2. The first sentence of Section 3(c)(4) of the Agreements shall be amended and restated as follows:
“(4) Involuntary Termination. If Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated due to an Involuntary Termination occurring other than as provided in clause (3) of this Section 3(c), then, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, which shall be treated as an exercise of negative discretion for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the Company shall enter into a Special Vesting Agreement with Employee pursuant to which the Forfeiture Restrictions shall not lapse upon such termination of employment and that this Award shall continue to remain outstanding and Employee will be treated, solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements for a lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions under Section 3(b), as continuing in the employment of the Company throughout the period during which he/she continuously satisfies the obligations set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as part of this Agreement.
3. This Amendment shall only serve to amend and modify the Agreements to the extent specifically provided herein. All terms, conditions, provisions and references of and to the Agreements which are not specifically modified, amended and/or waived herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be altered by any provisions herein contained. All prior agreements, promises, negotiations and representations, either oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Amendment not expressly set forth in this Amendment are of no force or effect.
4.This Amendment shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. The failure of a party to insist on strict adherence to any term of this Amendment on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Amendment. No waiver of any provision of this Amendment shall be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Amendment. Any waiver must be in writing.
5.This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of Participant, and the successors and assigns of the Company.
6.This Amendment may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile, “pdf” or other electronic transmission) in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Participant have executed this Amendment as of the Effective Date.
