  such
contributions:

         7.1 Excess  Parachute  Payment.  To the extent the benefit  would be an
excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code.


                                        4

         7.3 Suicide. If the Director commits suicide within two years after the
date of this Agreement, or if the Director has made any material misstatement of
fact on any application for life insurance purchased by the Company.


                                    Article 8

                          Claims and Review Procedures

         8.1  Claims   Procedure.   The  Company  shall  notify  the  Director's
beneficiary  in  writing,  within  ninety  (90)  days  of  his  or  her  written
application  for  benefits,  of his or her  eligibility  or  noneligibility  for
benefits under the Agreement.  If the Company determines that the beneficiary is
not eligible for benefits or full  benefits,  the notice shall set forth (1) the
specific reasons for such denial,  (2) a specific reference to the provisions of
the Agreement on which the denial is based,  (3) a description of any additional
information or material  necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim,
and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Agreement's
claims review procedure and other appropriate  information as to the steps to be
taken if the  beneficiary  wishes to have the  claim  reviewed.  If the  Company
determines  that there are special  circumstances  requiring  additional time to
make a  decision,  the  Company  shall  notify the  beneficiary  of the  special
circumstances  and the date by which a decision is expected to be made,  and may
extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.

         8.2 Review  Procedure.  If the beneficiary is determined by the Company
not to be eligible for benefits,  or if the beneficiary  believes that he or she
is entitled to greater or different  benefits,  the  beneficiary  shall have the
opportunity  to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for
review  with the  Company  within  sixty (60) days  after  receipt of the notice
issued by the Company.  Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the
beneficiary  believes  entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different
benefits.  Within sixty (60) days after  receipt by the Company of the petition,
the Company shall afford the beneficiary (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to
present  his or her  position  to the  Company  orally  or in  writing,  and the
beneficiary (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents.
The Company shall notify the  beneficiary  of its decision in writing within the
sixty-day period,  stating specifically the basis of its decision,  written in a
manner  calculated  to  be  understood  by  the  beneficiary  and  the  specific
provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is based.  If,  because of the
need for a hearing, the sixty-day period is not sufficient,  the decision may be
deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Company,  but
notice of this deferral shall be given to the beneficiary.


                                    Article 9

                           Amendments and Termination

         The Company may amend or terminate  this Agreement at any time prior to
the Director's  Termination of Service by written notice to the Director.  In no
event shall this Agreement be terminated  without payment to the Director of the
Deferral Account balance  attributable to the Director's  deferrals and interest
credited on such amounts.

Company,  and their  beneficiaries,  survivors,  executors,  administrators  and
transferees.

         10.2 No Guaranty of  Employment.  This  Agreement is not a contract for

interfere with the Director's right to terminate services at any time.

         10.3 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

United States of America.

         10.6 Unfunded  Arrangement.  The Director and  beneficiary  are general

that any  subsequent  election  will not be effective  until the  calendar  year
following the year in which the new election is received by the Company.

Compensation Agreement payable following my death.
