2005 (the "Agreement"; all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement); and

WHEREAS the Company and the Executive both wish to continue the Executive's
employment as CFO of the Company, under the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

      1.    The Executive shall continue to serve as the CFO of the Company and
