Benefits  provided  by  Molzen  Corbin,  such  as  health/dental  insurance  and
                         vacation/sick  leave  accruals,  will  continue  while  the  employee  is  receiving  a
                         paycheck from Molzen Corbin (subject to meeting the requirements of the Family
                         Medical  Leave  Act).  Once  the  employee  has  exhausted  accrued  leave  and  is  no
                         longer receiving a paycheck from Molzen Corbin, all Company-provided benefits
                         will  cease.    If  and  when  the  employee  returns  to  full-time  active  employment,
                         benefits will begin again.

                  G.     FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT

                         1.      Eligibility  for  Leave.  Molzen  Corbin  will  comply  with  the  Family  and
                                 Medical  Leave  Act  of  1993  (FMLA).    In  general,  the  Act  allows  up  to
                                 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave.  All staff members who have at least
                                 12 months of service (whether consecutive or not), and who have worked
                                 1,250 or more hours during the preceding 12 months, and who at the time of
                                 request work at a company location where 50 or more employees work within
                                 75 miles, may be eligible for unpaid Family and Medical Leave.

                         2.      Required Notice and Medical Certification.  If the necessity for the leave is
                                 foreseeable, an employee must provide Molzen Corbin with thirty (30) days’
                                 advance  written  notice  of  a  request  for  leave,  but  in  any  case,  notice  is
                                 requested  as  soon  as  such  notice  is  practicable  (i.e.,  within  one  or  two
                                 business days when the need for leave becomes known to the employee).

                                 An employee must give Molzen Corbin verbal or written notice of FMLA
                                 impending leave as soon as practicable.

                                   the reasons for the leave;
                                   the anticipated leave date; and
                                   the anticipated duration of the leave.

                                 Appropriate documentation may be requested to verify the reasons for the
                                 leave.  Any requested leave based on a serious health condition, whether it
                                 involves  the  employee  or  a  family  member,  may  require  an  appropriate
                                 medical certification by a licensed health care provider.  In all cases of leave
                                 for medical reasons, Molzen Corbin reserves the right to request a second
                                 medical opinion at Company expense and further medical opinion, where
                                 appropriate.  Periodic  recertification  also  may  be  required  for  requested
                                 extensions  of medical  leave,  absences which exceed thirty  (30) days,  and
                                 other appropriate circumstances.
