We refer you to the letter agreement dated April 21, 1999, sent to you by GSI
Lumonics and accepted by you, which sets out certain severance and termination
benefits which you will be entitled to in certain circumstances (the "Original
Agreement"). This letter (the "Amending Agreement") is intended to amend that
Original Agreement as follows:
1. The term "Company" as defined in the Original Agreement shall include any
corporation that is a direct or indirect subsidiary of GSI Lumonics Inc.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Original
Agreement, in the event that you voluntarily terminate your employment with
the Company at any time on or before September 22, 1999, you shall be
entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to your Total
Compensation multiplied by a factor of 12. Such amount shall be payable as
follows:
(a) 50% 30 days after the Date of Termination;
(b) the balance in equal consecutive monthly payments which shall be paid
on the first day of each month without interest commencing on the 1st
day of the month following the Date of Termination;
Any term used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
