EXHIBIT 10.24                                                       Page 2 of 11



                 Company-leased car or a car allowance, group health benefits,

                 long-term disability benefits, group life insurance, sick leave

                 and vacation. Each of these fringe benefits is subject to the

                 applicable Company policy at all times. Executive expressly

                 agrees that should he or she terminate employment with Company

                 for the purpose of being re-employed by a Company affiliate, he

                 or she shall "carry-over" any previously accrued but unused

                 vacation balance to the books of the affiliate.



                 Company reserves the right to add, increase, reduce or

                 eliminate any fringe benefit at any time, but no such benefit

                 or benefits shall be reduced or eliminated as to Executive

                 unless generally reduced or eliminated as to comparable

                 executives within the Company.



         4.      LIMIT: To the extent that any compensation to be paid to

                 Executive under this Agreement would be non-deductible by the

                 Company as a result of the $1 million compensation limit

                 provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of

                 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then such compensation shall not

                 be paid out to Executive at that time but shall instead be

                 deferred and paid without interest to Executive (subject to

                 applicable withholding and only to the extent that payment of

                 such deferred amount is fully deductible under Code Section

                 162(m)) in the first month of the taxable year following the

                 taxable year of deferral. If the subsequent payment of the

                 deferral is itself subject to further deferral pursuant to this

                 Paragraph F.4, then such further deferred amount shall instead

                 be paid in the first month of the next following taxable year.



G.       PAYMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT OF BUSINESS EXPENSES: Company shall pay

         directly or reimburse Executive for reasonable business expenses of

         Company incurred by Executive in connection with Company business, and

         approved in writing by the person(s) to whom Executive reports pursuant

         to Paragraph C hereof, upon presentation to such person(s) by Executive

         within sixty (60) days after incurring such expense of an itemized

         request for payment including the date, nature, recipient, purpose and

         amount of each such expense, accompanied by receipts for all such

         expenses in accordance with Company policy.



H.       BUSINESS CONDUCT: Executive shall comply with all applicable laws

         pertaining to the performance of this Agreement, and with all lawful

         and ethical rules, regulations, policies, codes of conduct, procedures

         and instructions of Company, including but not limited to the

         following:



         1.       GOOD FAITH: Executive shall not act in any way contrary to the

                  best interest of Company. Executive agrees that if he or she

                  is approached by any person to discuss a possible acquisition

                  or other transaction that could result in a change of control

                  of the Company, Executive will immediately advise the

                  Company's General Counsel and Chair of the Nominating,

                  Governance and Succession Committee of the Board of Directors.



         2.       BEST EFFORTS: During all full-time employment hereunder,

                  Executive shall devote full working time and attention to

                  Company. Notwithstanding any other agreement to the contrary,

                  Executive shall not at any time be directly or indirectly

                  employed by, own, operate, assist or otherwise be involved,

                  invested or associated in any business that is similar or

                  competitive to any business of Company; except that Executive

                  may own up to five percent (5%) of such publicly-held

                  business(es), provided that Executive: (a) shall give Company

                  notice(s) of any such ownership exceeding two percent (2%), in

                  accordance with Paragraph W hereof, and (b) shall not at any

                  time be directly or indirectly employed by or operate, assist,

                  or otherwise be involved or associated with any such

                  business(es).



         3.       VERACITY: Executive shall make no claims or promises to any

                  employee, supplier, contractor, customer or sales prospect of

                  Company that are unauthorized by Company or are in any way

                  untrue.

                  issued by Company and shall carry a valid driver's license
