3. Section 5 entitled Fringe Benefits is hereby deleted in its
entirety and a new Section 5 is hereby substituted as follows:
Employee shall participate in any group health

benefits available to part-time employees of Xxxxxxx

which may be amended or terminated by Xxxxxxx TXEN at
any time. In addition, the Employee shall be allowed
to purchase the prevailing Blue Cross/Blue Shield

provider of such coverage, the Employee and his
spouse shall be entitled to obtain health insurance
coverage by paying the premium cost therefor in the

Except as amended above, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect according to its terms and conditions.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto executed this Amendment
Number Two to Employment Agreement on the date and year first above written.
