B. WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement by its terms may be modified or amended from time to time by the written consent of the parties thereto;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows and agree to amend the Purchase Agreement in the manner hereinafter provided:
