Nothing in this

5.             Effect of the Amendment on Employment Relationship.  Nothing in this Amendment shall be construed as conferring upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of (or otherwise provide services to) the Company, or to limit in any respect the right of the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment or other relationship with the Company at any time.

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