The parties agree that in the event the Internal Revenue Service issues additional guidance to the effect that any of the payments provided for in this Agreement would not be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the parties will negotiate in good faith to address such guidance so that such payments are compliant with Section 409A of the Code to the extent reasonably practicable.

2. This Amendment along with the Employment Agreement constitute the sole and entire agreements of the parties relating to the subject matter contained therein. To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Amendment and the Employment Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment shall be controlling.

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