1.   Section 2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“2.    Term.    This Agreement shall terminate on June 30, 2003. Following such termination, and subject to the mutual agreement of the Corporation and Shahar at such time, Shahar may continue to be employed by the Corporation as an “at will” employee.

Upon any such termination of this Agreement by Shahar or the Corporation pursuant to this Section 6(a), no severance shall be paid to Shahar.”

 

5.   Section 6(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:

 

“If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(b), no severance shall be paid to Shahar.”
