             WHEREAS, Employee is a senior officer of the Company; and

            WHEREAS, the Company believes that Employee will make valuable
contributions to the productivity and profitability of the Company; and

            WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage Employee to continue to
make such contributions and not to seek or accept employment elsewhere; and

            WHEREAS, the Company, therefore, desires to assure Employee of
certain benefits in case of any termination or significant redefinition of the
terms of his employment with the Company subsequent to any Change in Control of
the Company;

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants herein contained and the mutual benefits herein provided, the Company
and Employee hereby agree as follows:

            1. The term of this Agreement shall be from the date hereof through
December 31, 2005; provided, however, that such term shall be automatically
extended for an additional year each year thereafter unless either party hereto
gives written notice to the other party not to so extend prior to November 30 of
the year for which notice is given, in which case no further automatic extension
shall occur.

            2. As used in this Agreement, "Change in Control" of the Company
means:

            (A) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
      meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (a "Person"), beneficial ownership
      (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act as in
      effect from time to time) of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of either
      (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or (ii) the
      combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the
      Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; provided,
      however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute an
      acquisition of control: (a) any acquisition directly from the Company
      (excluding an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion
      privilege), (b) any acquisition by the Company, (c) any acquisition by any
      employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the

      individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either
      an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule
      14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other

      such corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or
      consolidation and any Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to

      the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of
      such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
      and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of
      the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or
      consolidation were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the
