Section 8

     (d)  Compensation upon Death. In the event of the Executive's death, the
          Company shall pay to the Executive (or beneficiaries, or estate, as
          the case may be) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Compensation
          Payments, (ii) the Termination Bonus, if any, and (iii) an amount
          equal to the sum of the Total Cash Compensation Executive would have
          received during the remaining Term of the Agreement, such amount to be
          calculated from the date of the Executive's death (the "Death

          Section 8(d), where the Death Calculation Period is for twenty-four
          (24) calendar months or less, the Company shall pay the Executive
          under 8(d)(iii) an amount equal to the sum of two (2) full year's
          Total Cash Compensation. Executive shall be entitled to any other
          rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Executive in
          accordance with the terms and provision of any agreements, plans or
          programs of the Company.




         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered as of the date first written above.
