deemed to include a Base Salary and Target Bonus at least equal to the Executive’s Base Salary and Target Bonus at such time, (3) as a result of the Company’s sale of its Caribbean assets and failure to offer Executive a position at a comparable level of compensation to the position held by Executive at the time of the sale, or (4) by Executive for Good Reason, in any case, during the period beginning six months before and ending two years following a Change of Control (as defined herein) of the Company subject to execution of a Release substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits set forth below in this Section 5(e).

The terms of this Amendment shall have no force and effect on any other provision of the Employment Agreement, including subsections (i) through (v) of Section 5(e).  Upon execution, the terms of this Amendment shall be incorporated into the Employment Agreement and shall become binding and enforceable to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as all other provisions in the Employment Agreement when executed on November 28, 2005.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.
