AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of June 1, 2007, by and between Immucor, Inc., a Georgia corporation with its executive offices at 3130 Gateway Drive, Norcross, Georgia 30071 (herein referred to as “Employer” or the “Company”), and Ralph A. Eatz (herein referred to as “Employee”), and amends the Employment Agreement between the Company and Employee dated May 1, 2004, as previously amended May 22, 2006 (the “Original Agreement”).

The purpose of this Amendment is to reflect that upon a termination after a Change in Control (as defined in the Original Agreement) the amount payable to Employee will be reduced from five (5) times Employee’s Average Annual Compensation (as defined therein) to two (2) times Employee’s Average Annual Compensation.

Except as amended below, the terms of the Original Agreement will remain in effect.

Section 7(b) of the Original Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows . .. . :

“(b)                           If, within 60 days after an event described in Sections 7(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) or (a)(iv) (a “Change of Control”), the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment with the Employer, or if during the term of this Agreement after a Change of Control Employer terminates Employee’s employment (whether for Cause or without Cause), then Employer shall pay Employee (instead of the amount specified in Section 4(c), if any,) an amount equal to two (2) times the Employee’s Average Annual Compensation (as defined below), to be paid in a single payment at the time of termination. In consideration of such payment and his employment hereunder through the date of such termination, Employee agrees to remain bound by the provisions of this Agreement which specifically relate to periods, activities or obligations upon or subsequent to the termination of Employee’s employment.”

 

The parties have executed and delivered this Amendment as of the date first mentioned above.
