NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

The actual amount of such performance bonus shall be based upon the attainment of one or more pre-established performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion no later than March 31 of the applicable calendar year, following good faith consultation with the Employee. The payment of any such annual bonus, to the extent such annual bonus becomes payable, shall be subject to the Employee’s employment by the Company through December 31 of the calendar year to which the bonus relates, and shall be paid on the date on which annual bonuses are paid generally to the Company’s senior executives (but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such annual bonus relates).”
2.Exhibit B of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the phrase “[RESERVED]”.

4.This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and such counterpart together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
