NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the parties mutually agree as follows: 3 4 IV TERMS A. ACQUISITION OF POLICY. The Parties shall cooperate in paying the annual premiums on the Policy as long as the Policy remains in force. The Policy was issued to the Owner as owner and the Owner shall be the sole and exclusive owner of the Policy. B. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS. Employer has paid the Policy premiums through March 1, 1990. All premium payments thereafter shall be paid by the Employer and the Owner in accordance with the formula set forth in this paragraph IVB(1), IVB(2), IVB(3) and IVB(4) below. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Employer and the Owner, all premium payments on the Policy are to be made in accordance with and subject to the following terms and conditions: (1) On or before thirty days prior to the due date of each required premium on the Policy (not including any grace period), the Employer shall pay to Owner the amount specified in Schedule B for the applicable policy year for each year that this Restated Agreement is in force. (2) Owner shall pay to the Insurer the amount received by it under paragraph IVB(1) above and the amount specified in Schedule C for the applicable policy year for each year that this Restated 4 5 Agreement is in force. Owner's share of the premium has been calculated using the Insurer's current published premium rate for annual renewal term insurance for standard risks for joint lives; if this is adjusted by Insurer in the future, Owner's share of the premium will be adjusted accordingly. (3) Owner shall pay its portion of each premium on a date no later than a date within the grace period allowed by the Policy. Upon request by Employer, Owner shall provide Employer with proof of payment. (4) To the extent the Employer fails to pay a portion of any premium due on the Policy, as required by paragraph IVB(1) above, the Owner may, at its option, pay all or any portion of the premium and deduct that amount from the total amount of the Employer's Policy Interest, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the Employer fails to pay a portion of any premium due on the Policy or pay the additional compensation payable under the following paragraph IVC, neither the Owner, Employee or any other person shall have the obligation to pay such premium due on the Policy. C. ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. As additional compensation to Employee, the Employer also shall pay to Employee, if 5 6 living, or to his wife if he is then deceased, an amount equal to the Owner's portion of the annual premium, as specified in Schedule C.

In consideration of the Employer's agreement to continue to contribute to the payment of the premiums in the manner set forth in this Restated Agreement, Owner agrees to repay to Employer, at the time and in the manner provided in this Restated Agreement, the sum of $760,000 in full settlement of all amounts due or to become due under this Restated Agreement. E. POLICY OWNERSHIP. Owner is the owner of the Policy and may exercise all rights of ownership with respect to the Policy.
