a. | Sections 5.1 and 5.8 are hereby deleted and replaced with the following: |
5.1 | Salary. An annual salary of $400,000.00, subject to applicable withholdings and deductions and paid in installments in accordance with the Companys normal payroll practices for its senior management. Such annual salary shall be subject to review at the end of each year of the Employment Period by the compensation committee of the board of directors in consultation with the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer. |
