                           (i)      Section 8(c) of the Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                  "The Term of Employment shall terminate immediately upon the
                  death of the Executive."

                           (ii)     Section 8(d) is modified by deleting the
reference to Section 8(c) therein.

                  (b)      Compensation Upon Termination Due to Death. Section
10(b) is amended by inserting the following:

                  "In addition, in the event the Term of Employment is
                  terminated pursuant to Section 8(c), then the Company shall
                  pay to the Executive's estate promptly after the Date of
                  Termination (subject to the Company's receipt of a Release
                  from the Executive or his legal representative): (i) a
                  lump-sum payment equal to 100% of the Base Salary in effect at
                  the Date of Termination; (ii) the value of the unused vacation
                  accrued as of the Date of Termination; (iii) an amount that
                  the MCC determines, in its sole discretion, is appropriate to
                  compensate the Executive for the bonus opportunity he had for
                  the current year through the Date of Termination; and (iv) any
                  Base Salary, unreimbursed expenses, additional compensation or
                  benefits, including the Retirement Benefit, accrued but unpaid
                  or vested as of the Termination Date."

                  (c)      Disability of the Executive. Section 10(c) is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                  "In the event the Executive is terminated pursuant to Section
                  8(b), then the Company shall pay to the Executive promptly
                  after the Date of Termination (subject to the Company's
                  receipt of a Release from the Executive or his legal


                                                                   Page 89 of 95

                  representative): (i) a lump-sum payment equal to 100% of the
                  Base Salary in effect at the Date of Termination; (ii) the
                  value of the unused vacation accrued as of the Date of
                  Termination; (iii) an amount that the MCC determines, in its
                  sole discretion, is appropriate to compensate the Executive
                  for the bonus opportunity he had for the current year through
                  the Date of Termination; and (iv) any Base Salary,
                  unreimbursed expenses, additional compensation or benefits,
                  including the Retirement Benefit, accrued but unpaid or vested
                  as of the Termination Date. In addition, the Executive shall
                  be entitled to continue receiving the benefits provided in
                  Section 7(a) of the Agreement, for up to twelve (12) months
                  following the Date of Termination. The Executive shall cease
                  receiving any of the Section 7(a) benefits provided for
                  hereunder, however, on the first date on which the Executive
                  is eligible to receive the same type of benefit from a new
                  employer or entity for whom he is acting as an independent
                  contractor. The Executive shall cease receiving one type of
                  Section 7(a) benefits, but not another if he does not receive
                  such benefits in his new position."

         3.       DEFINED TERMS. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, all
capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement.

         4.       SURVIVAL OF THE AGREEMENT. Except as amended by this
Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance
with the terms thereof.

         5.       MISCELLANEOUS. This Amendment is governed by the internal laws
of the State of New York. All references in the Agreement to the Agreement shall
mean the Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
