WHEREAS, the Company has not declared an open trading window in which to permit Employee to adopt a 10b5-1 trading plan prior to the commencement of share delivery anticipated in the Second Amended Agreement, the parties now desire to mutually amend the Agreement in this Third Amended Agreement as set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in view of the foregoing recitals which are incorporated as a part of this Third Amended Agreement, and in consideration of the terms and conditions of this Third Amended Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. | Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is amended as follows: |
Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is amended to delay delivery of 75,000 shares that vested on August 1, 2005 and would issue from August 1, 2006 through November 30, 2006, and 100,000 shares that vested on August 1, 2006 and would issue from August 2, 2006 through December 19, 2006, as follows: 175,000 registered shares that would issue under the Agreement according to the attached delivery schedule.
2. | If the Company conducts a Secondary Public Offering prior to November 1, 2006, Employee will be offered a right to sell up to 100,000 common shares in the Secondary Public Offering. If the Secondary Public Offering is not closed prior to November 1, 2006, Employee shall continue to receive the shares per columns 1 through 4 of the attached Schedule A, and Employee shall no longer be entitled to participate in the Secondary Public Offering. Company and Employee may, however, mutually agree to include any or all shares held by Employee in any public offering conducted after November 1, 2006. |
3. | If Employee resigns or is terminated for any reason except gross negligence or criminal conduct prior to the delivery of any shares pursuant to Schedule A, the remaining shares will continue to be delivered as set forth in Schedule A until all shares have been delivered. If Employee resigns or is terminated for gross negligence or criminal conduct prior to the first business day of August, 2007, Employee shall be entitled to receive the undelivered shares per the attached schedules, and to receive a prorated number of shares equal to 8,333 per month for every full month Employee has been employed by the Company from August 1, 2006 to July 31, 2007 per the schedule in column 3 of the Second Amended Agreement. |
4. | The Company recognizes that the Employee intends to enter into a 10b5-1 trading plan to sell a portion of the shares being delivered on each date in order to manage the Employees tax liability arising from the delivery schedule. |
5. | The Company makes no representations to Employee regarding any tax implications of this Third Amended Agreement. The Company also does not represent that the share price on any given date shall be the same price of the shares when Employee may have otherwise been entitled to receive shares. |
6. | All other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent any provisions of the Agreement conflict with the provisions of this Third Amended Agreement, this Third Amended Agreement shall govern. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Company and Employee have executed this Third Amended Agreement effective as of the date first set forth above.
