WHEREAS Employee and the Company entered into an Employment Agreement dated June 4, 2010 (the Employment Agreement);
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved a change in the Companys fiscal year from the twelve month period ending October 31st to the twelve month period ending March 31st;
WHEREAS Employee and the Company desire to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth below in order to align compensation periods with the other employees of the Company following the change in the Companys fiscal year;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, Employee and the Company hereby agree to amend the Employment Agreement as follows:
1. All capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement.
2. The twelve month period ending October 31, 2010 shall be deemed a Fiscal Year for all purposes under Sections 3 and 6 of the Employment Agreement.
3. The period commencing November 1, 2010 and ending March 31, 2011 shall be deemed a Fiscal Year (the Pro-rated Fiscal Year) for all purposes under Sections 3 and 6 of the Employment Agreement; provided that:
(a) The Employees Bonus under Section 3(b) of the Employment Agreement for the Pro-rated Fiscal Year shall be based upon the Salary payable to Employee during the Pro-rated Fiscal Year.
(b) In the event the Employees employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Employment Agreement during the Pro-rated Fiscal Year, the target Bonus payable to Employee shall be a pro rata portion of the Bonus that would have been payable to Employee during the Pro-rated Fiscal Year based upon the number of days worked by Employee during the Pro-rated Fiscal Year.
(c) In the event the Employees employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Employment Agreement during the Pro-rated Fiscal Year, Accrued Bonus shall mean an amount equal to the mid-point target Bonus as set forth in Section 3(b) of the Employment Agreement multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days worked by Employee during such Pro-Rated Fiscal Year and the denominator of which shall be 365.

(d) In the event the Employees employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Employment Agreement in the Fiscal Year immediately following the Pro-rated Fiscal Year, the Pro-rated Fiscal Year shall be deemed a full fiscal year for the purposes of determining all unpaid bonuses with respect to the last full fiscal year as provided in Section 6(c)(iv) of the Employment Agreement.
(e) In the event the Employees employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Employment Agreement following the Pro-rated Fiscal Year and prior to October 31, 2011, the Accrued Bonus payable to the Employee shall be an amount equal to (i) the Accrued Bonus as calculated under the Employment Agreement as if a change in fiscal year from October 31st had not occurred, less (ii) an amount equal to the Bonus, if any, paid or payable to the Employee in respect of the Pro-rated Fiscal Year.
4. The Employers five month fiscal period ended March 31, 2010 shall not be deemed a Fiscal Year for purposes of Sections 3 and 6 of the Employment Agreement, and Employee hereby waives any and all claims for a Bonus in respect of such period on a stand-alone basis.
5. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Employment Agreement shall continue unmodified in full force and effect.
