AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree to the provisions set forth below.

1.     Section 1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

1.    Employment Term. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement, Executive shall continue employment with Post until October 9, 2017 (the “Employment Term”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, commencing on October 9, 2017 and on each October 9 thereafter (each, an “Extension Date”), the Employment Term shall be automatically extended for an additional one year period, unless Post or Executive provides the other party hereto at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice before the relevant Extension Date that the Employment Term shall not be so extended. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Employment Term” shall include any extension that becomes applicable pursuant to the preceding sentence.

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