Distribution  Date  (as  defined  below)  (such portion, the "Prepaid Premium").

     2.     Such  election  by  Rainsford  shall  be made, if at all, in writing

the  Corporation shall effect such transfer as of the Distribution Date, subject
to  the  receipt  by  the  Corporation  of  payment  by Rainsford of the Prepaid
Premium.

specifically provided herein, from and after the Distribution Date Rainsford and
the  Corporation  mutually  release  and  discharge  each other from any and all
further  obligations  and liability arising out of or relating to the Agreement.

Distribution  Date.  Rainsford  agrees  that, in the event of such cancellation,
the  Corporation  shall be entitled to any refund of any premium previously paid
on  the  Life  Insurance  Policy.

     6.     Notwithstanding  any  other provision of this Termination Agreement,
the  parties  agree that, if Rainsford dies prior to the Distribution Date, this
Termination Agreement shall immediately cease upon such death to have any effect
and  the  right  of  the parties shall continue to be governed by the Agreement,
which  in  that  circumstance  shall  continue  in  full  force  and  effect.

the  benefit  of  each  of  the  parties  hereto  and his or its heirs, personal
representatives,  successors  and  assigns.
