Company shall pay to the Director's beneficiary a benefit equal to the
difference between $120,000 and the total payments previously distributed to the
Director under this Agreement. The Company shall pay the benefit to the
beneficiary in a lump sum within 60 days following the Director's death. This
shall terminate any further obligations the Company has to the Director or his
beneficiary.

deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Director, or if
the Director names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently
dissolved. If the Director dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all
payments shall be made to the Director's surviving spouse, if any, and if none,

his or her property the Company may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal
representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent
person or incapable person. The Company may require proof of incompetence,
minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the
benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all
liability with respect to such benefit.

review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice
issued by the Company. Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the
