Agreement:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements contained herein and of such other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which Employee acknowledges, the Company and the Employee, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree that the Employment Agreement is hereby amended in the following respects:

 

1.                                       The first sentence of section 2 entitled “Duties” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“During the Term, Employee shall serve as Senior Vice President (hereinafter, “Senior Vice President”) of the Company and shall report to, and have those duties, responsibilities, and authority assigned to him from time to time by, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (hereinafter, the “CEO”) or the CEO’s designee; provided, further, that all determinations that may be made by the CEO under this Agreement may also be made by the CEO’s designee.”

 

2.                                       A new sentence is added to the end of section 8(e) to read as follows:

 

“Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8(e) to the contrary, this Section 8(e) shall not apply to a termination of the Employee’s employment that occurs within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control.”

 

3.                                       Amendment and Waiver.  The provisions of this Amendment may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment on the date first written above.
