WHEREAS, the Parties desire to further amend the Existing Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Annual Bonus payments will be determined in the discretion of the Board or the compensation committee thereof and will be subject to achievement of any applicable performance milestones or other terms and conditions determined by the Board or the compensation committee thereof. The Annual Bonus will be payable as soon as practicable following the end of the calendar year to which the bonus relates, subject to Employee’s continued employment on the payment date.”

4.Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Section 3.3 of the Existing Agreement is hereby removed in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Employee acknowledges and agrees that there is no assurance that the Existing Agreement (as amended hereby) will be renewed or

extended beyond the third anniversary of the Agreement Effective Date, and neither Employee nor the Company has any obligation to renew or extend the Existing Agreement (as amended hereby) or any right to require any such renewal or extension, and a failure to renew or extend the Existing Agreement (as amended hereby) shall not entitle Employee or the Company to any additional compensation.
