               1.04	Payment for the JCC Shares purchased by KCSI
               pursuant to paragraph 1.03 shall be made on an
               installment basis, as follows: As soon after each of
               December 31, 1985, 1986 and 1987 as the amount of Net
               After-Tax Earnings of JCC for each of the fiscal
               years then ended has been determined as provided in
               paragraph 2.04, but not later than 30 days after the
               date of each such determination, KCSI shall deliver
               to each of the Selling Shareholders of JCC a
               certified or bank check in an amount equal to the sum
               of (i) a principal payment in the amount of fifteen
               times the Net After-Tax Earnings per share of JCC
               times a number equal to one-third the number of
               shares sold by each such Shareholder of JCC in
               accordance with paragraph 1.03, and (ii) an amount
               equal to interest computed at a rate of 14.75% per
               annum from the later of January 1, 1985 or the date
               of the last previous installment payment on the total
               principal amount of the obligation outstanding at the
               date of such payment (calculated by adding the
               principal amount due at such installment as
               calculated above, plus the principal amount that
               would be due in future installments if the Net
               After-Tax Earnings of JCC is unchanged at the time
               that future principal payments are calculated).

                    The interest payable with respect to each
               principal payment shall be based upon the actual
               amount of such principal payment, although with
               respect to the second and third installments, the
               interest payable before the principal payment is
               calculated can only be estimated as provided above.
               At the time of the second and third installment
               payments provided for hereby, an adjustment shall be
               made for any overpayment or underpayment of interest
               in the previous year or years with respect to that
               principal payment, which has occurred as a result of
               the Net After-Tax Earnings of JCC for the then
               current year not being the same as for the previous
               year, as was assumed in the previous year's interest
               calculation."
