WHEREAS, Employer and Employee have entered into that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2008 (the “Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, Employer is willing and Employee desires to modify certain terms and conditions to the Agreement as more fully set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Amendment, the parties hereto agree as follows:
