NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.                                     Section 1.2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

2.                                     Except as amended hereby, the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date set forth above.
