     1. Section 1(a) of the Employment Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety with the following text:

“Position. The Company agrees to employ Crecca, and Crecca agrees to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Crecca shall report to the Company’s Board of Directors.”

     2. Section 1(c) of the Employment Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety with the following text:

“Duties and Powers. Crecca shall have the customary duties, powers, responsibilities and authority of a President and Chief Executive Officer. Crecca shall perform such duties and exercise such powers upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall reasonably impose. Crecca shall devote his full working time and best efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement, except that, with the consent of the Board of Directors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Crecca may engage in charitable and community affairs activities. Crecca also agrees that participation as a member of an outside corporate board will only be undertaken with permission of the Board of Directors.”

     3. Section 2(a) of the Employment Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety with the following text:

“Base Salary. The Company shall pay Crecca an annual base salary of $435,000 commencing as of December 5, 2007 and continuing for the year 2008, increasing by

Bonus shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the applicable Bonus year. Bonus for 2007 shall be payable at the rate of 50%, or a greater rate at the discretion of the Board of Directors, of 2007 Base Salary as if this Agreement was in effect from January 1, 2007.”

     5. The reference in Section 3(a)(ii) to “the current year target amount” shall hereafter refer to the new annual bonus rate of 50%.

     6. In lieu of the address provided, any notices to the Company shall also be sent to the following address:

     8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile and PDF transmission) in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.
