SECTION 3 - REDUCTION IN COMPENSATION PROSCRIBED AFTER A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

From the date of a Change in Control to the date of termination of this

all of his then-current fringe benefits, including but not limited to health,
disability, dental, life insurance and club memberships, all of which shall be
at levels and amounts no less favorable than levels and amounts in effect as of
the Change in Control.

SECTION 4 - PAYMENTS DUE AFTER A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

A.    If during the term of this Agreement and after the date of a Change in
     Control, Executive is discharged without Cause or Executive resigns because
     he has: (i) been demoted, (ii) had his compensation reduced, (iii) had his
     principal place of employment transferred away from Monroe County,
     Michigan, or a county contiguous thereto, or (iv) had his job title, status
     or responsibility materially reduced, then the Company shall make the
     payments to Executive set forth in subsection D of this Section 4.

B.    If Executive voluntarily terminates employment not earlier than six (6)
     months and not later than nine (9) months following a Change in Control,
     then the Company shall make the payments to Executive set forth in
     subsection D of this Section 4.

C.    If Executive is discharged by Company other than for Cause and there is a
     Change in Control within two years following the discharge, then the
     Company shall make the payments to Executive set forth in subsection D of
     this Section 4.

D.    In the event of the termination of Executive's employment as described in
     A, B or C above, Executive shall be entitled to receive a cash payment
     equal to one (1) times his Compensation. The payment required shall be paid
     at the end of the first month commencing after the Executive's termination
     of employment in the case of a benefit entitlement under Subsection A, or B
     above. In the event of termination of employment as described in C above,
     payment shall be made immediately upon the Change in Control. If
     Executive's employment is terminated as described in Subsection A or
     Subsection B above, then in addition to the above cash payment, Company
     shall make an additional cash payment equal to twelve months of the then
     current cost of any club memberships provided by the Company for the
     benefit of Executive and continue at no cost to Executive for the term of
     the Benefit Period as defined below, Executive's coverage in Company's
     health, disability, dental, and life insurance at the same levels that had
     been provided immediately prior to his termination of employment. The
     Benefit Period shall commence on the date of termination of the Executive's
     employment and shall end on the last day of the 12th consecutive whole
     month thereafter.

     In the event Executive dies before collecting all amounts and benefits due
     under this Section, any payments owing shall be paid to the person or
     persons as stated in the last designation of beneficiary concerning this
     Agreement signed by Executive and filed with Company, and if not, then to
     the personal representative of Executive.

     The payments and benefits provided for herein are in lieu of compensation,
     benefits or amounts the Executive might otherwise be entitled to under the
     Company's severance policy or otherwise payable by the Company be reason of
     termination of employment.

E.    In the event the payments required under this Agreement, when added
     together with any other amounts required to be included by Executive under
     the provisions of the Code, result in an "Excess Parachute Payment," as
     that term is defined in Section 280G of the Code, then the amount of the
     payments provided for in this agreement

<PAGE>

     shall be increased in an amount equal to 250% of any excise tax imposed
     under Section 4999 (or any successor thereto) of the Code and otherwise
     payable by the Executive.

F.    Any subsequent employment by Executive shall not reduce the obligation of
     the Company to make the full payments and provide the full benefits
     specified herein and Executive shall have no obligation to seek other
     employment or otherwise mitigate the effect of his discharge from
     employment.

G.    Notwithstanding the provisions of this agreement providing for payment of
     benefits, if at the time a benefit would otherwise be payable, Employee is
     a "specified employee" [as defined below], and the payment provided for
     would be deferred compensation with the meaning of the Internal Revenue
     Code (the "Code"), section 409A, the distribution of the Employee's benefit
     may not be made until six months after the date of the Employee's
     separation from service with the Company [as that term may be defined in
     Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and regulations promulgated
     thereunder], or, if earlier the date of death of the Employee. This
     requirement shall remain in effect only for periods in which the stock of
     the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market. For
     purposes of this subparagraph a "specified employee" shall mean any
      Employee of the Company who is a "key employee" of the Company within the
     meaning of Code section 416(i). This shall include any Employee who is (i)
     a 5-percent owner of the Company's common stock, or (ii) an officer of the
     Company with annual compensation from the Company of $130,000.00 or more,
     or (iii) a 1-percent owner of Company's common stock with annual
     compensation from the Company of $150,000.00 or more (or such higher annual
     limit as may be in effect for years subsequent to 2005 pursuant to indexing
     section 416(i) of the Code). The provisions of this subparagraph have been
     adopted only in order to comply with the requirements added by Code section
     409A. These provisions shall be interpreted and administered in a manner
     consistent with the requirements of Code section 409A, together with any
     regulations or other guidance which may be published by the Treasury
     Department or Internal Revenue Service interpreting such Code section 409A.

SECTION 5 - QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PENSION PLANS.

Nothing in this Agreement shall reduce any pension benefits or benefits from
other qualified or non-qualified retirement plans maintained by Company to which
Executive is otherwise entitled without regard to this Agreement.

SECTION 6 - PROVISION FOR OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES.

In the event of the termination of employment of Executive requiring the
payments specified in Section 4 of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled
to six months of out-placement services following termination of employment.
Such services shall include employment counseling, resume services, executive
placement services and similar services generally provided to executives by
professional executive out placement service providers. All costs of such out
placement services shall be paid for by the Company.
