RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, the Company and John Hancock are parties to that certain Management Services Agreement, dated as of June 3, 1999 (the “Agreement”); and

“Section 4. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by John Hancock at any time by written notice to the Company. In addition, this Agreement will terminate automatically upon the termination of John Hancock’s right to appoint a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Termination of Designation Right”); provided, however, that if an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”) shall have occurred prior to the Termination of Designation Right, this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the payment of a termination fee of $50,000 to John Hancock, which amount shall be payable promptly following the completion of the IPO. The provisions of Sections 3 and 4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.”

 

3. No Further Amendments. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Each party agrees to be bound by all of the terms of the Agreement, as amended hereby.

 

4. Miscellaneous. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
