1.    Section 4(a)(iii) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(iii) The Executive shall be paid, in a single lump sum payment on the date of the effectiveness of the Release, a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus for the partial fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs in an amount equal to (x) the product of (A) the Annual Bonus calculated as of the Date of Termination based on the extent to which the financial performance targets applicable to such Annual Bonus (pro rated based on the number of days in such fiscal year through the Date of Termination and as if the entire Annual Bonus was based solely on such financial performance targets for such fiscal year) are actually achieved as of the Date of Termination, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days elapsed through the Date of Termination in the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs and the denominator of which shall be 365, minus (y) any semi-annual or quarterly cash bonus payments for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs that have been paid to the Executive prior to the Date of Termination (a “Pro-Rated Annual Bonus”).”

2.    The first sentence of Section 5 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Subject to Section 4(d) above, if a Change in Control (as defined herein) occurs during the Employment Period and the Executive incurs a Separation from Service by reason of a termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case within two (2) years after the effective date of the Change in Control, then the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits provided in Section 4(a) hereof, subject to the terms and conditions thereof (including, without limitation, the requirement that a condition to the Executive’s right to receive the amounts provided for in Sections 4(a)(ii), 4(a)(iii) and 4(a)(v) is that the Executive execute, deliver and not revoke the Release), except that for purposes of this Section 5, in lieu of the Pro-Rated Annual Bonus described in Section 4(a)(iii), the Executive shall be paid, in a single lump sum payment on the effective date of the Release, an amount equal to (x) the product of (A) the Executive’s Maximum Annual Bonus, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days elapsed through the Date of Termination in the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs and the denominator of which shall be 365, minus (y) any semi-annual or quarterly cash bonus payments for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs that have been paid to the Executive prior to the Date of Termination.”

3.    This First Amendment shall be and is hereby incorporated in and forms a part of the Employment Agreement.
