The Executive agrees to promptly execute and deliver all other documents and instruments deemed by the Company to be required, necessary or appropriate to evidence Executive’s decision and resignation as a director of the Company. The Executive shall retain his e-mail address, cell phone number, laptop and PDA throughout the Transition Period, and shall be entitled to the use of an office, upon request, as well as secretarial and administrative support with respect to his service during the Transition Period.

Except as specifically amended or modified by this Amendment, all provisions, terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
