WHEREAS, in connection with Participant’s intention to resign from the Company and its subsidiaries and the Participant’s agreement to execute an agreement of separation with the Company (or one of its Subsidiaries) (the “Separation Agreement”), the Board and the Participant have agreed that it is in their mutual best interest to amend certain provisions in the Grant and Award Agreements, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has recommended modification of certain provisions of the Grant and Award Agreements regarding vesting and, in the case of Options, post-termination exercise.

(a) The Options shall become fully vested as of December 17, 2012

3. For purposes of the Options, granted on June 2, 2006, as set forth on Schedule A:

(a) The Options shall become fully vested as of December 17, 2012.

4. For purposes of the Restricted Securities granted on April 1, 2012, as set forth on Schedule A:

(a) The requirement that the Participant remains employed until April 1, 2015 is hereby removed.

This Agreement shall become effective immediately following (i) Participant’s execution and delivery of the Separation Agreement and (ii) the effectiveness of Participant’s separation and the release provisions in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement shall only remain effective so long as the Separation Agreement remains in full force and effect and Participant is not in breach of, and does not revoke, the Separation Agreement.

8. Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, all other provisions of the Grant and Award Agreements shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
