out the provisions of said Section 6) shall continue in effect indefinitely
unless terminated by the mutual agreement of you and the Corporation."

     2.   Section 2(ii) of the Prior Agreement is amendment by deleting the
parenthetical phrase therein and substituting therefore the following:

     Company, including but not limited too Messrs. Martin E. Franklin and Ian

     3.   Section 4(iv)(e) and (f) of the Prior Agreement are amended by adding
the phrase "as the same may be increased from time to time" after the phrase

     4.   The Prior Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 6
thereto to read as follows, and by changing all Section references in the Prior

          Cause (as defined in Section 4(iii) above), then you shall be
          entitled to the benefits described in Section 5(iii) above, provided
                                                                       --------
          however, that for this Section 6 (a) the definition of Constructive
          -------
          Termination shall be modified by deleting all references therein to "a
          Change in Control of the Corporation," "the Change in Control of the
          Corporation" and all similar references and replacing them with "June
          21, 2001" and (b) Section 5(iii) shall be deemed to be modified by (x)
