NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which hereby is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.           Section 3(c)(ii)(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

2.           Sections 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f) of the Agreement are hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the final sentence of each such section and replacing it with the following:
 
 
 
 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only be obligated to make the payments set forth in this section if the Executive delivers to the Company within twenty-one (21) days following the termination of the Executive’s employment (or such long period to the extent required by applicable law), and does not subsequently revoke, an executed Release and Severance Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Employer’s standard Release and Severance Agreement for all employees (a copy of the current form of release is attached hereto) subject to any changes as required under applicable law to give effect to its intent and purpose; and after delivery to the Company of a resignation from all offices, directorships and fiduciary positions with the Company, its affiliates and employee benefit plans within five (5) days following the termination of the Executive’s employment.  Payments under this section shall commence on the first Company payroll date following the sixtieth (60th) day following the termination of the Executive’s employment, provided that any such payments that would have been paid in the sixty (60)-day period following the termination of the Executive’s employment but for the foregoing requirements in this section shall be paid on the first Company payroll date that occurs on or following the sixtieth (60th) day following the termination of the Executive’s employment, and the remaining payments shall be made over the balance of the twelve (12)-month period following the termination of the Executive’s employment.
