Agreement is terminated as to Grandfathered Accounts. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan and Agreement to the contrary, the
entire balance in each Grandfathered Account shall be distributed to
the Executive on or before December 31, 2005."

3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment on the day
