Article XIV to the Stock Purchase Agreement in full substitution therefor:

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                          COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION

               14.01.  The parties hereto agree that if the employment by
          JCC of those persons listed in Paragraph 14.02, or any of them,
          is terminated for any reason, such terminated employee shall
          receive from JCC and/or by KCSI (KCSI hereby guaranteeing any
          obligation of JCC) a payment equal to the amounts as set forth in

          termination.  Such payment shall be made in a lump sum not later
          than thirty (30) days after his receipt of notice of termination.

               14.02.  If any person listed in this Paragraph 14.02 is
          terminated as provided in Paragraph 14.01, he shall be
          compensated as follows:

                           (a)  if Thomas H. Bailey, Thomas F. Marsico,
                      James P. Craig, III, Jack R. Thompson, or Michael E.
                      McGoldrick is such terminated employee, he shall
                      receive payment equal to 100% of his prior year's
                      current and deferred compensation, including salary,
                      bonuses and profit sharing contributions.

                           (b)  if Susan R. Hughes or Kathleen A. Burns
                      is such terminated employee, she shall receive

                      deferred compensation, including salary, bonuses and
                      profit sharing contributions.

                           (c)  if Warren B. Lammert or Helen Y. Hayes is
                      such terminated employee, he or she shall receive
                      payment equal to 25% of his or her prior year's
                      current and deferred compensation, including salary,
                      bonuses and profit sharing contributions.

                      14.03.  Notwithstanding Paragraphs 14.01 and 14.02, the
                 payments provided for in such Paragraphs 14.01 and 14.02 shall
                 only be made on the event of the following:

                           (a)  a Change in Ownership;

                           (b)  termination occurs within one (1) year
                      from the date of the Change in Ownership; and

                           (c)  Thomas H. Bailey does not terminate such
                      person.

               14.04.  The Covenant of Non-Solicitation dated June 14,
         1984, executed by Thomas H. Bailey, attached hereto as Exhibit A,
         shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its
         terms, except that the provison in the second paragraph thereof
         shall be deleted, as noted in Exhibit A.

     8.  The parties hereby consent and agree to the addition of the
following Paragraphs 18.10 and 18.11 to Article XVIII of the Stock Purchase
Agreement:

             18.10.  On or before the 10th day following any Change of
       Ownership (as defined in Paragraph 10.06 of the Agreement), KCSI
       shall deliver to Thomas H. Bailey as representative of the
       Remaining Shareholders of JCC, other than KCSI, a clean
       irrevocable Letter of Credit (in form and substance acceptable to
       Thomas H. Bailey) drawn on a financial institution acceptable to
       Thomas H. Bailey in the amount of 110% of the greatest of the
       total amounts which would be due under this Agreement to Thomas
       H. Bailey, any employee of JCC, and/or the Remaining Shareholders
       of JCC, other than KCSI, if the provisions of this Agreement were
       exercised by such persons, as applicable, in order to secure
       payment to such persons under the applicable provisions of this
       Agreement. Such Letter of Credit shall be maintained by KCSI at
       its sole cost and expense for a period ending on the earlier to
       occur of the following:

                            (a)  the date that is one (1) year from the
                       date such Letter of Credit is delivered to Thomas H.
                       Bailey and is accepted by him in writing, which
                       acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld;

                            (b)  the date that such Letter of Credit is
                       drawn; or

                            (c)  the date that all payments due to Thomas
                       H. Bailey, those employees of JCC entitled to
                       payments, and all Remaining Shareholders of JCC,
                       other than KCSI, have been made in full under any
                       applicable provisions of this Agreement.

                  18.11.  In the event that the Letter of Credit provided for
             in Paragraph 18.10 of this Agreement is not timely delivered, and
             subsequently KCSI defaults in its obligations to Thomas H.
             Bailey, employees of JCC entitled to payments  under this
             Agreement, and the Remaining Shareholders of JCC, other than
             KCSI, or any of them, KCSI shall be liable for and shall pay to
             such persons as liquidated damages an amount equal to two (2)
             times the amount determined to be owing to such persons under the
             applicable provisions of this Agreement. The  parties hereby
             acknowledge that in the event of such default by KCSI, Thomas  H.
             Bailey, the employees of JCC, and the remaining Shareholders of
             JCC, other  than KCSI, will suffer substantial damages, the
             amount of which cannot be reasonably ascertained. Therefore, the
             parties agree that the amount of liquidated damages set forth
             above is fair and equitable.

     9.  Except as expressly amended herein, the Stock Purchase Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

     10.  If any conflict shall arise between the terms and conditions of
this Second Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase
Agreement, this Second Amendment shall govern with respect to the matters
described herein.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Second Amendment on
the date and year first above written.
