Amendment to Special Retention Payment Letter Agreement between Company and Bruce A. Carbonari
This amendment updates a previous agreement between the company and Bruce A. Carbonari regarding a special retention payment. Due to changes in tax law (Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), the payment will now be made no earlier than six months after Mr. Carbonari leaves the company. The amendment requires Mr. Carbonari's signature to confirm his acceptance of the new terms.

Re: Amendment of Special Retention Payment Letter
Dear Bruce:
By letter dated January 2, 2002 (the Letter Agreement), the Company extended a special retention payment opportunity to you. Since that time, legislation was enacted governing deferred compensation (Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code). Because you are currently a specified employee as defined in Section 409A, and you will likely continue to be classified as a specified employee, we are amending your Letter Agreement as follows:
The Letter Agreement is amended to provide that the Special Management Retention Payment will not be paid earlier than six months following your separation from service (as defined in Section 409A).
Please sign below to indicate your agreement to this amendment of the Letter Agreement.
Sincerely, | ||

I have read this letter and agree to the amendment to my Special Management Retention Payment arrangement as set forth above.
