WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth herein to bring the Employment Agreement into compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations and Treasury guidance thereunder; and

 

WHEREAS, the amendments contemplated hereby are intended to bring the timing of, and certain procedural aspects with respect to, certain payments under the Employment Agreement into compliance with Section 409A but not to otherwise affect Executive’s right to such payments.

3.             Section 21 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following three sentences after the first sentence thereof:
